The Oppo Find X8’s design has leaked for the first time, suggesting that it’s a brand new design for the standard Find X model. It’s unclear whether this new design will also make it onto the ultra-premium Find X8 Ultra, but it’s nice to see a fresh new take considering the Find X7 Ultra’s design was based on the Find X6’s refreshed design. The leaked image shows a design direction that appears very similar to that of the iPhone 15 Pro, but it’s a far cry from the unique design we saw when we reviewed the Find X7 Ultra.
The image comes from the Chinese microblogging platform Weibo, where a user placed what appears to be a spy photo of the alleged Oppo Find X8. Thankfully, the photo isn’t blurry and the top half of the phone is clearly visible.

The phone appears to be getting an all-new design, one that looks nothing like its predecessors. The upcoming Oppo Find X8 might switch to a flat design with chamfered edges that looks very similar to that of an iPhone 15 Pro. The sides seem to be made of metal (could also be titanium) and apart from the necessary cavities for the microphones and speaker at the top, there’s also enough space for a three-stage alert slider on the right.
On the back, we can see the LED, which, like on previous models, is placed outside the camera module. The camera module doesn’t appear to be as raised as on the Find X7 Ultra, but it does appear to be a lot flatter. Inside the rounded, square camera module (which is a departure from the large, cookie-like module) we can spot three rear-facing cameras. It’s not clear whether the rear panel is covered in vegan leather or regular glass.
Another observation we can say for sure (but isn’t visible) is that Oppo has finally moved past the idea of using 3D curved displays. The Find X8, given that it seems to have flat sides, will most likely end up with a flat display similar to Google’s new and recent Pixel 9 smartphones.
From what we know about the Find X8 series from an older report, the phones could be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC. Both devices could feature 1.5K+ resolution displays. A previous leak also suggested that the Find X8 could feature a flat 6.7-inch display while the ultra-premium model could offer a 6.8-inch micro-curved display. Another detail that has been leaked is that both smartphones could feature 6,000mAh batteries. Oppo is expected to unveil its Find X8 smartphones in October this year.
