The Oppo Find X8 series is anticipated to launch soon in China, with various details about the company’s next-generation flagship smartphones emerging over recent weeks. A reliable tipster has leaked information regarding the potential launch date of the Oppo Find X8 series, alongside a glimpse of the smartphone’s display, which is compared to the recently unveiled iPhone 16 Pro featuring remarkably slim display bezels.
Leaked Launch Date for Oppo Find X8 Series
According to a Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese), the Oppo Find X8 series is expected to be launched in China on October 21 “at the earliest.” This release is likely to occur shortly after the rollout of Android 15-based ColorOS 15, which is projected to be available on October 17.
The reliable tipster, known for accurate leaks concerning unannounced devices, has also indicated that the Oppo Find X8 series will be accompanied by the Oppo Pad 3 Pro and Enco X3. Previous reports suggest that Oppo will introduce new accessories featuring magnets, including a recently leaked magnetic wireless charging power bank.
Teased Display Bezel of Oppo Find X8
If the leak holds true, the launch of the Oppo Find X8 in China is imminent. Oppo’s Chief Product Officer Pete Lau recently shared an image on X (formerly known as Twitter) that showcases two smartphones placed side by side. The icons at the base of the smartphone on the left identify it as an iPhone, while the one on the right denotes that it is an Oppo device operating on ColorOS.

Although Lau’s post did not explicitly mention the name of the Android smartphone, tipster Ice Universe responded, confirming that the two devices are the recently launched iPhone 16 Pro and the forthcoming Oppo Find X8. The user further asserts that the Oppo phone will feature thinner bezels compared to Apple’s flagship offering.
