| According to a reliable leaker, partially AI-generated renders supposedly reveal the final design of the Oppo Find X9 Ultra. |
For months, whispers and chipset rumors have been the only clues. Now, for the first time, we can truly visualize Oppo's next camera powerhouse. Exclusive render images have surfaced, offering our clearest look yet at the anticipated Oppo Find X9 Ultra and its radical new design philosophy.
This follows earlier spy shots that hinted at the device's external camera kit. Now, trusted Indian leaker Yogesh Brar, in collaboration with Smartprix, has revealed what is purported to be the final design of the upcoming Hasselblad flagship. Notably, this model is rumored to be part of a concerted push to target customers beyond China.
A quick but crucial disclaimer: these are not official marketing materials. These renders were created by the leaker, with some AI assistance, based on designs believed to be accurate. They give us a strong sense of the general aesthetic, though fine details could shift before launch. While the signature circular camera island remains, Oppo is making a dramatic departure in its choice of materials.
A Rugged, Premium Makeover: Metal Meets Faux Leather
Vegan leather backs have been common in the Chinese market, but Oppo seems to be elevating the concept. As the exclusive renders show, the Find X9 Ultra appears to feature a bold dual-tone design that mixes metal with a thick, textured leather-like material.
This isn't just about looks; it creates a more robust, distinct profile that stands out in a sea of glass slabs. According to the leak, this design will come in three primary colors: black, brown, and a yet-to-be-seen orange hue. While classic glass-back variants are also reportedly in the works, this assertive dual-tone leather look is expected to be the headline option.

Under the Hood: Specs That Match the Bold Exterior
If the design has your attention, the rumored spec sheet will quicken your pulse. The Find X9 Ultra is expected to be a true flagship in every sense:
- Processor: The cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
- Display: A massive 6.82-inch 2K (QHD+) 120 Hz AMOLED panel.
- Battery: A colossal 7,300 mAh cell, which would be a class-leading capacity.
But the true spectacle, as always, is the Hasselblad quad-camera system. It's rumored to feature a groundbreaking dual periscope telephoto setup, promising 10x optical zoom—a feat not seen since the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. This 10x lens is now said to use a 50MP LYT-600 sensor (1/1.95"), a notable upgrade from earlier rumors of an ISOCELL JN5. The ultrawide, however, will reportedly use the 50MP JN5 (1/2.76").
The two primary sensors are even more immense:
- A Sony 200MP LYT-901 (1/1.12", f/1.5) as the main camera.
- An Omnivision 200MP sensor (1/1.28", f/2.2) for a 3x optical zoom.
The innovation continues: leakers suggest the 3x telephoto can be optionally combined with a 300mm teleconverter attachment to achieve an astounding 13.2x optical zoom, bypassing digital enhancement. Rounding out the package is a rumored 50MP front-facing camera.
Launch Timeline: Global Ambitions
The Oppo Find X9 Ultra is currently expected to debut in China at the start of Q2 2024, likely in April. A global launch is then anticipated to follow shortly after, which Yogesh Brar confirms aligns with Oppo's broader international strategy for this model. If these specs and design hold true, Oppo isn't just iterating—it's aiming to redefine the premium Android landscape.
