Let’s get it straight: the OPPO Find X9 Ultra did not disappoint. It’s genuinely a great camera phone. After carrying it on a five‑day trip to Japan and capturing over a thousand photos, I came to fully appreciate just how impressive its strengths really are. That said, I also discovered quite a few weaknesses. So let’s dive into the sample shots and break down the camera performance of the Find X9 Ultra.

**All the photos on this webpage are compressed. Please check out the video for high-resolution samples.**

Master Mode

Since Master Mode tends to reduce shutter time, photos often come out slightly underexposed. Combined with vignetting and lighter post-processing, the results look more cinematic. Shots taken at dusk also appear much closer to what your eyes actually see, while the default mode makes it feel like the sun never went down. The downside, however, is that exposure can sometimes be pushed too low, turning sunny days into scenes that look overcast.

As for the default mode, its characteristics are very aggressive HDR, heavy sharpening, and highly saturated colors. Well, sometimes it really does make your photos look better, like sharper details and higher dynamic range. But it depends on the scene, and sometimes it completely ruins the shot. For example, the excessive HDR processing can make daytime photos look flat, and even the sun no longer feels blinding.

At night, shadow areas may also exhibit slight color artifacts.

Based on my experience of taking over a thousand photos, I still recommend using Master Mode for daily shooting, and only switching back to the default mode when the scene doesn’t suit it. Because honestly, after looking at too many high-contrast and over-sharpened photos, it really feels like they’re assaulting my eyes. So, unless otherwise specified, every photo shown was taken using Master Mode.

23mm

Although the sensor has become smaller and the glass elements is gone, the actual image quality has not regressed. You can still take photos with an extremely shallow depth of field. Though sometimes a shallow depth of field is not necessarily a good thing, especially when shooting food.

Thankfully, this time the main camera is 200MP, so OPPO added a new option in the Find X9 Ultra: High Resolution mode. Once enabled, under good lighting conditions, the photos you take will be 28MP. This allows the camera to fully take advantage of the high-resolution sensor.

Well, there’s honestly not much else to say. This main camera is simply one of the best cameras available right now, and it can reliably capture what you want in almost any situation.

For example, the photo was taken in an environment where I could barely see anything with my own eyes. Under conditions like that, only the main camera could capture the black cat walking by at night.

230mm

Because this new 10x optical telephoto lens requires light to go through five reflections before reaching the sensor, theoretically, its optical quality was never going to be amazing. And in practice, that’s exactly the case. If you zoom in and inspect any photo taken with this lens, you can almost always find red or green outlines appearing around object edges.

Since chromatic aberration exists, spherical aberration naturally exists as well. Simply put, the image just doesn’t look sharp enough. And if you’re using Master Mode, the photos can end up looking like they have a soft diffusion filter applied. So it’s obvious that the bottleneck of this camera is not the sensor, but the lens itself. Compared to the Samsung S23 Ultra, this telephoto camera only wins by a very narrow margin in image quality.

The scenarios where this high-resolution sensor truly shines are cloudy weather or scenes beyond 230mm. Without harsh lighting, the aberration issues become much less noticeable. And thanks to In-Sensor Zoom, it can extend to 460mm, making bird photography barely usable as well. Even though I complained quite a bit about the aberration problems earlier, realistically, if you don’t zoom in, you probably won’t notice them at all. And once the photos are uploaded to social media, nobody will notice those tiny flaws anyway. In reality, I’m still pretty satisfied with this lens. It may not be perfect, but it genuinely allows me to capture more distant scenery.

Have you ever thought about this question: under what circumstances would you even photograph such distant objects in pitch-black darkness? So even though it does perform better than Samsung at night, I honestly think that advantage is meaningless.

70mm

Between the ultra-long telephoto camera and the main camera, OPPO chose a 200MP sensor as the transition camera. But with an aperture this large, calling it a “transition camera” doesn’t really feel appropriate. In fact, out of all four cameras, this one is my favorite. With its massive sensor size and huge aperture, this is the best 70mm camera ever made on a smartphone.

Just like the main camera, it delivers professional camera-level background blur. At 6x zoom, image sharpness drops slightly, but it’s still acceptable. Most telephoto cameras struggle badly at night, but the Find X9 Ultra does not. This camera can still produce satisfying results after dark.

For example, in this photo taken at dusk, both the white house nearby and the signal tower in the distance remain incredibly sharp. Just like the main camera, I genuinely cannot find anything to complain about with this 70mm camera. It is simply one of the best smartphone cameras ever made.

14mm

The ultra-wide camera is slightly better than the one on the Find X8 Ultra, but compared to the other three cameras, it feels pretty bad. Purple fringing is quite severe. Even without backlighting, you can still spot purple edges once you zoom into the corners of the image. And if you combine backlighting with scenes full of high-frequency detail, the results become downright terrible. This once again proves that the bottleneck, just like the 10x telephoto camera, lies in the lens rather than the sensor.

At night, the gap between this camera and its siblings becomes even larger. Besides the obvious loss in sharpness, the lack of OIS also dramatically increases the number of blurry shots. The only solution is to take multiple photos and hope one of them comes out sharp.

Although this ultra-wide camera drags the whole system down, I can understand OPPO’s decision. During my trip, only about 1/10 of my photos were actually taken with this camera. Even when facing extremely grand scenery, the main camera’s 23mm focal length was already wide enough. Sacrificing the ultra-wide camera in exchange for more space for the telephoto system was honestly a smart decision.

Photography Kit

Unfortunately, OPPO’s photography kit and teleconverter are not sold separately this time. If you want them, you’ll have to spend nearly $1800, together with the 1TB version of the phone. I’m not rich, so I didn’t buy it, but I did get some hands-on experience with the kit at an OPPO offline store. My first impression was this: compared to practicality, it gives you far more emotional value.

Although the teleconverter is only 300mm, it is physically larger and longer than vivo’s 400mm one. The grip and phone case are integrated together, but the grip itself is very shallow, making it difficult to hold such a heavy phone securely. The only buttons are the shutter key and zoom lever, and it connects via Bluetooth. There’s no doubt that the design is ahead of both Xiaomi and vivo, but in terms of practicality, it also unquestionably ranks last.

Considering the Find X9 Ultra already has a 230mm camera, and the global version could potentially exceed $2000, I’d still recommend saving your money for the hardships of life instead.

Video Recording

Every clip was recorded in 4K 30FPS, converted from O-Log2 back to Rec.709, without any color grading. I set the bitrate to the highest setting, so every clip basically exceeded 75Mbps. For a smartphone, this level of stabilization plus such clear image quality is already top-tier.

But there are still some flaws. For example, the telephoto camera occasionally shows slight jitter. And once again, this ultra-wide camera drags everything down. Not only does it still suffer from purple fringing, but its dynamic range is also noticeably weaker. Even enabling O-Log2 cannot recover the highlights.

At night, the image quality also drops dramatically, with noise dancing all over the screen. You can clearly see how massive the gap becomes once I switch back to the main camera. But aside from that, I’m still very satisfied with the video quality from the other cameras.

Verdict

In the past, whenever I traveled and wanted a full focal‑length photography experience, I had to carry a massive lens—bigger than this phone. Now, OPPO offers a much smarter alternative. The Find X9 Ultra is the first true all‑focal‑length smartphone I’ve ever seen. And for me, the essence of smartphone photography comes down to one word: convenience.

Even if its image quality can’t quite match a mirrorless camera, it lets you carry fewer lenses, climb higher mountains, travel to more places, and meet more people. That, to me, is the true essence of smartphone photography. And the Find X9 Ultra is the ultimate device that fully embodies that philosophy.

Some of the most exciting phones in the world right now are ones you simply cannot walk into a store and buy, not if you live in the United States, anyway. While Americans are busy debating iPhone versus Pixel, a whole other tier of smartphones is being sold in China, Europe, and parts of Asia that would make your current device feel embarrassingly ordinary. 

These phones push cameras, screens, and designs further than anything available at your local carrier store. You just can’t have them. Well, not easily.

To be clear, this isn’t a list of what’s coming soon or what might launch in the US someday. These are phones you can buy right now, just not in the US. Some are blocked due to trade restrictions. Others never made the trip because the manufacturers decided the market wasn’t worth the trouble. A few exist in a legal grey area that makes importing them genuinely complicated. Whatever the reason, they’re out there, and they’re good. Really good.

