The Oppo Find X9 Ultra, unveiled on April 21, 2026, features a five-camera rear system co-developed with Hasselblad over five generations of Find X phones. It includes a 200MP main camera with a 1/1.12-inch Sony LYTIA 901 sensor and f/1.5 aperture, touted as the largest 200MP sensor in any phone. A 200MP 3x telephoto with a 1/1.28-inch sensor physically exceeds the main sensor size of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, enabling optical depth in portraits and mid-range shots. The 10x telephoto uses a 50MP sensor with a quintuple prism periscope, allowing 20x optical-quality zoom, a feature Samsung discontinued after the Galaxy S23 Ultra. An ultra-wide 50MP camera and a 3.2MP True Color spectral sensor support colour accuracy, while the front camera is a 50MP Samsung JN5 with autofocus. Video recording reaches 4K 120fps with Log, Dolby Vision, and LUT support across all lenses. The optional Hasselblad Earth Explorer Kit adds 13x, 30x, and 60x zoom via an external 300mm teleconverter. At launch, the UK price is £1,449, exceeding the Galaxy S26 Ultra's £1,279 and the iPhone 17 Pro Max's estimated £1,299. DXOMark has not yet published a full score, but the closely related Find X9 Pro scored 166 in January 2026, placing it in the global top six.
Oppo claims the Find X9 Ultra's 3x telephoto sensor is larger than the Galaxy S26 Ultra's main camera, yet positions it as a mid-range lens rather than the primary shooter. This redefines flagship camera hierarchy, where secondary lenses now outperform rivals' flagship sensors. For photography-focused users, optical depth at 3x zoom changes how portraits and distant subjects are captured without relying on software tricks. Video stabilization still trails Samsung and Apple, leaving a gap for action and low-motion clarity despite superior hardware.
