The rumors are probably true: Oppo is set to release another phone in its Find X8 series: the Find X8 Mini. An Oppo representative on Weibo has seemingly confirmed that a brand new “ultra-thin, small-screen flagship” will be launched alongside the Find X8 Ultra sometime in April. Unless we hear otherwise, this is likely the Find X8 Mini that has been speculated about for several months.

In November, known leaker Digital Chat Station said Oppo was preparing a new, thinner flagship model separate from the 2024 Find X8 and Find X8 Pro. A few months later, the same leaker released what could be a list of specs to expect on the phone.

The Find X8 Mini is said to feature a 6.3-inch OLED screen with very narrow bezels and a resolution of 1216×2640. If these specifications are accurate, it would be comparable to the Google Pixel 9 Pro and noticeably smaller than the Find X8 Pro, which has a 6.78-inch display. Additionally, the Find X8 Mini is expected to feature a 50MP periscope telephoto camera, though the specifications of its front-facing camera aren’t yet known.

We anticipate that the Find X8 Ultra will feature a 6.82-inch 2K AMOLED display and be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Additionally, it is expected to be equipped with a Hasselblad camera system, which is rumored to include a quad-camera setup consisting of a 50MP 1-inch main sensor, dual 50MP periscope telephoto lenses, and a 50MP ultra-wide sensor.

The Oppo Find X8 Mini is likely to be positioned to compete with two other thin phones set to launch this year: the Apple iPhone 17 Air and Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge.

Oppo is experiencing exciting times, a brand we love at Digital Trends. The Find X8 and Find X8 Pro received positive reviews late last year and we can’t wait to look at the incoming Find X8 Ultra and Find X8 Mini in the coming weeks. As we hear more information about these handsets, we’ll let you know.

In the era of absurdly pricey phones, Samsung Galaxy M47 lands as a pocket-friendly antidote

Smartphone pricing has been getting kind of ridiculous recently. More and more mid-range devices are nearing the entry-level flagship price range, while entry-level devices are basically competing with older, more powerful mid-range phones. But the Galaxy M47 arrives as a breath of fresh air

It arrives at a time when costs are jumping up, but the company has kept it accessible. It is launching in India at a starting price tag of Rs 22,999 (roughly $243), which includes a coupon offer. This model goes on sale via Amazon during the Prime Day sale from July 4.

Samsung may be ready to stretch the Galaxy line into stranger territory. Korean outlet Money Today reports that the company is developing a rollable Galaxy for a possible first-half 2028 launch, with Samsung Display in talks to supply the key OLED panel.

The timing couldn't be much messier. Samsung Display's foldable phone panel share reportedly fell behind BOE in the first quarter, even though Omdia expects a rebound tied to Samsung's next foldables later this year.
