The Oppo Find X9 Ultra could be the best camera phone in the world and it will launch globally this month

That ‘global’ rollout probably won’t include the US.
This might be the best camera phone we’ve ever tested

When it comes to mobile photography, we found that the Oppo Find X8 Ultra beat most of its rivals, but it wasn’t readily available outside of China. However, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra will soon launch globally and will probably be even more impressive.

Pete Lau, Oppo’s chief product officer, posted on X that the phone will launch globally on April 21. That’s the same date as the launch in China, so unlike some Chinese phones, we apparently won’t even have to wait any longer for a launch outside of its home country.

Great specs and a major update

We also don’t know for sure yet what specifications this phone will arrive with, but the content creator Sanju Choudhary has posted a handy breakdown of the rumored upgrades, which include a new 200MP main sensor and a 200MP 3x telephoto camera, instead of the 50MP modules on the current model.

That’s not the end of the Find X9 Ultra’s camera story either, as the phone is also rumored to have a 50MP ultrawide camera, a 50MP periscope camera, and a 50MP selfie camera.

Other rumored specs include a massive 7,050mAh battery with 100W charging, a high-end Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, and a 6.82-inch 120Hz display. So, this could be a real powerhouse phone.

But its cameras will likely be the stars of the show, with reviewers describing the Find X9 Ultra as “a camera re-engineering project disguised as a phone.” In short, if you want a phone that doesn’t compromise on cameras, you might want to consider Oppo’s incoming flagship for your next upgrade.

Still, it remains to be seen how good the Oppo Find X9 Ultra will be in practice, so stay tuned to TechRadar for our hands-on impressions once it launches.
