Oppo appears to be testing an even larger dual-periscope camera for the Oppo Find X10 Ultra. According to the leaker Digital Chat Station, the 10x telephoto lens is set to feature a larger 50-megapixel sensor, while the 3x telephoto lens will offer a choice of two sensor variants, and the front camera could feature a square sensor modeled after Apple’s design. A market launch in early 2027 is considered likely. Important note: All specifications are based on a prototype and are not final.
Key points at a glance
- The Oppo Find X10 Ultra retains the rare dual-periscope setup consisting of 3x and 10x telephoto lenses, but according to the leak, it will feature larger sensors.
- For the 10x telephoto lens, Oppo is testing a 50-MP Samsung ISOCELL GNB sensor, a noticeable size upgrade over the current model.
- For the 3x telephoto lens, two options are on the table: the familiar 200-MP sensor with a size of around 1/1.3 inches, or a larger 1/1.12-inch sensor.
- The front camera could use a square sensor, similar to the Center Stage camera in the iPhone 17, reportedly with 100 MP.
- The source is the reliable leaker Digital Chat Station. The launch is expected in early 2027.
Two periscope lenses, now with more sensor area
For years, the appeal of Oppo’s Ultra series has been its zoom capabilities. While most flagships rely on a single telephoto lens plus digital tricks, Oppo incorporates two periscope cameras: one for 3x and one for 10x optical zoom. This combination is virtually unmatched on the market. The upcoming Ultra model is expected to inherit this exact setup, though with significantly larger sensors behind both lenses.
Digital Chat Station followed up on Weibo on July 2, 2026, after previously hinting at an upgrade for the 10x telephoto lens. As is typical with prototypes, quite a bit could still change before the device goes into mass production. Oppo is currently testing several sensor variants in parallel, and it remains to be seen which ones will make it into mass production.
The 10x telephoto: larger Samsung sensor under test
According to the leak, Oppo is testing a 50-MP Samsung ISOCELL GNB sensor for the 10x optical telephoto lens. This would be a significant size upgrade and would ensure cleaner images, especially in low light and at long focal lengths, because a larger sensor simply captures more light.
It’s worth taking a closer look here, as the sources aren’t entirely consistent. The original report states that the new sensor is larger than a “1/1.95-inch Sony Lytia 600” found in the current 10x telephoto lens. However, according to Oppo itself and several independent tests, the current Oppo Find X9 Ultra uses a 50-MP sensor in the 1/2.75-inch format (Samsung ISOCELL JNL) for its 10x zoom. The Sony LYT-600 (1/1.95-inch) was a previously rumored upgrade candidate, not the sensor actually used. For the GNB in the Find X10 Ultra, this means it would definitely be noticeably larger than what’s currently used in the 10x telephoto lens.
The 3x telephoto: two sensor options
According to the leak, Oppo has a choice between two 200-MP sensors for the 3x periscope lens. Option one is the sensor already familiar from the Find X9 Ultra, with a size of around 1/1.3 inches. Option two would be an even larger 1/1.12-inch sensor—exactly the same size currently used in the Find X9 Ultra’s main camera. A telephoto lens with a sensor the size of the main camera would be remarkable even for a flagship camera phone.

Square Front Camera Inspired by Apple
Things are also getting interesting on the front. In the comments on his Weibo post, the leaker confirms a front camera based on a square sensor, comparable to Apple’s Center Stage camera in the iPhone 17 generation. A square sensor has the advantage of allowing users to take portrait and landscape selfies without rotating the smartphone, and the camera can crop the image flexibly.
According to earlier reports, Oppo is opting for a significantly higher-resolution 100-MP sensor. It could debut as early as this fall with the standard Oppo Find X10 and then make its way into the Ultra model in 2027.
Oppo Find X9 Ultra vs. Find X10 Ultra: A Camera Comparison
The following table compares the confirmed specifications of the current Find X9 Ultra with the rumors surrounding the Find X10 Ultra. Please note that the information in the right-hand column is not yet final.
| Component | Find X9 Ultra (current) | Find X10 Ultra (Rumored) |
|---|---|---|
| 10x telephoto | 50 MP, 1/2.75″, Samsung ISOCELL JNL, f/3.5 | 50 MP, Samsung ISOCELL GNB (larger) |
| 3x telephoto | 200 MP, 1/1.28″, f/2.2 | 200 MP, approximately 1/1.3″ or 1/1.12″ |
| Main camera | 200 MP, 1/1.12″, Sony LYT-901, f/1.5 | TBD |
| Ultra-wide-angle | 50 MP, 1/1.95″, f/2.0 | TBD |
| Front camera | 50 MP (Samsung JN5), autofocus | Square sensor, approx. 100 MP |
| Periscope structure | Quintuple Prism Reflection, sensor-shift | Dual periscope remains |
When will the Oppo Find X10 Ultra be released?
There is no official release date. According to recent leaks, the standard Find X10 series—including the Find X10, Find X10 Pro, and Find X10 Pro Max—is expected to launch in China in the fall of 2026. Oppo traditionally releases the Ultra model later, so early 2027 is considered a realistic timeframe. Whether and when the device will be available in Germany remains to be seen. Still, its predecessor made the leap, as our report on Oppo’s return to the German market shows. If you’re interested, you can find the current Find X9 Ultra on Amazon.
The Bottom Line: Lots of Zoom, but Nothing Set in Stone Yet
For me, the Find X10 Ultra is already one of the most exciting camera projects for the coming year. Two true periscope lenses, plus two massive sensors and a possible 1/1.12-inch sensor in the 3x telephoto lens: That sounds like real zoom rather than marketing hype. But that’s exactly where the catch lies. Large sensors at long focal lengths need space, and moving subjects remain the weak point even on the best zoom smartphones. We’ll only see if Oppo can get a handle on this once we have real test shots.
Until then, the verdict is: exciting, but let’s wait and see. The leap from prototype to mass production often comes at the expense of certain specs, and the square front camera still has to prove that it’s more than just a nice idea from Apple. As soon as reliable information or first images become available, we’ll provide an update.
