Smartphone makers love to push the “pro photography in your pocket” line, but Oppo is going further than most. Ahead of its October 16 China launch, the company has set up a direct comparison between the upcoming Find X9 Pro and one of the most serious cameras around — the $11,000 Hasselblad X2D II 100C.
In a Weibo post, Oppo’s Find Series manager Zhou Yibao shared side-by-side shots, putting the Find X9 Pro up against the Hasselblad camera. Oppo’s sample — marked on the right — look surprisingly close in color and sharpness, especially with the brand’s image processing at work. The Hasselblad still has the upper hand in dynamic range and natural depth, thanks to its giant 3.76µm pixels compared to the phone’s tiny 0.5µm ones.
The star of Oppo’s camera system is a 200MP ISOCELL HP5 sensor used for the telephoto lens at 70mm. Unlike older high-megapixel sensors that binned down to 12MP, this one repirtedly captures at the full 200MP (or 50MP) in good light.
According to leaks, the full setup includes a 50MP Sony LYT-828 main camera with OIS, a 50MP ultrawide, and the 200MP periscope offering 3.5x optical zoom (and up to 120x hybrid). Hasselblad’s signature touches, like XPAN mode and a new triple-exposure trick, are also part of the package. There’s even an optional imaging kit with a teleconverter that extends the reach from 70mm to 220mm.
Specs elsewhere are just as ambitious. The Find X9 Pro is said to run on MediaTek’s new Dimensity 9500, backed by a huge 7,500mAh battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. The 6.78-inch LTPO OLED screen offers a 1.5K resolution at 120Hz, while the design stays relatively slim at 8.25mm thick and 224g.
At around $1,000, the Find X9 Pro obviously isn’t replacing Hasselblad gear for professionals. But for travelers or creators who want high-quality shots without hauling a bulky camera, Oppo’s latest flagship is shaping up as one of the boldest camera phones yet.
