Oppo Readies Find X10 Ultra With 1/1.95-Inch 10x Sensor to Fix 50MP Low-Light Zoom

Summary

  • Leaks point to Oppo equipping the Find X10 Ultra with a much larger 1/1.95-inch sensor for its 50MP 10x periscope camera, targeting a key weakness in the current model.
  • The Find X9 Ultra’s 10x lens uses a smaller 1/2.75-inch sensor, which has lagged the phone’s 3x periscope in low light despite delivering 230mm-equivalent reach and up to 20x “optical-quality” zoom.
  • Digital Chat Station said the upgraded 10x module is not Sony’s LYT-600, though the exact sensor remains unknown; the larger unit should improve light capture, reduce noise and sharpen dim-scene results.
  • The move suggests Oppo is prioritizing true long-range optical zoom for its 2027 Hasselblad flagship as it competes in the premium camera-phone segment and reportedly advances faster than some delayed rival Ultra models.
