Oppo's Find X9 Ultra and Vivo's X300 Ultra arrive as the latest ultra‑flagship cameras, each pairing a 200‑megapixel main sensor with a dedicated teleconverter lens. Oppo leans on its Hasselblad tie‑in for software tweaks, while Vivo taps Zeiss for optics and color science. Both aim to replace a standalone camera for enthusiasts. Both phones ship with the optional glass teleconverter kits for added reach.

The Find X9 Ultra houses a 1/1.28‑inch 200MP primary sensor at f/1.5, a 200MP 3× telephoto and a 50MP 10× ultra‑telephoto with sensor‑shift stabilization, plus a 50MP ultra‑wide and a 3.2MP multispectral unit. Vivo’s X300 Ultra uses a slightly larger 1/1.12‑inch 200MP sensor at f/1.85, a 50MP ultra‑wide with OIS, and a 200MP 3.7× telephoto, complemented by a Zeiss‑treated lens.

Vivo claims the longest optical reach, offering a 400mm (≈17× zoom) teleconverter that tops Oppo’s 300mm 13× Explorer attachment. In practice, Oppo’s 10× built‑in lens retains better low‑light performance thanks to a larger aperture, while Vivo’s converter suffers from shake and reduced clarity. For video, the X300 Ultra delivers 4K/120fps 10‑bit log with APV 422, positioning it as a serious secondary cam.
