Oppo Find X9 Ultra Review: A Camera-First Smartphone with Dual 200MP Sensors

Oppo's Find X9 Ultra, the company's first 'Ultra' flagship to launch globally, prioritizes mobile photography with a quadruple rear camera array. The device features dual 200-megapixel sensors (main and 3x periscope telephoto), a 50-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 10x optical zoom telephoto (230mm equivalent) using a customized Samsung JNL sensor. The camera system leverages Oppo's Hasselblad partnership for color science, a multi-spectral sensor for white balance, and a new Lumo image pipeline with Real Time Triple Exposure. The phone includes a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage, and a 7050mAh battery with 80W charging. The Hasselblad Earth Explorer Kit offers a teleconverter for 300mm equivalent zoom. The review notes excellent image quality across focal lengths, versatile modes (Master, RAW, Hi-Res), and strong video capabilities including Dolby Vision 4K 60fps. However, the ultra-wide camera is the weakest link, and the 10x telephoto has macro limitations in manual focus. The phone costs €1,699 ($2,000 USD) and is not sold directly in North America but available in other Western markets.
