After launching the OPPO Find 7 smartphone in 2014, OPPO has never released a new Find series phone. The company seems to be focused more on selling Oppo R, F and A series smartphones. The Chinese manufacturer had reportedly trademarked “OPPO Find X” moniker in the previous month. This suggests that the company could be prepping up to launch a new Find series flagship smartphone.

A recent market research has shown that the worldwide smartphone shipments have declined as the Chinese smartphone market has encountered slowdown in Q1 this year. Another report has revealed that Xiaomi has dethroned OPPO to gain the fourth largest smartphone brand in the world. In the recent past, OPPO has mainly concentrated on launching low-budget, mid-tier and upper mid-range phone. Since the company has recently trademarked the OPPO Find X name, it is being speculated that it could be working on a flagship phone.

The successor of the OPPO Find 7 was expected to debut as OPPO Find 9. The probable reason why the company may launch Find X instead of Find 9 is that it could be arriving with topnotch specs.

A leaked invitation of an upcoming OPPO event has surfaced been recently spotted on Weibo. It reveals that the event will be mainly centered on 5G connectivity and 3D structured light technology. If the OPPO Find X releases this year, it may not carry support for 5G, but is may feature 3D structured light for 3D facial recognition. In the recent past, OPPO has demonstrated its advanced technologies such as super-fast 15-minute flash charge and 5x lossless zoom. The Chinese company is has also recently filed patent for in-display fingerprint scanner. There is a possibility that the OPPO Find X may arrive with all these advanced features.

OPPO’s Find family has always been the ever loved lineup from the Chinese brand, but it has not been updated since the past couple of years. While it is safe to assume that the lineup is officially dead, rumors about a new Find series phone always seem to crop up every once in a while.

Two new renders have been leaked yesterday, showing what is believed to be Oppo’s Find 9. Previous leaks depicting the Oppo Find 9 also show thin accents to the top and bottom of the smartphone and extremely thin side bezels. The renders show uncertainty whether the display will be a curved panel or be housed with curved glass sides. The likelihood of this happening will be narrow, whilst an edge to edge screen is more probable to end up in the final product’s design.

Renders Showing The Find 9.

In comparison to previous leaks reported, these newly surfaced renders show a slim front-facing home button at the bottom of the Oppo Find 9. If these renders proved to be more accurate than previous leaks, we would have expect the button to operate with a conventional fingerprint scanner.

The issue that is design shows is the awkwardly positioned home button placement on a small narrow bezel. This could have potentially effect everyday usage negative, depending on the phone’s user.

Earlier Render Of The Find 9.

In terms of the internals, we would have expected the flagship device to be powered by a Snapdragon 835 paired with a minimum 6GB RAM, 64GB internal storage and accompanied with expandable external storage via MicroSD card. For photography and video, we would have seen the Oppo Find 9 housing a 21-megapixel rear shooter and a 16-megapixel front-facing selfie shooter. The battery could have been sized at 4,100mAh and with a lack of removability.

Keeping to previous rumors, the Oppo Find 9 may also have had a more affordable, lower powered twin, in the works with a Snapdragon 653 chipset paired with 4GB RAM.

Considering the last model, the Find 7, was released a good three years ago; and confirmation that the Find line has been discontinued, we would be taking a large pinch of salt if the Find 9 would ever resurface again.

Do you think the Find 9 would resemble closely to these renders in consideration the previous Find 7?

If you’re one of those still looking out for the OPPO Find 9, still hoping OPPO would one day just launch the much anticipated Find 9, then this will make you feel bad. Popular leaster @Kumamoto technology or Kjuma has revealed that OPPO has finally scrapped the Find series along with its N-series, replacing both with the mid-range R series and the A series. He also disclosed that OPPO will release a high-end flagship at the second half of the year.

The OPPO R9 which was launched in 2015 signalled a period of financial breakthrough for the Chinese company.The company’s marketing strategy, coupled with the fast charging technology which the R9 and R9 Plus possessed contributed to their success. This was soon replaced by the R9S and R9S Plus last year and they both continued the success story with amazing results. This may have prompted the company’s decision to halt its flagship Find-series.

