Reports suggest that three Chinese smartphone brands are set to launch their “Ultra” models in quick succession. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra, Oppo Find X8 Ultra, and Vivo X200 Ultra are expected to debut in February, March, and April, respectively. While the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is confirmed to launch on Feb. 27, a new development reveals that the Find X8 Ultra will be unveiled in April.
Oppo Find X8 Ultra to launch in April
Today, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station released the above Weibo post to reveal that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is the “Ultra” that will launch in the first quarter of this year. Without specifying the exact name, the tipster claimed that another Ultra, which was expected to launch in Q1, has changed its release date. He could be talking about the Find X8 Ultra, which now appears to be rescheduled to launch in Q2.
After this Weibo post, Oppo fans started reaching out to Find Series Product Manager Zhou Yibao for an update on the X8 Ultra’s delayed arrival. To clear up the doubts, he released the above Weibo post to clarify that the company never changed the Find X8 Ultra’s launch schedule. It is still set to be unveiled in April as originally planned and it is guaranteed that customers will be able to purchase it that same month.
He added that the Find X8 Ultra will be the only Ultra phone in China with a flat display. While he did not go into the specifics, he revealed that the display will be surrounded by the thinnest bezels ever seen on a smartphone. Alongside the X8U, Oppo will also unveil new IoT devices, a brand-new chip platform, and an ultra-lightweight compact flagship under the Find series.
So, it appears that Oppo may launch three smartphones in April in China. The first one is the Find X8 Ultra with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, and the other two are said to be “X8S” branded phones, such as the Find X8S and Find X8S Mini (unofficial name). The X8S models may come equipped with the new Dimensity 9400+ chip, which is expected to go official in March.
