Oppo confirmed via a teaser today that its “next-generation Find flagship smartphones”, likely the Find X7 and X7 Pro, “will support satellite communication”. It’s not clear if both devices will get this feature or if it will be exclusive to the Pro model.
Satellite communication is becoming a trend in flagship smartphones. Almost all flagship smartphone makers are now interested in including it in their devices, and some, like Apple and Huawei, already have.
According to reports, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Honor, and Huawei are in talks with China Telecom on how to innovate and popularize “mobile phone direct connection to satellite” technology.
This means that it’s likely that more brands, besides Huawei in China, will start adding satellite communication capabilities to their future devices.
For those who are not familiar, satellite communication allows smartphones to communicate even if you have no cellular and WiFi coverage. This is a critical feature for users in remote areas or during emergencies.
Additional details about the Find X7 series
Word on the street is that the Find X7 will feature Dimensity 9300, while the X7 Pro will be feasting on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. The Find X7 Pro is also rumored to be sporting Sony’s new LYT-900 Lytia camera sensor.
What’s for sure is that the Find X7 series will be the first to feature the HyperTone camera system, which Oppo developed in partnership with Hasselblad. The system enables high image qualities for every focal length whether it’s day or night.
The Oppo Find X7 series should be released soon, at least in the Chinese market, as official teasers have started to appear. We will keep you updated on the latest news.
