Oppo isn’t done with the
Find X9 line yet. Even after releasing the Find X9 and X9 Pro, the company still has two models in the pipeline, and new leaks from China outline what each one might bring. One is a photography-first flagship. The other is a surprisingly compact phone with a battery you’d expect in a tablet. Both sound interesting
for very different reasons. A 200MP Main Camera for the Find X9 Ultra
The biggest headline here is the camera. The Find X9 Ultra will apparently use a 200MP Sony IMX09E sensor. Oppo has been chasing camera identity for a few years now, and this move fits that pattern. A sensor that large gives the company more room for computational tricks, especially in low light.
The phone is also rumored to include a 3× periscope telephoto based on Sony’s IMX09A. Another periscope lens is said to sit above it, meant for more serious zoom. The leak doesn’t reveal exact numbers for that second module, but the wording suggests Oppo is confident about it. Usually, that means hardware that’s at least competitive with last year’s Find X8 Ultra.
There should also be an ultrawide camera. Whether Oppo keeps the 50MP 6× periscope from the X8 Ultra or replaces it with something new is still unknown.
Likely Launch Window
If Oppo follows its usual pattern, the Find X9 Ultra will debut around April 2026. That’s roughly a year after the X8 Ultra and keeps some breathing room after the standard X9 models.
Find X9s: Smaller Body, Huge Battery
The Find X9s is a very different device. It’s meant to be a small-screen flagship, something we don’t see much anymore. Leaks mention a 6.3-inch display with an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner under the panel — a nice upgrade for anyone who dislikes the slower optical readers.
Inside, the phone may run on the MediaTek Dimensity 9500+, a high-end chip with enough power for pretty much everything. But the surprise is the battery. The X9s is rumored to ship with a 7,000 mAh cell. That’s the kind of capacity people have been begging for in compact phones, but few companies ever attempt it. If Oppo manages to keep the weight under control, this could be one of the longest-lasting small phones on the market.
The Find X9s is expected to launch in March 2026, about a month before the Ultra.
Oppo’s Flagship Strategy Takes Shape
Taken together, the leaks suggest Oppo wants to split its flagship line into two clear audiences. The Ultra pushes mobile photography as far as Oppo can take it. The X9s tries to revive the compact flagship idea without the usual compromises on power or battery life. Whether both devices hit the market exactly as rumored is another story, but Oppo seems to be lining up an interesting start to 2026 either way.
