OPPO Find X10 Pro Max and Find X10 · Three 200 MP cameras and 8,000 mAh

All figures below come from OPPO's own pages and store for both generations.

The smaller pair moved differently. The Find X10's main camera jumps from 50 MP to 200 MP on a 1/1.4-inch sensor, and its telephoto from a 50 MP 73 mm lens to a 200 MP 65 mm periscope – four times the pixels, but 3× optical reach falls to 2.8×. The battery grows from 7,025 to 8,000 mAh, and the body from 7.99 mm and 203 g to 8.35 mm and 216 g. The chip steps from the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 to the MediaTek Dimensity 9600M on the same 3 nm class and the same 4.21 GHz peak clock, and the 16 GB + 256 GB tier is gone. OPPO's store sells the Find X9 at ¥4,299 today against the Find X10's ¥5,499.

Is it worth the upgrade? From a Find X9 Pro, yes if you shoot wide or shoot video: two of the three cameras are new sensors and 8K Log is a real step, while the telephoto you already own has not moved. From a Find X9 the case is the main camera and the battery; the zoom is a trade rather than a gain.

OPPO unveiled the series in China on 22 September, and it has changed the line-up while it was at it. There is no plain Find X10 Pro this year: the Pro Max takes the Find X9 Pro's place, with the same 6.78-inch screen size and the same 70 mm telephoto focal length, and the Find X10 stays the compact one at 6.59 inches.

The two share more than the price gap suggests. Battery, charging, memory tiers, screen brightness, the water rating and the software are identical. What the Pro Max buys is concentrated in three places: a 200 MP ultrawide where the Find X10 has 50 MP, a larger main sensor and a brighter telephoto, and the 2 nm chip. It also weighs 17 to 19 g more.

The gap is ¥1,300 at the entry tier and ¥1,500 above it. If the 13 mm ultrawide is a lens you actually use, that is where the difference shows most; if you live on the main camera and the zoom, the Find X10 gives away less than its price suggests.

A third model, the Find X10 E, sits below both with a MediaTek Dimensity 9500s and three 50 MP rear cameras; it is an entry derivative and not covered here.

Two hundred megapixels on every lens is less about printing billboards than about cropping. A 200 MP frame can be cut down to a 50 MP or 12 MP picture and still hold detail, which is how OPPO fills the gaps between its lenses: the Pro Max offers 0.5×, 1×, 2×, 3× and 6× steps and records 8K photos and 4K Live Photos at every one of them.

The main camera is 200 MP at 24 mm and f/1.5 on a 1/1.3-inch sensor, stabilised to CIPA 6.5, which in practice means sharp handheld shots at slow shutter speeds after dark. OPPO co-developed the sensor technology behind it, called DeepPix, and rates this camera at 17 stops of dynamic range – enough to keep a bright window and a face in front of it both properly exposed.

The ultrawide is the lens that changed most: 200 MP at 13 mm and f/2.2 on a 1/1.56-inch sensor, the same size as the telephoto's. A bigger sensor behind the widest lens is what keeps landscapes and group shots clean at dusk, which is where ultrawides normally fall apart.

The telephoto is 200 MP at 70 mm and f/2.1 with 3× optical zoom, 120× digital, a CIPA 7.5 rating and focus down to 10 cm, so it doubles as a macro lens that keeps you out of your subject's shadow.

On the Find X10 the main camera is 200 MP at 23 mm and f/1.6 on a 1/1.4-inch sensor (CIPA 6.0), the telephoto a 200 MP periscope at 65 mm and f/2.6 with 2.8× optical zoom and CIPA 7.0, and the ultrawide a 50 MP 15 mm lens.

Beside the three cameras, both phones carry a fourth lens: OPPO's second-generation Danxia colour-restoration lens (19 mm, f/2.4), which samples the colour of the scene through 24 spectral channels so skin tones and landscapes keep their true colour. It now corrects video and Live Photos frame by frame too. For concerts OPPO sells a Hasselblad teleconverter kit, which mounts over the telephoto through its own case and adapter ring and stretches it to a 230 mm equivalent on the Pro Max and 253 mm on the Find X10, with a stage preset that keeps performers clearly visible.

