Oppo Find X8 Ultra: Thinner Design, Bigger Battery, and More Power
Oppo is gearing up to release its next flagship smartphone, the Find X8 Ultra, and early reports suggest it will be a significant upgrade over its predecessor.

Slimmer Design, Bigger Battery
One of the most notable changes in the Find X8 Ultra is its design. Despite packing more power, the device is expected to be thinner than the Find X7 Ultra, which measured 9.5mm in thickness. This reduction in size extends to the camera bump as well, promising a sleeker overall appearance.
Surprisingly, the slimmer design doesn't come at the cost of battery life. In fact, the Find X8 Ultra is rumored to house a larger battery than its predecessor:
- Find X7 Ultra: 5,000 mAh battery
- Find X8 Ultra: Potentially up to 6,000 mAh battery
This increase in battery capacity, combined with a thinner profile, suggests Oppo may be utilizing advanced battery technology, possibly similar to the Glacier Battery technology mentioned for future OnePlus devices.
Other Expected Features
While detailed specifications are still under wraps, several other features have been hinted at:
- IP68 water and dust resistance rating
- Glass back (potentially with a matte finish)
- Quad-curved OLED display with 2K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate
- Quad camera setup, likely including two periscope lenses
- Ultrasonic on-screen fingerprint sensor
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor
