Overview
- Oppo’s Find X9 Ultra draws wide interest in a GSMArena poll, yet only about half of those fans say they can afford it, with pricing discussed around €1,700 and buyers eyeing trade‑ins and bundle perks.
- Oppo says the flagship is headed to India soon, with a selective global rollout and local India pricing still unannounced.
- The camera‑first phone targets creators with two 200MP sensors, a 10x optical periscope, Hasselblad tuning, Lumo internal zoom tech, and pro video at up to 8K/30 or 4K/120 in 10‑bit Log.
- Huawei’s new Pura 90 Pro Max brings a 10‑stop physical variable aperture and an RYYB sensor that the company says improves light capture, and reports suggest Apple is exploring variable aperture for future iPhone 18 Pro models.
- The Verge now calls Vivo’s X300 Ultra the camera to beat for its balanced three‑lens system and 35mm‑style main camera, highlighting how Ultra phones are competing most fiercely on imaging rather than core specs.
