Is Oppo’s Find X7 series dropping the ‘Pro’ model? Latest rumors suggest so،
In the world of mobile technology, the term “Pro” is mandatory these days: you can find it on everything from phones to tablets to headphones. There is, however, one place where the “Pro” inscription could be missing: in Oppo's latest flagship series, the Oppo Find X7 series.
The latest rumor comes from a well-known tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, which posted eyebrow-raising information but then deleted the social media post (via Gizmochina).
Before the now-deleted Digital Chat Station post, we lived a peaceful life assuming that there would be three flagship modifications from Oppo in the near future:
- Oppo Find X7
- Oppo Find X7 Pro
- Oppo Find X7 Ultra
Now, the new leak suggests that there won't be a Pro model. Instead, the Ultra will be split into two nearly identical phones, with the only difference being the satellite connectivity capabilities added to one of the twins:
- Oppo Find X7
- Oppo Find X7 Ultra
- Oppo Find X7 Ultra satellite communications
The leak states that all models in the range will pack a 5,000mAh battery with a 100W charging speed, while the Ultra models will also get a 50W wireless charging speed – which previous leaks suggest also commented.
Tell me what's under the hood
The flagship Vanilla Find
The Dimensity 9300 chipset is exciting news: after all, it is MediaTek's answer to the so popular Snapdragon 8 generation 3 from Qualcomm.
Let's review the main features of the Dimensity 9300:
- Big Core Power: The Dimensity 9300 is built on TSMC's third-generation 4nm process with four Arm Cortex-X4 cores with operating speeds up to 3.25 GHz and four Cortex-A720 cores running up to 2.0 GHz to maximize performance.
- Faster display speeds: The chipset supports WQHD (“Wide Quad High Definition”, 2560 x 1440 px) at 180 Hz and 4K up to 120 Hz to deliver stunning visuals, as well as support for Supports dual active display for foldable form factors.
- 5G connectivity (duh!): Of course, a 2024 flagship (even if it's the vanilla variant) should offer 5G. The modem of this SoC features MediaTek's UltraSave 3.0+ technology for improved power efficiency.
However, some reports show that the Dimensity 9300 slows down during the stress test and loses 46% of its performance. So it's best that the Oppo Find X7 has some serious vapor chambers to cool things down, because high temperature is the phone's nemesis. The other two phones in the Find X7 series – the Find X7 Pro and the Find the Oppo Find X7 Ultra Satellite Communications) are expected to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Here are the key takeaways, comparing the new Snapdragon to its previous iteration:
- TSMC 4nm production method
- 10% higher system efficiency
- Kryo processor 30% faster and 20% more efficient
- Adreno GPU 25% faster and 25% more efficient
- AI performance improved by 98% and performance per watt improved by 40%
- Spectra ISP: Supports 8K HDR and features multi-camera real-time semantic segmentation, Dolby HDR photo technology and dual always-on cameras
