On Monday, Oppo showed off the Find X9 Ultra’s look and highlighted its camera features, as a China Telecom listing surfaced with much of the Find X9s Pro’s specs just days before both phones’ April 21 launch. The company’s China launch site now has both devices set for a 7 p.m. reveal that day.
The timing here is key: the Find X9 Ultra marks Oppo’s first Ultra-branded phone to launch outside China, pushing its once China-exclusive flagship series into the wider premium smartphone market. Back in March, Oppo signaled this move, announcing that its Ultra platform would, for the first time, debut globally.
Oppo’s Chinese event page puts the spotlight on Hasselblad imaging for the X9 Ultra, while the X9s Pro gets top billing for its dual 200-megapixel cameras. Both models are set for a global debut on April 21 at 19:00 in China, according to the page.
Oppo teased its X9 Ultra on Monday, spotlighting a big circular camera bump and a two-tone back. According to Gadgets360, which pointed to Oppo’s official X and Weibo teasers, the device is set to feature a pair of 200-megapixel cameras, a 50-megapixel telephoto lens with 10x optical zoom—using a folded-lens setup to squeeze more range into a slim frame—and support for 8K video capture.
Oppo rolled out the Find X9 Ultra Hasselblad Earth Explorer Master Set, a limited bundle based on Hasselblad’s collector edition. Buyers get an add-on teleconverter lens, a camera-handle case, and a commemorative certificate in the box. Pricing and release date for this kit remain under wraps for now.
China Telecom’s Monday listing put the smaller X9s Pro at 6.32 inches for the display, a hefty 7,025mAh battery, Android 16, up to 16GB RAM, 1TB storage. On its end, Oppo’s details: a 6.3-inch screen, ultra-thin 1.1mm bezels, four colors. In back, Hasselblad’s touch—two 200-megapixel cameras.
If Oppo goes ahead, it’ll be joining a pack of camera-heavy flagships. Vivo’s X300 Ultra packs a pair of 200MP shooters and can handle teleconverter add-ons, while Xiaomi’s 17 Ultra matches a 1-inch main sensor with a 200MP telephoto at 75mm-100mm. Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra still leans on a 200MP main, backed by 50MP telephoto hardware.
Back in March, Oppo hinted at its international ambitions. Speaking at a media event in Barcelona, Oppo Europe CEO Elvis Zhou declared the “Ultra” name “must be earned.” The company said its Find X9 Ultra would break new ground, bringing the Ultra lineup outside China for the first time. OPPO
Price and distribution are the main questions here. Oppo hasn’t revealed which markets it’s targeting, nor where the company expects to land on pricing—especially in a year when higher memory prices are weighing on the whole handset sector. Francisco Jeronimo at IDC described the strain as a “tsunami-like shock.” For Nabila Popal, it’s nothing less than a “structural reset” for the industry. Reuters
Oppo plans to clear up the details on April 21, with the company set to reveal final specs, which regions will get the device, and what’s happening with the camera accessories that have played a starring role in its launch push.
