OPPO Find X9 series tipped to feature flat displays and Dimensity 9500 chip
The OPPO Find X9 series is expected to debut in China this fall — probably in October, if the company follows the Find X8 launch timeline from last year. However, that hasn't stopped the rumour mill from churning out interesting details about the next-generation devices, especially one related to the phone's front profile. According to popular tipster Digital Chat Station, two of the upcoming phones in the series will feature flat displays with screen sizes of 6.59 inches and 6.78 inches, respectively. These devices are tipped to be the standard X9 and X9 Pro. For context, with the Find X8 series, only the standard X8 came with a flat display, while the X8 Pro was one of the first phones to feature the quad-curved display interesting titbit from the leak is the suggestion that OPPO could be solely relying on flat panels across the entire Find X9 lineup. So, even the X9 Ultra model, which is expected to succeed the X8 Ultra, could come with a flat panel — just like the standard and Pro variants. On top of this, there's a rumour of a compact 6.3-inch device as well. This could possibly be called the OPPO Find X9s, as the company already offers a 6.3-inch compact phone in the Find X8 series, namely, the OPPO Find X8s. Of course, we'll get to know more about these phones in the coming from the design rumours, as you must have figured out, the Find X9 series is expected to include four devices — the 6.3-inch model, the X9 with a 6.59-inch display, the X9 Pro with a 6.78-inch display, and the X9 Ultra, likely with a 6.82-inch display, succeeding the X8 Ultra. The phones are set to receive a substantial hardware upgrade as well. Rumours suggest the Find X9 series could be powered by the next-generation MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip — said to be built on TSMC's 3nm advanced N3P process. This shouldn't come as a surprise, as three phones in the Find X8 series — X8, X8 Pro and X8s — are powered by the Dimensity 9400 series chipsets. However, it will be interesting to see whether the Ultra model also comes with the Dimensity 9500 chip or uses the second-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite When it comes to the launch timeline, this is where things get interesting. You see, with the Find X8 series, we witnessed a scattered launch. While the X8 and X8 Pro were initially launched in China last October and later released worldwide (including India) in November, the X8 Ultra and the X8s (alongside the X8 Plus) were unveiled in April — just a couple of months ago. On top of this, OPPO isn't even selling the Find X8 Ultra and Find X8s in that said, while the entire Find X9 series looks quite promising, it will be interesting to see whether OPPO decides to launch all the phones together or go for a scattered release like the X8 series. Also, which of the phones make their way to India remains to be tuned to India Today Tech for all the latest on the OPPO Find X9 series.

Airbus Helicopters to launch new H140 model
By Tim Hepher PARIS (Reuters) -Airbus Helicopters on Tuesday announced the launch of its first all-new helicopter in about a decade: a light, twin-engined model aimed initially at emergency services. The H140 helicopter in the 3 metric ton class will enter service in 2028 and expand on the existing H135, the world's largest civil helicopter maker said. Airbus said the new five-bladed helicopter would offer a bigger cabin than the H135 and would be powered by Safran's Arrius 2E engine. The launch of a new helicopter follows an internal study code-named X8 aimed at preparing an eventual successor to the decades-old H135, industry sources said, though Airbus took pains not to rattle potential buyers of the existing model. "Don't worry, we will continue to propose this want to continue to give choice," Airbus Helicopters CEO Bruno Even told delegates at the Verticon event in Dallas, during a livestreamed ceremony. The move comes two years after another coded project, X9, to develop a demonstrator for technologies to develop a successor to the best-selling and larger H145, first revealed by Reuters. Successors to the H135 and eventually the H145 would regenerate the German side of Airbus Helicopters, formed from a 1992 merger between divisions of France's Aerospatiale and MBB of Germany to counter U.S. rivals led by Bell, Boeing and Sikorsky and originally called Eurocopter. Spain joined later. For now, analysts say Airbus is being careful to balance the need to prepare for new products with continued solid demand for its existing light twin-engined portfolio, and is avoiding saying how the projects fit into future replacement plans. Donauwoerth in Bavaria is home to the twin-engined H135 and H145, while other civil programmes focus mainly on Marignane, France, where Airbus Helicopters is based. The H140 will be managed and assembled in Germany, though Airbus Helicopters increasingly uses a production philosophy pioneered by the larger jetliners division, which involves sites across Europe specialising in specific skills or manufacturing. Airbus Helicopters is the European aerospace giant's smallest but most profitable division, as the main civil jet business tackles production snags and the defence and space division is dealing with cost overruns. Divisional profit in Helicopters rose more than 11% last year as revenue rose 8%, outpacing other parts of the group. Sign in to access your portfolio