We have had quite a number of leaks and rumours surrounding the Find 9 which has been on the radar since last year with rumors claiming it would be launched then. But that did not materialize and until this moment, OPPO is yet to release an official statement concerning the Find or even the N-series. The OPPO N-series on its own part only had the N1, N1 mini and N3 which was released in January 2015. Since then, nothing has been heard about the series. We can’t say for sure if this latest news is true or false until OPPO comes out with a statement on that. So, it is still possible the Find 9 does exist.

The post OPPO Find & N Series Scrapped Says Leakster, Focus Is On R & A series appeared first on Gizmochina.

It’s been four years since OPPO last updated the Find series after the release of the Find 7. All this while, rumours have been circulating concerning a next-gen flagship from OPPO which would likely be named Find 9. While latest news suggests that OPPO may have finally rested the Find series due to the success of the R-series, the OPPO Find 9 just won’t part ways with the rumour mills. Perhaps, that is an indication of how much fans desire for the Find 9 to come.

Yet again, another fresh set of OPPO Find 9 renders has appeared on Weibo from tipster @kjuma. The image on this latest render is different in design from what we had seen in the past. The new images shows the Find 9 featuring very narrow bezels on all four sides with a full-screen design. The device has a high screen to body ratio with top bezel almost absent, covered by the display to a large extent.

The renders did not contain that of the back view but it is likely the device comes with a rear fingerprint sensor since there is no physical button at the front. That is, of course, if it is not hidden under the glass (ultrasonic technology). The Find 9 on display looks like what has a metal body with only a slight curvature and a design consistent with previous Find-series phones except for the straight upper and lower edges.

We cannot really say if this is real but they look like a fan-generated render aimed to keep the Find 9 topic on the front burner. Before now, there were talks of the Find 9 featuring a Snapdragon 835 chip on one of its variant but presently, we are as confused as you are. We don’t know if the Find 9 is in the works and would release in the second half of this year or if the entire project has been discontinued. Only OPPO can answer that and they are too busy milking the R9 models to give us an answer.

The OPPO Find 7 was launched in 2014 with topnotch specs. Since 2015, the rumor mill is speculating the arrival of its successor model, the OPPO Find 9. However, leaked photos and information of the mysterious OPPO Find 9 has been surfacing since quite some time. A new render of the alleged smartphone has surfaced to reveal its design.

The OPPO Find 9 image that has appeared on Weibo appears more like a concept model. The device can be seen sporting a curved bottom which almost appears as if it is smiling. The OPPO logo can be seen sitting on its chin. The phone does not sport curved edges on the display which suggests that it may come with super-slim bezels, but it is not difficult make out from the leaked image.

The OPPO Find 7 was a flagship phone. Since its launch in March 2014, the Chinese firm has not released a flagship smartphone as it is has concentrated more on releasing feature-rich mid-range and upper mid-range phones. This strategy has helped the company to grab the second spot in the Chinese smartphone market.

In January, the rumor mill had predicted that the OPPO Find 9 would release this year in two CPU variants of Snapdragon 835 and Snapdragon 653. The SD 653 variant is speculated to come with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage whereas the SD 835 model is rumored to feature 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage.

Reports had also stated that the Oppo Find 9 would be coming with “borderless technology” based design created by OPPO. The new render does give us a hint that the phone sports ultra-thin bezels. As far as the details of the screen are concerned, the Find 9 may feature a 5.5-inch quad HD resolution supporting display. For photography, the mythical flagship is rumored to feature a 21-megapixel rear camera and a 16-megapixel selfie camera. It may be arriving with a 4,100mAh battery.

Rumors from the start of this year have claimed that the smartphone would be unveiled in the first of the year. However, the company has been reportedly delaying its arrival. Hence, there is a possibility that the phone could get unveiled in the second of this year.

OPPO Find 9, the rumored flagship smartphone that is expected to launch is now pegged to arrive in Snapdragon 835 and 653chipset variants. Previous rumors have hinted that it may sport a bezel-less screen.

The OPPO Find 9 has been in the rumors since April 2015, but the smartphone has not released yet. New rumors hint that a cheaper version of OPPO Find 9 will be fueled by Snapdragon 653 whereas its flagship model will be powered by Snapdragon 835 that will be carrying an expensive price tag.

