Oppo Find X9 Ultra: Specs of Hasselblad camera flagship with unusual sensor combination now final

2026 will be an exciting year for fans of Chinese camera flagships. For the first time, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will not be competing alone against the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in Europe; the Vivo X300 Ultra and Oppo Find X9 Ultra are also expected to battle for market share on the global high-end smartphone market, as mounting evidence suggests. While virtually everything about the Xiaomi 17 Ultra and the Leica Special Edition (likely to be launched globally as the "Leitzphone powered by Xiaomi") is already known thanks to the Chinese launch, both the Vivo X300 Ultra and the Oppo Find X9 Ultra still hold considerable potential for surprises.

The Vivo X300 Ultra may, for example, inherit a new camera feature from the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, as was rumored a few hours ago, and Oppo seems poised to take the periscope telephoto lens duo of the Oppo Find X8 Ultra to the next level with two interesting enhancements. It was recently revealed that, similar to the Vivo X300 Ultra, two 200 MP sensors will be combined: in addition to the new 1/1.12-inch Sony LYT-901 as the main camera, there will also be a second 200 MP sensor for the 3x telephoto lens. Also confirmed is the expansion of the 6x telephoto to a 10x telephoto, making it the first true 230mm optical telephoto since the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra from 2023.

Recent leaks from China have now revealed what appear to be the final camera specs. The most exciting feature of the now complete sensor list is the well-known 50 MP ISOCELL JN5, which will apparently be used behind both the ultra-wide angle and the 10x telephoto lens, but at 1/2.76 inches is significantly smaller than the two 200 MP sensors. Practical experience will show whether this is a good combination. In theory, however, one should not expect maximum performance from either end of the focal length spectrum. The new 200 MP sensor behind the 70mm telephoto lens, on the other hand, is based on a new 1/1.28-inch Omnivision OV52A. According to Digital Chat Station, it delivers excellent light sensitivity values with an F/2.2 aperture.
