The Oppo Find X8 series launched in China last month, and it's confirmed to make a global debut on November 21. Ahead of this international launch, a new leak has shared the possible price of the X8 Pro for the EU.

Oppo introduced the Find X8 series in China in October, and right after this Chinese launch, the company confirmed the imminent global launch of the lineup. In case you missed the announcement, the new Dimensity 9400 flagship phones are officially stepping outside China on November 21.

Ahead of this global debut, the possible price of the Oppo Find X8 Pro for the EU has leaked. This leak comes from a known X tipster @Sudhanshu1414, and the leaker claims that the 16/512 GB variant will go for €1,199 (around $1,270), which is a bit steep when you consider the price of the same variant in China.

To look back, the same configuration of the Oppo Find X8 Pro costs CNY 5,999 in China, which converts to around $828 or €782. Of course, this price tag isn't surprising, given that taxes and VAT are in play. However, it's possible to import the same variant from TradingShenzhen for €782 or $949.91, which is a lot closer to the Chinese price tag.

Of course, there are a couple of drawbacks to importing a device from a third-party store rather than getting it from an official regional store. The warranty is one of those concerns. You will also get the phone with Chinese firmware, which won't offer the same experience as the global variant.

But then again, this EU pricing detail is coming from a leak, and it's possible that the official global price is a little more affordable than what the leak is suggesting. The good news is that the international launch of the Oppo Find X8 series is around the corner, so you don't need to wait long to find out.