So if you’re curious what the rest of the world is using. Or if you’re the kind of person who’s already Googling import guides, here’s what you’re missing.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra

Display 6.9-inch LTPO OLED, 2608×1200, 3,500 nits peak, 120Hz Chip Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Cameras 50MP main (1-inch Leica sensor, f/1.7) + 50MP ultrawide + 200MP periscope telephoto Battery 6,000mAh — 90W wired, 50W wireless Durability IP66/IP68/IP69

Xiaomi has been building its partnership with Leica for a few years, and the 17 Ultra is where that work really pays off. The main camera sits on a one-inch sensor, and we called it one of the most ambitious smartphones of the year after getting hands-on time with it at launch.

What sets it apart from the usual flagship camera race is the Leica Essential mode, which gives photos their emotions back. Rather than chasing sharpness and perfect accuracy, it pulls back highlights, lets shadows breathe, and adds a subtle grain that makes images feel like they were taken with a real camera rather than optimised by a computer. It’s a genuinely different philosophy, and it works.

The battery is the biggest in any Xiaomi Ultra device yet, and the phone is rated for dust and water resistance at three separate ingress protection levels. It starts at around €1,249 in Europe.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra

Display 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED, 3168×1440, 144Hz Chip Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Cameras 200MP main (Hasselblad) + 200MP periscope telephoto + 50MP secondary telephoto + 50MP ultrawide Battery 7,050mAh — 100W SuperVOOC wired, 50W AirVOOC wireless Durability IP66/IP68/IP69

The Find X9 Ultra is Oppo’s most powerful phone yet, and it comes with a camera setup that looks borderline excessive on paper. Two 200-megapixel sensors, a third 50-megapixel periscope, and a 50-megapixel ultrawide. 

So as you might guess, the Find X9 Ultra targets the ultra-premium segment, competing directly with the Xiaomi 17 Ultra and Vivo X300 Ultra as one of the most camera-forward phones on the market.

The Hasselblad tuning on the camera gives the results a more natural, less processed quality that’s different from what Samsung or Google serve up. The Find X9 Ultra leans into a more expressive design with eco-leather options that give a tactile, character-driven feel.

It starts at Rs 169,999 in India, or about $1,776 at current exchange rates. Not cheap, but then again, you’re getting four cameras, with two of them shooting at 200 megapixels.

Vivo X300 Ultra

Display 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED, 1440p, 144Hz, Dolby Vision, Zeiss Master Color Chip Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Cameras 200MP main (Sony LYTIA 901 sensor) + 200MP periscope telephoto + 50MP ultrawide Battery 6,600mAh — 100W wired, 40W wireless Durability IP68/IP69

Vivo has been making some of the most interesting camera phones in the world for a couple of years now, and the X300 Ultra continues that streak. Though the upgrades this year are just too incremental. 

Our first impression of the phone was that it might as well be called the X200s Ultra. Not to say the improvements aren’t noticeable, but modest compared to the generational leap of its predecessor.

That said, what it does well, it does exceptionally. For instance, the “Raw Lighting” mode dials back the computational processing to produce images that look more like they came from a professional camera than a phone. Saturation is reduced, sharpening is toned down, and the fine details come out more naturally. It’s the kind of feature that’s far more useful day-to-day than any flashy filter.

The main camera uses a Sony LYTIA 901 sensor, and Zeiss handles the colour calibration. The telephoto is a genuine upgrade over last year’s, though we found a noticeable difference only in low light. In good lighting, the gap between the X300 Ultra and X200 Ultra is minimal.

The 6,600mAh cell and 100W wired charging run everything. Available from around €1,999.

Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max 

Display 6.9-inch LTPO OLED, 1.5K, 120Hz, Kunlun Glass Chip Kirin 9030S Cameras 50MP main (RYYB sensor, f/1.4–f/4.0 variable aperture) + 200MP periscope telephoto + 40MP ultrawide Battery 6,000mAh — 100W wired Durability IP68/IP69

Huawei is the most complicated name on this list. US trade restrictions have essentially cut the company off from American markets, and using one here comes with real trade-offs — no Google services, limited app support, and software that takes some patience to work around.

With all of that said, the Pura 90 Pro Max’s camera system is genuinely worth knowing about. The Pro Max is the top of the lineup this time, and it leads with a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, a first for any Huawei flagship. The phone also supports up to 20x telephoto video recording using that same lens, putting it in rarefied company on the zoom front.

The main camera uses a variable aperture that physically adjusts like a real camera — ranging from f/1.4 to f/4.0 — which gives you more control over depth of field than any fixed-lens phone can match. Huawei calls this its second-generation Red Maple Image technology, designed to maintain natural colours in complex lighting situations like sunsets or firelight, where other phones tend to go strange.

We compared the phone against the Vivo X300 Ultra, and while it delivers a more elegant and refined experience, it sits a step behind on raw display quality and outright performance. At around $1,199, it’s the most affordable phone on this list. Imported that is. 

Huawei Pura X Max

Display 7.7-inch inner OLED (4:3 ratio) + 5.4-inch outer display, 120Hz Chip Kirin 9030 Pro Cameras 50MP main with variable aperture + 50MP periscope telephoto +12.5MP ultrawide Battery 5300mAh— 66W wired Build 5.2mm thin unfolded, 11.2mm folded, 229g Durability IP58/IP59

Most foldable phones fold to be taller and narrower, or they flip to be compact. The Pura X Max does something different. It folds horizontally to create a screen that’s wider rather than taller, closer in shape to a compact iPad than a regular phone. It is the industry’s first horizontally wide foldable with a 7.7-inch inner display and a near 4:3 aspect ratio. 

Spoiler: the upcoming iPhone Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide might share a similar footprint.

Such a design has a real upside. Watching video, reading, multitasking, editing photos, or anything you’d normally do on a small tablet is much more comfortable on a display shaped like this. The 5.4-inch outer screen is wide enough to handle messages and calls without unfolding. And despite the large displays, Huawei kept the weight to a reasonable 229 grams and the unfolded thickness to just 5.2mm.

The same Google services caveats that apply to the Pura 90 Pro Max apply here, too. And the water resistance rating of IP58/IP59 is a step below what Honor manages on the Magic V6. But as a piece of hardware, thinking differently about the foldable form factor, there’s nothing quite like it. 

Honor Magic V6

Display 7.95-inch inner LTPO 2.0 AMOLED, 2172×2352, 120Hz + 6.52-inch outer AMOLED Chip Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Cameras 50MP main + 64MP periscope telephoto + 50MP ultrawide Battery 6,660mAh (global) or 7,150mAh (China) — 80W wired, 66W wireless Durability IP68/IP69 — first foldable to achieve both ratings

Folding phones have always come with compromises you had to accept in exchange for the novelty. The Magic V6, which debuted at MWC 2026, is the clearest sign yet that Honor has figured out how to close that gap.

Our impression of the foldable was that the crease on the inner display is remarkably shallow, even after a week of heavy use. Honor’s new Super Steel design, rated for 500,000 folds, also feels solid and smooth throughout. It measures 8.75mm folded and just 4mm when open.

Where Honor brings real improvement is ingress protection. The Magic V6 is the first foldable phone in the world to earn both IP68 and IP69 ratings. Getting caught in the rain with a foldable has always been a mild source of anxiety. Not anymore, at least with this one.

The Magic V6 also offers an exceptional camera experience for a foldable. The main is a 50MP sensor that captures an incredible amount of detail, even after significant cropping during post-processing. The periscope telephoto lens supports 3x and 6x optical zoom, though, at 6x, AI processing is quite prominent. 

What you should know before importing

Importing any of these phones is possible, but not always simple. You’ll want to research band compatibility carefully; not all models support the same 5G and LTE frequencies used in the US, which means you might end up with slower data speeds or limited coverage.

The Huawei devices in particular require workarounds for apps that rely on Google services. And warranty support? You’re largely on your own. But if you’ve ever looked at what’s available at your carrier and thought this is it? Now you know there’s a lot more out there. Just not here.

The post 6 flagship smartphones that you can’t buy in the US appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo has officially launched the Oppo Find X9 Ultra in India, nearly a month after the phone first debuted in China. As you might know, this is a camera-first flagship with all the bells and whistles you expect from a premium 2026 smartphone. 

Oppo Find X9 Ultra Specifications

The Find X9 Ultra comes with a 6.82-inch flat AMOLED display with QHD+ resolution (3168 x 1440 pixels). The panel supports a 1Hz to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, while also being capable of reaching 144Hz in supported scenarios. Oppo is also offering Dolby Vision support and up to 1800 nits peak brightness.

Powering the phone is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. The phone runs Android 16 with ColorOS 16 on top.

