The Oppo Find X8 series is expected to launch in the coming months by the Chinese smartphone maker, with a tipster claiming that the company’s upcoming smartphones will offer some features available on Apple’s latest iPhone 16 lineup as well as accessories offering similar functionality. The successor to the Oppo Find X7 is said to feature a flat OLED display and arrive with a flagship-grade chipset from MediaTek that is expected to be unveiled by the chipmaker in October.
Oppo Find X8 Series Features (Leaked)
A tipster named Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) leaked details about the rumored Oppo Find X8 series in a after on Weibo, the Chinese microblogging website. The handset will reportedly come with magnetic wireless charging support, allowing the charger or accessories — such as those in the latest leak — to remain securely connected.
While the leaker didn’t specify whether the new magnetic wireless charging support is Qi2-compatible or a proprietary solution, Oppo is expected to bring more magnet-based functionality with new accessories including a wireless power bank. Apple’s MagSafe charging technology will also allow users to connect accessories like a slim wallet, mobile stand or power bank.

Oppo won’t be the first Android smartphone maker to introduce support for magnetic wireless charging — the Infinix Note 40 Pro (Review) launched earlier this year featured a proprietary MagCharge system for wirelessly powering the handset. The tipster claims that Xiaomi has also developed a 30W “ultra-thin” magnetic wireless charger.
According to Digital Chat Station, all models in the Oppo Find X8 series will also come equipped with a camera cutout similar to the Dynamic Island found on Apple’s recent iPhone models. It’s currently unclear whether the larger camera module will be as large as the one on Apple’s handsets, or if it will offer additional software functionality.
Last month, it was reported that another feature rumoured to be coming to the Oppo Find X8 series is a dedicated button for triggering quick actions like launching the camera app and capturing images. This could be a cloned version of the Camera Control button that came with the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models launched by Apple earlier this month.
