Oppo reveal the Oppo X9 Ultra Global launch date!!

Oppo have now announced the date for the launch of the Oppo Find X9 Ultra Global version and it is around 3 weeks from now.

Now before you get too excited we are still to have it confirmed that this will be going "Global Global" but if the X9 Pro was anything to go by then we should be getting it here in the UK as well as in Europe. In addition it is being strongly suggested that the US will also be getting the X9 Ultra as well. However if this turns out to not be true then you know what to do!

As for what has been revealed we do have a sneaky preview of the new camera island which looks gorgeous from this side profile shot.

Along with is new redesigned camera island we are expecting the phone to have offer a 10x periscope telephoto camera with a custom 50MP Samsung JNL fusion sensor. Other specs that are expected are a 6.82-inch AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, a 7,050mAh battery, and dual 200MP rear cameras.

I am really looking forward to this phone as I have become a big fan of Oppo as my Find N5 was my favourite phone of last year beating out my long time favourite the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. I also tried the Find X8 Pro very briefly at the beginning of the summer and I really enjoyed using it.

That is all we have at the moment but as soon as we know.more and can share more we will be including it here and in the Average Dad channel were you can bet your backside Mike will be testing the silicone out of the phone!

Your Next Camera Is Coming: OPPO Announces April 21 Global Launch for Find X9 Ultra With Breakthrough 10x Optical Zoom

SHENZHEN, March 31, 2026—OPPO, the world's leading smart device brand, announced today the upcoming global launch of its highly anticipated camera flagship, Find X9 Ultra. Debuting on April 21, 2026, Find X9 Ultra represents the most significant breakthrough in OPPO’s history, fundamentally redefining the limits of smartphone photography.

“The pursuit of ultimate imaging has always been the mission of the Find X Series,” said Pete Lau, SVP and Chief Product Officer at OPPO. “With Find X9 Ultra, we’ve achieved something truly extraordinary. By introducing the Hasselblad 50MP 10x Ultra-Sensing Optical-Zoom Telephoto, which allows 10x true optical zoom and industry-first 20x optical-quality zoom, we are pushing the boundaries of what is possible with smartphone zoom. This is not just another flagship, it’s your next camera.”

Currently, most flagship smartphones cap their optical zoom at 4x or 5x due to the strict space constraints within the body of a phone. To overcome this limitation, OPPO invested years of R&D to engineer a groundbreaking Quintuple Prism Reflection Periscope Structure. By bouncing light through five separate reflections, this design satisfies the physical requirements for true 10x optical zoom while shrinking the camera module's length by 30%, making a built-in 10x lens achievable without compromising the phone's sleek profile.

Complementing this engineering marvel is OPPO’s Pristine Optical Path Architecture. The prism is meticulously crafted from three precision pieces separated by an industry-first nanometer-scale diaphragm and a specialized air capsule, ensuring the image data hitting the sensor is exceptionally pure. Furthermore, because even the slightest handshake is magnified at 10x zoom, OPPO engineered an all-new Sensor Shift optical stabilization system. Featuring an industry-leading stabilization range, this system ensures consistently stable, crisp, and clear shots.

This Hasselblad 50MP 10x Ultra-Sensing Optical-Zoom Telephoto anchors a comprehensive suite of imaging innovations across hardware and computational photography.
