We’ve already got our hands on a few 2024 flagships, including the vivo X200 Pro, Find X8 Pro, Xiaomi 15, and Xiaomi 15 Pro. While Xiaomi has kept its base model compact and Vivo introduced a Pro mini model, Oppo’s 2024 flagship lineup currently lacks a similar compact offering.
The Find X8 packs flagship specs but may not appeal to those who prefer smaller phones, especially with more compact choices from other brands.
Alleged ‘Find X8 mini’ could launch alongside the Ultra model this Spring
Well, things might not remain the same for long, as reliable tipster Digital Chat Station speculates Oppo could release a more compact Find X8 series device alongside the Find X8 Ultra this Spring. This rumor aligns with previous hints from tipster Smart Pikachu.
To recall, Oppo has shifted its release strategy for the Find X series several times so far. For instance, the Find X2 and X3 series each had four models, while the Find X5 lineup adopted a streamlined trio. The Find X6 and X7 series then reduced this to just two models, introducing the first Ultra model, the Find X7 Ultra, in January 2024. Interestingly, the Find X7 lineup omitted a Pro variant, which is probably making its return with the new Find X8 series.
Unfortunately, the tipster didn’t share anything about the specifications of the device. Vivo’s compact flagship packs a 6.31″ 1.5K display and weighs 187g. In contrast, the standard Find X8 packs a 6.59″ display and a 5630mAh battery with support for 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. That said, the alleged Find X8 mini could come with a slightly smaller battery.
The Find X8 Ultra on the other hand is rumored to come with a dual periscope telephoto setup with slightly modified focal lengths and support for 10x hybrid zoom.
While the compact model may sacrifice the dual-telephoto setup, it should still benefit from Oppo’s enhanced image processing and AI-driven camera improvements.
