Oppo is set to bring satellite communication to the smartphone market with its upcoming Find X7 series.
This breakthrough feature was announced on Weibo and is expected to utilize the BeiDou satellite messaging service, similar to what is seen in the Huawei Mate 60.
However, there’s a likelihood that this functionality may initially be exclusive to China, especially if the phone launches globally.
This innovation places Oppo’s Find X7 series in a growing league of smartphones incorporating satellite communication.
The trend is gaining momentum, with other major players like Vivo in their X100 series and Samsung with its anticipated Galaxy S24 series also venturing into this technology.
The Find X7 series, apart from its satellite communication capability, boasts other impressive features.
It is equipped with a Hasselblad camera system, ensuring high-quality photography, and is powered by the Dimensity 9300 flagship chipset, promising top-tier performance.
While the global availability of the Find X7 series remains uncertain – its predecessor, the OPPO Find X6 Pro, did not have a global launch – there is anticipation about its release.
Speculations suggest that the series could be announced in China within the first quarter of 2024.
This timeline follows the launch pattern of the OPPO Find X6 series, which debuted at the end of March 2023.
Rumors around the Find X7 series include the Pro variant featuring a super-bright display from BOE, incorporating their new Q1 panel, and the adoption of the Sony LYT-900 camera sensor, likely to elevate the phone’s imaging capabilities.
Satellite communication in smartphones is not just limited to Oppo.
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S24 series has been hinted to include such features, and Apple has already introduced an emergency SOS via satellite feature.
This growing trend highlights a new frontier in smartphone technology, offering users novel ways to stay connected.
