OPPO’s ambitious plans for a ‘supersized’ smartphone variant may be facing a significant revision. Latest rumors suggest that the project, identified as the OPPO Find X10 Ultra, which was anticipated to be a true flagship, has been put on hold.
Shifting Manufacturer Plans
A hint regarding changes in a manufacturer’s lineup of ‘supersized’ devices emerged from insider @数码闲聊站. While the specific brand wasn’t explicitly named, subsequent comments from the insider and online user speculation strongly point towards the current generation of flagship models. Considering previous leaks, the consensus is that the OPPO Find X10 Ultra is the device in question.
This isn’t the first indication of potential issues with the device. Just two days prior, on November 4th, the same insider reported that the OPPO Find X10 Ultra, internally codenamed ‘Nebula,’ was undergoing testing with a new 2nm Dimensity 9600 Pro chip. If realized, this would have positioned it as the first ‘supersized’ device powered by a Dimensity chipset.
What the Find X10 Ultra Promised
Based on earlier leaks, the OPPO Find X10 Ultra was poised to impress users with a host of innovative features. Key highlights reportedly included:
- A unique 10x periscope telephoto lens, promising unprecedented zoom capabilities.
- A 200-megapixel high-dynamic-range camera, designed to deliver exceptional photo quality across various lighting conditions.
- A 6.89-inch 2K+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate from BOE, featuring exceptionally slim bezels on all four sides for an immersive, full-screen experience.
These specifications positioned the OPPO Find X10 Ultra as a potentially leading contender in the smartphone market.
Previous Statements and an Uncertain Future
Adding context to the situation is a statement from Zhuo Shijie, who indicated that the OPPO Find X10 Ultra would not be released this year. This suggests the project may indeed be halted, or its launch postponed indefinitely, possibly until next year.
The exact reasons behind this decision remain undisclosed. Potential factors could include technical hurdles, shifts in the company’s strategy, or prevailing market conditions. Regardless of the cause, this news is likely to be a disappointment for brand enthusiasts who were anticipating a truly groundbreaking smartphone.
