Oppo’s compact flagship phone is close to launching, is confirmed to be called the Oppo Find X8s. The company has been teasing its advancements over the competition fervently and recently threw light on the phone’s display upgrades over other phones, including one way it beats the iPhone 16 Pro.
The Oppo Find X8s is claimed to feature extremely thin bezels along all four sides of its display. Zhou Yibao, the product manager for Oppo’s flagship Find series, shared an image on Chinese social media Weibo comparing the bezels on the upcoming compact phone — previously speculated to be called the Find X8 Mini — with those on what appears to be an iPhone 16 Pro or the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Obviously, Oppo’s bezels are seemingly thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro. While the representative does not specify the exact measure, they say it’s “only 1.xx mm” in thickness, with the “xx suggesting two decimal points following the numeral 1. Oppo has supposedly achieved this feat with an in-house “chip-level screen packaging technology.”
A similar technology was touted when Oppo announced its previous flagship in November last year, with the Find X8‘s display featuring 1.45mm bezels on all sides.
Comparatively, the iPhone 16 Pro is supposed to bezels measuring 1.41 mm along the top and the bottom and 1.46 mm on the sides. Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, despite being mounted by a larger display, has bezels that measure only 1.36mm. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has significantly larger borders, measuring over two millimeters.
But if Oppo is taking the liberty to brag about these sizes, we could assume it aims to challenge the smaller value among the two iPhone 16 Pro models. To the naked eye, these comparisons may be meaningless, but Oppo isn’t giving away any chance to be called the phone brand with the leanest bezels.
The Oppo phone is visibly narrower than the iPhone in the picture, too, which could be because of its smaller display size, expected to be just 6.3 inches.
Oppo’s larger flagship, the Oppo Find X8 Pro, already beats the iPhone 16 Pro with its versatile camera, though we don’t anticipate the same of the smaller phone. As for more details, we won’t be waiting longer to hear them as Oppo has already confirmed the “ultra-thin, small-screen flagship” that would rival the Galaxy S25 Edge and the iPhone 17 Air will launch in April. Whether the Oppo phone beats others in a comparison of overall slimness is something to be seen next month.
That seems to be the timeline for its launch in China, though, and with Oppo recently skipping a global launch of its book-style foldable, the Find N5, we wouldn’t have our hopes too high for the Find X8s either. However, the same phone could launch as the OnePlus 13T, if there aren’t any changes mid-way.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
