Previously, OPPO unveiled two models, the OPPO Find X7 and OPPO Find X7 Ultra. Now, as time progresses, there's fresh news about this series of devices.
Today, the head of OPPO Find series products announced: "Let's embark together on the new era of 5.5G mobile networks!"
Accompanying the announcement was a photo showing a screenshot of the phone interface, with the 5G - A symbol visible in the status bar.
OPPO's official announcement today also states that the entire OPPO Find X7 series will be the first to support 5.5G mobile communication.
Meanwhile, blogger @DigitalChatterHub mentioned in their latest update, "The Find X7 series is set to debut industry-first support for 5G-A, also known as the much-discussed 5.5G. OTA firmware is already prepared. In theory, 5G-A can achieve a 10x improvement in connection speed and latency, with downlink speeds in the tens of gigabits and uplink speeds in the gigabits. Currently, most Snapdragon 8G3/Dimensity 9300 new devices also primarily support this."
So, the OPPO Find X7 series will introduce 5.5G support, which raises curiosity about the enhancements it will bring to users' actual usage experiences. Additionally, many users are eager to know when the OPPO Find X7 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition will be available. The product manager of the OPPO Find series hinted during an interaction with netizens, saying, "In just a few days."
It's been reported that OPPO officially announced earlier that the satellite communication version would be launched in March. Now, as we're nearing the end of March 2024, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra satellite communication edition has surfaced in the China Telecom terminal product database.
The information page indicates a retail price of 7999 CNY, with the product slated for release on April 2, 2024. However, specific pricing and release timing should be confirmed with the actual launch, as discrepancies often exist between the information displayed in the product database and the final details.
The specs for the OPPO Find X7 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition are also listed.
In terms of core specs, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen3 processor, a built-in 5000mAh battery, and runs on the Android 14 operating system.
The screen size is 6.82 inches with a resolution of 1440 x 3216. The dimensions of the device are 164.3mm in length, 76.2mm in width, 9.5mm in thickness, and it weighs 221g.
Additionally, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition has currently passed the 3C certification.
The certification information indicates that the model of this device is PHY120, the product name is Satellite Mobile Terminal (5G), and it supports up to 100W fast charging.
According to previous information from OPPO, the Find X7 Ultra is the company's first satellite communication smartphone. Utilizing satellite antenna direction control technology, it enables both handset and hands-free dual-mode communication for satellite communication for the first time.
Users don't need any special angle or posture; just like answering a regular call, they can stably receive satellite calls by holding the phone close to their ears, which better suits user habits.
In extreme noisy environments like heavy winds or waves, typical hands-free communication akin to walkie-talkies might result in unclear voices. However, with satellite phone mode, the sound is clearer, potentially offering higher communication efficiency in emergencies.
Apart from satellite communication, the configuration of the OPPO Find X7 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition is expected to be consistent with the regular version. Considering the available information, its official release seems to be approaching. Interested users can stay tuned for updates.
