A recent review indicates the Oppo Find X9 Ultra, launched last month, presents a significant challenge to Google Pixel smartphones, compelling one reviewer to consider switching devices. The device, featuring a Hasselblad co-developed imaging system, signals a competitive shift in the premium smartphone market.
The Find X9 Ultra’s camera capabilities are a key factor in its strong reception. Smartphone cameras are often considered a “solved” problem, with many devices offering quality photos. However, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra distinguishes itself with advanced hardware, pushing boundaries in mobile photography.
Camera Specifications
The Oppo Find X9 Ultra integrates a robust camera setup:
- Dual 200-megapixel (MP) rear cameras, including a main sensor with a 1/1.12-inch size and a 3x telephoto shooter with a 1/1.28-inch sensor.

- A 50MP front-facing camera.
Video recording capabilities include 4K at 60 frames per second (fps) Dolby Vision HDR across all five cameras, 4K at 120fps on the dual 200MP cameras, and 8K at 30fps.
