OPPO Find X8 and X8 Ultra tipped to debut as Android flagships with next-gen top-end silicon

The OPPO Find X7 and X7 Ultra have only been available to consumers in their native Chinese market (and to re-sellers in Europe) since mid-January 2024. The latter is only just shaping up to via for the year's smartphone camera crown against worthy opponents such as the Xiaomi 14 Ultra - yet must now also contend with being overshadowed by very premature talk of a next-gen replacement.

Weibo-based leaker Smart Pikachu asserts that one will have the Dimensity 9400 from MediaTek, while the other will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 from Qualcomm.

Those details might not be all that much of a surprise, as the Find X7 currently leads official AnTuTu rankings with the "9400's" direct forebear, whereas the top-end Ultra variant is a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 device. Then again, the new leak might confirm that their successors will be OPPO's first 3 nanometer (3nm) flagships.

Smart Pikachu also hints that the "Find X8 Ultra" will upgrade to an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, whereas the vanilla "X8" will stick with the optical scanner of both 2024 flagships. One or both devices are also vaguely backed to bring even better camera hardware with them to 2025.
