OPPO Find X9 Series Ignites a Pixel Quality Revolution with Three Key Innovations
According to Zhou Yibao, head of OPPO’s Find series, the Find X9 series is set to revolutionize image quality with three major advancements: the full-fledged LYT-828 sensor, Hasselblad’s genuine 200-megapixel imaging, and Hasselblom 8K ultra-clear photos with full-focal-length direct output. He emphasized that the Find X9 series will exclusively feature Hasselblad image quality, not just in the Pro version.
It’s a common observation that even with the advent of 200-megapixel cameras in smartphones, the output often defaults to 12-megapixel images. While these images may appear satisfactory at first glance, they tend to lose detail when magnified, especially during travel when one desires to capture both expansive landscapes and clear, well-posed portraits. This limitation has become increasingly apparent as users demand more from their mobile photography.
The Find X9 series introduces an unprecedented breakthrough. In standard photo mode, without the need to switch to different modes or manually enable any settings, and under permissive lighting and functional conditions, the Find X9 is capable of capturing true 50-megapixel photos. These images are enhanced with Hasselblad color tones, Danxia color rendition, and ProXDR technology.
Uniquely, while the industry trend is to devolve “Pro features” to standard models, OPPO has taken the opposite approach by allowing the algorithms developed for the standard version to enhance the Pro version. It is precisely this ability to enable “true 50-megapixel” output in the standard version that allows for the impressive “true 200-megapixel” capability in the Pro model. This is a bold move, rarely attempted by smartphone manufacturers, especially when achieved within the default shooting mode.
To achieve this significant advancement, OPPO has introduced the all-new LUMO Hyper-Clarity Engine. This engine systematically reconstructs the entire imaging pipeline. Firstly, the multi-frame processing strategy has been upgraded to intelligently distinguish between detail and noise, actively preserving valuable information rather than merely stacking frames mechanically. Secondly, the SoC rendering pipeline has been reconfigured, ensuring each component functions optimally to maximize efficiency and overcome bottlenecks related to computing power, memory, and power consumption for swift and effective execution.
Zhou Yibao further elaborated that image quality is never solely about numerical specifications; optical quality, sensors, and algorithms are all indispensable. The pursuit is not for “megapixel counts on paper,” but for details that hold up under magnification. By establishing the standard version as the foundation for this image quality revolution, the Pro version acts as its vanguard. To provide users with a more intuitive understanding of this impact, these high-resolution images are referred to as “Hasselblad 8K Ultra-Clear Photos.”
In summary, the key highlights of the OPPO Find X9 series are:
- The exclusive Hasselblad Quad-Camera Ultra-Clear Imaging System for the standard version.
- Industry-first full-link 4K Ultra-Clear Live Photos.
- Pro-grade Sony LYTIA flagship main camera with a large sensor and wide aperture.
- Pro-grade Sony LYTIA flagship periscope telephoto lens with a large sensor.
- Danxia color reproduction lens, identical to the Ultra model.
- 10-bit 4K/120fps Log video recording, also from the Ultra model.
- New Hasselblad professional photography accessories, making their debut with the standard version.