The camera system is the biggest highlight of the Find X9 Ultra. On the back, the phone features a 200-megapixel Sony LYT-901 main sensor with OIS support. It is accompanied by a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera using the Sony LYT-600 sensor, a 50-megapixel 3x periscope telephoto lens, and another 50-megapixel 10x periscope telephoto camera. Oppo has also included a 3.2-megapixel multispectral sensor as part of the setup.

For selfies and video calls, the phone gets a 50-megapixel front-facing camera.

Moving from hardware, Oppo is using Hasselblad expertise for color tuning and image processing. The phone also supports advanced video recording options, including high-resolution recording and creator-focused tools.

Keeping the device running is a large 7050mAh battery with support for 100W wired SuperVOOC charging and 50W wireless charging. Despite the large battery, the phone measures 9.10mm in thickness and weighs up to 236 grams depending on the variant.

Other features include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, dual stereo speakers, an IR blaster, NFC, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 1, and Oppo’s new Snap Key feature. The phone is also IP68 and IP69 certified for water and dust resistance.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra arrives in India with dual periscope cameras and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo’s latest flagship phone, the Find X9 Ultra, is running into an unexpected camera issue just weeks after launch. Some users are reporting that white objects in videos sometimes end up looking pink or magenta, especially when using certain camera modes.

The issue started gaining attention on Chinese social platforms during the May Day holiday. Some users noticed white clouds appearing pink in recorded footage, while others showed examples where buildings, tiles, or clothing suddenly shifted color after switching zoom levels.

One clip circulating online shows the phone displaying a white building normally in the live preview, only for parts of it to turn noticeably pink when moving to 2x zoom. According to users, the problem seems to happen more often on the main and ultra-wide cameras. Switching to the telephoto lens apparently reduces or completely removes the tint in some situations.

People have also tried restarting the phone, but the issue keeps coming back, which points more toward image processing than hardware failure.

Oppo customer service has since acknowledged the problem and confirmed it is a known software bug affecting the Find X9 Ultra. The company says they have already identified the cause, and a fix is planned through an OTA update expected later this month.

The timing is not ideal for Oppo, especially since the Find X9 Ultra was marketed heavily around camera quality and Hasselblad color tuning. The phone launched with a strong focus on professional imaging features, so users spotting obvious color problems this early has naturally raised some concerns online.

To Oppo’s credit, the company seems to have responded fairly quickly. While there is still no broader public statement, customer support is already telling affected users that a software update is on the way.

Software bugs around camera tuning are not exactly rare on new flagship phones, particularly ones using aggressive computational photography.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra users report strange pink tint issue in videos appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo has confirmed that the Find X9s and Find X9 Ultra will launch in India on May 21. The new additions to the Find X9 lineup are heavily focused on photography, video recording and sustained flagship performance. Alongside upgraded Hasselblad camera systems, both devices also feature large silicon-carbon batteries and dedicated cooling technologies designed for extended camera use.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra focuses on long-range photography

The Find X9 Ultra introduces Oppo’s latest Hasselblad Master Camera System paired with the company’s LUMO Image Engine for computational photography enhancements. The device features a 200-megapixel primary camera, a 200-megapixel 3x telephoto camera, and a dedicated 50-megapixel 10x optical telephoto camera designed for long-range shooting.

Oppo says the phone uses an industry-first Quintuple Prism Periscope Structure, where incoming light is reflected five times internally before reaching the sensor. This allows the device to deliver an approximate 230mm equivalent focal length without making the camera module excessively large. The company says the setup prioritizes optical image capture before software processing to preserve more natural details at higher zoom levels.

The Find X9 Ultra also supports O-Log2 recording, ACES color workflows, custom 3D LUT integration, 8K 30fps video recording and 4K 120fps recording across both the primary and telephoto cameras. Powering the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset paired with OPPO’s Trinity Engine and a next-generation 3D Cryo-velocity Cooling System. The phone packs a 7050mAh silicon-carbon battery aimed at longer shooting endurance.

Oppo Find X9s brings flagship imaging in a slimmer body

The Find X9s comes with a triple 50-megapixel Hasselblad camera setup housed inside a slim 7.99mm body. It supports 4K 60fps Dolby Vision recording across all cameras and includes dual-video capture capabilities alongside AI-powered features through ColorOS 16.

The device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset built on a 3nm process. OPPO has also included an advanced vapor chamber cooling system with a 32,052.5mm² heat dissipation area and a 7025mAh silicon-carbon battery. To sum up, it is a toned-down version of the existing Find X9.

Pricing details for both models will be announced during the India launch event on May 21.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra with 10x optical zoom is launching on May 21 in India, Find X9s tags along appeared first on Gizmochina.

Since the beginning of this month, Oppo has been teasing the arrival of the Find X9 Ultra in India, but is yet to confirm the launch date. Most likely, the company may unveil it after its rival brand Vivo introduces the Vivo X300 Ultra tomorrow in India. Ahead of the expected launch this month, Oppo has now shared key details about the camera capabilities of the Find X9 Ultra.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra promises next-level smartphone zoom photography

The Oppo Find X9 Ultra introduces a redesigned periscope camera system that aims to deliver 10x optical zoom without increasing module size. At its core is the Industry-first Quintuple Prism Reflection Periscope Structure, where light is redirected multiple times within a compact 29mm space before reaching the 50-megapixel sensor. This design extends the optical path, enabling an approximate 230mm focal length while keeping the device slim.

To maintain image quality across this complex setup, Oppo has developed a refined optical path system that reduces stray light and preserves clarity. The device also integrates sensor shift stabilisation, which physically moves the sensor to counter hand movements at higher zoom levels. This helps in capturing stable shots even at extended zoom ranges.

The camera module is further refined through Triple Active Optical Alignment, a precision-based assembly process that ensures accurate positioning of the lens, prism, and sensor for consistent sharpness. The overall setup includes a 200-megapixel main camera with a Sony LYTIA 901 sensor, a 200-megapixel 3x telephoto lens for portraits and telemacro use, and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera. All lenses support 4K 60fps Dolby Vision recording, supported by an image engine focused on colour and detail refinement.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra launch date (rumored)

According to tipster Sanju Choudhary, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s could launch in India on May 15. Pricing is expected to be positioned above the Find X9 Pro, which is currently priced at Rs 1,09,999, with the Ultra variant likely to cost significantly more. The Find X9s, on the other hand, may start at around Rs 70,000.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra focuses on 10x optical zoom with redesigned periscope camera appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo has confirmed that the Find X9 Ultra and the more compact Find X9s are headed to India soon, bringing its latest flagship lineup to the market not long after their global debut. The move is notable, as Oppo is keeping the India rollout closely in sync this time instead of delaying availability by a few months.

The Find X9 series, which launched globally in late April, leans heavily into camera performance through Oppo’s continued partnership with Hasselblad. The Ultra model is clearly the centerpiece here.

The Find X9 Ultra comes with a quad-camera setup, including two 200MP sensors: one for the main camera and another for 3x telephoto. There is also a 50MP ultra-wide and a 50MP periscope telephoto offering up to 10x optical zoom, with digital zoom going much further. Oppo has also added extras like a multispectral sensor aimed at delivering more consistent color and detail.

Up front, there is a 50MP selfie camera, while the rest of the hardware stays firmly in flagship territory. The phone runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with 12GB or 16GB RAM and 256GB-1TB of fast UFS 4.1 storage. In the front, it packs a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. Battery capacity is on the higher side as well, with a 7,050mAh unit supporting 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.

The Find X9s is positioned as the smaller alternative. It features a 6.59-inch display and a triple 50MP camera setup, still tuned by Hasselblad. It is powered by the Dimensity 9500s and comes with a similarly large 7,025mAh battery, though charging is slightly lower at 80W.

Pricing has not been officially announced yet, but early expectations place the Ultra in the premium range, while the X9s should land closer to the upper mid-range segment. With the launch expected to be just weeks away, more details on pricing and availability should follow soon.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra vs iPhone 17 Pro Max: The Ultimate Flagship Battle appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo has finally taken the wraps off the Find X9 Ultra, and if you have been keeping up, you’ll know this isn’t just another all-purpose flagship. It’s a camera first, and a phone second.

In fact, the Find X9 Ultra is the only flagship in 2026 to pack not one but two 200-megapixel rear cameras. Nearly everything Oppo is doing here revolves around that idea.

Cameras and imaging system

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.

Video and creator-focused features

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.

Design and build

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.

