Oppo’s Find Ultra series has built a strong reputation for its dual periscope camera setup, and if the latest leaks are accurate, the Find X10 Ultra could push that concept further than ever. Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, who has a solid track record with Oppo hardware details, has now shared what appear to be specs from an early test unit of the phone.
According to NotebookCheck, the Find X10 Ultra is being tested with larger sensors on both its 3x and 10x periscope telephoto cameras, along with a square-sensor front camera similar to what Apple uses for Center Stage on the iPhone 17. These are early test specs, so they could change before the phone hits mass production.
The Find X9 Ultra already placed third in NotebookCheck’s 2026 camera flagship ranking, behind the Vivo X300 Ultra and Vivo X300 Pro. Its dual periscope setup, covering 3x and 10x zoom with Hasselblad tuning, is still one of the more unusual configurations in the market. The X10 Ultra appears to be building on that foundation rather than rethinking it.
For the 10x telephoto, Oppo is reportedly testing a 50-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL GNB sensor. That would be a meaningful step up from the 1/1.95-inch Sony Lytia 600 used in the current model. A larger sensor at 10x zoom is hard to pull off in a slim phone body, so this would be a notable engineering effort if it makes it to final production.
The 3x periscope situation is less clear. Two options are reportedly on the table:
- The same 200-megapixel 1/1.3-inch sensor used in the Find X9 Ultra
- A larger 200-megapixel 1/1.12-inch sensor, similar to what currently sits in the main camera position
The second option would give the 3x lens more light-gathering surface area, which matters more in low light than the megapixel count suggests. Whether Oppo goes with the familiar option or the larger one likely comes down to heat management, physical space inside the chassis, and final image quality results during validation.
The front camera is also worth noting. Digital Chat Station confirmed in a Weibo comment that Oppo is testing a square sensor for the selfie camera, much like the approach Apple took with Center Stage. Earlier reports had suggested this could be a 100-megapixel sensor, which would be significantly higher resolution than most front cameras on the market. The square format lets the phone use a wide field of view for video calling while keeping the sensor efficient for standard selfie framing.
This front camera technology could actually show up earlier than the X10 Ultra itself. There are indications it might debut with the standard Find X10 later in 2025, before making its way to the Ultra model in 2027. That would give Oppo time to refine the software and hardware before putting it in the flagship tier.
The broader context here is that the top end of the Android camera market has become extremely competitive. Vivo, Xiaomi, and Oppo are all pushing sensor size and zoom capability at the same time, which means each generation needs a clear reason to exist. For Oppo, the dual periscope angle is that reason, and making both of those sensors larger gives the X10 Ultra a story that neither Vivo nor Xiaomi currently matches. Whether the final product delivers on these early specs remains to be seen, but the direction is clear.
