Oppo<\/p>\n

Smartphone manufacturer Oppo\u2019s latest is an Android flagship which goes big on photography. The company\u2019s alliance with Swedish camera brand Hasselblad continues, delivering a phone which emphasizes how important smartphone cameras have become. <\/p>\n

Launched at an event in Chengdu, China, the Find X9 Ultra was called \u201ca Hasselblad camera in your pocket.\u201d There are five cameras in total, including two Hasselblad 200-megapixel snappers, the main and 3x telephoto models. The 10x telephoto lens is a standout, using a five-prism system and reflections to make it work. \u201cQuintuple Prism Reflection Periscope Structure, which folds the light path five times to accommodate a 10x lens while reducing the module length by 30%,\u201d is the company\u2019s official description. <\/p>\n

The other sensors are a 50- megapixel ultrawide and a 50- megapixel front-facing camera.<\/p>\n

As a result, the four rear lenses dominate the back of the phone, which boasts the Hasselblad logo alongside Oppo\u2019s own.<\/p>\n

The cameras can make the most of a Master Mode which Oppo says relies less on AI processing than some rivals, aiming for the natural color reproduction Hasselblad is famous for.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also an Oppo Hasselblad Explorer Case which offers optional extras such as a two-stage camera button and a physical dial for zoom control, making the phone even more like a camera.<\/p>\n

Display And Performance: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5<\/p>\n

Of course, a phone needs to do more than shoot stills and video. The new model has a 7,050 mAh silicon-carbon battery and boasts fast charging: 100W wired charging, 50W wireless. The processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite gen 5 chip<\/p>\n

The 6.82-inch OLED display has brightness of up to 3,600 nits and 144Hz refresh rate. When you don\u2019t need brightness, the display can drop to 1 nit in low-light environments.<\/p>\n

Design And Durability: Vegan Leather And Aerospace Fiber<\/p>\n

As for the look, the rear is divided into two separate panels \u2014 a bit like the iPhone 17 Pro Max but with the proportions reversed \u2014 and comes in two colors. Tundra Umber \u201cchannels Scandinavian minimalism and the raw elegance of glaciers,\u201d the company said, though if you want to visualize it, it\u2019s sort of dark gray. Oppo isn\u2019t the only company to create an orange version this year and the Canyon Orange option has a different design: no split panels, no Hasselblad logo except on the camera panel and a swirly pattern that resembles desert sand whorls. The first finish has a vegan leather back, the second uses \u201caircraft grade fiber.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oppo Find X9 Ultra Price And Release Date<\/p>\n

The phone goes on sale much more widely than some previous models. It\u2019s not set to come to the U.S., but will land in the U.K. and Europe and beyond on May 8. Price is suitably flagship, \u00a31,449 ($1,960). <\/p>\n
