OPPO has debuted the Find X9 Ultra, its flagship phone for 2026. This is the brand’s top model, and one of the most exciting releases in the Philippines.
The premium device offers serious camera power, strong performance, and long battery life. It’s coming to the country soon, though pricing hasn’t been announced yet.
Premium Design & Display
The Find X9 Ultra takes cues from Hasselblad’s X2D camera. It comes in two finishes: vegan leather (Tundra Umber) and aircraft-grade fiber (Canyon Orange).
Small touches like the Hasselblad Orange Quick Button and CNC-machined details make it feel premium. It’s tough too, with SGS certification and IP66/68/69 ratings for dust and water resistance.
In the hand, it feels solid and well-built, with the leather finish adding a nice grip. The back is dominated by a huge camera module that almost covers half the panel, making it clear where OPPO wants our attention.
Up front is a 6.82-inch LTPO ProXDR OLED screen with QHD+ resolution. It’s sharp at 510 ppi, supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, and has up to 144Hz refresh rate. Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protects the display from drops and scratches.
The display is bright as well, peaking at 3,600 nits, so outdoor visibility shouldn’t be a problem. Bezels are slim at 1.4mm, giving it a clean, sleek, and immersive look.
Hasselblad-powered Cameras
This is the main highlight of the phone. The Find X9 Ultra packs a Hasselblad-powered camera system with multiple focal lengths:
- 200MP main sensor, the largest of its kind
- 200MP sensor with 3x optical zoom
- 50MP ultra telephoto with a Quintuple Prism Reflection periscope and 10x optical zoom
- 50MP ultra-wide at 14mm
- 3.2M True Color sensor
It supports Hasselblad Hi-Res Mode, 16-bit RAW, lossless zoom up to 20x, and 8K video at 30fps. It’s also ACES-certified and works with Hasselblad’s Earth Explorer Kit and a 300mm teleconverter, pushing the zoom up to 600mm.
OPPO’s LUMO Image Engine is also on board, which uses real-time triple exposure to improve detail and dynamic range.
Flagship Performance & Massive Battery
Inside is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage. OPPO has not yet mentioned which configuration is coming to the country. It also has a 7,050mAh silicon-carbon battery that supports 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.
OPPO added a PowerCore chip for endurance and a vapor chamber cooling system to keep things stable.
Software and AI
The phone runs ColorOS 16 on Android 16. AI features include AI Mind Space (which you can quickly access via the Snap Key), AI Bill Manager, AI Menu Translation, AI Recording, and AI Writer.
For updates, it is expected to follow OPPO’s policy for premium phones, which offers up to 5 years of Android OS upgrades and 6 years of security patches.
For connectivity, Quick Share and O+ Connect let you move files easily across iOS, Mac, and Windows devices.
First Impressions
The OPPO Find X9 Ultra is shaping up to be a solid premium flagship. The design feels refined, the display is bright and sharp, and the camera system is clearly state-of-the-art.
With Philippine availability confirmed, the big question now is how much it will cost.
