Digital Chat Station recently shared hands-on images on Weibo that reportedly revealed the front of a Find X8 prototype, hidden under a large case to disguise its appearance.

Performance
It has been confirmed that MediaTek’s new Dimensity 9400 chipset will debut on the Find X8 series. The new flagship promises big improvements in performance and power efficiency, as well as a focus on AI features.
However, it is not yet clear which Find X8 models will use the Dimensity 9400. Oppo could continue its approach to the Find especially with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 coming soon.
According to Geekbench testing results, the Dimensity 94000 phone can achieve scores of 2,876 for single-core performance and 8,987 for multi-core performance. The chip uses a big-core structure with 1 Cortex-X5 core clocked at 3.4 GHz, 3 Cortex-X4 cores at 3.3 GHz, and 4 Cortex-A720 cores at 2.4 GHz.