Display and performance

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. 

Connectivity and extras

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.

Pricing and variants

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).

Pricing starts at $1,499, making it a premium investment for those who want the very best in smartphone technology.

Display

The phone features a 6.82-inch LTPO 2.0 AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a sharp 3216 × 1440 resolution. It is a 10-bit panel covering 100% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut, delivering vivid, accurate colours and a stunning contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1 for deep blacks and bright highlights.

Performance

Powering the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with either 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM for smooth, lag-free performance. Storage options of 512GB or 1TB use fast UFS 4.0 technology, giving you plenty of room for photos, videos, and apps.

Camera System

The Find X9 Ultra sports four rear cameras that set it apart from the competition. The main camera shoots at 200 megapixels, and the primary periscope telephoto also delivers 200MP, enabling sharp, detailed zoom shots. A second 50MP periscope telephoto adds further zoom range, while a 50MP ultra-wide lens covers landscapes and group shots. On the front, a 32MP Sony IMX615 sensor with an 81-degree field of view handles selfies capably.

The post OPPO Find X9 Ultra Global Pre-Order Starts at Giztop: Features & Price appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo is set to make the Find X9 Ultra official on April 21 — tomorrow — and at this point, there isn’t much left to guess. Thanks to official teasers, certification listings, and a steady flow of leaks, we are already well aware of the Find X9 Ultra in full.

As you might know, it’s a photography-first phone, but it still comes with the usual checklist of flagship features: a large battery, a high-refresh-rate display, and a top-end chipset.

Still, most of the conversation around the device comes back to the camera system. So let’s go through a roundup of the Oppo Find X9 Ultra to understand what it will offer in terms of cameras and other specs.

Cameras

Oppo’s collaboration with Hasselblad isn’t new, but this time it feels more integrated into the actual shooting experience. The company is introducing something called Hasselblad Master Mode 2.0.

The new mode is designed to deliver professional-grade photography with enhanced creative flexibility. This system introduces native film styles (Portra, 800T, TX400, XPAN), supports 16EV high dynamic range, and allows users to save up to 20 custom AI-powered presets. Not to forget, the system also supports RAW MAX and JPEG MAX across multiple focal lengths (14mm, 23mm, 46mm, 70mm, 140mm, 230mm).

As for the hardware, the Find X9 Ultra is expected to feature a quad-camera setup that includes two 200-megapixel sensors — one for the main camera and another for a 3x zoom lens.

Alongside that, there’s a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a separate 10x periscope telephoto lens. There’s also mention of a 3.2-megapixel multispectral sensor to help with color accuracy.

Here, the main sensor is said to be the Sony LYT-901, while the ultra-wide uses Sony’s LYT-600. The 3x zoom relies on an OmniVision OV52A sensor, and the 10x periscope uses a Samsung JN-series sensor.

On top of that, Oppo is reportedly working on an optional telephoto extender with 16 glass elements. For most people, the built-in 10x zoom can handle most scenarios, but those who need more reach can opt for the external kit. Oppo claims it can deliver up to 20x “optical-quality” zoom and a maximum of 120x digital zoom.

There’s also a redesigned prism structure in the telephoto system, which is said to improve long-distance shooting. Combined with optical calibration during manufacturing, Oppo seems to be focusing on consistency as much as raw zoom capability.

Design

The design of the Find X9 Ultra makes it clear what the phone is about. The back is dominated by a large circular camera module. Inside the circle are camera sensors arranged in a somewhat asymmetrical layout, sitting within a rounded rectangular island.

The rest of the back panel uses a leather-like texture with a dual-tone finish toward the bottom. It’s a small detail, but it likely helps with grip, especially on a device that weighs around 238 grams.

Color options are expected to include Velvet Sand Canyon (an orange finish), Earth Tundra (brown), and Polar Glacier (white). The top-tier 16GB + 1TB model may also come bundled with a special Hasselblad “Explorer Master Kit.”

There are also a couple of physical additions worth noting. The Find X9 Ultra has a “Quick Button” at the bottom right, which will be useful for shortcuts or quick camera access. Meanwhile, there’s a “Snap Key” at the top left for accessing AI features.

The rest of the flagship checklist

Beyond the camera, the Find X9 Ultra mostly follows the expected formula for a high-end Android phone. It’s likely to feature a 6.78-inch OLED display with a resolution of 3168 x 1440 pixels, along with a 144Hz refresh rate.

Powering the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. Configurations are expected to go up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, with satellite connectivity reserved for the top variant.

Keeping everything running is a 7,050mAh battery that is expected to support 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.

Other features include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, dual speakers, an IR blaster, and a full set of durability ratings — IP68, IP69, and IP69K. The phone will run ColorOS 16, based on Android 16.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra Roundup: Design, Display, Camera, Battery, and More appeared first on Gizmochina.

Just ahead of the global debut of the Find X9 Ultra, the company has shared more details about its updated Hasselblad partnership, and there are some noticeable changes.

A big part of that is Hasselblad Master Mode 2.0, which looks like a step up in terms of flexibility. It now supports both RAW MAX and JPG MAX, and works across multiple focal lengths, from 14mm all the way to 230mm. That should make it easier to shoot different kinds of scenes. Oppo is also talking about a 16EV dynamic range, which, at least on paper, should help with tricky lighting.

There’s also a bit more focus on the “look” of photos this time. The phone includes Hasselblad-inspired film styles, with names like Portra, 800T, and TX400. These are available directly in the camera app, so you don’t have to rely on editing later. There’s even an XPAN-style wide format mode, which is a bit niche, but interesting.

For those who like more control, manual adjustments are still there, along with AI-based presets that can save custom settings. Oppo says you can store up to 20 of these, which could be useful if you tend to shoot in similar conditions.

On the hardware side, the setup is just as ambitious. The Find X9 Ultra is expected to feature a quad-camera system, including a 200MP main sensor, another 200MP sensor for 3x zoom, a 10x periscope lens, and a 50MP ultra-wide. It’s a lot on paper, and clearly aimed at people who care about zoom and versatility.

The official launch is set for April 21, so we won’t have to wait long to see how all of this comes together in real use.

The Oppo Find X9 Ultra is expected to go official on April 21 across multiple markets, including China. Ahead of the launch, the device briefly appeared on China Telecom’s database (via). While the listing has now been removed, it revealed several key specifications and design details, as seen in screenshots circulating online.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra specifications (rumored)

As per the listing, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra will feature a 6.78-inch OLED display with a resolution of 3168 x 1440 pixels. Reports claim it may support a 144Hz refresh rate. For security, the phone is likely to include an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor and run on ColorOS 16 based on Android 16.

Under the hood, the handset is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. It is expected to be paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. The battery capacity is listed at 7,050mAh, with reports suggesting support for 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.

For imaging, the phone may feature a 50-megapixel front camera. On the rear, it will have a 200-megapixel + 50-megapixel + 200-megapixel + 50-megapixel quad-camera setup. A 3.2-megapixel multispectral sensor is also said to be part of the setup.

Reports have revealed that the setup includes a 200-megapixel Sony LYT-901 primary sensor, a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 ultra-wide lens, a 200-megapixel OmniVision OV52A periscope unit with 3x zoom, and a 50-megapixel Samsung JNL periscope offering 10x zoom.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra full specifications, images emerge via premature listing appeared first on Gizmochina.

Reports have revealed that one of the periscope telephoto cameras of the forthcoming Oppo Find X9 Ultra will offer up to 10x optical zoom. Like its previous generation, the company is expected to offer more powerful zooming capabilities by providing an optional Hasselblad telephoto extender system. Recently, Oppo Find Series product manager Zhuo Shijie shared the details about Find X9 Ultra’s telephoto extender.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra promises a top-notch photography experience

According to Oppo Find Series product manager Zhuo Shijie, the idea of a “complete telephoto experience” begins with something that is always available. As mentioned above, the Find X9 Ultra is said to feature an integrated 10x optical zoom telephoto lens, developed in collaboration with Hasselblad. This built-in system is designed to capture moments instantly without requiring any additional accessories.

He explained that most real-life moments are fleeting, and users should not have to depend on external gear. Whether it is shooting sports or distant portraits, the built-in telephoto aims to deliver detailed output with a refined colour tone inspired by Hasselblad imaging.

For users who seek higher optical performance, Oppo is also working on an external telephoto kit. Unlike typical add-ons, this is positioned as a full-fledged optical system. It reportedly uses 16 precision glass elements to improve light intake and overall image clarity.

