After a two-year hiatus, Oppo is making a big comeback to the international flagship market with its Find X8 series, set to launch on November 21 in Bali, Indonesia. This release marks a strategic return for Oppo, which has been focusing on other markets recently. With the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro, the company seems ready to shake things up with some impressive upgrades.
Under the hood, both the Find X8 and X8 Pro will be powered by MediaTek’s new Dimensity 9400 chipset, marking a shift away from the Qualcomm processors that Oppo used in previous models. This move could signal a fresh approach to performance and efficiency, making Oppo’s latest flagships ones to watch. Battery life, too, is getting a serious boost: the Find X8 will come with a 5,630mAh battery, while the Pro model steps up with a 5,910mAh powerhouse. Thanks to silicon-carbon technology, these batteries should offer improved density and longevity, a nice change as we’ve seen the 5,000mAh benchmark as a sort of ceiling for some time.
Oppo is also leaning into a flatter design aesthetic with the Find X8 series, drawing inspiration from competitors like Google’s Pixel lineup and Apple’s iPhone series. The Find X8 Pro will go all-in on photography with dual 50MP zoom lenses, promising quality that could compete with the best camera phones out there. And on the software side, we’ll see ColorOS 15, Oppo’s Android 15-based interface, launching globally with these devices.
These phones will be available in key markets like the UK and India, although there’s no mention of a US release. Still, this is an exciting development for fans of flagship competition. Unlike some brands that push a new model every year with minimal upgrades, Oppo’s approach shows real ambition to bring meaningful improvements with each release.
With Oppo set to reveal the full details on specs, prices, and regional availability at the Bali event, all eyes are on the Find X8 series to see if it can make a big splash in the premium smartphone market.
