OPPO has let the model numbers for some of its next-gen smartphones slip in their latest leak, according to a new report. They include the mid-range K13 as well as the flagship Find X8 and X8 Pro. The latter is now also slated to have a variant with cutting-edge satellite connectivity, despite the fact that it is not even believed to be the most premium handset of its line-up.

The Find X8 Pro is currently thought to launch as one of the new OPPO flagship Android smartphones with a new Quick Button, the OEM's answer to Apple's Camera Control for the iPhone 16 series. Now, it is also tipped to have a Satellite Edition, even though it may be powered by the same MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC as the vanilla X8 rather than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 of the top-end X8 Ultra variant.

This new tip comes courtesy of the typically reliable leaker Digital Chat Station, who claims to have found the OPPO PKB110, PKC110 and PKC130 on a Chinese 5G smartphone database. They might debut as the Find X8, X8 Pro and X8 Pro Satellite Edition respectively.

However, should that be the case, it seems the PKB110 has passed 3C testing with 80W charging, which would be a surprising downgrade compared to the X7.

It would be particularly disappointing given that the X8 is also rumored to launch with a greatly enlarged battery compared to its predecessor - as is the "K13", which has also allegedly popped up alongside its flagship counterparts in this new leak.

Listed as the PKS110, it is now linked to a relatively whopping 6,220mAh single-cell battery - which is its rated capacity, according to Digital Chat Station, who hints that it might be rated for 6,500mAh on its launch.
