Oppo is expected to unveil the next-generation Oppo Find X9 series of smartphones as early as September this year. In a new leak, tipster Digital Chat Station has claimed that it will be the world’s first smartphone to feature the Samsung HP5 sensor for the Find X9 Pro’s periscope camera. Here’s a look at the details shared by him.

Oppo tipped to debut new 200-megapixel HP5 periscope sensor

According to the leak, the Samsung HP5 periscope sensor is built on a 28nm process, features a 200-megapixel resolution, 0.5μm pixel size, and a 1/1.56-inch sensor size. While it falls slightly below the HP9 sensor in terms of individual pixel and sensor size—HP9 measures 1/1.4-inch with 0.56μm pixels—the HP5 is still a highly capable sensor.

The Samsung HP5 supports DCG-HDR technology, which is expected to enhance dynamic range and low-light performance. The leak also mentions that the Find X9 Pro is being tested with a triple-camera setup featuring 50-megapixel (main) + 50-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 200-megapixel (periscope, Samsung HP5) sensors.

This leak again reiterates that the X9 Pro will not feature a dual periscope camera like its predecessor. The tipster claims that the image quality remains good at 10X zoom, but the telephoto may not match the performance of a dual periscope setup.

As per reports, the Oppo Find X9 Pro will feature a 6.78-inch flat OLED panel that supports a 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. Under the hood, the device will feature the Dimensity 9500 chipset, which is said to comprise 1 x Travis + 3 x Alto + 4 x Gelas cores, and retains an 8-core design. It integrates the Immortalis-Drage GPU and adopts a new micro-architecture to enhance ray tracing performance while reducing power consumption.

Reports suggest that the entire Find X9 series will have a design change. Instead of the round camera module seen on the Find X8 series, one of the prototypes of the X9 lineup is said to be equipped with a matrix-style camera layout positioned in the top-left corner.