Recent reports have revealed that the Qualcomm will be providing initial supply of the Snapdragon 835 SoC to Samsung for its Galaxy S8 smartphone that is expected to launch at the end of March. It is expected to be available for purchase in April. Hence, other high-end smartphones that are rumored to feature release before April would come powered by some other processor and Snapdragon 835 driven flagships may be available in April or later.

Hence, speculations indicate that the OPPO Find 9 running on Snapdragon 653 would be available for purchase earlier whereas its Snapdragon 835 sibling may be available purchase by April or later.

The OPPO Find 9 may come with RAM options such as 4 GB and 6 GB as well as with internal storage variants like 64 GB and 128 GB. As far as the appearance of the device is concerned, it bears a resemblance to Nubia Z11, a 2016 smartphone that came with high-end specs and ultra-thin bezels. It is learnt that the OPPO Find 9 would be sporting even thinner bezels.

The rumor mail has revealed in the past that the OPPO Find 9 would be featuring a quad HD 5.5-inch screen. It would be becoming with a rear camera of 21-megapixel and a front-facing shooter of 16-megapixel. It would be packed with a 4,100 mAh battery equipped with VOOC flash charging technology by OPPO.

As far as pricing is concerned, the OPPO Find 9 is pegged to be available for purchase with a starting cost of CNY 3,999 ($581). Since it appears to be very costly for the Chinese market that is filled with numerous high-end smartphones with low price, it is likely that the $581 belongs to the flagship version of OPPO Find 9.

The unending wait for the OPPO Find 9 lingers on and really some geeks are not making it any easier. Since the Find 7 dropped in 2014, fans have been in the wait for a true OPPO flagship to take over the baton from the Find 7, and that device was tipped to be the Find 9. While we are yet to see the Find 9, a video containing the renders of the device has popped up, courtesy of DBS Designing Team.

This isn’t the first concept design from DBS Design but obviously the concept they rendered in 2015 sure is in need of a make over, hence this latest design. The video shows the device with an edge-to-edge design and a fingerprint scanner embedded on the home screen up front. The design follows that of the Find 7, sporting a rectangular body, with a curvature at the top and bottom. The rendered Find 9 features a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with dual curved edge display. The design also includes a USB Type-C port, as well as a special Skyline notification light which was a standout feature on previous OPPO devices.

As earlier revealed, the Find 9 would ditch the Color OS for an all new FindOS based on Android OS and that was taken into consideration in the render. The specs are also shown to be some high-end stuffs like a Snapdragon 835 SoC, 6 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage and a 5000 mAh battery with VOOC fast charging. There is also a 16MP front camera and a 13MP sensor at the rear. This year may just be the year of the Find 9, as rumors say the device would drop within the first half of the year. You can check out the rendered video from down below.

The elusive OPPO Find 9 project seems to still be in the works according to a recent rumor making the round. Just when we thought OPPO wasn’t going to release the Find 9 flagship anytime soon, the device popped up again with a company executive credited to have hinted that the Find 9 would be released within the first half of 2017.

This isn’t the first time we are getting rumors about the OPPO Find 9 launch. Since the release of the OPPO Find 7 in 2014, fans have been expectant of another true flagship from OPPO but over two years down the line, nothing is yet to materialize. All we keep getting are rumors upon rumors, despite the fact that OPPO has been actively releasing smartphones since then. But then no true flagship device has come out from the Chinese company since the Find 7.

The news of the Find 9 launching in the first half of 2017 was said to have been disclosed by a provincial executive at a recent OPPO shopping guide forum. Details about the location of the forum or the name of the company executive weren’t disclosed.

The OPPO Find 9 is rumored to come with a 5.5-inch dual edge AMOLED display with QHD resolution. The device is also rumored to sport a Snapdragon 835 chip as well as a whopping 8GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage. There may be two versions, with one packing a Snapdragon 653 chip and 4GB + 64GB storage. There are also rumors that the device will not run the Color OS but rather, will come preloaded with a new AI system called Find OS which would be tailored to users’ needs. We’ll keep our fingers crossed, hoping this year will indeed be the year of the Find 9.

The statement of the Find 9 not launching in March has also been confirmed by an internal staff at Qualcomm, @Anunnaki, on weibo. He said in his post that the news about the OPPO Find 9 launching in March are rumors. Since the statement is coming from a Qualcomm staff who probably has information about new phones that will launch with the company’s processors, we have no reason to doubt him.

