Oppo has announced its plans to incorporate the newly unveiled Dimensity 9400 chipset into its flagship devices, confirming past rumors.
The company revealed that its upcoming Find X8 series will be powered by this MediaTek platform, with the official launch scheduled for October 24 in China. This announcement came on the heels of MediaTek’s official introduction of the Dimensity 9400 processor.
Alongside the hardware upgrade, Oppo is set to introduce ColorOS 15, its latest user interface based on Android 15. This new software iteration promises to enhance the user experience significantly. Oppo has described ColorOS 15 as featuring an innovative three-layer interface design, aimed at boosting efficiency, fluidity, and overall performance.
During the announcement, Oppo showcased the capabilities of ColorOS 15 with an on-stage demonstration. The presentation highlighted the interface’s ultra-smooth and rapid responsiveness. It’s worth noting that ColorOS 15 will not be limited to the Find X8 series. It will also be featured on the Chinese versions of the OnePlus 13 smartphone.
The Find X8 launch will include the vanilla X8 and the X8 Pro, but not the X8 Ultra. The top dog flagship is rumored to join the lineup in the first quarter of 2025, meaning somewhere between January and March.
During that time, Oppo is also expected to unveil its next foldable phone, the Find N5. This is a successor to the Find N3 since the number 4 is considered bad luck in China. Hence, there is no Find N4 at all. It may be rebranded as the OnePlus Open 2.
The Find X8 Ultra’s camera is currently in testing with the Find N5 too, but it will likely not make it to the foldable, as per the report. This means that the Find N5 is expected to stick with its traditional triple camera setup while the Find X8 Ultra will go with its usual quad camera island.
