Oppo on Monday revealed the design and camera pitch for its Find X9 Ultra, while a China Telecom listing filled in much of the hardware picture for the Find X9s Pro ahead of their April 21 debut. Oppo’s China launch page now lists both phones for a 7 p.m. unveiling in China on launch day.
The timing matters because the Find X9 Ultra is set to become Oppo’s first Ultra phone sold outside China, turning what had been a China-focused top-end line into a broader test of the company’s position in premium smartphones. Oppo first flagged that shift in March, when it said the Ultra platform would expand beyond China for the first time.
On Oppo’s Chinese event page, the X9 Ultra is pitched around Hasselblad imaging, while the X9s Pro is framed around twin 200-megapixel cameras. The page bills both as a global first release on April 21 at 19:00 in China.
In teasers posted Monday, Oppo showed the X9 Ultra with a large circular camera island and a two-tone rear panel. Gadgets360, citing Oppo’s X and Weibo posts, said the phone will carry dual 200-megapixel cameras, a 50-megapixel 10x optical telephoto lens — a folded-lens zoom system used to extend range inside a thin handset — and 8K video recording.
Oppo also announced a limited Find X9 Ultra Hasselblad Earth Explorer Master Set, modeled on a Hasselblad collector edition and bundled with an add-on teleconverter lens, a camera-handle case and a commemorative certificate. The company has yet to give pricing or availability for that kit.
For the smaller X9s Pro, a China Telecom listing that surfaced Monday pointed to a 6.32-inch display, a 7,025mAh battery, Android 16, up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Oppo has separately confirmed a 6.3-inch screen with 1.1mm bezels, four colour options and a Hasselblad-tuned rear system with two 200-megapixel cameras.
That would set Oppo into a field that is already crowded with camera-led flagships. Vivo’s X300 Ultra uses two 200MP cameras and supports teleconverter add-ons, Xiaomi’s 17 Ultra pairs a 1-inch main sensor with a 200MP 75mm-100mm telephoto, and Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra keeps a 200MP main camera with 50MP telephoto hardware.
Oppo first signaled the global move in March. At a Barcelona media event, Oppo Europe CEO Elvis Zhou said the “Ultra” label “must be earned,” and the company said the Find X9 Ultra would take the Ultra line beyond China for the first time. OPPO
The risk is price and reach. Oppo still has not said which markets will get the phones or how aggressively it can price them in a year when memory costs are squeezing the wider handset market. IDC’s Francisco Jeronimo called the pressure a “tsunami-like shock,” while Nabila Popal said the crunch marked a “structural reset” for the industry. Reuters
Oppo is due to fill in the gaps on April 21, when it is expected to spell out final specifications, regional availability and the status of the camera accessories it has put at the center of the launch campaign.
