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.

WhatsApp’s new Scam Alert feature will flag scam messages while keeping your chats private

Meta's new AI model will warn you about scams without breaking encryption.

Scammers have been targeting WhatsApp users for years, and the numbers prove it. The FTC says victims reported losing $425 million to scams on WhatsApp alone, part of a broader $2.1 billion lost to social media scams in 2025.

Now Meta is fighting back with Scam Alert, a new optional feature rolling out in limited beta that flags suspicious messages using artificial intelligence, all without ever reading your actual conversations.

Apple’s first foldable iPhone is getting closer to its expected September unveiling, but a new report suggests actually buying one may be much harder than expected.

According to ChannelNews Australia, Apple could unveil the rumored iPhone Ultra this fall while keeping the initial retail rollout extremely limited. The report points to supply, pricing, and production testing issues, with the U.S. potentially getting the first batch while markets such as Australia wait several months.

I’m a sucker for colorful phones, and Google knows exactly what it’s doing

Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Color has a funny way of grabbing my attention. It could be a bright bunch of flowers, a colorful bottle sitting on a shelf, a funky piece of home decor, or even something as small as a pair of earbuds. And when it comes to phones, I’m the same. Give me an interesting color, and I’m probably going to notice it before anything else.

Phone makers clearly know this, too. Apple has been playing with colorful iPhones for years, with the iPhone 5c being one of the earliest and most obvious examples. Google has embraced color with its Pixel lineup as well, especially since the Pixel 5 era. But over the years, I’ve started to feel that Google does phone colors better than almost anyone else. It doesn’t just slap a bright shade on the back and call it a day. Its colors tend to have personality. That feeling became even stronger when Google unveiled the Pixel 11 series at its Made by Google event. The moment I saw the new lineup, the colors were among the first things that caught my eye. And once again, Google reminded me why Pixel colors are some of my favorites in the business.
