Oppo's new Find X9 Ultra features a 10x telephoto lens, reviving a feature absent from flagship phones for three years. The device marks Oppo's latest move in the ultra-zoom camera race.
The Find X9 Ultra reintroduces the 10x telephoto lens to the flagship smartphone market, a capability last seen in Samsung's Galaxy S23 Ultra. Oppo claims to have improved the technology, delivering what it describes as the best 10x lens available.
The phone features a distinctive two-paneled design that Oppo showcases as a standout aesthetic choice for 2024. Beyond the headline telephoto feature, the device continues Oppo's focus on photography capabilities as a key competitive differentiator among premium phones.
The return of 10x zoom technology reflects intensifying competition in the ultra-flagship segment, where manufacturers are pushing optical zoom capabilities to distinguish their devices. Whether the improved lens justifies the addition remains a question for reviewers and consumers evaluating real-world performance against competing ultra-flagship options.
