OPPO Find X8s Series Globally Premieres MediaTek Dimensity 9400+, Breaking Industry Convention!

For the past few years, the cooperation between smartphone manufacturers and chip manufacturers has followed a relatively stable pattern: Qualcomm's top-tier processors are usually globally premiered by Xiaomi, while MediaTek's top-tier processors are typically premiered by vivo. This cooperation model even extended to minor iterative processor releases. However, this year has seen a shift, breaking with established industry convention. Well-known industry insider "Digital Chat Station" revealed that the OPPO Find X8s series will be the first globally to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor. This means vivo has lost the premiere rights to MediaTek's latest flagship processor this year, and the release date of its corresponding product will be later than the OPPO Find X8s series.

This news has undoubtedly sent shockwaves through the mobile phone industry. The close cooperation between vivo and MediaTek has been evident for a long time, and OPPO's "intervention" has prompted speculation about the underlying reasons. Perhaps OPPO, leveraging its outstanding market performance and strategic positioning, successfully secured MediaTek's favor. The success of the OPPO Find X8, which achieved record-breaking sales for the Find series, may have been a key factor, bolstering OPPO's confidence in its partnerships with chip manufacturers.

Beyond the processor breakthrough, the OPPO Find X8s series demonstrates impressive capabilities in other areas. "Digital Chat Station" revealed that the OPPO Find X8s will feature a 6.3-inch flat screen with a 1.5K resolution, setting a new industry record for narrow bezels. Its sibling model, the OPPO Find X8s+, boasts a 6.59-inch flat screen, also with a 1.5K resolution, consistent with the OPPO Find X8. However, the OPPO Find X8s+ offers upgrades in processor and battery capacity, with a significantly larger battery. The OPPO Find X8s+ also surpasses the OPPO Find X8s in terms of its imaging system.

Notably, the entire OPPO Find X8s series comes standard with 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, along with optical in-display fingerprint recognition, dual speakers, an X-axis linear motor, and waterproofing, providing users with a more comprehensive experience. However, it's worth noting that the OPPO Find X8s series retains traditional optical fingerprint recognition instead of the more advanced ultrasonic fingerprint technology, which could potentially be a disadvantage compared to competitors.

However, the OPPO Find X8s series' pricing strategy might be its greatest competitive advantage. "Digital Chat Station" suggests that the starting price of the OPPO Find X8s series will be very competitive, continuing the cost-effective tradition of the OPPO Find X8. It's worth recalling that the OPPO Find X8, with its affordable price, stood out among numerous flagship models, achieving remarkable sales results. This proves that price advantage remains a crucial factor in the smartphone market; even without high-end features like ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, the OPPO Find X8 sold exceptionally well, setting a new sales record for the Find series.

The simultaneous launch of two models, the OPPO Find X8s and OPPO Find X8s+, might also be a crucial factor in securing the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ premiere. This dual-model strategy allows for broader market coverage and enhances brand influence and market share.

According to leaks, vivo (excluding iQOO) appears to have only one model equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor the X200S with other two models possibly not receiving updates. However, "Digital Chat Station" notes that the specific market situation will need to be observed for another month or so, as these models are expected to be commercially available in April.

In conclusion, the OPPO Find X8s series' global premiere of the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor marks a further evolution in the competitive landscape of the smartphone market. OPPO's success lies not only in the outstanding performance and cost-effectiveness of its products but also in its precise market strategy and strong partnerships with chip manufacturers. Whether OPPO can maintain this momentum remains to be seen. This change in the cooperation model will undoubtedly have a profound impact on other smartphone manufacturers and chip manufacturers, bringing new considerations and challenges to the industry. This isn't simply a transfer of processor premiere rights; it's a strategic adjustment in the market competition, foreshadowing a more exciting and fiercely competitive future for the smartphone market. The success or failure of the OPPO Find X8s series will have a guiding effect on future smartphone market trends and deserves close attention and in-depth study by industry professionals. This event once again proves that in intense market competition, only continuous innovation and improvement of product competitiveness can ensure success. The success of the OPPO Find X8s series undoubtedly provides valuable experience and lessons for other smartphone manufacturers.

The launch of the OPPO Find X8s series has also prompted industry insiders to reflect on future trends in the smartphone market. On one hand, it shows that smartphone manufacturers are no longer limited to established models when selecting chip partners, but instead focus more on overall product competitiveness and market demand. On the other hand, it highlights the importance of cost-effectiveness in the smartphone market: even without some high-end configurations, a product can still win over consumers if the price is affordable enough. Future competition among smartphone manufacturers will become even fiercer, and consumers will have more choices, driving the entire mobile phone industry to continuously innovate and bring better products and services to consumers. Therefore, the global premiere of the OPPO Find X8s series is not merely a simple product launch but a significant exploration and attempt to shape the future direction of the entire mobile phone industry.

In the future, we can expect more manufacturers to break with established cooperation models, exploring new partnerships to bring consumers more innovative and competitive products. The success of the OPPO Find X8s series provides valuable experience and lessons for other smartphone manufacturers, signaling that the smartphone market is entering a more diversified and dynamic development stage a future that consumers and the entire mobile phone industry can eagerly anticipate.
