Oppo confirms Find X10 Ultra isn't coming in 2026 after all

Oppo is set to hold a major launch event in China on April 21, 2026, where it will unveil the camera flagship, the Find X9 Ultra, and the X9S series. Now, while the current lineup hasn't been finished yet, rumors about the upcoming series have started to emerge.

One of such rumors suggested that Oppo is planning to launch the Find X10 Ultra in 2026, but as the company has now confirmed, that's not happening. A company official, Zhou Yibao, previously stated that the Find X series of phones will have a "stable release schedule."

That is, the company isn't rushing the release of any phones. In other words, the Find X10 Ultra still has a tentative Spring 2027 release schedule. This doesn't come as a surprise, as the early launch rumors didn't make sense in the first place.

With the Find X9 Ultra releasing in April 2026, it would have a very short lifespan if the company released the successor in the same year. This rushed release would also mean that there wouldn't be many changes on the successor, and a SoC upgrade alone would've had to do the heavy lifting.

Regardless, as for the Find X9 Ultra, Oppo touts that it would be like a pocket-friendly Hasselblad camera. The major highlight is the new optical setup, featuring a five-reflection prism. That enables a focal length of 460mm, and the phone's periscope sensor is said to be capable of delivering 20x optical-quality zoom with the "built-in teleconverter."

The phone is also expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and run on ColorOS 16 based on Android 16. A 7,050mAh battery is expected to power the internals of the X9 Ultra, which will reportedly have support for 50W wireless and 80W wired fast charging (100W Anker Prime charger with cable curr. $59.99 on Amazon).
