Oppo Tests Find X10 Ultra With 200MP, 50MP Dual Periscope Cameras

Q: With its rumored professional-grade cameras, will the Oppo Find X10 Ultra's final price make it a niche luxury item?

Yes. If Oppo ships anything close to these test-camera specs, the Find X10 Ultra is likely to land as a premium niche flagship rather than a mass-market phone. The clearest clue is the starting point. Its predecessor, the Find X9 Ultra, launched globally at about €1,699.99/£1,449 and was already positioned as a camera-first device. The rumored X10 Ultra would add or retain some of the most expensive mobile imaging hardware in the market: a dual-periscope system, a larger 50MP sensor for the 10x zoom, a possible 200MP 1/1.12-inch-class sensor for the 3x camera, and potentially a 100MP square front camera. Those parts are costly not just because of the sensors, but because periscope optics, prism alignment, stabilization, and lens quality all raise manufacturing complexity. That does not mean it would be “luxury” in the fashion-phone sense. It would more likely be a specialist ultra-flagship aimed at photography enthusiasts, creators, and buyers willing to pay for top-tier zoom and imaging flexibility. The market has shown there is demand for that segment, especially as camera quality remains one of the strongest purchase drivers in premium phones. The main caveat is that these are still test-unit specifications. Oppo could scale back some hardware before launch to control cost. But based on the X9 Ultra’s pricing and the rumored camera ambitions, the Find X10 Ultra is more likely to be an expensive halo product than a broadly accessible flagship.

Q: Could Oppo's rumored 100MP square selfie camera make rotating your phone for the perfect shot a thing of the past?

Yes—if Oppo ships the rumored 100MP square front camera with software similar to Apple’s Center Stage, it could largely remove the need to rotate the phone for many selfies and front-camera videos. The reason is the sensor shape. A square sensor captures extra image area compared with a conventional rectangular selfie camera, giving the phone more room to crop for either portrait or landscape output without losing as much of the scene. That means users could hold the phone in one orientation and still get a well-framed shot for different platforms or use cases. The reported 100MP resolution would matter too. A very high-resolution square sensor could let Oppo crop aggressively while still preserving detail, which is especially useful for group selfies, vlogging, and video calls. The added image area could also help the camera automatically reframe subjects, keep more people in view, or simulate a wider field of view without forcing users to reposition the phone. That said, it would not make rotation obsolete in every case. Final image quality will depend on lens quality, sensor size, processing, and how well Oppo implements autofocus, stabilization, and auto-framing. And these specs are still based on test units, so the feature could change before launch. Still, if the rumor is accurate, Oppo’s square 100MP selfie camera would be a meaningful quality-of-life upgrade and could make switching phone orientation far less necessary for everyday front-camera shooting.

Oppo is testing a flagship camera system built around dual periscope telephoto lenses, with a 200-megapixel module paired with a 50-megapixel super-telephoto camera.
The 50MP periscope is tipped to deliver 10x optical zoom, while the 200MP unit uses an about 1/1.3-inch sensor; the final 200MP sensor choice is still unsettled.
An even larger 1/1.12-inch sensor was evaluated earlier for the 200MP periscope, but that setup remains under review rather than locked in for production.
The phone is widely expected to be the Find X10 Ultra, which earlier leaks linked to a 6.89-inch 2K LTPO display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and a battery above 7,000mAh.
Oppo product manager Zhou Yibao has said the Find X10 Ultra will not launch in 2026, pointing to a likely first-quarter 2027 debut.