@Anunnaki also hints that we might not even be getting the Find 9 as a follow up post on the micro-blogging platform reads as √9 = 3 which can be translated to mean that the Find 9 has been replaced by the OnePlus 3(T).

Yesterday a fresh rumor concerning the long awaited OPPO Find 9 flagship surfaced online hinting at a launch in March next year. The rumor also hints that the Find 9 would come equipped with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 835 chipset.

Before now industry analyst Pan Jiutang had hinted that the elusive OPPO Find 9 would find its way into the public domain sometime in the summer of next year. The analyst obviously did not keep mute in the face of a new rumored launch date, instead he took to Weibo to sort of reiterate his earlier stance that the device would drop in the summer of next year by downplaying any chance of the device dropping in the first half of next year.

In the end, they are all rumors and all theses rumors should have been put to rest if OPPO had released the Find 9 flagship before now. But due to the huge success of the R series, the Chinese company perhaps did not see the need of releasing a flagship device. The device is however expected to come with a lot of innovative technologies such as a mammoth 8GB RAM, 4K screen and other unique features.

The post Analyst Plays Down Talks of OPPO Find 9 Dropping in March Next Year appeared first on Gizmochina.

The elusive OPPO Find 9 is in the news again, this time the device is rumored as coming within the first quarter of next year, precisely in March. Not just that, the device is also rumored to feature Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 835 chip making it a true flagship device.

The OPPO Find 9 has been in the rumor mill even long before the OPPO R9 and R9 Plus surfaced. The device is long expected considering that it is two clear years since OPPO released the OPPO Find 7 which is its most recent smartphone in the elite Find series. The latest disclosure was made by a Weibo user but we cannot authenticate its veracity. But the rumor somehow aligns with words of known analyst Pan Juitang that the Find 9 would be released in the summer of next year.

If eventually the device drops next year, most of its rumored specs would have become outdated such as the Android 5.1 Lollipop it is rumored as running. Certainly that would have been upgraded to Android Marshmallow if not the latest Android N. The device is also rumored to come  with a 5.5-inch dual edge AMOLED display with QHD resolution. The device was before now rumored to feature Snapdragon 821 chipset as against the Snapdragon 835 listed on this latest rumor. The phone is also rumored to feature a whopping 8GB RAM as well as 128GB of internal storage on board.

Further, the OPPO Find 9 is said to pack a 21MP rear camera sensor with OPPO’s smart stabilization tech that was showcased at MWC 2016.  Up front, there is a 16MP sensor. The device also pack a 4,100mAh battery with Super VOOC fast charging and lots more.

The post OPPO Find 9 Rumored As Coming in March Next Year with Snapdragon 835 appeared first on Gizmochina.

While we are still unsure whether the OPPO Find 9 is in the works, the latest news from China reveals that the OPPO Find 9 flagship could come with the brand new Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. This is the latest generation of Gorilla Glass display, which also makes it the best. The glass is strengthened to survive higher drops, making sure that your phone’s display stays intact in your day to day usage.

OPPO’s Find series have always been the top-end lineup from the company, and if the Find 9 is real and in the works, we couldn’t expect anything less than the Gorilla Glass 5 on top of its display. However, apart from this detail, the source did not reveal any other information about the device. News about the Find 9 is not readily available, and it’s been nearly 2.5 years since the company made a significant update in the lineup (Find 7 was released in FEB ’14 ). So, it remains to be seen whether OPPO scraped the lineup in favor of its relatively new OPPO R series flagships.

But we have to consider the fact that the specs of the OPPO R9 and even the R9 Plus would soon be outdated by the end of the second half of 2016. The past few months have been fruitful for OPPO, but if it has to continue the momentum, it would probably need better and powerful flagships in the coming months and what better way to make a mark in H2 2016 than with the OPPO Find 9 flagship!

The post Rumor: OPPO Find 9 To Feature Gorilla Glass 5 Protection appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

RELATED: OPPO Rumored To Launch 3 New Devices In June, Could We Meet Find 9?

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.

The post OPPO Find 9 Specs Leaked: SD821, 8GB RAM & a Large Battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

Recently, we came across new information about OPPO’s Find 9 series. The phone was spotted on the benchmarking app, AnTuTu revealing some key information about the device. However, like always, AnTuTu only revealed some hardware specs of the device. Now, more information about the phone’s battery have been revealed.

