Oppo Find X3 may not be a flagship phone after all. The vanilla model in the upcoming Find X3 series has appeared on the AnTuTu and AIDA 64 benchmark platforms, and the flagship Snapdragon 888 chipset is nowhere in sight.
According to the screenshots of benchmark tests of the Oppo model number PEDM00, which were leaked on Twitter by a user, there will be the Snapdragon 870 processor inside. The listing for PEDM00, which is reportedly the Find X’s codename, shows the chipset codenamed “Kona,” which denotes Snapdragon 865, but another screenshot gives more concrete information. The screenshot of the device’s “About device” section shows the Snapdragon 870 chipset on the phone. The Snapdragon 870 is just a slightly better version of Snapdragon 865 that Qualcomm launched for 2021 phones, so this codename sort of falls in line.
The screenshot further shows the Oppo Find X3 will come with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. It will run on Android 11-based ColorOS 11.2, while the display resolution may be 1080×2412 pixels. The Oppo Find X3 may also come with a 12.6MP camera on the front for selfies and video calls. The rest of the specifications of this phone are not available via these screenshots. But there have been rumors that the phone will have a 65W fast charging and 64MP primary camera on the back. There could be a dual-curved display on the Find X3, as well.
Oppo confirmed the Find X3 series quite a while ago. While rumors are rife, the flagship series could be launched sometime towards the beginning of March. However, there is no confirmation from Oppo on the launch date of these phones so far. Oppo has also not confirmed what all phones will be introduced. Rumors say there will be four of them, and it is quite possible only the Find X3 and X3 Pro will debut first while the rest of the models come later.
