The OPPO Find X9 Ultra is far more than just another flagship smartphone. Built with photography and videography in mind, it brings imaging technologies that until recently were largely reserved for dedicated camera gear. A 50 MP periscope telephoto lens with 10x optical zoom, dual 200 MP sensors, and a design language inspired by Hasselblad come together to create one of the most ambitious camera-focused smartphones we've seen in years.
OPPO Find X9 Ultra - A New Standard for Mobile Photography
"The Find X9 Ultra represents OPPO's biggest breakthrough in mobile imaging to date," said Pete Lau, Senior Vice President and Chief Product Officer at OPPO. "By combining cutting-edge optics, advanced imaging technology, and powerful creative tools developed in partnership with Hasselblad, we've created a professional-grade device that redefines what's possible in smartphone photography."
The OPPO Find X9 Ultra is built around OPPO's next-generation Hasselblad Master Camera System. Featuring five purpose-built rear cameras, the setup is designed to deliver consistently high image quality at every focal length, while maintaining impressive optical clarity and true-to-life colors.
Bringing long-range zoom to a smartphone has always been a major engineering challenge due to space constraints. The OPPO Find X9 Ultra tackles that problem with a 50 MP Hasselblad Ultra-Sensing telephoto camera offering 10x optical zoom, along with an industry-leading 20x digital zoom capability.
At the core of the system is a groundbreaking periscope design that uses a five-reflection prism structure to fold the light path five times. This allows OPPO to fit a true 10x telephoto lens into the device while reducing the module's overall length by 30%.
Combined with the Pristine Optical Path architecture, which eliminates 99.999% of stray light, and Sensor-Shift optical image stabilization, the system is designed to deliver exceptionally sharp images even at extreme focal lengths.
By pairing a custom 50MP JNL sensor with the fastest f/3.5 aperture in its class, the OPPO Find X9 Ultra effectively brings the power of the Find X9 Pro with a teleconverter into a smartphone form factor.
Whether you're capturing a performer's expression from the back of a packed stadium or photographing wildlife from a distance without disturbing the animals, the 50MP 10x optical telephoto camera is built to excel in challenging shooting scenarios.
Complementing the 10x telephoto lens is a pair of Hasselblad-branded 200MP cameras. The primary Hasselblad 200MP Ultra-Sensing camera features Sony's new 1/1.12-inch LYTIA 901 sensor, paired with a bright f/1.5 aperture. According to OPPO, its light-gathering capability rivals that of the previous generation's 1-inch main camera, helping deliver detailed shots even in demanding lighting conditions.
Rounding out the camera system is the Hasselblad 200MP 3x Ultra-Sensing telephoto camera, built around a massive 1/1.28-inch sensor—the largest in its class.
A custom Hyper Light prism design, combined with a bright f/2.2 aperture, maximizes light intake for improved low-light performance. The lens can also focus from as close as 15cm, allowing it to double as an impressive tele-macro camera for capturing intricate details with remarkable clarity.
The camera system is rounded out by a 50MP ultra-wide camera that captures 56% more light, helping preserve detail across expansive landscapes and wide-angle scenes, alongside a next-generation True Color camera.
This advanced multispectral sensor precisely measures white balance data to deliver more natural and accurate color reproduction. It works seamlessly across photos, Live Photos, and video recording, ensuring colors remain consistent and true to life regardless of how the moment is captured.
By combining these high-resolution cameras with lossless-quality in-sensor cropping, the OPPO Find X9 Ultra delivers premium image quality across focal lengths ranging from 14mm to 460mm. The result is a remarkably versatile photography system that puts a complete creative toolkit right in your pocket.
An Authentic Hasselblad Experience
Built on five years of close collaboration between OPPO and Hasselblad, the Find X9 Ultra marks a significant leap forward in smartphone photography. By pairing Hasselblad's signature imaging experience with a growing ecosystem of professional accessories, it aims to bring a more complete photographic workflow to a mobile device.
The next-generation Hasselblad Master Mode puts complete creative control in the hands of photographers. Powered by an all-new image processing pipeline, it avoids the aggressive tone mapping commonly found in modern smartphones, allowing images to retain their natural look, rich detail, and authentic character without the telltale signs of over-processing.
Leveraging the full capabilities of its four high-resolution rear cameras, Hasselblad Master Mode enables shooting in both 50MP JPEG MAX and 50MP RAW MAX formats. Users can capture images at six optical-quality focal lengths—14mm, 23mm, 47mm, 70mm, 139mm, and 230mm—providing exceptional flexibility for a wide range of photographic styles.
For even greater personalization, photographers can choose from nine classic photographic profiles or create and save their own custom look as a personalized preset.
For creators seeking maximum control and extended shooting capabilities, OPPO also introduces the Find X9 Ultra Hasselblad Earth Explorer Kit, an exclusive collection of professional-grade accessories designed to expand the mobile photography experience even further.
The OPPO Hasselblad Explorer Case features a two-stage shutter button for focusing and capturing shots, along with a dedicated zoom control that delivers the tactile feel of using a traditional camera.
When distance becomes a challenge, the OPPO Hasselblad 300mm Explorer Teleconverter unlocks new creative possibilities.
Built with 16 glass elements housed in a robust all-metal body, the precision-engineered lens attaches directly to the phone’s 3x telephoto camera, extending it to a 300mm equivalent focal length with 13x optical zoom. Paired with the 200MP sensor, it enables remarkably sharp images at up to 30x magnification—and even beyond.
Pro-Grade Cinematic Video
The Find X9 Ultra brings the same professional-grade quality to video, delivering the most advanced cinematic capabilities ever offered on an OPPO smartphone.
Leveraging its sophisticated camera system, the OPPO Find X9 Ultra supports 4K 60fps recording with Dolby Vision HDR while maintaining exceptional zoom quality across the entire 0.6x to 30x range.
Pushing the boundaries of mobile videography even further, the dual 200MP Hasselblad cameras enable cinematic 4K recording at 120fps and introduce 8K recording at 30fps—a first for the company's flagship lineup. This gives creators greater freedom to crop, reframe, and fine-tune their footage during post-production without compromising image quality.
For professionals who demand maximum flexibility in post-production, the Find X9 Ultra introduces O-Log2 for the first time.
Designed for advanced color grading workflows, O-Log2 preserves more shadow detail while significantly reducing image smearing, giving creators greater latitude when fine-tuning exposure and color. Certified by the Academy Color Encoding System (ACES), footage can be integrated seamlessly into professional production pipelines.
Creative control is expanded even further with new 3D LUT support. Users can import third-party LUTs directly to the device and preview custom color grades in real time while shooting.
For a more streamlined workflow, the LUT Burn-in feature embeds the selected color profile directly into the video file, delivering a cinematic look straight out of the camera with little to no additional editing required.
In addition, OPPO and Meta have worked closely together to optimize the Instagram video-sharing experience. Find X9 Ultra users can now preserve virtually all of their video's quality throughout the entire process, from capture to upload.
