– The Find X9 Ultra’s new 200MP Sony sensor offers better dynamic range and detail than the Find X8 Ultra’s 1-inch sensor.
– The Find X9 Ultra has a significant edge in high-magnification zoom quality.
– The Find X8 Ultra performs slightly better in absolute darkness (less grain).
– The Find X9 Ultra is roughly $400 more expensive than the Find X8 Ultra.
Oppo’s Camera Flagships Compared
The camera smartphones from Oppo have been among the most exciting camera phones in the Android ecosystem for several years now. With the Find X9 Ultra, the manufacturer is now launching a new flagship with outstanding hardware. But its predecessor, the Find X8 Ultra, still claims to deliver the best photo quality.
Daily Performance and Price Differences
In this comparison, we take a look at how the Hasselblad cameras of the two Oppo flagships perform in everyday use. Does the Find X9 Ultra really deliver the better photos? Or is the 2025 model with its 1-inch sensor more convincing after all? In terms of price, the Find X8 Ultra starts at around $800, while its successor, as an import, currently starts at around €1,037, making it roughly $400 more expensive.
The Sony Sensor Advantage
Compared to the Find X8 Ultra, the Sony camera in the Find X9 Ultra achieves a significantly higher light yield — at least that’s what the manufacturer says. According to Oppo, the increase is ten percent for the main camera. However, the stacked sensor “only” measures 1/1.12 inches and is therefore smaller than the 1-inch format of the Find X8 Ultra. On the other hand, the Sony Lytia 901 with 200 MPix offers four times the resolution and therefore significantly more scope for pixel binning to reduce image noise in low light.
Real-World Photo Results
The photo results, as well as the shots in the review, speak in favor of the Find X9 Ultra’s new sensor. The photos offer slightly more dynamic range and, thanks to variable pixel binning, the images also show a little more detail than the Find X8 Ultra’s. Only in absolute darkness (book motif) does the 200-MPix camera produce slightly more grain than the 2025 flagship with its 1-inch-format lens.
