the mobile that could stand up to the Galaxy S26 Ultra with two 200 megapixel cameras
Oppo has confirmed at MWC 2026 in Barcelona that its next flagship, the Find X9 Ultra, will launch in Europe, and that includes Spain. It is relevant news because no Ultra model of the Find X series had ever reached the Spanish market. The announcement was made by Elvis Zhou, CEO of Oppo for Europe, at the end of a media presentation during the congress.
Zhou did not give a specific date, but he did hint that the arrival will be “very, very soon”. The deadlines indicate that China will receive the phone at the end of March, and that the global launch, including Europe, would occur in April. To put that in context, the Find X8 Ultra, which remained exclusive to China, debuted on April 10, 2025 and went on sale less than a week later.
This is not the first time this has happened in the premium segment. Xiaomi also took several years to bring the most advanced variant in its catalog to Spain, until the Xiaomi 17 Ultra finally crossed that barrier. Now, Oppo is following a similar path.
What to expect from the Find X9 Ultra: huge battery and camera signed with Hasselblad
Zhou confirmed that the camera system has been newly developed in collaboration with Hasselblad, the professional photography firm, and will incorporate its color science into image processing. Beyond that, official specifications have yet to be released, but rumors leading up to the announcement had already drawn a fairly detailed profile of the device.
According to leaks from tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the Find X9 Ultra will feature two 200 megapixel rear cameras: a main and a periscopic telephoto lens. The third lens would be an additional 50-megapixel periscopic telephoto lens with 10x optical zoom. The system would allow reaching a native focal length equivalent to 230 mm, with optical quality results up to 460 mm.
It is worth understanding what this means in practice. He periscopic zoom is a technology that doubles the optical path inside the phone using a prism, allowing for greater magnification without increasing the thickness of the device. And when talking about a one inch sensor This refers to the area of the sensor that captures the light: the larger the surface area, the more light enters and the better the result in difficult conditions, such as indoors or at night.
As for the battery, Oppo has already officially confirmed that it will exceed 7,000 mAh, and rumors place it in a range between 7,050 and 7,500 mAh. The expected processor is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and the screen would point to a 1440p OLED panel with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, manufactured by BOE.
An increasingly competitive market in the ultra range
The arrival of the Find X9 Ultra in Spain poses direct competition with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, currently the benchmark in the segment in the Spanish market. Both devices aim at a user profile that prioritizes advanced mobile photography and does not skimp on budget.
The Find X9 Ultra also arrives with the recent memory of what its predecessor was. The Find X8 Ultra was considered one of last year’s best in the camera department, with a compact design for everything it offered in terms of photographic hardware. The problem was that it never left China. This time, if nothing changes, the story seems to go another way.
