OPPO has officially confirmed that the OPPO Find X9 Ultra will debut in April, and the company is already framing the phone as a serious imaging-first flagship. In its teaser, OPPO said it wants to “put Hasselblad in your pocket” and position the device as your next professional camera.
The announcement followed a teaser post from Zhuo Shijie, OPPO’s new Find series product lead. Earlier in the day, he shared a photo of himself holding a Hasselblad medium-format mirrorless camera and hinted that the image contained a small clue. That quickly led to online speculation that OPPO was preparing to lean even harder into the Hasselblad connection for the next Ultra model.
IT Home also pointed to an earlier leak from tipster Digital Chat Station, who claimed the phone could use a 50-megapixel 10x periscope telephoto camera with an f/3.5 aperture. The same leak said its light intake could be around three times that of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra in that zoom class.
If that information holds up, OPPO may be aiming for something unusually ambitious in long-range photography. The tipster described the camera as the industry’s only native 10x optical zoom solution, saying it would behave almost like a built-in teleconverter without adding the bulk or extra cost of external accessories.
The leak also mentioned a 3x camera with what was described as the highest light intake in the industry for a 200-megapixel periscope setup. OPPO hasn’t confirmed those hardware details yet, so they should still be treated as unverified pre-launch information rather than final specs.
Even so, the official April timing now gives the rumors a clearer frame. At minimum, OPPO is openly signaling that the OPPO Find X9 Ultra will be sold on its imaging identity, and the repeated Hasselblad messaging suggests mobile photography will be one of the phone’s biggest selling points when it finally breaks cover.
