Oppo reportedly stopped developing the Find X10 Ultra, as expensive chips and the trend of wide phones are expected after the Ultra series

The Oppo Find X Ultra lineup, which in recent years brought several photography breakthroughs, may be coming to an end. According to the Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station—whose leaks have often been confirmed in the past—Oppo has paused development of further Ultra models, and it even concerns the current generation. That means the Find X10 Ultra, which was supposed to launch at the beginning of next year, might never make it to the market.

The report was brought by the Notebookcheck website, and for now it’s an unverified leak, as Oppo hasn’t commented on it officially. Just two days ago, however, we wrote that Find X10 Ultra is said to have three 200 Mpx cameras and a 10× telephoto lens.

Why would Oppo cancel Ultra

The leaker lists two reasons. The first is that processor and memory chip prices are rising sharply—meaning a phone with the newest Snapdragon, lots of memory, a huge battery, and three 200 Mpx sensors would cost so much that only a small number of people would buy it. Even the current Find X10 Pro Max with three 200 Mpx cameras is getting close in price to the foldable Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, so Ultra would be even more expensive.

The second reason is changing user habits—according to Oppo, people are moving away from narrow, classic phones toward wider devices. Oppo therefore wants to narrow the lineup in the Find X line in 2027 and focus more on the wide format. It’s unclear whether the changes will also affect the foldable Find N phones.

Oppo isn’t the only one

Similar news has also appeared in recent weeks for other brands. Xiaomi is said to have canceled the 18 Ultra model due to high costs, with the reasons including the rising prices of memory, and the iQOO 16 Ultra, according to leaks in 2027, also may not make it. Another leaker also claims that in India, the launch of OnePlus 16 and Find X10 Ultra was canceled, which adds even more credibility to the whole story.

If the leak is confirmed, the current Find X9 Ultra will remain the last photography phone in its series. We recently offered it in the global version, and today it’s among the best camera phones you can buy.

What Oppo is preparing instead of Ultra

The answer to the trend of wide phones should be a model with a 6.35-inch display with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels. The bezels around the display are said to be only about 1 mm, and the body will be roughly 81 mm wide—more than today’s Find X9 Ultra. Test units are reportedly powered by a flagship Dimensity chip and feature an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader, with the first release expected to be an expensive flagship model, and later maybe a thinner version focused on the camera.

According to the leaker, Oppo is also preparing an entirely new product—a pocket camera with stabilization like a gimbal. Older leaks say vivo is working on a similar camera too, and both could have a 200 Mpx sensor with a 1/1.12″ size, like you can find today in the Find X9 Ultra, along with a collaboration with Hasselblad or ZEISS.
