Oppo Find X10 Pro Max launches with three 200-megapixel cameras
Oppo’s new phone goes on sale in the UK for £1,499 as Philippine pre-orders open, with three high-resolution rear cameras at the centre of its pitch.
Oppo’s Find X10 Pro Max launched on October 21 with three 200-megapixel rear cameras, putting high-resolution photography at the centre of a phone that Engadget says goes on sale in the UK that day for £1,499. Philippine pre-orders also begin October 21, according to YugaTech. The separate reports give buyers in those markets their first confirmed sales details for the new model.
The cameras cover the main, telephoto and ultrawide views. Unbox PH, whose writer handled the phone at an Oppo event, describes it as the first phone with three 200-megapixel cameras and says each can record 8K video at 30 frames per second or 4K at 120 frames per second. Those specifications give all three rear cameras the same headline resolution, although their sensors and lenses differ.
How the Find X10 Pro Max cameras differ
Unbox PH lists a 1/1.3-inch main sensor with a 24mm-equivalent lens, f/1.5 aperture and two-axis optical image stabilization. Its ultrawide camera has a 13mm-equivalent lens and autofocus; the telephoto has a 70mm-equivalent lens, two-axis optical stabilization and a 10cm close-up macro mode. YugaTech identifies the main sensor as Samsung’s ISOCELL HPC and the telephoto and ultrawide sensors as ISOCELL HP5 units.
The resolution figures alone do not settle how the cameras perform. Engadget says the Find X10 Pro Max’s 1/1.3-inch main sensor is smaller than the 1/1.12-inch main sensor in Oppo’s Find X9 Ultra. In the hands-on writer’s image comparison, the X9 Ultra handled low light better, particularly in Hasselblad Master mode. That is one reporter’s observation from a comparison, rather than a comprehensive test of either phone.
UK price and Philippine pre-orders
Engadget places the Pro Max above last year’s Find X9 Pro and below the Find X9 Ultra in Oppo’s range. Its reported £1,499 UK price is £400 higher than the Find X9 Pro’s. UK buyers can choose a teleconverter kit, Watch X3 smartwatch or Pad 5 tablet as a free accessory. Engadget also reports an additional £100 discount for purchases before October 28 and a trade-in discount of up to £250 for an Oppo or OnePlus phone.
Unbox PH lists the 16GB/512GB Pro Max at PHP 129,999 in the Philippines, while YugaTech says pre-orders start October 21. Engadget reports a wider launch across Europe, Asia and other territories, but says the phone will be hard to obtain in the United States at launch.
The Pro Max arrives alongside a less expensive standard Find X10. Tech Advisor lists that model at £1,099, with 200-megapixel main and telephoto cameras but a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera. The distinction gives buyers considering the two models a concrete camera difference beyond the Pro Max’s larger price tag.
