Oppo‘s Zhou Yibao has revealed several aspects of the company’s upcoming flagship lineup, the Find X8 series. In a recent Weibo post, the company executive unveiled the front design of the Find X8 Pro.
Find X8 Pro will come in two different versions:
He also confirmed that the Find X8 Pro will launch in two different models: one that supports satellite connectivity, and one that doesn’t. Unlike last year, the satellite communication edition will launch alongside the standard version.
As stated, the photo was taken by the company exec’s friend who participated in the Gobi Challenge. He also tested the satellite connectivity and it reportedly functioned properly. For those unfamiliar, satellite connectivity allows users to make calls and send messages even in remote areas where there is no traditional cellular network coverage, essentially providing communication access almost anywhere on Earth. So the phone seen in the image seems to be the satellite communication edition.
Oppo Find X8 Pro specs (rumored):
While the image doesn’t reveal much about the front design of the device, previous rumors claim that the phone will come with a 6.82-inch 1.5K micro-curved display. In contrast, last year’s lineup only has two models – the Find X7 and Find X7 Ultra. While the Find X7 packs a 6.78-inch display, the Find X7 Ultra offers a slightly larger 6.82 inch panel.
In terms of performance, both the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro packs the Dimensity 9400 chipset, which apparently boasts a solid CPU and GPU upgrade. The satellite communication edition of the Find X8 Pro has already surfaced on Geekbench with a single and multi-core score of over 3000 and 8500 respectively.
There will also be larger batteries on both the standard and Pro models: 5600 mAh for Find X8 and 5700 mAh for Find X8 Pro. This is also a significant upgrade over the predecessors, both of which use 5000mAh batteries. Interestingly, the company executive also previously revealed that the phones are going to be lighter than expected. While he didn’t reveal the weight of the Pro model, the base model weighs less than 200 grams, lighter than its predecessor.
According to a previous rumor, the phone will be available in multiple markets, including India.