It is said that the OPPO Find 9 will come with the company’s recently announced Super VOOC fast charging technology. So, a simple 15 minutes charging will get your phone to 100% which is highly impressive. But when OPPO demoed this feature at MWC, it was with a 2500mAh battery. Although the charging time will be so less, we don’t think customers would be happy with a small 2500mAh capacity battery on board a flagship model. So, it would be interesting to see how big of a battery OPPO fits inside its new device.

A couple of renders of the Find 9 were also revealed, which shows an unusually long physical home button just below the display. Considering its length, we can expect this to come with a fingerprint sensor.

As for the specs, the leak earlier today revealed a low-end version of the OPPO Find 9. This particular model, namely X9007, comes with Snapdragon 820 quad-core chipset with 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, 1080p display of unknown size, 16MP rear camera and a 4MP front camera. Considering these specs, we can expect a high-end version as well, possibility with 2K display and 4GB / 6GB RAM options.

Earlier rumours state that the phone will be released sometime in June this year, which is just a few weeks away. So, if true, we can expect more details about the phone pretty soon.

The post OPPO Find 9 Said To Charge To 100% in just 15 Minutes, More Renders Leaked appeared first on Gizmochina.

We have been patiently waiting for the new generation model in the OPPO’s popular Find series, however till now, we haven’t managed to get any concrete information about the device. Now, a new model called OPPO x9007 has just been spotted on the benchmarking app, AnTuTu, revealing some specs details about the device. Considering the model number, timing and the specs of the device, this looks like a lower-end version of the upcoming OPPO Find 9 series.

According to this listing, the OPPO X9007 model, said to be the upgraded version of the OPPO Find 9 — most likely OPPO Find 9, will come with Snapdragon 820 quad-core chipset inside. OPPO’s Find series are known to feature top-end specs, so Snapdragon 820 isn’t a surprise. Further,r the phone will come with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There’s no information about MicroSD expansion. There would be a 1080p display of unknown size as well. At the back, the phone features a 16MP camera while up front, you get a 4MP shooter. Finally, for software, the Find 9 model comes with Android 6.0.

Taking a look at these specs, this could be one of the variants of the Find 9 series. However, we can expect much powerful variants as well, which should upgrade a lot of things like RAM to 4GB or even 6GB, resolution to 2K and storage to 64GB or 128GB. This would make the new Find 9 model a worthy successor to the previous generation models.

As for the other specs, earlier rumours claim that the Find 9 will come with OPPO’s Super VOOC fast charging tech that charges a 2500mAh battery in just 15 minutes. Then there’s the company’s self developed smart sensor that brings image stabilisation at the sensor level. There are even rumours about a 4K display, but we can’t be sure of that. As for the pricing, it could go as high as $616. The release is rumoured to be in June, but there’s no confirmation yet.

Anyway, let’s wait for the top-end variants of the new OPPO Find series to crop up online. Only then we would be able to paint a clear picture of what the company has in store for us in the second half of this year.

The post OPPO Find 9 Low Version Spotted On AnTuTu With Snapdragon 820 and 16MP Camera appeared first on Gizmochina.

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?

The post OPPO Find 9 Could Release In June With 4K Display appeared first on Gizmochina.

For the past few months, we have been patiently waiting for the next Find series smartphone, namely the OPPO Find 9. However, the company hasn’t revealed anything regarding the Find series, and instead, has released new models in its OPPO R series lineup, namely the R9 and the R9 Plus.

While we thought that the company might have scrapped the lineup, a new OPPO device, namely OPPO X9009 model has just passed Taiwanese Certification agency (NCC). Given that the Find 7 had the model number X9006, it’s highly likely that the X9009 is the OPPO Find 9.

The new OPPO R9 and R9 Plus seems to have skipped OPPO’s latest tech like chip scale image stabilization. Even the hardware is not comparable to other high-end flagships like Galaxy S7 with Snapdragon 820. So, it’s likely that the Find 9 is going to be the true flagship smartphone for the company.

According to rumors, the phone is expected to come with a bezel-less design, a 5.9-inch 2K display, Snapdragon 820, Wireless Charging and 4GB/ 6GB RAM. There’s still time for the phone’s release, as it is said that the flagship will meet us in June.

