The terminated Oppo Find X10 Ultra donates its parts to a mysterious new flagship?

It's been almost a week since we told you that Oppo's Find X10 Ultra is very unlikely to materialize.

Now, this bad boy, which was apparently actively developed, may donate its high-end parts to future siblings.

It's been emotional


First, some months ago, the rumor mill had it that 2027 Ultra phones from Chinese OEMs like Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi will be no more thanks to the skyrocketed RAM prices. Then, some famous tipsters said the Vivo X500 Ultra and the Oppo Find X10 Ultra were actively developed, but last week, the Find X10 Ultra was "terminated". Now, there's another confirmation that this flagship will probably never see the light of day.

What a rollercoaster.

Nothing is officially announced by Oppo itself right now, but the leak comes straight out of Digital Chat Station, the famous Weibo tipster who rarely, if ever, gets anything wrong.

Per DCS' preliminary information, the Find X10 Ultra's components will be "distributed" across "subsequent new models". The "new models" part is what gives me hope that Oppo isn't exiting the high-end flagship genre.

Namely, the 6.89-inch 2K BOE display panel, the 100 MP selfie camera (with a 1:1 aspect ratio) and the top-shelf 200 MP main camera 1/1.12-inch sensor are looking for a new host.

These "artifacts", as DCS calls them, are simply too advanced to be put on a mid-ranger. If all of them are transferred to a new Oppo phone, that would essentially mean we're getting a rebranded Ultra.

There's already the Find X10 Pro Max, which is one hell of a camera phone beast with three 200 MP cameras on its back.

The last Ultra?


Currently, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra is available on the market and if the rumors we've just discussed hold true, it would make it the last Ultra by Oppo. The good news is that this one, in contrast to earlier Ultra editions, like the China-exclusive Oppo Find X7 Ultra, is available in many countries across the world, including Europe.


I, too, hope that we'll witness a miracle and the Chinese Ultras will come back in 2027. The party isn't as funny without them.

But if you want to ride Oppo's Ultra train and if you believe there'll be no Find X10 Ultra in 2027, it's probably best to look for it right now. I'm sure the price will gently go up in the months to come.

If, however, you're searching for something a bit more exotic—a foldable, perhaps—look no further than this epic Galaxy Z Fold 7 deal we've found for you.
