OPPO Find X9 Ultra will have a bold design: more camera than smartphone

The debut of the brand’s next Camera Phone is becoming increasingly tangible, and this time we have a very clear picture. The new images show what should be the design of OPPO Find X9 Ultra, with a style that effectively makes it a camera, without the need for an additional kit – at least in terms of appearance.

OPPO Find X9 Ultra: design and specs — what to expect from the next Camera Phone (and the picture is now clear)

The alleged design of OPPO Find X9 Ultra draws from the series’ past, but upends its meaning. As Find X8 Ultra we have a large circular camera module, which nods to the look of traditional cameras. This time there is a bold addition: the rear cover would be made of glass with leather inserts, in order to create a kind of grip for when the phone is used in landscape orientation (for taking photos).

Rather than using a camera kit, it is the body of the device itself that would offer a comfortable grip. Note that the images in the article are concept renders and not unofficial images: however they would be based on the device’s final look, even though the final (and official) version might differ.

Meanwhile, the spec details are also becoming more in-depth: OPPO Find X9 Ultra would feature a 6.82″ 2K AMOLED display at 120 Hz, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and a capacious 7,300 mAh battery.

The camera setup would consist of four sensors: the main Sony LYT-901 200 MP (1/1.12″ and f/1.5), a 50 MP Samsung JN5 ultra-wide, and a dual periscope telephoto. It would be an OmniVision OV52A 200 MP with 3x optical zoom and a LYT600 50 MP with 10x optical zoom.

Additionally there would be an external 300 mm telephoto lens for optical extension, with a 1/1,28″ sensor and 13.2x zoom.

The launch of OPPO Find X9 Ultra is planned for early Q2 in China (toward April); this time there would also be a Global version for the Indian market. It remains to be seen whether it will arrive here as well, so for now we can only keep our fingers crossed.
