- At MWC 2026, OPPO announced plans to bring the OPPO X9 Ultra to global markets (excluding the US).

- Detailed specs remain unknown for now, but OPPO says it will reveal more ahead of its launch later this year.
Announcement at MWC 2026
The OPPO Find X9 and X9 Pro launched globally last year, delivering notable improvements over their predecessors. At the MWC 2026, OPPO announced plans to launch the OPPO X9 Ultra for the European market. This is significant because the Ultra line has previously shipped only in China.
Current Information
The OPPO X9 Ultra isn’t expected to arrive until later this year, and official specifications or images have not been released. However, a few rumors provide some insight into its design and capabilities:
- The phone is likely to feature a sizable camera bump, aligning with OPPO’s focus on camera performance.
- OPPO markets the device as “built to be your next camera,” promising professional‑grade imaging.
Camera Rumors
Previous coverage praised the X9 Pro for its 200 MP telephoto lens and 50 MP main camera. The Ultra model is rumored to push the envelope further:
- 10× 50 MP periscope camera
- 200 MP “super‑large” main camera
- 200 MP “mid‑telephoto” camera
If these rumors are accurate, the hardware package would be exceptionally powerful.
Launch Outlook
OPPO has indicated that more specifics will be revealed as the launch approaches later this year. While the device is slated for a global release, it is expected to be limited to Europe and Asia, with no plans for a US market launch.
