The Oppo Find X9 Ultra, set to launch April 22, has begun its pre-release hype campaign with teaser videos highlighting its camera capabilities in extreme environments. Photographer Jerome and explorer Guille captured an eagle hunter in Kyrgyzstan’s mountains using a 600mm Hasselblad add-on lens, showcasing the device’s ability to shoot at 10x zoom without additional gear. The footage, taken in 8K 10-bit with O-Log2, emphasizes color grading precision for professional results.

In Iceland, the team tested the phone’s versatility with the TILTA Khronos Creator Kit, mounting it on a motorized jib and drone for dynamic handheld and aerial shots. The kit’s adjustable grip and ND filter compatibility allowed seamless transitions between static and motion-heavy scenes. Both videos were shot using 3D LUTs to preview final color grades on-location, streamlining post-production workflows.

A dedicated video demonstrated the X9 Ultra’s 10x optical zoom, emphasizing its standalone performance without lens accessories. This aligns with Oppo’s strategy to position the device as a hybrid tool for both photographers and videographers. The teaser campaign underscores Oppo’s focus on merging rugged durability with studio-grade imaging, targeting consumers who demand versatility in challenging conditions.

The Find X9 Ultra’s global launch will coincide with the Find X9s release, suggesting a coordinated rollout for Oppo’s flagship lineup. While specifics about pricing and availability remain undisclosed, the emphasis on professional-grade features hints at a premium positioning in the competitive smartphone market.
