In recent years, OPPO has been accelerating its pace of new product releases, striving to maintain a leading position in the market. It's worth noting that in the past, OPPO's update cycle for phones was indeed very slow.
For instance, after OPPO announces a new technology, competitors have already adopted and mass-produced it, while OPPO is still in the polishing process, leaving users waiting for a long time.
However, in recent years, things have improved significantly. Not only has OPPO accelerated in terms of new devices, but even system updates are speeding up to enhance user experience.
As time goes on, OPPO is once again picking up the pace, with the upcoming Find X8 and Reno12 series set to bring about significant changes.
According to the leaker, OPPO's flagship new Find X8 series may be released earlier in the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2024, while the Reno12 series will also debut later this month.
The launch of these two series will undoubtedly bring new vitality and changes to the market. For users who like OPPO phones, it's time to patiently wait.
The OPPO Find X8 is highly anticipated by users who prefer smaller screen sizes, as the leaker mentioned that the new phone will have a very small screen size.
It is even suggested that the outer screen of the OPPO Find X8 will be larger than that of the Find N3 by a margin, considering the 6.31-inch size of the outer screen, the author speculates it will likely be around 6.5 inches.
Small-screen smartphones are indeed challenging to make nowadays. In recent years, Xiaomi smartphones have been relatively successful, especially their digital series which have performed well.
On the other hand, OPPO doesn't have much experience in making small-screen models. There have been leaks suggesting that they might include a periscope telephoto lens, so the size naturally won't be particularly small.
However, if it features a 6.5-inch+ flat screen design, it should attract many users. Besides the screen and camera, the peripheral parameters are also competitive.
It is expected that the OPPO Find X8 will be equipped with the Dimensity 9400 processor, positioning it to compete with the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen4 devices.
The Dimensity 9400 processor boasts strong performance with an ARM CPU architecture codenamed "BlackHawk," leading to a significant increase in IPC.
Thanks to the BlackHawk Cortex-X5 super core, the Dimensity 9400 rivals PC-level performance, coupled with support for LPDDR5T, delivering impressive performance.
However, there are also reports suggesting it may be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor, featuring a self-developed CPU architecture and 3nm process technology, raising high expectations.
Given that OPPO's flagship new Find X8 series has adjusted its pace, it may be launched earlier in early Q4, possibly around mid-October with the first models featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen4. It remains to be seen if MediaTek will keep up with this pace.
Apart from the OPPO Find X8, the release time of the OPPO Reno12 series has also become clear, which is set to meet everyone at the end of this month.
Previously, leaks in the smartphone market have revealed the peripheral parameters of the new devices, which will be available in two versions: the OPPO Reno12 and the OPPO Reno12 Pro.
In terms of core specifications, the standard version of the OPPO Reno12 will debut with the Dimensity 8250 processor, while the OPPO Reno12 Pro will feature the more powerful Dimensity 9200 Star Speed Edition processor.
Both processors perform well without any issues, handling mainstream games without any pressure, although they may not match the ultimate performance of the Dimensity 8300 and Dimensity 9300.
The peripheral parameters vary as well. Taking the Pro version as an example, it features a 6.7-inch 1.5K resolution OLED quad-curved screen with support for a 120Hz high refresh rate.
In terms of imaging, it includes a rear setup of a 50-megapixel 1/1.56-inch Sony IMX890 main camera + a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 dual portrait lens + an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle triple camera combination. The front camera is also a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 sensor.
For battery life, it houses a 5000mAh battery with support for 80W wired fast charging. In terms of details, it features a plastic mid-frame, X-axis motor, and short-focus optical fingerprint sensor.
It can be said that upgrades have been made in aspects such as memory, cameras, and battery, which may be the key to sparking users' desire to choose this device.
The OPPO Find X8 series and Reno12 series are both powerful with standout selling points. Perhaps they are worth considering for those who are interested in waiting for new releases.
So, the question is, would you consider waiting for new releases? Feel free to discuss in your replies.
