- The Oppo Find X9 Ultra is launching globally on April 21
- That ‘global’ launch probably won’t include the US
- This could be the best camera phone we’ve ever tested
When it comes to mobile photography, we found that the Oppo Find X8 Ultra beat most rivals hands-down, but it wasn’t easily available outside China. The Oppo Find X9 Ultra, however, is soon launching globally — and it’s likely to be even more impressive.
Pete Lau — the Chief Product Officer at Oppo — has posted on X that the phone will be launching globally on April 21. That’s the same date as the launch in China, so unlike some Chinese phones, we seemingly won’t even have to wait longer for a launch outside its home country.
That said, ‘global’ doesn’t necessarily mean the Find X9 Ultra will be sold everywhere — we wouldn’t expect an official release in the US, for example, based on past form, but there’s a good chance it will be available in the UK.

Big specs and a major upgrade
We also don’t yet know for sure what specs this phone will arrive with, but content creator Sanju Choudhary has posted a handy breakdown of the rumored upgrades, which include a new 200MP main sensor and a 200MP 3x telephoto camera, in place of 50MP modules on the current model.
That’s not the end of the Find X9 Ultra’s camera story either, with the phone also rumored to have a 50MP ultra-wide, a 50MP periscope camera, and a 50MP selfie snapper.
Other rumored specs include a massive 7,050mAh battery with 100W charging, a top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, and a 6.82-inch 120Hz screen. So, this could be a real powerhouse of a phone.
But its cameras will likely be the stars of the show, with commentators describing the Find X9 Ultra as “a camera re-engineering project disguised as a phone.” So, in short, if you want a phone that doesn’t compromise on cameras, you might want to consider Oppo’s incoming flagship for your next upgrade.
Still, it remains to be seen how good the Oppo Find X9 Ultra will be in practice, so stay tuned to TechRadar for our hands-on impressions once it launches.
