Oppo Find X9 Ultra goes big on photography with dual 200MP sensors and Hasselblad tuning

The Find X9 Ultra is built around a six-lens system, trying to cover as many use cases as possible. And as mentioned earlier, the headline feature is the dual 200MP setup. 

There’s a 200MP main camera with an f/1.5 aperture that Oppo claims can take in more light than traditional 1-inch sensors. Alongside it sits a 200MP 3x telephoto camera with a large 1/1.28-inch sensor that is meant for portrait or close-up shots. 

Then there’s a dedicated 50MP 10x optical zoom telephoto lens, which can also snap “20x optical quality zoom” photos. The 50MP ultra-wide camera has also been upgraded to take 56% more light intake compared to the previous generation.

Together, these cameras are meant to deliver full focal length coverage in 8K image quality, which Oppo says is a first for its lineup.

On the software side, the new Hasselblad Master Mode is doing a lot of the work. It includes:

• Hasselblad True Detail, which allows 8K photo output across six focal lengths
• Hasselblad Natural Color, now paired with a full-link ProXDR pipeline
• Master Mode Original Film, which recreates classic film looks using computational processing

There are nine film-style presets in total, and unlike typical filters, these are meant to simulate real film tone and color behavior.

Oppo is also touting the Find X9 Ultra as a cinematic productivity tool, and this is where things get more technical.

The phone supports 8K video at 30fps and 4K at 120fps, both in 10-bit Log format. That’s paired with a new O-Log2 profile that is said to preserve more detail in shadows and midtones. For users working across multiple cameras, there’s support for the ACES color management workflow, which is typically used in professional production.

There’s also support for custom 3D LUTs, so that creators can preview and apply color grading directly on the device.

Beyond the camera itself, Oppo is building an ecosystem around it. In collaboration with TILTA, the company is offering accessories like ND filters and manual focus grips. The phone also supports HDMI output for easier integration into multi-camera setups.

For storage and workflow, Oppo has partnered with NAS brand Flyniu to enable private cloud management.

The Find X9 Ultra’s design takes cues from the Hasselblad X2D 100C Earth Explorer Limited Edition, which focuses on materials and finish rather than just aesthetics.

The back uses a new generation of environmentally friendly leather, where we can clearly see the Hasselblad branding too. The phone comes in three color options: Earth Tundra, Polar Glacier, and Velvet Sand Canyon.

On the durability side, Oppo is using Crystal Shield Glass and claims full-level waterproofing with IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings. The device has also received a five-star drop and shock resistance certification from SGS.

Outside of the camera system, the Find X9 Ultra still checks the usual flagship boxes. It runs on Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 paired with Oppo’s Tide Engine tuning. The company says the phone can maintain 144Hz performance in demanding games, including MOBA and FPS titles.

The display is a 6.82-inch 2K panel with a 144Hz refresh rate. It also includes pixel-level gamma correction and eye-protection features.

The Find X9 Ultra is backed by a 7050mAh “Glacier Battery,” which uses a silicon-carbon anode and a dedicated energy management chip. Charging is handled via 100W wired SuperVOOC and 50W wireless charging. 

The phone supports dual-satellite communication for calls and messages when there’s no cellular signal. It is backed by a dedicated communication enhancement chip. 

Other additions include symmetrical dual speakers, a bionic vibration motor, and upgrades to haptics and audio.

The Find X9 Ultra starts at 7,499 yuan (~ $1099) for the 12GB + 256GB model.

There’s also a higher-end “Hasselblad Earth Explorer Master Set,” priced at 11,999 yuan (~ $1759), which includes a 16GB + 1TB variant with satellite communication and a bundle of professional accessories.

Additional accessory kits are sold separately, including a professional imaging kit priced at 2,499 yuan (~ $366).
