Oppo Find X8 Live Photo Leaked Online; Could Benefit From Redesigned Rear Camera Module and Flat Sides

Oppo’s Find X8 design has leaked for the first time, suggesting an all-new design for the standard Find X model. It’s unclear whether this new design will also be applied to the ultra-premium Find X8 Ultra, but it’s nice to see a fresh approach since the Find X7 Ultra’s design was based on the revamped Find X6. The leaked image shows a design direction very close to that of the iPhone 15 Pro, quite different from the unique design we experienced during our Find X7 Ultra review.

The image comes from Chinese microblogging platform Weibo, where a user posted what appears to be a spy photo of the alleged Oppo Find X8. Fortunately, the photo is not blurry and clearly shows the top half of the phone.

It seems that the phone is getting a completely redesigned design, which has nothing to do with its predecessors. The upcoming Oppo Find X8 could have switched to a flat-sided design with beveled edges that look a lot like those of an iPhone 15 Pro. The sides appear to be made of metal (it could also be titanium) and, in addition to the necessary cavities for the microphones and the speaker at the top, there is also enough space for a three-stage alert slider on the right side.

On the back, the LED is placed outside the camera module as on previous models. The camera module does not appear as raised as on the Find X7 Ultra, but much flatter. In the rounded square-shaped camera module (which is a departure from the large biscuit-like module), we can spot three rear-facing cameras. It is unclear whether the back panel is covered in vegan leather or basic glass.

Another observation that we can say with certainty (but which is not visible) is that Oppo has finally abandoned the idea of ​​using 3D curved displays. The Find X8, given that it seems to have flat sides, will most likely end up having a flat display similar to Google’s new and recent Pixel 9 smartphones.

From what we know about the Find X8 series thanks to an old report, the phones could be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC. Both phones could feature 1.5K+ resolution displays. An earlier leak also suggests that the Find X8 could have a 6.7-inch flat display, while the ultra-premium model could offer a 6.8-inch micro-curved display. Another leaked detail is that both smartphones could pack 6,000mAh batteries. Oppo is expected to unveil its Find X8 smartphones in October this year.
