Oppo Find X9 Ultra launch completes the ‘holy trinity’ of ultra camera phones

If you want a top-spec camera-focused flagship, you really need to consider one of the Chinese OEM’s ultra flagships. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra has been around for a while, and the Vivo X300 Ultra was recently launched globally. Now, Oppo has launched the Find X9 Ultra globally, completing the holy trinity of camera-centric Android Ultras that are worthy of your attention.

The Oppo Find It also comes in a bright Canyon Orange color if you want to turn heads. The Find X9 Ultra also has a new “Quick Button”, which is Oppo’s camera shutter button.

The Find It also supports 2,160Hz PWM dimming. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

Of course, the Find

Unlike some big-name Ultras, the Find X9 Ultra doesn’t skimp on battery specs. It has a 7,050mAh silicon-carbon battery with 100W SuperVOOC wired (55W USB PD charging) and 50W AIRVOOC wireless charging. The phone launches with Color OS 16 based on Android 16, which includes new features like Live Spaces (Oppo’s take on Samsung’s Now Bar), AI Bill Manager, AI Mind Pilot (building on AI Mind Spaces), AI Menu Translation, and more.

The best part is that the Find X9 Ultra also supports Quick Share along with AirDrop compatibility. The phone has also received IP66, IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.

Getting to the bottom of the matter, the Find X9 Ultra comes with five rear cameras and one front camera. The headliner is a 200MP Sony LYT-901, 1/1.12-inch primary sensor with OIS and af/1.5 aperture. The numbers here are crazy: That’s one of the largest 200MP sensors found on a smartphone, coupled with a fast f/1.5 aperture. You can also use this camera for “optical quality” 50MP 2x telephoto shots, where the sensor crops in mid-pixel.

This is complemented by a 50MP Sony LYT-600, a 1/1.95-inch ultrawide camera with f/2.0 aperture and autofocus. It features a 200MP OmniVision OV52A, 1/1.28-inch, f/2.2 sensor for 3x optical zoom with OIS, and 15 cm minimum focusing distance (for telemacro shots). It is one of the largest telephoto sensors ever integrated into a smartphone. You can also crop in the sensor for “Optical Quality” 50MP 6x zoom.

There’s also a 50MP Samsung JNL, 1/2.75-inch, f/3.5 sensor for 10x optical zoom with sensor-shift OIS. For reference, the Galaxy S23 Ultra had a 10x optical zoom camera, but it used a 10MP, 1/3.52-inch, f/4.9 setup, so the Find X9 Ultra is a significant leap forward.

The fifth camera is a 3.2M multispectral unit with f/2.4 aperture. The setup features a 50MP Samsung JN5, 1/2.75-inch, f/2.4 with autofocus.

If all these numbers are hard to chew, know that they’re capable enough for Oppo to call the Find X9 Ultra a “Hasseblad Master Camera System.” The new generation of Hasselblad Master Mode also enables 50MP JPEG max and 50MP RAW max shooting on all four main rear sensors. Fans will also be pleased that the Find X9 Ultra comes with Hasselblad XPAN mode for unique 65:24 aspect ratio shots.

If all these camera features don’t scratch your itch, you can also pair the Find X9 Ultra with the Hasselblad Earth Explorer Kit, which includes a case (which can mount any 67mm filter) and a 300mm teleconverter. The 4.3x teleconverter mounts on the 200MP 3x telephoto camera, giving you a 300mm equivalent focal length, which translates to a 13x optical zoom. want more? You can use in-sensor cropping and a little digital cropping on the 200MP sensor to reach 690mm (30x) focal length!

The story doesn’t end with the pictures. Each camera on the Find X9 Ultra supports 4K 60fps Dolby Vision video recording, which boasts seamless lens switching. The 200MP cameras (primary and 3x telephoto) also support 4K 120fps Dolby Vision and 8K 30fps video recording. The Find X9 Ultra introduces O-Log2, Oppo’s second-generation log solution. It also features 3D LUT support with real-time LUT preview and LUT burn-in.
