A fresh leak has revealed detailed camera specifications for the Oppo Find X10 Ultra, pointing to one of the largest sensor upgrades ever seen in a smartphone telephoto system. According to the leak, first reported by GSMArena, Oppo is testing a 200MP periscope telephoto with a sensor size of approximately 1/1.3 inches alongside a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL GNB sensor at 1/1.95 inches for the device’s dedicated 10x optical zoom lens.
The leak comes from well-known Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the same source that accurately detailed the Find X9 Ultra’s camera hardware before its launch. While the device was not named directly, the dual periscope configuration matches previous Find X10 Ultra leaks and places Oppo on a path that most competitors appear to be abandoning.
What the Leak Reveals
The leaked specifications describe a dual periscope telephoto system with two distinct zoom lenses, continuing the setup introduced on the Find X9 Ultra earlier this year.
For the primary telephoto (approximately 3x optical zoom), Oppo is reportedly testing a 200MP sensor at roughly 1/1.3 inches. This is similar in size to the 1/1.28-inch OmniVision OV52A sensor used in the Find X9 Ultra’s 200MP 3x telephoto, which is currently one of the largest telephoto sensors in any smartphone.
The bigger story is the secondary telephoto. The 10x optical zoom camera is said to feature a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL GNB sensor at 1/1.95 inches. That is a substantial jump from the 1/2.75-inch Samsung ISOCELL JNL sensor used in the Find X9 Ultra’s 10x periscope today.
Beyond the baseline configuration, the leak adds two additional details worth noting:
Oppo has also evaluated a 200MP sensor at 1/1.12 inches for the primary telephoto, though that option has not been finalizedA Samsung HPC sensor remains under consideration as an alternative for the 200MP telephoto slot
Neither the larger 1/1.12-inch option nor the HPC sensor has been confirmed for the final product. All specifications are based on prototype testing and could change before production.
Why the 10x Sensor Upgrade Matters Most
The 200MP primary telephoto getting a marginally larger sensor is an incremental improvement. The 10x zoom camera getting a sensor that is roughly twice the surface area of its predecessor is a different story.
Sensor size directly affects how much light a camera can capture in a single exposure. The Find X9 Ultra’s 10x periscope already earned praise from reviewers for producing usable long-range photos, but its 1/2.75-inch sensor remained a limiting factor in low light. At that size, the sensor captures significantly less light than the phone’s 1/1.12-inch main camera or its 1/1.28-inch 3x telephoto.
Moving to a 1/1.95-inch sensor at 10x would close much of that gap. For context, this is the same sensor size that the Find X9 Ultra uses for its ultrawide camera. In practical terms, the 10x zoom would go from being the weakest link in the imaging chain to something closer to a mid-tier camera in its own right.
The Find X9 Ultra demonstrated what a 50MP 10x periscope can do with a small sensor and strong image processing. Reviews from Digital Camera World and other outlets noted that the 10x lens delivered remarkable results even when cropping to 20x equivalent, making it the strongest zoom camera on any smartphone in 2026. A larger sensor should push those results further, particularly at dusk, indoors, and in other scenes where light is limited.
How It Compares to the Find X9 Ultra
To understand the scale of these upgrades, here is a side-by-side comparison of the leaked Find X10 Ultra telephoto specs against the confirmed Find X9 Ultra hardware:

The 10x camera sensor upgrade from 1/2.75 inches to 1/1.95 inches represents a roughly 2x increase in sensor area. That is one of the largest generational jumps seen in any smartphone telephoto camera.
Oppo’s Dual Periscope Bet in a Shifting Market
The Find X10 Ultra appears likely to be one of the few Android flagships in 2027 still offering true 10x optical zoom through a dedicated periscope lens. Several competitors have moved in the opposite direction.
Samsung dropped its 10x periscope after the Galaxy S23 Ultra and has settled on a 5x zoom for the Galaxy S26 Ultra and its expected S27 successor. Reports indicate that Vivo may also abandon its 10x plans for the upcoming X500 Ultra, instead relying on in-sensor zoom from a high-resolution 200MP periscope sensor. Even Xiaomi’s approach with the 18 Ultra has leaned toward computational zoom rather than extending optical reach.
