While we're waiting for the Galaxy S27 Ultra to be one of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 Elite Extreme bannermen, another Ultra flagship phone chose differently. According to the latest leaks, the upcoming Oppo Find X10 Ultra camera flagship will use MediaTek silicon.

Oppo switching chip suppliers

The previous generation, the Find X9 Ultra, which is still one of the best camera phones you can get, uses a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. Oppo is obviously making a switch with the latest generation, as the already launched Oppo Find X10 Pro Max comes equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro chip.
One of the big reasons for the switch is the price of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 processors, which cost upwards of $300 to $320 per unit. For comparison, the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro, which is also manufactured on a 2nm node, costs significantly less at approximately $216 to $220 per unit.

The phone is expected to get two telephoto cameras, one featuring a 200MP 1/1.3-inch periscope sensor, and another 50MP 10x telephoto. The selfie camera could be the largest in the industry with its 100MP pixel count and square 1:1 ratio. The Oppo Find X10 Ultra is expected to launch early next year in China. Fingers crossed the model will have a global launch, just like its smaller brothers.
