"The Find X9 Ultra marks OPPO's biggest breakthrough in imaging," said Pete Lau, SVP and Chief Product Officer at OPPO. "By combining advanced optics with computational photography and powerful creative tools developed in collaboration with Hasselblad, we have created a professional device that redefines the standard in this category."

A camera system that redefines mobile imaging TEST

The Find X9 Ultra introduces the next-generation Hasselblad Master Camera System. Five specially designed cameras on the back work together to deliver exceptional performance in focal length, optical clarity, and color reproduction.

A long-range zoom in smartphones has long been a technical challenge due to the lack of space. The Find X9 Ultra achieves a significant breakthrough with the introduction of the Hasselblad 50 MP 10x Ultra-Sensing optical zoom telephoto lens, which offers 10x optical zoom and an industry-unique 20x zoom with optical quality. The core is formed by the groundbreaking Quintuple Prism Reflection Periscope Structure, which folds the light path five times to accommodate a 10x lens while reducing the length of the module by 30%. Combined with the Pristine Optical Path Architecture, which eliminates 99.999% of stray light, and optical stabilization via Sensor Shift, images remain razor-sharp even at long focal lengths.

By combining a custom 50 MP JNL sensor with the fastest aperture of f/3.5 in its class, the Find X9 Ultra effectively offers the power of a Find X9 Pro with a teleconverter in a smartphone. Whether capturing the emotion of an artist at the back of a stadium or photographing wildlife undisturbed, the 50 MP 10x telephoto lens excels in every situation.

In addition to this 10x telephoto lens, there are two 200 MP Hasselblad cameras. The Hasselblad 200 MP Ultra-Sensing main camera features the new 1/1.12-inch Sony LYTIA 901 sensor. With a fast aperture of f/1.5, it matches the light capture of the previous generation's 1-inch main camera. Supporting this is the Hasselblad 200 MP 3x Ultra-Sensing telephoto lens equipped with a massive 1/1.28-inch sensor, the largest in its category. A specially designed Hyper Light Prism and an aperture of f/2.2 maximize light capture for superior low-light performance, while a minimum focusing distance of 15 cm allows the lens to also serve as a stunning macro lens.

The optical system is completed by a 50 MP ultra-wide-angle camera that captures 56% more light for expansive landscapes, and also features a next-generation True Color camera.[2] This multispectral sensor accurately measures white balance for more lifelike color reproduction. This works seamlessly in photos, Motion Photos, and even video recordings, ensuring that colors always remain perfectly true to life, regardless of how you photograph.

By combining these high-resolution cameras with optical-quality cropping, the Find X9 Ultra offers high-quality image compositions from 14 mm to as much as 460 mm, giving you a complete set of creative photography tools always at hand.

The authentic Hasselblad experience

The Find X9 Ultra is the result of five years of intensive collaboration in research and development and represents a huge leap forward: it seamlessly combines an authentic Hasselblad photography experience with a range of professional-quality accessories.

The new generation Hasselblad Master Mode gives you ultimate creative control. Powered by an entirely new imaging pipeline, this mode bypasses the aggressive tone mapping typical of smartphones. This ensures that photographers capture highly detailed, natural images without artificial over-processing.

By leveraging the power of four high-resolution cameras, the Hasselblad Master Mode allows users to take photos in 50 MP JPEG MAX and 50 MP RAW MAX, with optical quality resolution across six different focal lengths: 14 mm, 23 mm, 47 mm, 70 mm, 139 mm, and 230 mm. To further personalize their creative vision, users can explore nine classic film simulations or create their own unique photographic look to save as a custom preset.

For creators seeking even more control and reach, OPPO introduces the Find X9 Ultra Hasselblad Earth Explorer Kit, an exclusive ecosystem of professional accessories.

The OPPO Hasselblad Explorer Case features a two-stage button for focus and shutter, combined with a dial for smooth zoom control, mimicking the authentic, tactile feel of a traditional camera. When distance is a challenge, the OPPO Hasselblad 300 mm Explorer Teleconverter opens up new creative possibilities. This precision lens, with 16 glass elements in a robust, all-metal housing, can be mounted directly onto the 3x telephoto lens for a focal length of 300 mm and a 13x optical zoom. Combined with the 200 MP sensor, photographers can achieve breathtakingly sharp results at 30x and beyond.

Cinematic video for professional ambitions

The Find X9 Ultra offers the same professional quality for video and introduces the most powerful cinematic capabilities OPPO has offered to date.

Thanks to this powerful camera setup, the Find X9 Ultra enables 4K recordings at 60 fps and Dolby Vision HDR, with zoom quality remaining impeccable from 0.6x to as much as 30x. The Dual Hasselblad 200 MP cameras push the boundaries of mobile videography, capturing cinematic 4K at 120 fps and introducing 8K at 30 fps, a first for an OPPO flagship. This provides creators with ultimate flexibility for cropping and reframing in post-production.

For professionals seeking maximum flexibility during editing, the Find X9 Ultra introduces O-Log2. This profile retains more shadow details and significantly reduces image smearing, providing a broader dynamic canvas for color correction. Certified with the Academy Color Encoding System (ACES), footage integrates seamlessly into professional workflows.

Creative control is further expanded with new support for 3D LUTs. Users can load LUTs directly onto the device to preview custom color corrections in real-time. For a streamlined workflow, the LUT Burn-in feature embeds the selected color profile directly into the video file, delivering instant cinematic results without the need for additional editing.

Moreover, OPPO and Meta are working closely together to optimize the experience of sharing videos on Instagram. Users of the OPPO Find X9 Ultra can now enjoy virtually lossless video quality, from recording to sharing.

Uncompromising performance for creative workflows

To meet the high demands of creative work, the Find X9 Ultra is designed for uncompromising speed and sustained performance.

The 6.82-inch 144Hz QHD+ AMOLED display achieves a peak brightness of 3,600 nits at HDR, while it can be dimmed to just 1 nit for comfortable viewing in low-light environments. Additionally, OPPO's Display P3 Pro chip and enhanced luminescent materials work together to provide highly accurate color reproduction, optimize power consumption, and eliminate motion blur.

Under the hood, the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform and an advanced vapor chamber with encapsulated thermal unit ensure smooth, consistent performance, even during intensive tasks like recording 8K video.

The device is powered by a massive 7,050 mAh OPPO Silicon-Carbon battery, one of the largest ever in a camera flagship. Combined with the brand-new PowerCore battery management chip, the Find X9 Ultra guarantees all-day comfortable content creation. When the battery is eventually running low, 100W SUPERVOOC wired charging and 50W AIRVOOC wireless charging ensure you can get back to work quickly.

A camera-inspired design

The Find X9 Ultra is directly inspired by the iconic Hasselblad X2D and features horizontally aligned OPPO and Hasselblad logos on an eco-friendly back made of vegan leather.

The camera module features the brand-new Master Lens Design. Inside, a hexagonal detail reflects the aperture blades of professional camera lenses, giving the device a striking, high-quality appearance inspired by authentic photography.

The Find X9 Ultra is available in two striking designs. Tundra Umber exudes Scandinavian minimalism and the raw elegance of glaciers, while also paying tribute to legendary craftsmanship. Canyon Orange, on the other hand, is made from aircraft-grade fiber, offering exceptional resilience while maintaining a sleek profile.

The Find X9 Ultra is built with OPPO Armor Shield architecture and designed to withstand the heavy demands of professional use. IP66, IP68, and IP69 certifications ensure complete protection against water and dust, allowing you to create with peace of mind, even in the most extreme environments.[3]
