Oppo is said to be developing the Find X9 range of flagship smartphones specifically for the Chinese market. Early reports indicate that there could be four models in this series: the Find X9, Find X9 Plus, Find X9 Pro, and Find X9 Ultra. Following the pattern from last year when the Find X8 series was launched in October, it’s likely that the Find X9 series will also make its appearance around the same time this year. Details about the X9 series have been leaking out gradually, and a recent revelation from tipster Smart Pikachu states that the series will feature a 200-megapixel main camera or a periscope zoom camera.
200MP Camera Features
The Find X9 series is rumored to include a 200-megapixel camera. In February, another tipster, Digital Chat Station, hinted that Oppo might be looking to add a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with a larger sensor in the Find X9 series. Today’s information from Smart Pikachu suggests that the series will indeed have either a 200-megapixel main camera or a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. He also mentioned that the materials needed for these components are already on hand, with the expectation that the phones will launch by year’s end.
Camera Technology for Subsidiaries
Moreover, the tipster pointed out that both the “parent” brand—likely Oppo—and its “subsidiary” brands, which might include OnePlus or Realme (though that’s just speculation), will have access to these advanced camera technologies. This implies that similar high-end camera setups could be featured not only in Oppo’s flagship models but also in smartphones produced by its associated brands in the future.
The Find X9 Ultra is likely to have a 200-megapixel camera, but it’s also possible that the Find X9 Pro could include it, too. This is because while the Find X9 and X9 Pro are expected to launch this year, the Ultra version might be revealed next year. Reports suggest that the whole Find X9 series will come with a flat display. The Find X9 Pro could potentially have a 6.8-inch OLED LTPO screen with a 1.5K resolution, while the Ultra variant might have a similarly sized display that supports 2K+ resolution. The Ultra model is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip, while the X9, X9 Plus, and X9 Pro may utilize the Dimensity 9500 SoC.
