After Qualcomm officially announced that the "Snapdragon 8Elite2" was scheduled to be released on September 23, the iteration time of the Android camp's new round of flagships gradually pointed to October-December this year. As time approaches, new phone revelations from major manufacturers have gradually become denser, especially in the core battlefield of imaging systems, the competition among leading brands is becoming increasingly fierce.
The latest news points out that OPPO's next-generation ultra-large cup image flagship new phone is expected to bring new lens specifications, with the core equipped with Snapdragon 8Elite2+ quad-camera dual periscope, and is currently evaluating two different sets of lens stacking solutions. The new phone may be launched in December this year, which will bring users an unprecedented photo experience. The news has caused heated discussions on the Internet.
From the blogger @Digital Chat Site According to recent revelations, the supporting solutions are being evaluated internally by Green Factory SM8850 super cup engineering machine, and the corresponding chips and models are Snapdragon 8Elite2 and Find X9 Ultra respectively. The revelations pointed out that this new machine is evaluating two sets of high-spec four-photographing solutions.
It is reported that the similarity between these two solutions is that they are equipped with a 200-pixel main camera (1/1.12-inch large bottom) and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. The difference is mainly concentrated on the combination of the telephoto part:
* Solution 1: Use a 200-megapixel large bottom periscope telephoto (predicted to be 3 times) + a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto (predicted to be 10 times);
* Solution 2: 50-megapixel 1/1.3-inch 3X periscope telephoto + 50-megapixel 6X periscope telephoto.
It can be seen that OPPO Find X9 Ultra is exploring a focal combination that is more suitable for mobile photography scenes. The main focus of solution 1 is ultra-high resolution + long-distance closer capability. Especially if the 200 million pixel large-sole telephoto is adjusted in place, it will bring a qualitative leap in detail capture, such as the image quality of 10-30x zoom photography significantly improved.
Solution 2 focuses on focal length continuity and imaging stability. Good image quality control can be achieved from medium-close distance (3X) to medium-long distance (6X), and is suitable for zoom scenes with higher daily shooting frequency, such as portrait photography, macro shooting, close-up realism recording, etc., which are expected to be qualitatively improved.
As a comparison, the OPPO currently on sale The Find X8 Ultra was released in April this year, with a standard 12+256GB storage, priced at 6,499 yuan to start. The image adopts a luxury five-camera system, including the following lenses:
•50-megapixel LYT900 one-inch main camera (supports OIS);
•50-megapixel JN5 ultra-wide-angle lens;
•50-megapixel LYT700 night-view portrait telephoto lens (3x, 1/1.56-inch);
•50-megapixel LYT600 periscope telephoto lens (6x, 1/1.95-inch);
•2-megapixel multi-spectral Danxia original color lens.
It can be seen that the OPPO Find X8 Ultra has a very high stacking specification in telephoto, and it has outstanding performance in night scene shooting and portrait shooting. But in the face of a new round of super-large cup image flagship war, OPPO is obviously not satisfied with this.
It is also worth noting that according to the release pace of the Snapdragon 8Elite2 flagship chip, it is expected that the Xiaomi 16 series, OPPO Find X9 series, and vivo X300 series will be launched one after another in September and October, first playing in the "middle cup" and "big cup" markets, and then further consolidating the high-end position through the "Ultra Super Cup" at the end of the year or early next year. Therefore, the Find X9 Ultra may officially debut in December this year as soon as possible, forming a head-on competition with Xiaomi 16 Ultra and vivo X300 Ultra and other super-large cup new machines.
In general, the super-large cup image flagship has become a key model for major manufacturers to impact the high-end market. Everyone is trying to break through the technical difficulties of the imaging system, especially the two major problems of "focal length fault" and "far-focus image quality collapse". The "dual periscope + large-sole main camera" solution prepared by OPPO for Find X9 Ultra will launch an impact on stronger telephoto capabilities. If it can be formed in the end, no matter which solution is set, it will pose a strong challenge to the mainstream "main shot + middle shot + telephoto" structure in the industry. This is undoubtedly good news for image enthusiasts and is worth looking forward to.
