Reputable tipster Digital Chat Station is now saying alongside the Oppo Find X8 Ultra, we may be getting an Oppo Find X8 Mini. As usual with any leak or rumor, it's not 100% certain this will be happening, but Digital Chat Stations is usually pretty accurate in his predictions.

Before you get too hyped up: it's not known at this point whether the Mini flagship will make it to the global market. It may remain exclusive to China. Meanwhile, the Oppo Find X8 Ultra is coming to global markets, most likely.
Earlier, Oppo confirmed the Oppo Find X8 series will be coming to the global market, but it's not clear if both the Find X8 and the Find X8 Pro will be available globally. The global launch is expected to come sometime this month.
As for the Oppo Find X8 Mini, if it comes, it may be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chip, or (a bit less likely) the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
The Find X8 and X8 Pro are powered by MediaTek's chip, while the Ultra is expected to come with the flagship chip from Qualcomm.
Digital Chat Station doesn't give any specs about the phone. The leaker mentions it will be a 'true small flagship', but it's unclear how small. Hopefully, this ends up happening as I know at least a dozen people who would be delighted to hear about a compact flagship phone.
I am personally a fan of big phones for the big display and battery, but I've been carrying a very big phone for the last couple of years and honestly, I may be tempted to go for a smaller flagship, if one is available.
