Oppo Find X9 Ultra purportedly coming with dual 200 MP Hasselblad camera and accurate colors thanks to new multispectral sensor

The Xiaomi 16 Ultra will likely be the only camera flagship with a 1-inch sensor and 200-MP telephoto lens in 2026, as a leaker predicted a few weeks ago, and he may be right. After Vivo abandoned the extra-large sensor for its main camera with the X200 series in 2025, Oppo fans are also facing the same move next year. Whether this will be a downgrade to the Oppo Find X8 Ultra is not as clear as it seems at first glance. The Hasselblad flagship of 2026 could be the first smartphone to hit the market with a dual 200-MP solution, as previously speculated.

Recent test devices seem to confirm these plans as Digital Chat Station recently pointed out on Weibo. The Snapdragon 8 Elite 2-powered Find X9 Ultra is said to utilize a particularly large 200-MP sensor as its main camera, he states, likely referring to Sony's first 1/1.1-inch 200-MP sensor. Compared to the previous maximum 1/1.3-inch Samsung counterparts, such as the ISOCELL HP2 in the Galaxy S25 Ultra, this would be a potent replacement for the current LYT-900 sensor.

There are also likely to be major changes to the telephoto lens. Instead of the previously unique dual periscope telephoto lens, a 200-MP sensor will likely be installed, like in the Vivo X200 Ultra and the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. And there could be another change to the Hasselblad camera in 2026, namely a new "multi-zone" spectral sensor for improved color fidelity in photos. In another post, the leaker hinted that other Chinese manufacturers such as Xiaomi, Vivo, Honor or Huawei may also utilize this technology in their next camera flagships.
