The Oppo Discover X5 launched means again in spring 2022, which suggests the launch of the following era – the Discover X6 and Discover X6 Professional – is probably going quick approaching.
Leaks have begun already, as have the primary few official bulletins, and we predict we all know a bit of in regards to the chipsets, cameras, and shows of the 2 flagship telephones anticipated subsequent yr.
Right here’s all we all know thus far in regards to the Oppo Discover X6 sequence.
When will the Oppo Discover X6 be launched?
There’s no confirmed date of once we’ll see the Discover X6 but.
Leaker Digital Chat Station has posted on Weibo that the launch will come after Spring Pageant – a.okay.a. Chinese language New 12 months – and certain nearer to late February or March.
In fact, we are able to additionally use the earlier fashions to provide us some thought of when that is perhaps. Right here’s how they lined up:
- Oppo Discover X5 – March 2022
- Oppo Discover X3 – March 2021
As you may see from the sample above, March is the slot Oppo makes use of to launch new generations of the Discover X fashions, so it appears fairly probably that the Oppo Discover X6 will arrive in the identical window. Going by Oppo’s observe document that will probably be a worldwide launch, although gained’t embody the US.
It's possible you'll be questioning what occurred to the Discover X4 – effectively the quantity 4 is deemed unfortunate in China, the place Oppo is predicated, so the selection was made to easily skip over it and go straight to the X5 vary as an alternative.
How a lot will the Oppo Discover X6 price?
Once more, there’s no confirmed pricing on the Discover X6 vary, so we have to look again on the fashions which have come earlier than to provide us a clue. For ease, we’re breaking them down based mostly by mannequin. First there’s the common mannequin:
- Oppo Discover X5 – £749/€999
- Oppo Discover X3 – CNY 4,499 (China solely)
Then we get the Professional:
Then the extra inexpensive Lite:
And at last the Neo, although we by no means truly acquired a Discover X5 Neo, in order that line could be performed.
We don’t anticipate Oppo to stray too removed from the pricing of the Discover X5 vary, which is already competing immediately with the likes of Samsung and Xiaomi, although if present inflation traits proceed the value could effectively rise a bit of.
What is going to the Oppo Discover X6 specs and design be?
Because the projected launch of the Oppo Discover X6 remains to be fairly distant, there have been few spec leaks thus far, however particulars are starting to trickle out – and Oppo has even begun its personal official bulletins.
Let’s begin with the design, the place it seems like Oppo could also be reinventing the road’s design language. That’s in keeping with leaker EvLeaks at the very least, who’s shared this picture of a cellphone that he truly doesn’t identify, however is presumably a part of the Discover X6 line – and fairly probably the Professional mannequin, given what seems to be a periscope lens on the bottom-left of the digital camera module.

If that's the case, it is a large shift from the moulded look of the earlier two generations, in the direction of one thing way more conservative – albeit with an over-sized digital camera and sizeable Hasselblad brand.
We’ve gotten a partial glimpse at an identical design in pictures of what’s allegedly a Discover X6 sequence prototype gadget noticed in China. GSMArena has the pictures of the cellphone, which we are able to nearly see has an over-sized digital camera module, massive sufficient to make the entire cellphone tilt when set down.
In truth, the digital camera right here seems even wider than the one on the render above, stretching all the way in which throughout the highest of the cellphone. That implies both that that is the Professional and the render is of the common mannequin, or that one among these designs isn't fairly proper.
As for the precise specs, we’ve heard a bit of about chipsets. Oppo itself has confirmed that it's going to use the brand new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip in its subsequent Discover X sequence telephones – i.e. the Discover X6.
That doesn’t essentially imply that the 8 Gen 2 will seem in each Discover X6 handset although. Weibo leaker Digital Agent 007 claims that whereas the Discover X6 Professional will use the 8 Gen 2, the common Discover X6 will use the older 8+ Gen 1. That sounds believable, although take it with a pinch of salt, as this isn’t a leaker we’ve seen a lot from previously.
It’s attainable we’ll see much more variants. The Discover X5 Professional additionally launched in a separate model with the MediaTek Dimensity 9000, at the very least in China, and we may see the identical once more with its follow-up, the Dimensity 9200.
In a quick report, the higher recognized leaker Digital Chat Station has additionally hinted on the shows, suggesting we’ll see a 2K panel on the X6 Professional, and a 1.5K panel on the X6 – a time period we’re starting to see to check with a 1,220px horizontal decision. There’s no phrase on the precise show tech, however anticipate 120Hz AMOLED panels in any case.
Then there’s cameras. Once more, Digital Chat Station is our supply, reporting that we’ll see a trio of 50Mp sensors on the rear of the Discover X6 Professional: the 1in Sony IMX989 for the principle digital camera with OIS (the identical sensor discovered within the Xiaomi 12S Extremely, and anticipated to characteristic within the Xiaomi 13 Professional), with the IMX890 used for each the ultrawide and the two.7x optical zoom with OIS – although he’s since added that there’s an opportunity the IMX766 will as an alternative be used for the telephoto. As for selfies, there’ll be a 32Mp digital camera utilizing the IMX709 apparently.
Impressively, Digital Chat Station provides that the Discover X6 Professional will probably be able to recording 4K HDR video in evening mode when utilizing the 1in IMX989 sensor, thanks partially to the MariSilicon X picture processing chip within the cellphone. That might make this the most effective cellphone round for low mild video when it launches.
We’ll supposedly see an identical setup on the common Discover X6. Early stories advised it could use two 50Mp sensors and a 32Mp sensor – the decrease decision probably for the telephoto – however extra lately Digital Chat Station has claimed that each one three rear cameras will probably be 50Mp. Right here the IMX890 will characteristic on the principle digital camera, with as-yet unknown sensors for the ultrawide and telephoto.
