Oppo has just launched the global version of its Find X10 Pro Max flagship, an exotic flagship phone that goes head-to-head with the iPhone 18 Pro Max and the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and it's a monster by all accounts. The highlight here is the triple 200 MP camera in the back, a first on the mobile scene.
But what about the design language here?
Oppo has opted to continue the Oppo Find X9 Pro design language but with some key changes here and there. For one, the phone lacks a dedicated camera control button, which was present on the previous two generations.
There's now also a dedicated camera plateau. It's made of glass, of course, and definitely reminds me of the back of an iPhone 17 Pro Max/iPhone 18 Pro Max. The flash and the color sensor are separated in another camera island to the right of the main one. It's absolutely an acquired taste and looks busy, but after a while, I learned to ignore it.
What I'm not certain about is the Titanium Gray color. It has a notable purplish hue going on for it, and I'm not sure if I like it.
Inside the box with some global versions, you'd find a matching case for your Oppo Find X10 Pro Max.
It's a decent one by all accounts but lacks any MagSafe/Pixelsnap capabilities, so the functionality is a bit limited.

One of the more functional cases you can use is the one found in the optional Hasselblad Photography kit.
Aside from having a magnetic ring for attaching accessories, it also lets you attach the optional teleconverter lens. However, this makes the phone very impractical to carry around and is quite expensive, so you probably don't need it.
The camera app is clean and functional, but not as rich in features as rival camera apps like those found on Vivo or Samsung devices.
The phone has its own version of Photographic Styles, which provide you with customizable filters like most other flagship phones these days.
It's a decent addition to the camera app, just not the most influential change here.
After using the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max for a couple of weeks now, one thing is certain for me: the Galaxy S26 Ultra doesn't compare well and Samsung has a lot of catching up to do.
What about the iPhone 18 Pro Max? Well, it's a totally different ecosystem, but pound-for-pound, I'd still pick the Android champ here. That's in no way dismissive towards the iPhone 18 Pro Max, which is a very decent generational upgrade, not to mention it's a bit more affordable.
Yep, we are at this point.
Ideally, which one of these would I pick?
I'm definitely rooting for the Android phones here, and if the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max was a bit more affordable, I'd definitely recommend it.
However, it starts at nearly €1,800 or $1,600 depending on the region, so it's far from good value.
I'll stick with the Oppo Find X9 Pro for now.