Oppo’s continued investment in dual periscope hardware with dedicated 3x and 10x optical lenses is a deliberate choice that comes with tradeoffs. A dual periscope system occupies more internal space, adds complexity to the camera module, and increases manufacturing costs. The benefit is true optical zoom at two focal lengths without relying on digital cropping or AI upscaling to bridge the gap between them.
Whether this approach delivers a meaningful advantage over the “fewer lenses, bigger sensors, smarter software” strategy adopted by competitors will depend on execution. The Find X9 Ultra made a strong case for dedicated 10x zoom in 2026. The question for the Find X10 Ultra is whether pairing that same zoom range with a substantially larger sensor can widen the gap enough to justify the hardware investment at a time when computational photography keeps improving.
Other Rumored Specs
The camera system is the most detailed aspect of the Find X10 Ultra leaks so far, but earlier reports have outlined other expected upgrades:
Display: 6.89-inch 2K LTPO panel supplied by BOE, with ultra-narrow symmetrical bezels and BT.2020 color gamut supportProcessor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, likely built on TSMC’s 2nm processBattery: Expected to exceed 7,000mAh, with some reports pointing to approximately 8,500mAhFront camera: A 100MP square sensor is under testing, designed to capture equal horizontal and vertical framing without rotating the phone
Oppo Find Series Product Manager Zhou Yibao has confirmed that the Find X10 Ultra will not launch in 2026. The standard Find X10, Find X10 Pro, and Find X10 Pro Max are expected to arrive in China around October 2026, with the Ultra following in Q1 2027.
What to Watch Next
The Find X10 Ultra’s final camera configuration hinges on two unresolved decisions. First, whether Oppo selects the 1/1.3-inch or the larger 1/1.12-inch sensor for the 200MP telephoto will determine how close the 3x zoom camera comes to matching a flagship main camera in light-gathering ability. Second, the choice between the current sensor candidate and Samsung’s HPC sensor could affect both dynamic range and low-light performance.
These are early prototype specifications, and the gap between testing and mass production often narrows the most ambitious hardware plans. The Find X9 Ultra shipped with largely the same specs that leaks predicted months before launch, but that pattern is not guaranteed to repeat.
What is clear is that Oppo is treating dedicated telephoto hardware as a competitive differentiator rather than a feature to cut. If the leaked 10x sensor upgrade survives into production, the Find X10 Ultra would carry one of the most capable long-range zoom systems ever fitted into a smartphone, at a time when most of the industry is betting that software can replace the glass.
FAQsWhat camera sensor will the Oppo Find X10 Ultra use for its 10x zoom?
The Find X10 Ultra is expected to use a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL GNB sensor measuring approximately 1/1.95 inches for its 10x optical zoom camera. This is a major upgrade from the 1/2.75-inch Samsung JNL sensor in the current Find X9 Ultra, roughly doubling the sensor’s light-capturing area.
When will the Oppo Find X10 Ultra be released?
Oppo has confirmed the Find X10 Ultra will not launch in 2026. Based on current leaks and the company’s typical release cycle, the device is expected to debut in Q1 2027. The standard Find X10, Find X10 Pro, and Find X10 Pro Max are expected first, arriving around October 2026.
Will the Oppo Find X10 Ultra have a 200MP camera?
Yes. Leaks indicate the Find X10 Ultra will feature at least one 200MP camera in its telephoto system, specifically a periscope lens at approximately 3x optical zoom. Oppo is testing sensor sizes between 1/1.3 inches and 1/1.12 inches for this camera. The 10x telephoto is expected to remain at 50MP with a larger sensor.
Is the Oppo Find X10 Ultra the only phone with 10x optical zoom in 2027?
Based on current leaks, the Find X10 Ultra may be one of the only Android flagships in 2027 still shipping true 10x optical zoom hardware. Samsung settled on 5x zoom starting with the Galaxy S24 Ultra, and Vivo is reportedly moving away from dedicated 10x hardware in favor of in-sensor zoom technology.
