OPPO’s flagship Find series hasn’t seen an update in over two years and there is a very good chance that the company has scrapped the lineup in favor of its OPPO R9 series. However, rumors about the OPPO Find 9 flagship, which should ideally be the successor to the OPPO Find 7 smartphones have continued to come in. Earlier, it was said that the Find 9 will be announced sometime in June this year. That clearly didn’t happen and now, noted analyst Pan Jiutang says that the Find 9 could possible release by Summer next year.

According to the analyst, he reportedly found OPPO Find 9 project recently, proving that the phone is still under development. He further added that the phone has very powerful hardware. We already know that if the OPPO Find 9 makes it to the market, then it should feature the company’s super-fast Super VOOC Fast Charging technology, which charges a phone in just 15 minutes. There are other features like top-end Snapdragon chipset, 6GB RAM and powerful camera setup that we can expect on the device.

If the release is indeed next Summer, we will have to wait for a few months more to get more details on the device. But it remains to be seen whether OPPO would consider releasing an update to the Find 9 series almost three years after the Find 7 was announced in the market.

OPPO’s Find series has always been one of the best, featuring top-end specs and good looks. However, if you remember, the last OPPO Find smartphone, namely the OPPO Find 7 was announced back in 2014, which means it’s been two years since the company updated the lineup. We have been hearing rumors about the OPPO Find 9 coming sometime in 2016 and now, a new leak reveals the basic render of the device along with its powerful specifications.

OPPO Find 9 has some big shoes to fill, considering it will be the top-end smartphone of a manufacturer who is doing quite well in 2016. So, in this rat race, OPPO can’t afford to compromise on the hardware inside the new flagship device. Well, according to the latest leak, it doesn’t look like OPPO has compromised in any area on the new device.

First of all, looking at the render, the OPPO Find 9 comes with a similar design as the previous generation OPPO Find 7. However, the major difference will be at the back, as the phone comes with dual camera sensors, which seems to have become a trend among smartphone makers in 2016. Further, on the back panel, you have the OPPO logo as well as a speaker grill.

Coming to the specs, the OPPO Find 9 flagship is said to come with a 5.5-inch dual edge AMOLED display with QHD resolution. Under the hood, like the Mi Note 2, the phone is expected to feature Snapdragon 821 chipset. As for the RAM, it is said that the phone will feature a whopping 8GB RAM module, taking it to the level of the rumored LeEco flagship. There will be 128GB of internal storage on board as well.

At the back, the phone will come with a 21MP rear camera sensor with OPPO’s smart stabilization tech that was showcased at MWC 2016. Although the render reveals dual cameras, there’s no mention of such a setup in the specs department. Up front, expect a 16MP sensor. Another tech is the Super VOOC fast charging along with a 4100mAh battery which is the perfect combination i.e. a large battery which fills up within an hour! Other rumored features include USB Type-C port (USB 2.0) and Android 5.1 based Color OS (we hope it comes with at least Android 6 at launch).

These are some powerful specs and with OPPO’s Super VOOC tech on board, there’s nothing to complain about the device. Most rumors said that the OPPO Find 9 will be announced in June this year, however, we still haven’t heard any event confirmation from the company.

OPPO seems to be focused on its R9 series flagships for the time being, but we all know that R9 isn’t the true flagship smartphone lineup of the company. OPPO’s Find series have always been the one to bring top-end hardware and innovative software to the public and we are expecting a lot of good things from the OPPO Find 9 phone. However, details about the device seem to be scarce at the moment and the company has showed no sign to confirm that the lineup will be updated this year.

However, that doesn’t stop the leaks and rumors about the Find 9, as the most recent rumors about the phone claim that the device will be announced in June this year. The news comes via some users from China who claim to have recieved info regarding the phone’s release period. However, we still don’t have a specific date. It looks like OPPO is keeping things tight with the Find 9.

Naturally, being a top-end flagship, we can expect powerful hardware inside the OPPO Find 9. Past rumors have revealed that the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 820 chipset under the hood with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. You should also find OPPO specific features such as Super VOOC fast charging and OPPO’s SmartSensor which comes inbuilt with image stabilization at the sensor level. But these are just some possibilities.

What’s also possible is a 4K display on the top-end version of the OPPO Find 9. Recently, we have seen rumors that OPPO and Lenovo are both planning to launch 4K display phones in 2016 and what better phone to debut this high-end feature than the Find 9.

Given the powerful hardware, don’t expect the phone to be cheap. Rumors say that the pricing could be as high as 3998 Yuan which is a lot (around $616), but still possible considering OPPO’s pricing history.

So, what would be the ideal specs for the Find 9 according to you?