The external module is said to match the finish and design standards of Hasselblad lenses, offering a more premium and durable feel. When combined with the phone’s internal telephoto camera, especially the mid-range zoom lens, this setup is expected to deliver a higher level of image quality.

This dual approach reflects Oppo’s attempt to balance convenience and professional-grade performance. The built-in lens covers everyday needs, while the external kit caters to specialised use cases where maximum optical precision matters.

The post Top 5 upcoming smartphone launches in April 2026 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo is gearing up to unveil the Find X9 Ultra next month, and the phone has already entered its pre-launch phase. As part of the buildup, the company has started sharing early details about its hardware.

The latest reveal focuses on the camera. Oppo confirmed today that the Find X9 Ultra will feature a new Hasselblad-branded 10x optical telephoto lens. The company describes the setup in unusually direct terms, comparing it to “putting a teleconverter inside a smartphone.

On paper, the system supports native 10x optical zoom, 20x “optical quality” zoom, and up to 120x digital zoom. 

Zhuo Shijie, who leads the Find series, says this is a technical milestone. He says that while smartphone makers have steadily improved zoom over the years, fitting a true 10x optical system into a thin and light body hasn’t really been done before. 

Oppo is crossing that line with Find X9 Ultra.

How Oppo is fitting a 10x optical zoom telephoto in Find X9 Ultra?

To make this possible, the company is using a new periscope design built around what it calls a five-reflection architecture. Oppo says this architecture helps achieve an equivalent focal length of 460mm, while still keeping the phone relatively slim. 

There’s also a fair amount of engineering behind the scenes. Oppo says it developed a way to precisely cut the internal prism at a nanometer scale, creating an “ultra-high purity air aperture.” This lets cleaner light pass through while reducing stray light that can degrade image quality.

On the manufacturing side, Oppo is using something called Active Optical Alignment (AOA). This process dynamically adjusts the position of the lens and sensor during production, followed by multiple rounds of calibration. This way, each unit performs closer to lab conditions rather than varying from device to device.

The camera system is paired with a custom 50-megapixel sensor and Oppo’s LUMO imaging engine. Together, they’re meant to handle high-resolution shots at long distances, while also improving dynamic range. The company also says it has tuned the microlens and color filters specifically for telephoto use.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra will support native 10x “optical” zoom, here are first camera samples appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo is scheduled to unveil the Vivo X300 Ultra on March 30 in China. This will be followed by the Oppo Find X9 Ultra’s launch in April. These devices will compete with the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, which debuted back in December in China. Reports suggest that the photography capabilities of the X300 Ultra and Find X9 Ultra could be better than the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, but Xiaomi may have a pricing advantage over these rivals.

Vivo X300 Ultra, Find X9 Ultra to be priced higher than Xiaomi 17 Ultra

Tipster Experience More suggests that the upcoming ultra-flagship smartphones, expected to include the Vivo X300 Ultra launching this month in China and the Oppo Find X9 Ultra arriving next month, will see noticeable price increases. Due to rising storage costs, both devices are tipped to be priced significantly higher than the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, with an estimated increase of around 500 yuan (~$70) for comparable variants.

The tipster adds that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra’s early-mover advantage was largely due to its pricing. In hindsight, the 500 yuan to 700 yuan price increase over the Xiaomi 15 Ultra now seems relatively minor, especially as upcoming ultra-flagships like the Vivo X300 Ultra and Oppo Find X9 Ultra are expected to launch at noticeably higher prices due to rising storage costs.

To recall, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra has been available in China in three versions, such as 12GB+512GB, 16GB+512GB, and 16GB+1TB. These variants are priced at 6,999 Yuan (~$1,020), 7,499 Yuan (~$1,080), and 8,499 Yuan (~$1,235), respectively.

With the Vivo X300 Ultra expected to cost 500 yuan more than the 17 Ultra, it is likely that its 12GB+512GB version could be priced at around 7,500 Yuan (~$1,090).

In April, Oppo is expected to announce the Oppo Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s Pro in China. It is also being said that there could be a dedicated launch event in Q2 for the Find X9 Ultra’s global debut. Well ahead of the launch, a new report from Nixanbal has revealed almost everything about the X9 Ultra.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra specifications (rumored)

According to the report, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra will feature a larger display than the Find X9 Pro model. The device is expected to include a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED ProXDR panel with a resolution of 3120 x 1440 pixels.

The smartphone is likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. The processor will be paired with Oppo’s Trinity Engine for performance optimisation. The report suggests that the handset could ship with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.

One of the most notable aspects of the Find X9 Ultra could be its camera hardware. The rear camera setup is said to include four primary sensors, led by a 200-megapixel main camera. It may also feature a 200-megapixel periscope camera with 3x optical zoom, along with another 50-megapixel periscope lens offering 10x optical zoom. A 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera is also expected to be part of the system.

In addition to these sensors, the device may include a dedicated True Color Camera designed to improve colour accuracy. Oppo is expected to continue its collaboration with Hasselblad, and the smartphone could include an upgraded Hasselblad Master Mode along with other photography features inspired by professional cameras.

For selfies, the Find X9 Ultra is tipped to feature a 50-megapixel front camera. The device may pack a 7050mAh battery with support for up to 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.

The design is said to include a metal frame combined with elements of artificial leather on the back panel. It may measure between 8.65mm and 9.1mm in thickness depending on the version, while the weight could range between 235 grams and 236 grams. The phone is also expected to carry IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.

The post Huawei Pura 90 series, Pura X2, Oppo Find X9 Ultra all tipped to launch in April appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Oppo Find X9 Ultra is expected to be announced soon, though we are still waiting for when and where. Luckily, leaks have already revealed much of what to expect from the phone’s hardware. A new tip from Digital Chat Station today further confirms the rumored specs.

According to the latest details, the main camera is expected to use a 200-megapixel Sony LYTIA 901 sensor with optical image stabilization. The sensor reportedly measures 1/1.12 inches. The device is also expected to include a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera using Samsung’s JN5 sensor.

On the front, the device is expected to feature a 50-megapixel autofocus selfie camera.

The display, according to the leak, will likely be a 6.82-inch flat OLED panel with 2K resolution, likely with a 120Hz refresh rate.

What else can you expect?

Inside, the phone is rumored to run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. The software is expected to be ColorOS 16 running on top of Android 16.

The Find X9 Ultra is expected to feature a 7,050mAh battery. That’s slightly smaller than the 7,500mAh unit on the Pro model but still larger than the battery found in the previous Oppo Find X8 Ultra, which has a 6,100mAh cell. Charging speeds are said to reach 80W wired and 50W wireless.

There are also hints of a special “Master Kit” configuration with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, possibly paired with exclusive design elements. However, the leak doesn’t go into detail about what those changes might be.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra camera leaks in detail ahead of launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last week, Oppo confirmed that the Oppo Find X9 Ultra will be released globally. Now, in a new development, the device, along with the Find X9s, has passed the NBTC certification in Thailand. Although these devices have been spotted before, the NBTC listings have confirmed their monikers for the first time.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra, Find X9s NBTC certified

The Oppo Find X9 Ultra with model number CPH2841 and the Find X9sv with model number CPH2873 have been approved by Thailand’s NBTC. As usual, the NBTC listings have not revealed anything about their specifications.

Both model numbers have previously appeared on Indonesia’s TKDN and SDPPI certification platforms. The Find X9s was also approved by India’s BIS authority back in January.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra, Find X9s: What to expect?

The Find X9 Ultra is expected to deliver an ultimate photography experience and rival the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and the upcoming Vivo X300 Ultra. This Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset-powered phone is expected to pack a quad-camera setup featuring a 200-megapixel Sony LYT-901 main camera, a 200-megapixel OmniVision OV52A periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 periscope telephoto camera with 10x optical zoom, and a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 ultra-wide camera with a 15mm focal length.

The X9 Ultra is also expected to house a 6.82-inch OLED 2K 120Hz screen and a battery of around 7,000mAh capacity. It is expected to support 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.

The Find X9s could be a toned-down version of the existing Find X9. It will be one of the early adopters of the Dimensity 9500s chip and is likely to lack wireless charging. It will have a triple 50-megapixel camera setup on the back, but the camera sensors may not be the same as the X9. The rest of the specs could be identical between both phones.

This could be accompanied by a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 periscope telephoto camera with 10x optical zoom and 230mm focal length.

