OPPO Find X8 Ultra is Coming Soon: Price Hike, Imaging Flagship Upgrade, and Find X8 mini Revealed

OPPO launched the Find X8 series flagship phones in late October last year, garnering significant attention. However, the highly anticipated ultra-premium model, the OPPO Find X8 Ultra, remained elusive. Only last month did OPPO's Find series product head, Zhou Yi Bao, confirm that the Find series will adopt a stable release schedule of "spring flagship launch + autumn flagship launch," signifying that the new OPPO Find X8 Ultra will be unveiled this spring. As time progresses, more information about this flagship phone is surfacing.

Recently, digital blogger @DigitalChatStation revealed that the OPPO Find X8 Ultra's price will increase compared to its predecessor. The OPPO Find X7 Ultra's 12GB+256GB version was priced at 5999 yuan, the 16GB+256GB version at 6499 yuan, and the 16GB+512GB version at 6999 yuan. This suggests that the Find X8 Ultra's starting price might exceed 6000 yuan.

Beyond the price adjustment, the OPPO Find X8 Ultra boasts significant hardware upgrades. Leaks indicate a 6.82-inch 2K BOE X2 deeply curved screen, a metal frame with chamfered edges for enhanced comfort, and a centrally positioned large circular camera design similar to the Find X8 Pro, but with more prominent camera bumps. Despite this, the overall thickness is expected to be well-managed.

In terms of the imaging system, the OPPO Find X8 Ultra will maintain its flagship imaging positioning with a quad-camera setup. The main camera will feature a massive one-inch sensor, expected to be the Sony IMX900, significantly enhancing light sensitivity and image quality. It will also include two 50MP periscope telephoto lenses using Sony IMX906 and IMX882 sensors, supporting 3x and 6x optical zoom respectively. These sensors boast a maximum size of 1/1.56 inches, effectively boosting telephoto capabilities. The ultrawide-angle lens will also receive minor upgrades, utilizing a Sony IMX882 sensor and optimizations in both hardware and algorithms to improve distortion correction and high-specification video recording performance.

Furthermore, recent reports suggest the OPPO Find X8 Ultra may launch with a new "Hasselblad color scheme" and feature a dedicated photography button, further enhancing the user's imaging creation experience.

Besides the Find X8 Ultra, another anticipated model, the OPPO Find X8 mini, has also surfaced in leaks. @DigitalChatStation revealed that this smaller straight-screen phone will be powered by the Dimensity 9400 processor, equipped with a 6.31-inch 1.5K LTPO screen, and feature a triple rear camera system with a 50MP IMX9 main sensor and a 50MP high-quality periscope telephoto lens. Additionally, the Find X8 mini will adopt a metal frame and glass body design, and include under-display fingerprint scanning and wireless charging, offering a balanced and excellent overall configuration.

Currently, OPPO hasn't officially revealed details about the Find X8 Ultra and Find X8 mini, but based on their previously announced product plans, these new phones are expected to be priced between 4000 and 7000 yuan (actual prices will be confirmed by official announcements).

Beyond these two phones, OPPO's next-generation foldable phone, the Find N5, is also highly anticipated. Leaks suggest that the Find N5 will be lighter and thinner, featuring a 2K high-refresh-rate screen, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, a large-capacity battery, and wireless charging. In terms of imaging, the Find N5 will boast a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, Hasselblad co-branded image processing algorithm, IPX8 water resistance, and improved drop resistance. Overall, the Find N5's capabilities will be significantly enhanced.

Based on the leaked information, the OPPO Find X8 Ultra, Find X8 mini, and Find N5 are poised to be top contenders in their respective market segments. The Find X8 Ultra will cater to high-end users with its powerful imaging system and premium configuration; the Find X8 mini will appeal to users seeking portability with its slim design and excellent features; and the Find N5 will provide a superior foldable phone experience with its lightweight design, robust performance, and advanced imaging system. As the spring launch event draws closer, we can expect more detailed information about these three new phones. The price increase for the OPPO Find X8 Ultra signals further advancements in imaging technology and hardware configuration, which is undoubtedly exciting for users seeking the ultimate imaging experience. The introduction of the Find X8 mini provides more choices and enriches OPPO's product line. OPPO's spring lineup of multiple heavyweight new products will solidify its leading position in the smartphone market. We anticipate these new phones will bring users a refreshing and innovative user experience in the near future.