Video is where the series moves furthest past its predecessors. Both phones record 8K at 30 fps in 10-bit Log with ACES colour management, which means a flat, grade-ready file rather than a finished look baked in. Open Gate records the full sensor area instead of a 16:9 crop, so one clip can be reframed later as a vertical short and a horizontal film; OPPO says no camera flagship of its own has offered it before, on the 0.5×, 1× and 3× lenses of the Pro Max and the 0.6×, 1× and 2.8× lenses of the Find X10.

On the Pro Max, 4K at 120 fps works at every optical-quality focal step, and both phones record Dolby Vision up to 4K at 120 fps. A horizon lock straightens the picture when the phone tilts by up to 5°. For the Pro Max, OPPO also lists TILTA's KHRONOS rig accessories, from ND filters to follow-focus handles. The selfie camera records 4K at 60 fps from 50 MP.

Both phones carry 8,000 mAh in a single cell with a spherical silicon-carbon anode, which OPPO calls the Glacier battery. It is the biggest battery OPPO has fitted to a Find phone, and it sits in bodies of 8.40 mm (Pro Max) and 8.35 mm (Find X10) – a lot of battery for a phone that thin. OPPO does not publish the silicon content or the energy density. Its durability claim is specific: at least 80% of capacity after five years of one full cycle every 1.25 days.

Charging is 80 W wired and 50 W wireless, the wireless figure faster than many phones charge over a cable, and a charger is in the box in China together with a case; the wireless charger is sold separately. Reverse charging is not mentioned anywhere on OPPO's pages for either phone, so we cannot tell you whether it tops up earbuds or a watch.

The MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro in the Pro Max is built on a 2 nm process with two ultra-large cores reaching 4.55 GHz; OPPO claims eight hours of a popular MOBA game at a locked 144 fps. The Find X10's MediaTek Dimensity 9600M is a 3 nm all-big-core chip at up to 4.21 GHz, rated for 120 fps in the same game. Both sit on a large vapour chamber.

The Pro Max's design is a nod to classic cameras: the square module's metal rim carries lens-style scale markings and an orange accent. The Moon White model alone gets what OPPO calls its camera-splice design, one sheet of glass finished in two textures; OPPO also lists a velvet-sand finish, and notes that Light Titanium is a colour name only, with no titanium in the body. The Find X10 uses velvet-finish glass, a metal frame and bezels of 0.99 mm on all four sides.

On both, the camera module sits in the top corner of the back, so the phone wobbles on a desk when you type on it.

Water resistance is as complete as it gets: IP66, IP68 and IP69, meaning 30 minutes in 1.5 m of still fresh water as well as high-pressure jets of 80 °C water, plus an SGS five-star drop certification. The ultrasonic fingerprint reader works with wet fingers.

The screens are flat AMOLED panels, 6.78 inches at 450 ppi on the Pro Max and 6.59 inches at 462 ppi on the Find X10, running 1 to 120 Hz and 144 Hz in selected games. OPPO quotes 2,000 nits as a full-screen peak and publishes no HDR highlight figure, so this cannot be lined up against the higher small-area numbers other brands print. The comfort side is stronger: brightness drops to 1 nit for reading in the dark, PWM dimming runs at 3,840 Hz so the screen does not flicker at low brightness, and TÜV Rheinland certifies both for flicker-free and low-blue-light hardware.

The Find X10 series launches ColorOS 17, with a new fluid animation system and a scheduler that learns which apps you keep in the background. OPPO's claim of six years of smoothness is a 72-month lab ageing test, not an update promise, and OPPO publishes no software update commitment for either phone.

The most practical addition is the bridge to Apple devices. With OPPO's connect app, photos, Live Photos and videos go to an iPhone with a tap, calls to your iPhone can be answered on the OPPO with its messages showing as notifications, and workout data from an Apple Watch carries over, so switching phones does not mean switching watches.

The AI features lean on the cloud: an AI note-taker that summarises meetings and videos, an AI photo editor that works from a sentence or a reference picture, and a point-and-ask camera mode that scans documents, translates menus or joins a Wi-Fi network from its label. The photo editor runs on a monthly quota that resets each month.

OPPO's own store lists four configurations of each and is taking full-payment pre-orders now, with shipping expected from 24 September.

For now this is a China-only launch, and OPPO does not sell phones in the US. Imported into a market where the brand does not officially sell it, the price gains customs duty and local VAT on top, so the real cost outside China is noticeably higher than the conversions above.
