OPPO is preparing to launch its next high-end smartphone, the Find X9 Ultra, with an official release window now set for April. The timing was confirmed by a company executive on Weibo, alongside mention of the Find X9s Pro arriving in the same period. While a specific launch date has not been disclosed, the announcement narrows down what had previously been a vague rollout window.
A teaser image released by OPPO highlights a new physical feature: a dedicated camera shutter button positioned on the right side of the device. The button includes a noticeable orange accent, suggesting the company is continuing to emphasize photography as a central focus of the Find X series. While hardware camera buttons are not new in smartphones, their inclusion has become less common in recent years, making this a notable design choice aimed at users who prioritize quick access to camera controls.
Although OPPO has not formally detailed the full specifications, recent leaks provide a clearer picture of what to expect. The Find X9 Ultra is rumored to feature a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED display with 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, aligning it with other premium devices in terms of screen performance. Powering the device is expected to be a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with up to 16GB of RAM, indicating a focus on high-end performance and multitasking.
Camera hardware appears to be a major area of investment. Reports تشير to a quad-camera system that includes a 200MP main sensor, a 200MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, a secondary 50MP periscope lens offering 10x zoom, and a 50MP ultrawide camera. OPPO is also expected to continue its collaboration with Hasselblad through features like Master Mode, which aims to provide more advanced image tuning and color calibration.
Battery capacity is another area where the device could stand out. A 7,050mAh battery has been suggested, alongside support for 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. If accurate, this would place the Find X9 Ultra among the larger battery offerings in the flagship category, potentially addressing a common concern around power consumption in high-refresh-rate displays and advanced camera systems.
One of the more significant shifts for this release is its expected global availability. Previous Ultra models in the Find X lineup were limited to the Chinese market, but OPPO has indicated that the Find X9 Ultra will expand beyond that. This move follows the broader international release of the Find X9 Pro and signals a change in how the company positions its top-tier devices.
With April approaching, more concrete details are likely to emerge. For now, the Find X9 Ultra appears to be positioned as a camera-focused flagship with competitive hardware across display, performance, and battery life, though final judgment will depend on real-world performance and pricing.
