OPPO is reportedly working on its next-generation Find-series flagship smartphones which are expected to officially launch sometime in February or March next year. Ahead of the announcement from the brand, some details related to the devices have already leaked.

Now, in the latest development, @OnLeaks has shared renders of the upcoming OPPO Find X5 Pro smartphone. This is the same device that was expected to get launched as Find X4 Pro but the company is expected to skip the “4” number. The reason behind this is likely that the number four is considered unlucky in the Chinese culture.

The renders showcase a camera module similar to the one we have already seen on the Find X3 Pro. However, this time, the company seems to be adopting an irregular trapezoidal shape for the camera module instead of square. It still continues the design language with the phone’s back shell smoothly extending to the convex part of the camera module.

One major difference is the phone’s back panel which now has a sandblasted texture instead of the glass design that we saw on the previous generation model.

Coming to the front side, the device will have a punch-hole cutout in the top-left corner of the screen for housing the front-facing camera. The renders show minimal bezels surrounding the display, hinting at a higher screen-to-body ratio. The volume rocker keys are located on the left side frame while the power button is on the right frame.

As for the specifications, based on the leaks so far, the OPPO Find X5 Pro is expected to feature a 6.78-inch Full HD+ display with a screen resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels. It will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset.

In the camera department, there could be a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 13-megapixel telephoto or macro sensor. On the front side, it is likely to house a 32-megapixel snapper.

The phone is said to pack a 5,000mAh battery with fast charging support. Along with the OPPO Find X5 Pro, the company is also expected to launch the OPPO Find X5 which is said to come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC.

The OPPO Find X4 series, comprised of the Find X4 and Find X4 Pro, will be released in February and March after the Chinese spring festival, although the exact date has yet to be determined.

The info comes from notable industry insider Digital Chat Station who further revealed that the two models will be powered by the latest MediaTek’s Dimensity 9000 and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processors. While the former will likely be powering the vanilla Find X4, the latter will be featured on the Pro variant.

Both models have also been revealed to stick to ordinary telephoto solutions for the cameras, without the use of any periscope technology. However, the tipster also hinted at the existence of an OPPO Find X4 Ultra/Pro+ variant that may make up for the lacking.

Lastly, it was stated under the same Weibo post that the OPPO Find X4 series may both feature 80W fast charging. OnePlus will also likely be adopting the charging tech, although some realme phones will be upgraded to ultrafast 150W charging solutions.

Recently on December 16, MediaTek held a press event for its Dimensity 9000 5G mobile platform wherein it was announced that the next-generation Find X flagship series will be launched with the Dimensity 9000 5G mobile platform for the first time.

The processor was first announced back in November and uses TSMC’s 4nm process paired with the latest Arm v9 architecture combination, making it a highly energy-efficient yet performant offering.

As for the OPPO Find X4, alleged specifications of the device have already emerged well before launch and you can check them all out from here.

The post OPPO Find X4 to be released in February or March, Dimensity 9000 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 variants in the cards appeared first on Gizmochina.

During the OPPO INNO Day 2021, the company had revealed a number of new technologies it had been working on. This includes its first commercial foldable smartphone, the Find N, its Air Glass, and even its first NPU imaging chip as well. Now, a new patent has revealed that the company might be working on a new futuristic device as well that features an interesting design.

According to a LetsGoDigital report, the Chinese smartphone maker had filed a patent with the CNIPA (China National International Property Administration), which got published earlier this week and was also spotted in the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Office) database as well. This patent arrived with a description for the handset and dozens of design sketches as well. Looking at these images, we can see that the smartphone has quite a unique design and could possibly be an upcoming Find X4 series model.

It features dual displays, with a primary screen on the front and a smaller secondary panel on the rear. This smaller display features a squarish design and is situated next to the rear quad camera module, which also has a square shape. On the other hand, the front display is notable as well, since it offers a panel that is curved on all four edges. In other words, no bezel appears to be visible when looking at the device from the front.

Another notable aspect of the front display is the inclusion of an under display camera. Meaning, Oppo might debut the latest under screen camera technology with the Find X4 series. With the display also being rounded on all four sides, the edges will have quite a thin frame, which will also house the usual volume rockers and power button. Keep in mind that this is still just a patent and we have no confirmation that this actually is a Find X4 series model. So take this report with a pinch of salt.

The next generation of OPPO flagships smartphones hav been rumored to support the super-fast 125W charging technology unveiled earlier by the brand. However, more leaks have surfaced, suggesting that might not be the case.

Earlier today, the famous tipster, Digital Chat Station, posted on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging site) that the upcoming Find lineup by OPPO might feature 80W fast charging in contrast to its earlier predictions of the 125W feature.

It is too early to tell if the 80W fast charging feature will be available in all the upcoming OPPO Find series phones. Although, if we are to go by the current market trends, the feature will most likely be reserved for the flagship Find X4 Pro variant.

Earlier reports from Digital Chat Station have claimed the OPPO Find X4 Pro will come with a 6.7-inch display with a resolution of 3216 x 1440. It’ll feature a 120Hz refresh rate, much like the Find X3 and Find X3 Pro. In addition to this, Digital Chat Station has also tipped that one phone from the Find X4 line will come with a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary camera, a 13MP telephoto camera capable of up to 2x optical zoom, and a 3MP microscopic camera.

We also expect the upcoming OPPO flagship to feature the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 chipset, which we’re hoping to see revealed before the end of 2021. The Oppo Find X4 series of smartphones is expected to launch in early 2022, alongside the Samsung Galaxy S22 and Xiaomi 12 launches.

Fast charging functionality is a feature that has come to stay with smartphones and other tech devices. Some new smartphone models have been upping the stakes by providing some very impressive charging capabilities for new products. The Oppo Find X4 seems to fall into this category of smartphones as it is rumored to have a huge 125W charging capability.

The Oppo Find X4 is the successor of the Find X3 Pro which boasts a decent 65W wired charging. It is seen that if the rumors are credible, then the new Oppo flagship will almost double the wired charging potential of its predecessor, the Find X3 Pro. Putting the monster charging potential of the Find X4 in perspective, we see that even the Google Pixel 3 is up to 5 times slower than the Find X4 series. Recent performance tests had revealed that the Pixel 3 does not achieve its stated 30W charging speed but peaks at about 22W, which is less than a fifth of the rumored potential of the Find X4 series.

Tipster Digital Chat Station is credited with the rumor of the charging power of the Find X4. Little additional details were leaked by the tipster relating to the device, although it is speculated that it will be powered by the Snapdragon 898, which is a premium offering by Qualcomm, due for unveiling on November 30. There could still be several months before the release of the Find X4 series. Some industry watchers have hazarded that the unveiling date could be March 2022. We keep our fingers crossed as we await more details from Oppo on the new Find X4 series.