For the primary camera, the X9 Ultra may feature the all-new 200-megapixel Sony LYT-901 primary camera with a 23mm focal length. It could be coupled with a 15mm 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 ultra-wide lens. For selfies, it may feature a Samsung JN5 50-megapixel camera with autofocus support.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra launch timeframe

Apart from the camera upgrades, the phone is expected to feature a 2K display along with balanced flagship hardware across other areas. However, the biggest highlight remains the upgraded telephoto system aimed at improving long-range photography.

As for the launch timeline, reports indicate that Oppo may introduce the Find X9 Ultra in China around April this year, possibly alongside the Find X9s Pro. The global debut could follow later in the second quarter, where it may launch together with the Find X9s series.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra’s dual periscope telpehoto camera details emerge again, up to 10x zoom tipped appeared first on Gizmochina.

While Oppo is expected to unveil the Oppo Find N6 later this month in China, April could see the arrival of the Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s Pro. Last month, the X9s Pro was approved by China’s 3C certification platform, and now, in a new development, the X9 Ultra has also received the same approval. Here’s a look at the details that have surfaced through the certification.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra 3C certified

As can be seen above, an upcoming Oppo phone with model number PMA110 has received approval from the 3C authority. This device is said to carry the Oppo Find X9 Ultra branding when it hits the market.

The certification reveals that the Find X9 Ultra may ship with a 100W charger. This device appears to be the regular version, whereas the company is also expected to announce a satellite communication edition. Rumors suggest that it will also have support for 50W wireless charging.

Oppo has also confirmed that the Find X9 Ultra will be released globally. Rumors suggest that it may hit the global market in the second quarter of this year. Reports have revealed that the X9 Ultra will feature a Hasselblad-tuned 200-megapixel (main) + 50-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 200-megapixel (3x periscope) + 50-megapixel (periscope) quad-camera setup.

For selfies, it will have a 50-megapixel front-facing camera. It may feature a 6.82-inch OLED 2K 120Hz screen, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, and a 7,550mAh battery.

Oppo Find X9s Pro and Find X9s incoming

The Dimensity 9500-powered Find X9s Pro phone, which is expected to feature dual 200-megapixel cameras along with a 50-megapixel sensor, is said to remain exclusive to the Chinese market. However, the global market is likely to receive another model named the Find X9s.

The Find X9s, which is confirmed to feature the Dimensity 9500s chip, could be a toned-down version of the existing Find X9. Compared to the X9, the X9s is likely to feature different cameras and lack support for wireless charging. It is unclear whether this device will be released in China.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra global launch confirmed; Oppo says it is your next camera appeared first on Gizmochina.

For the past few years, Vivo has launched its Ultra-branded flagship around a month after Oppo’s Ultra offering in China. However, this year may be different, as reliable tipster Digital Chat Station claims that the Vivo X300 Ultra will debut before the Oppo Find X9 Ultra. Here’s a look at when these devices are expected to hit the Chinese market.

Vivo X300 Ultra, Find X9 Ultra launch time frame (rumored)

DCS revealed that the Vivo X300 Ultra will be announced in March, which could be in the second half of the month. He claims that this Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered phone will feature the world’s first 200-megapixel Sony LYT-901 primary camera. It is also said to include a 3.5x periscope telephoto lens using a 200-megapixel Samsung HPB sensor, along with what is described as the strongest ultra-wide camera in the smartphone industry.

According to previous reports, this ultra-wide camera will be powered by the 50-megapixel Sony LYT-828 sensor. The setup is also expected to feature a 5-megapixel multispectral lens. The X300 Ultra is also expected to debut as the world’s first flagship phone equipped with dual 200-megapixel cameras.

Oppo Find N6 and Find X9 Ultra launch timeframe (rumored)

DCS claims that March will also see the arrival of the Oppo Find N6 foldable phone. A recent report revealed that it is slated to debut on March 17. He also mentioned that the Find X9 Ultra will be announced in April.

While it is not mentioned in the leak, there is a possibility that the vivo X300 Ultra could be accompanied by the Vivo X300 Max, and the Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s Pro may debut together in April.

Interestingly, both Ultra editions are also said to be heading to the global market in the coming months. While the X9 Ultra has not yet appeared on any global certification platform, the vivo X300 Ultra has already been approved in Indonesia and Europe, possibly hinting at a global launch in the second quarter of this year.

The post Vivo X300 Ultra to debut in March with world-first Sony 200MP camera, Oppo Find X9 Ultra to follow in April appeared first on Gizmochina.

A recent leak from a well-known tipster, Digital Chat Station, pits the Oppo Find X9 Ultra and the Vivo X300 Ultra well ahead of their launches. As expected, both are camera-first phones, and the leak focuses almost entirely on that.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra vs Vivo X300 Ultra Camera Specifications

Starting with Oppo, the Find X9 Ultra reportedly will have strong telephoto performance. According to the leak, it will feature a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with a large 1/1.28-inch sensor. That would be paired with a 50-megapixel 10x periscope telephoto lens. 

Apart from this, the phone is expected to include a 200MP main and a 50MP ultrawide camera. The leak also points to a sizable 7,000mAh battery.

Meanwhile, Vivo X300 Ultra will feature a triple rear camera setup with a 200MP 200-megapixel custom 35mm main camera with a larger 1/1.12-inch sensor, alongside a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera with a 1/1.28-inch sensor.

Its telephoto is expected to be a 200MP unit allowing optical zoom from around 35mm up to 85mm. It will also have a custom multispectral sensor in the 5-megapixel range. 

Per the leak, Vivo is also putting effort into end-to-end color science and improved video capabilities. Last but not least, both devices are rumored to support new external teleconverters.

For now, though, these details remain unconfirmed. Neither Oppo nor Vivo has officially shared specifications. Both phones are expected to launch in China sometime after the Chinese New Year.

We do hope both Oppo and Vivo plan a wider global release for these upcoming phones. That is because neither the Oppo Find X8 Ultra nor the Vivo X200 Ultra made it to the global market.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra and Vivo X300 Ultra camera hardware surface in new leak appeared first on Gizmochina.

In March, Oppo is expected to unveil the company’s ultimate flagship phone — the Find X9 Ultra. So far, reports have revealed many details about its core specifications, but some information has yet to surface. In a recent X post, tipster Yogesh Brar mentioned the X9 Ultra’s display refresh rate and battery size.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra battery size tipped

Previous reports have revealed that the Find X9 Ultra will feature a 6.82-inch flat OLED panel that supports a 2K resolution, similar to the previous generation. However, its screen refresh rate had not appeared in any leaks. Brar claims that the X9 Ultra’s EVT (Engineering Validation Test) unit supports a 144Hz refresh rate. He believes the retail unit will likely support a 120Hz refresh rate.

Another detail that had remained unclear about the Find X9 Ultra is its battery size. Oppo has previously claimed that it won’t launch a flagship phone without a 7,000mAh battery, which suggests that the X9 Ultra would pack a similarly sized battery. The tipster mentioned that the X9 Ultra will house a 7,050mAh battery.

This indicates that the Find X9 Ultra’s battery will be smaller than the Find X9 Pro, which packs a larger 7,500mAh battery. The X9 Ultra’s rumored battery is still larger than the Find X8 Ultra, which houses a 6,100mAh battery. Reports suggest that the X9 Ultra will arrive with support for 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.

As per reports, the Find X9 Ultra will feature a 200MP (main) + 50MP (ultra-wide) + 200MP (3x periscope) + 50MP (periscope) quad-camera setup and a 50MP front camera. Under the hood, it is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and run on ColorOS 16 based on Android 16.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra battery size finally emerges in a new leak appeared first on Gizmochina.

The upcoming Oppo Find X9 Ultra has appeared in a real-life image. However, since it is inside a confidentiality case, it does not reveal its design completely, but it does give a good idea about its camera layout. Also, there are two handsets shown in the image, but it is unclear whether they are two different prototypes of the X9 Ultra or if only one of them is the X9 Ultra.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra real-life image

The handset that can be seen on the right has more openings, which suggests that it could be the Find X9 Ultra. The image also suggests that the Ultra variant will continue to feature a round camera module, while the X9 and X9 Pro have opted for camera islands positioned at the top-left corner.

The Find X9 Ultra’s camera setup is rumored to include a Sony LYT-901 200MP main camera with OIS support, a Samsung JN5 50MP ultra-wide lens, a 200MP OmniVision OV52A periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and a Samsung JN5 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 10x optical zoom. A previous report revealed that the brand may offer a new teleconverter accessory with a 300mm reach for the X9 Ultra.

