The OPPO X5 series currently comprises three models, namely, the OPPO Find X5, Find X5 Pro, and the Find X5 Pro Dimensity Version. There’s also a fourth called Find X5 Lite but it doesn’t make the cut since it’s only a Reno7 5G rebrand. Even so, OPPO isn’t done with the lineup just yet as it’s now been tipped that a possible ‘ultra’ model is on the way too.

Today, prominent industry insider Digital Chat Station broke the news that OPPO’s ‘ultra’ flagship model will debut in the second half of the year. Equipped with the upcoming SM8475 processor, which is purportedly the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus, the device may be the very first ultra model from the company.

The chip will reportedly use TSMC’s 4nm process, which is expected to be superior to Samsung’s 4nm process used with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Currently, the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 is the only chip made using the TSMC process, so that makes the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus the second.

Aside from the change in the foundries, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus may also feature higher frequencies, as is usually the case with ‘Plus’ iterations of flagship Snapdragon chips.

In addition, the OPPO ultra flagship model may bring a return of the periscope lens that was previously featured on the Reno 10x Zoom. It isn’t clear if the ultra model will indeed be an expansion of the Find X5 series, but if it will be, then it may be called the OPPO Find X5 Ultra.
