The Oppo Find X8 Ultra ranks as one of the best phones we’ve reviewed so far, which means the sequel should be even better. Featuring a massive battery in a very slim body (only 9mm), the Find X8 Ultra is a very good camera phone too.
Although the flagship recently hit shelves and we don’t expect its sequel to arrive until April 2026, Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station is bringing us the first details about the Find X9 Ultra’s camera, a phone that we shouldn’t even talk about until next year.
According to DCS, Oppo’s upcoming Find X9 Ultra will feature an improved camera system and a better chipset. As many of you probably know already, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite powers the Find X8 Ultra, but its successor will use a Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 instead, a chipset that Qualcomm is expected to introduce in September.
More importantly, the Find X9 Ultra is getting a massive camera upgrade. Just like the Find X8 Ultra, its successor will feature four cameras, but there will be bigger sensors inside the Find X9 Ultra.
For starters, Oppo’s upcoming flagship is rumored to boast an incredible 200-megapixel main camera, which will be complemented by a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a pair of periscope telephoto cameras: 200-megapixel and 50-megapixel.

In comparison, Oppo Find X8 Ultra has four 50-megapixel cameras. It’s also worth mentioning that the 200-megapixel camera will also double as a macro lens and will feature 10x optical zoom.
In a previous report, DCS claimed the Find X9 Ultra sports a large 6.82-inch OLED display with 2K+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. Unsurprisingly, the flagship is expected to ship with ColorOS 16 based on Android 16, which is expected to be released soon after Google launches the stable version of Android 16.
Featuring at least two major upgrades – camera and processor, as well as a smaller one – display, the Find X9 Ultra will be a strong competitor for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 series.
Even if this particular model will remain exclusive to China, a slightly different version is likely to make it globally. It remains to be seen if the international model will be just as powerful as the Chinese variant.