The Find X9 and X9 Pro are powered by the Dimensity 9500 chip, whereas the Ultra variant will come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. It is expected to feature a 6.82-inch 2K 120Hz AMOLED screen and a battery of around 7,000mAh with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging support.

Oppo is expected to hold a launch event next month (March) in China to unveil the Find X9 Ultra alongside the Find X9s and X9s Pro. The Find N6 foldable is also expected in March, but it is unclear whether it will debut alongside the upcoming X9 lineup. The X9 Ultra is also expected to hit the global market in the second quarter of this year.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra appears in a real-life image, reveals camera layout appeared first on Gizmochina.

A couple of new Oppo phones have received SRRC (State Radio Regulation of China) certification. These include the Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s series phones. At the same time, these devices have also been approved by the country’s UFCS (Universal Fast Charging Specification) certification. These certifications suggest that the Find series may debut soon after the upcoming Chinese New Year holidays.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra, Find X9s, Find X9s Pro bag fresh certifications

The Oppo PMA110 phone, which is believed to be the Find X9 Ultra, has received SRRC certification. For those who are unaware, it is a mandatory certification issued by China’s radio regulatory authority to approve wireless devices that use radio frequencies. It confirms that a device complies with China’s spectrum regulations, covering features like cellular connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other radio transmission functions before commercial sale. After this, the Find X9 Ultra is expected to bag 3C and TENAA certifications before going official.

The PMA110 model is also listed with the PMA120 variant in the UFCS database. The PMA120 will support satellite connectivity. For those unfamiliar, UFCS is a unified fast-charging standard developed mainly by Chinese manufacturers (including OPPO, Vivo, Xiaomi, Huawei, and others). Its goal is to create a cross-brand fast charging protocol so chargers and devices from different brands can safely deliver fast charging without proprietary restrictions.

Earlier this week, the PME110 Oppo phone was approved by SRRC. Now, the authority has also certified PHM110. These devices are said to be part of the Find X9s series, which may include two devices: the Find X9s and Find X9s Pro. At present, it is not clear which model numbers correspond to which device.

The PHM110 variant has also bagged UFCS certification, which suggests that it could be the Find X9s Pro, whereas the PME110 without UFCS certification could be the Find X9s. It is advisable to wait for further reports to confirm their final monikers.

The Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s series phones are expected to debut together through a launch event in March in China. It is unclear whether the Oppo Find N6 will be announced at the same platform or separately.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra, two Find X9s models bag major certifications, launch imminent appeared first on Gizmochina.

We are nearing the end of January 2026, and already, a few phones have debuted. Some of the trends expected to be seen on phones this year include improved AI experiences, larger silicon-carbon batteries—with some brands already launching 10,000mAh and 9,000mAh battery phones—higher refresh rate displays, with some even expected to exceed the 200Hz mark, and more. One trend that is expected to be widely adopted by different smartphone brands is the 200-megapixel camera, with some even rumoured to offer dual 200-megapixel cameras.

Knowing the current 200MP sensors

There are a couple of existing and upcoming 200MP sensors, which include:

Samsung ISOCELL HP5

Launched in October 2025, the Samsung ISOCELL HP5 200-megapixel sensor has been made available on mid-range, mid-premium, and flagship phones since the latter half of 2025. On mid-tier phones like the Vivo V60e or performance-focused flagships like the iQOO Z11 Turbo, this 200-megapixel sensor is coupled with an ultra-wide camera. On mid-premium phones and flagships, it is paired with more powerful ultra-wide and telephoto cameras.

Samsung HPB (Custom Samsung ISOCELL HP9 variant)

The Samsung HPB is Vivo’s customized version of the existing Samsung ISOCELL HP9 sensor, which was launched in 2024. The Vivo X300 and X300 Pro are the only phones to feature this sensor so far. In the future as well, it is expected to remain exclusive to Vivo smartphones.

There are Samsung HP3 and HP2 200-megapixel cameras as well, but those are not expected to be widely used in 2026.

OmniVision OV52A

The upcoming OmniVision OV52A 200-megapixel camera sensor, which is reportedly built on a 40nm process, is a 1/2.8-inch sensor. Since it does not use AON (Alternating Optical Array), it is said to consume less power than the flagship-grade 50-megapixel OV50Q sensor. The OV52A is expected to appear on mid-range and even higher-end phones in 2026.

Sony LYT-901

Sony has already launched the Sony LYT-901 sensor, and it is expected to be seen on premium flagships this year. It is a 1/1.12-inch 200-megapixel stacked CMOS smartphone image sensor with 0.7µm pixels, Quad-Quad Bayer Coding, on-sensor AI remosaicing, all-pixel AF, and up to 4× in-sensor zoom.

Next, let’s have a look at all the 200-megapixel camera phones that are expected to launch this year.

All the 200MP camera phones (existing)

Vivo and iQOO

Starting October 2025, the 200-megapixel camera trend picked up by being made available on mid-range phones such as the Vivo V60e (globally available) and Vivo Y500 Pro (confined to China). Both phones feature the Samsung HP5 200-megapixel camera.

The Samsung HPB is available as the primary sensor on the Vivo X300, whereas the X300 Pro uses it for its periscope telephoto camera.

The recently unveiled iQOO Z11 Turbo is also equipped with the Samsung HP5 200-megapixel camera.

Oppo

The Oppo Find X9 Pro is equipped with a 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 periscope telephoto camera in its triple camera setup.

The Oppo Reno 15 series, including the Reno 15 and Reno 15 Pro, which have debuted, are also equipped with the same sensor.

Globally, the Reno 15 Pro / Reno 15 Pro Mini / Reno 15 Pro Max, which are the same phones with different branding for different markets, feature a 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 sensor. The global version of the Reno 15 also uses the same sensor.

Realme

The Realme GT 8 Pro is equipped with the Samsung HP5 as the primary sensor. This sensor is also available as the primary camera on the Realme 16 Pro and 16 Pro+.

Honor

The Honor Magic 8 Pro flagship phone features the Samsung HP9. The Honor 500 and 500 Pro, which are currently available only in China, feature the Samsung HP3 200-megapixel camera sensor.

Samsung

The Galaxy Z TriFold, which is Samsung’s first tri-foldable phone, features the Samsung HP2 200-megapixel camera sensor.

Xiaomi

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra, Redmi Note 15 Pro (global), and Redmi Note 15 Pro+ (global) are equipped with the 200-megapixel Samsung HPE sensor, which is reportedly based on the Samsung HP3. The Redmi Note 15 Pro series’ Chinese editions feature a 50-megapixel main camera.

Next, let’s have a look at all the upcoming 200MP camera phones.

All the 200MP camera phones (upcoming)

Following is the rumored list of upcoming 200-megapixel camera phones:

Oppo

The Oppo Find N6 is expected to feature a 200-megapixel camera, which could be used for the periscope telephoto camera. The exact camera sensor is not known.

The Find X9s is tipped to feature a pair of 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 sensors in its triple camera setup.

The Find X9 Ultra will feature a quad-camera setup, which will include a 200-megapixel Sony LYT-901 main camera and a 200-megapixel OmniVision OV52A periscope telephoto camera.

These phones are expected to debut in March in China. The Find N6 and Find X9 Ultra are also poised to launch globally soon after.

Vivo

Apart from the Oppo Find N6, the Vivo X300 Ultra is another flagship phone expected to feature dual 200-megapixel cameras powered by the Sony LYT-901 and Samsung HPB sensors.

The Vivo X300s, which may launch alongside the Ultra variant, may feature a 200-megapixel Samsung HPB sensor.

Both phones are rumored to launch around March or April this year in China. The X300s may remain China-exclusive for some time, while the X300 Ultra may debut globally soon after.

Honor

The Honor Magic V6 foldable phone is also expected to feature a 200-megapixel camera. It will be showcased at MWC 2026.

Samsung

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, expected to launch by the end of February, and the Galaxy Z Fold 8, which may debut by mid-2026, are also expected to feature 200-megapixel primary cameras, similar to their previous generations.

Other upcoming 200MP phones

The Honor 600, Honor 600 Pro, Redmi Note 16 Pro+ (China), Oppo Find X10, and OnePlus 16, arriving later this year, are all rumored to feature 200-megapixel primary cameras.

The post Every 200MP smartphone launching in 2026, including models with dual 200MP cameras appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Oppo Find X9 Ultra has recently been spotted taking photos while attached to its imaging kit. Finally, we’re getting a proper look at the flagship itself, courtesy of images published by SmartPrix.