However, it’s good to see that there’s still hope for Find series lovers. In case you remember, the OPPO Find 9 model was also certified in Indonesia, and China a couple of months back.

Like always, the company is yet to confirm the presence of the device but expect more details soon.

So, what do you think? Will OPPO unveil the Find 9 flagship later this year?

Although OPPO has released a few handsets recently, the company is yet to update the famous OPPO Find series, which has garnered attention from users across the globe. We all are eagerly waiting for the release of the OPPO Find 9 flagship, now for more than a year, but as of now, officially, there doesn’t seem to be any clues as to its release.

However, earlier today, a new device from OPPO was spotted on the Indonesian Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, which is similar to China’s TENAA. The device had the model number OPPO X9009 and it is being said that it could be OPPO’s long awaited Find 9 flagship smartphone. The reason for this possibility is because the Find 7 came with the model number OPPO X9006, so a similar model could only mean a new device in the same series.

Since these devices have already been certified in Indonesia, its possible that the company will officially announce them soon. As for the specs, the OPPO Find 9 is said to come with a 5.9-inch 2K display and the powerful Snapdragon 820 processor under the hood. Another possible feature rumored to come on the device is a hidden fingerprint sensor. While we don’t have any more details about the device, we hope to update you guys with new information pretty soon.

The image above could be how the front of the OPPO Find 9 will end up looking as per the earlier leak. But let’s wait for more concrete details before getting too excited.

Its about time we see a new OPPO flagship, but as of now, we haven’t heard much about the OPPO Find 9. However, earlier today, in the marketing documents of China Mobile, we came across a paragraph which mentioned OPPO’s latest flagship, the Find 9.

The document quoted OPPO Find 9 among other smartphones saying it already supported Cat. 9 LTE networks. The same document revealed more details about the upcoming chipsets which will support the more advanced Cat. 10 LTE networks. 

Now, in this market, Snapdragon 810 is the only known chipset to support Cat. 9 LTE networks, which means that the new OPPO device could come with this chip under the hood. Also, given the fact that the phone is mentioned here, it looks like the company is already past the testing phase on the carrier. So, we should see the device pretty soon.

Unfortunately, OPPO has not revealed any details about its upcoming flagship. So, for official details, we may have to wait for a few weeks more.

We know OPPO has been busy working on its successor to the Find 7, but as of late, we have heard very little about the phone. Now, the OPPO Find has finally leaked again in pictures, showing off its unique design.

Although the images are not very clear, we managed to spot a few features of the upcoming device. For example, the first distinctive characteristic of the device is its dual camera setup at the back. It started with HTC and nowadays many companies like Huawei have started using such a setup. So, its not surprising to see such a dual camera unit at the back of Find 9 too.

Another interesting aspect revealed by this picture is the round button at the back. We feel this is the power button just like the one one LG G3. However, given its rather large size, we feel that it could be a fingerprint sensor too.

The front of the OPPO Find 9 is clean, but bezels looks very thin. As a result, the display covers the entire sides of the device. However, you do see top and bottom bezels which are quite thick. The basic design seems to be a continuation of OPPO Find 7.

Although this leak doesn’t reveal the tech specs, earlier leaks have said that the OPPO Find 9 will feature the powerful Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor with 4GB RAM and a 5.5-inch 2K display.

The company is yet to announce an official launch date for the OPPO Find 9, but we hope to see more information soon.

So, what do you think about the Find 9?

OPPO has been making the headlines for the past few days, thanks to the number of rumors and leaks that we have seen recently. But they have been mostly about the company’s upper mid-range devices and not flagships. However, a new image recently cropped up online claiming to the upcoming OPPO Find 9, which could be the company’s next flagship device.

The source reveals a phone with a large display,with the ear piece and the sensors too close to the top edge. So, the display could be covering a large portion of the device, making it nearly borderless.

The phone features a similar design profile as the Find 7, however its more flat and the display also covers a larger proportion of the overall body.

Unfortunately, there is nothing in the picture that says its the upcoming OPPO Find 9. Also, as of now, no technical specifications of the device have been leaked till now. So, as always, we will advise you to take the news with a pinch of salt.

We’ll keep you updated if any more specs details or images turn up online, but until then, its safe to assume that this news is probably fake.
