Key Takeaways
1. The Vivo X300 Ultra focuses on video quality and features the best ultra-wide camera, while the Oppo Find X9 Ultra excels in telephoto capabilities with a built-in 10x optical zoom.
2. The Vivo X300 Ultra has a new 400 mm telephoto extender, but requires an external optical attachment, whereas Oppo’s setup offers convenience with a built-in zoom.
3. Oppo’s 200 MP periscope telephoto camera has a larger sensor and improved light sensitivity compared to its predecessor, allowing for better performance at higher zoom levels.
4. The primary camera on both smartphones is expected to use a 200 MP sensor, but Oppo claims its larger aperture will capture more light than Vivo’s setup.
5. Both devices feature a bright ultra-wide camera, but Vivo may have an advantage with a larger sensor size compared to Oppo’s ultra-wide lens.
The competition between the Vivo X300 Ultra, which is a 35 mm camera flagship concentrating on video and boasting the best ultra-wide camera, and the Oppo Find X9 Ultra, known for its 10x telephoto capabilities, is emerging as one of the most captivating showdowns of the year. Set to launch in China on March 30, the Zeiss camera flagship is anticipated to make its way to Europe shortly after. It features the longest zoom available on any smartphone, thanks to its new 400 mm telephoto extender. However, this comes with the caveat of needing an external optical attachment. In contrast, Oppo seems to provide a built-in 10x optical zoom that appears to offer quite satisfactory quality.
Oppo’s Competitive Edge
Oppo isn’t making it easy for its rivals, especially with its 3x telephoto system, which has been the talk of leakers for weeks. Zhuo Shijie, an Oppo executive, has recently revealed some insights on Weibo about the cutting-edge 200 MP periscope telephoto camera, which has a 1/1.28-inch sensor and boasts an aperture of f/2.2. This indicates that Oppo’s sensor is larger than that of the Vivo X300 Ultra, along with a brighter optical system, although it has an equivalent focal length of 70 mm compared to Vivo’s 85 mm. Zhuo pointed out that the light sensitivity of this new setup is 136 percent greater than that of the 3x telephoto on the Oppo Find X8 Ultra, and even at 6x zoom, it can capture 23 percent more light than the previous 6x telephoto model.
Camera Specifications
The primary camera has also been mentioned briefly, expected to feature the same Sony LYT-901 200 MP sensor found in the Vivo X300 Ultra. Oppo claims that it will capture more light due to a larger aperture compared to the 1-inch sensor in the Oppo Find X8 Ultra, even though its sensor size is slightly reduced to 1/1.12 inch. While the Vivo’s 35 mm main camera has an f/1.85 aperture, the 23 mm lens on the Oppo Find X9 Ultra is said to have an f/1.5 aperture. However, this information hasn’t stemmed directly from Oppo but rather from Digital Chat Station, which also recently shared more insights. Both Oppo and Digital Chat Station have noted the presence of a brighter 14 mm ultra-wide camera, although Vivo might hold the upper hand here due to its larger sensor.