We can see the Oppo Find X9 Ultra in black and a two-tone black-and-silver finish. Besides this, the phone is also said to be available in a vibrant orange variant. Unsurprisingly, there are some bold design choices on display here.

Oppo will reportedly sell the flagship in a classic all-glass version as well as finishes that mix glass, metal, and faux leather. The two-part back panel design is immediately noticeable, too.

The camera module is particularly bizarre

What I find particularly interesting, though, is the camera module. The circular housing spans almost the entire width of the smartphone and covers a large portion of the back panel. It looks genuinely massive by smartphone standards and unmistakably signals what this phone is all about.

This is a camera phone, after all. The Find X9 Ultra is said to feature a 200MP Sony LYT-901 sensor with a large f/1.5 aperture. There’s also a 50MP ultra-wide camera using Samsung’s JN5 sensor. 

Rounding out the setup are two telephoto cameras: a 200MP OmniVision sensor with 3x optical zoom and a 50MP Sony LYT600 sensor offering 10x optical zoom, enabling up to 13.2x optical zoom overall.

On the specifications side, the Find X9 Ultra is expected to feature a 6.82-inch 2K flat AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Powering the device is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with ColorOS 16 based on Android 16. Oppo is also reportedly fitting the phone with a large 7,300mAh battery.

As always with leaks, none of this is official yet. But all the leak points that Oppo Find X9 Ultra will be among the best camera phones of 2026.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra surfaces with a camera module that dominates the back appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Oppo Find X9 Ultra is expected to launch soon in China, and fresh leaked images are beginning to offer a clearer idea of what the device may bring. These images primarily highlight an upgraded teleconverter accessory, suggesting a noticeable improvement over the one available for the Find X9 Pro.

Find X9 Ultra: Bigger teleconverter and long-range photography focus

The leaked images indicate that the Oppo Find X9 Ultra will support a redesigned external teleconverter accessory and show the device being tested outdoors with the attachment fitted, suggesting Oppo is refining real-world performance. Unlike the Find X9 Pro’s optional 3.28x teleconverter, the larger new unit for the X9 Ultra is said to deliver 4.28x optical magnification, translating to an effective 300mm focal length.

The accessory itself looks larger and more complex than before, reportedly featuring additional optical elements. This setup is expected to work in tandem with a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, allowing users to capture detailed shots with true optical depth rather than relying heavily on digital cropping.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra specifications (rumored)

Leaks suggest that the Find X9 Ultra will retain a dual periscope telephoto configuration. Apart from the 200-megapixel OmniVision OV52A periscope telephoto camera, which will offer 3x optical zoom, the second periscope camera is tipped to be a 50-megapixel unit supporting 10x optical zoom.

The rest of the camera setup is expected to include a 200-megapixel Sony LYT-901 main camera, a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 ultra-wide lens, and a dedicated multispectral sensor for improved color accuracy. Both the main and telephoto cameras are said to support optical image stabilization. For selfies, it may feature a 50-megapixel front camera with autofocus support.

Beyond cameras, the Find X9 Ultra is rumored to feature a 6.82-inch 2K AMOLED flat display, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, ColorOS 16, full-level dust and water resistance, and a battery exceeding 7,000mAh with fast wired and wireless charging. The phone is expected to debut in China around March. It is also likely to launch in other markets.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra leaked images reveal 4.28x teleconverter with 300mm reach appeared first on Gizmochina.

A recent leak revealed that the Oppo Find X9 Ultra will debut as the world’s first smartphone equipped with dual 200-megapixel cameras. So far, it is expected that one of them will be the recently unveiled Sony LYT-901 sensor powering the primary camera. However, the details of the other 200-megapixel sensor were not known. Now, a new leak reveals that it will be powered by a new OmniVision camera sensor.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra camera specifications (rumored)

According to a Chinese tech blogger, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra’s primary camera uses a 23mm lens paired with a 200-megapixel Sony LYT-901 sensor with a large 1/1.12-inch size. It is accompanied by a 15mm ultra-wide lens with a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 sensor sized at 1/2.76-inch.

The key highlight of this leak is the inclusion of a 70mm mid-range telephoto camera on the Find X9 Ultra, featuring the new 200-megapixel OmniVision OV52A sensor with a 1/1.28-inch size.

The camera system also includes a 230mm periscope telephoto lens for long-range zoom, which uses a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 sensor measuring 1/2.76-inch. In addition, the setup is supported by a third-generation Danxia multispectral lens, designed to improve colour accuracy and maintain consistent colour reproduction across different focal lengths.

While it is not mentioned in the leak, the device is likely to feature a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 front-facing camera with autofocus support.

Other reports have revealed that the Find X9 Ultra will have a 6.82-inch AMOLED 2K 120Hz screen and a large battery of around 7,000mAh capacity. It is expected to support 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. Under the hood, it will have the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. Reports also suggest that it could be Oppo’s first Ultra-branded phone to be released in the global market. While it is expected to hit the Chinese market in March, its global launch could take place in the second quarter of this year.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra’s detailed camera specs leak reveals a new 200MP OmniVision periscope sensor appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo has couple of new devices lined up for Q1 2026 launch in China. A recent Weibo post by tipster Smart Pikachu sheds light on when the upcoming Find N6 foldable and the camera-centric Find X9 Ultra are expected to arrive.

Oppo Find N6 could arrive ahead of the Lunar New Year

According to the tipster, both devices are now on a fast-track development timeline. The Oppo Find N6 is said to be targeting a launch before the Lunar New Year 2026, which begins on February 17. If this plan holds, the foldable could be announced sometime in January, allowing Oppo to complete the launch well before the annual holiday slowdown in China.

If launched within this window, the Find N6 would likely become the first Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 -powered foldable smartphone to debut in 2026, giving Oppo an early start in the next-generation foldable segment. The Find N5 did not release in India, but a recent report claimed that the company has started testing it in the country.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra tipped for a March debut

The Oppo Find X9 Ultra, meanwhile, is expected to follow a different timeline. The tipster claims that the phone is currently pencilled in for a March 2026 unveiling. Camera hardware is once again expected to be its main highlight, with reports pointing to a five-camera system that includes two 200-megapixel sensors. While the tipster did not specify it, the penta-setup may also factor in a multispectral sensor.

While the post does not explicitly confirm companion devices, earlier reports indicate that Oppo could introduce additional models alongside the Find X9 Ultra. These may include the Find X9s and Find X9s+. The Find X9s is rumored to be a smaller flagship powered by the forthcoming Dimensity 9500 Plus chipset, while the X9s+ could serve as a refreshed version of the current Find X9.

At this stage, it remains unclear whether the X9s variants will be released outside China. However, industry chatter suggests that the Find X9 Ultra could see a wider, possibly global rollout, marking a first for the Ultra series.

As with all leaks, these timelines should be taken with caution until Oppo makes an official announcement.

Recent reports have claimed that the upcoming Vivo X300 Ultra will be the only phone with dual 200-megapixel cameras. However, a new leak that has surfaced suggests that Oppo has revised the Find X9 Ultra’s camera setup, and it is now tipped to feature dual 200-megapixel cameras.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra’s revised camera specs leaked

According to a new leak shared by Digital Chat Station, the Find X9 Ultra is reportedly equipped with a dual 200-megapixel camera system, marking a first for the segment. The primary camera is described as a 200-megapixel super-large sensor with light intake claimed to surpass that of current one-inch class sensors. This suggests Oppo may be prioritizing sensor area efficiency and optics to improve real-world imaging, especially in challenging lighting conditions.

The leak further claims that the phone will include two periscope cameras. One is a 200-megapixel mid-range periscope telephoto designed for high-quality lossless zoom at moderate focal lengths.

The second is a dedicated ultra-long-range periscope offering 10x optical zoom, reportedly built around a 50-megapixel sensor. If accurate, this would make it the only smartphone camera system with native 10x optical zoom at this level, targeting both distant subjects and close-range photography without heavy digital cropping.

Earlier reports had suggested a more conventional setup, including a 200-megapixel Sony IMX09E main camera with optical image stabilisation, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and dual 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lenses. The new information, however, indicates that Oppo may have revised its imaging hardware significantly, focusing on native focal lengths stretching up to 230mm, with high-quality extensions reaching 460mm. This approach could allow consistent image quality across wide, mid-telephoto, and extreme zoom ranges.

Beyond cameras, the Find X9 Ultra is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. Other rumored features include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, ColorOS 16 based on Android 16, and a battery exceeding 7,000mAh with support for 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. It is expected to launch by Q1 2026 in China.
