TL;DR
- A well-known source of smartphone leaks suggests development on the OPPO Find X10 Ultra may have been paused.
- If true, this would be a big shock to the industry, since the Find X10 Ultra was one of the most anticipated camera phones.
- The flagship was rumored to feature an extensive rear camera setup, including three 200MP cameras and a 50MP unit.
OPPO’s Find X10 Ultra, the follow-up to last year’s Find X9 Ultra, may be canceled. The upcoming flagship has generated plenty of excitement in the smartphone industry, thanks largely to its rumored camera upgrades. But the company appears to have hit a roadblock.
According to prominent leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo, OPPO has “suspended” its upcoming flagship. While no precise details were provided, the source’s phrasing strongly suggests that this likely refers to the Find X10 Ultra.
A comment from the same source clarifies that the current-generation model has been canned. We haven’t heard from OPPO officially on the Find X10 Ultra’s fate, so it’s wise to take this info with a grain of salt until we get a clearer picture of the manufacturer’s plans.
Since the Find X9 Ultra launched this May, the successor wasn’t expected to arrive anytime soon. Still, it would be nothing short of surprising if OPPO decides to pause development on what was shaping up to be a camera powerhouse.
A leak this week claimed the Find X10 Ultra would feature a 200MP primary camera, coupled with a 200MP ultrawide unit, a 200MP 3x periscope telephoto, and a 50MP 10X periscope telephoto sensor, fitting for the successor to one of the best camera phones in the business.
If this new revelation by Digital Chat Station pans out, it would be a major disappointment for camera enthusiasts, especially those impressed by the Find X9 Ultra’s capabilities. One can’t help but wonder whether the ongoing RAMageddon may have played a part in OPPO’s supposed decision to halt development on its upcoming flagship.
We’ll keep an ear to the ground for more details on the Find X10 Ultra and its rumored early demise.
