OPPO Find X9 Ultra to bring 10x optical zoom with new prism camera
OPPO is set to launch the OPPO Find X9 Ultra in India, introducing a major leap in smartphone photography with its industry-first quintuple prism periscope system. This redesigned camera structure reflects light five times within a compact module, enabling true 10x optical zoom (around 230mm focal length) without increasing device size.
The device focuses on capturing more detail optically rather than relying heavily on software processing. It also features advanced sensor-shift stabilisation for sharper long-range shots and a Pristine Optical Path design to maintain image clarity.
Alongside this, the phone includes a Hasselblad-tuned multi-camera setup with a 200MP main sensor, additional telephoto lenses, and a 50MP ultra-wide camera. The result is a versatile, high-performance camera system aimed at delivering consistent results across distance, lighting, and shooting scenarios.
