Oppo's ultra phones have been steadily pushing closer to replacing a traditional camera, and the Find X9 Ultra may be the most convincing yet. In our testing, Digital Camera World found it to be hands-down one of the best camera phones on the market, and the closest a smartphone has yet come to feeling like a real camera in your pocket.
Now the Oppo Find X9 Ultra has picked up a major accolade, winning the prestigious EISA Photo & Video Smartphone 2026-2027 award. EISA praised its versatile focal-length range, premium quality and design, and the creative freedom it gives photographers, calling it a serious competitor to superzoom cameras.
The Find X9 Ultra's impressive camera system includes a 200MP 23mm main camera, a 50MP 14mm ultra-wide and two telephoto options: a 200MP 70mm camera and a 50MP 230mm super-telephoto. The 230mm camera also features sensor-shift stabilization, helping photographers capture sharper handheld images at extreme focal lengths.

"For photographers seeking the ultimate range, image quality and creative freedom in a smartphone, this is the place to look."
