Oppo Find X10 Standard Model Poised for Major Telephoto Camera Upgrade

New leaks from trusted industry sources suggest Oppo plans a substantial camera upgrade for its next-generation flagship series. According to tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the standard Oppo Find X10 model currently undergoing testing features a 200MP periscope telephoto camera – a major leap from the 50MP unit in its predecessor.

This potential upgrade addresses one of the key differentiators between Oppo's current flagship tiers. The 2025 Find X9 series maintained a clear separation between models: while the Pro variant featured a sophisticated 200MP 1/1.56" periscope telephoto lens, the standard model settled for a smaller 50MP 1/1.95" sensor. Our hands-on evaluation found this configuration produced competent but unexceptional telephoto results compared to premium competitors, particularly in challenging lighting conditions where the Pro's larger sensor maintained clearer detail.

The leaked information indicates Oppo might be elevating the standard model's photographic capabilities closer to Pro territory. While it's unclear whether the Find X10 will adopt the Samsung Isocell HP5 sensor from the Find X9 Pro or a newer alternative, the core upgrade centers on sensor size. The larger imaging surface fundamentally improves light capture – translating to better low-light performance, reduced noise, and increased cropping flexibility without quality degradation. For context, the 1/1.56" sensor in the Pro model captures approximately 56% more light per pixel than the standard Find X9's 1/1.95" telephoto.

This potential shift aligns with broader industry trends, as OnePlus (Oppo's sister brand) also reportedly plans a 200MP telephoto for its upcoming OnePlus 16. The timing remains consistent with Oppo's established release cycle – expect the Find X10 series around Q4 2026, preceded by the imminent Find X9 Ultra. For consumers, this leak suggests the standard Find X10 could become a more compelling option for photography enthusiasts who want flagship-tier zoom capabilities without the Pro model's premium price point.

Sensor size comparisons:

• Find X9 Standard: 50MP 1/1.95" telephoto
• Find X9 Pro: 200MP 1/1.56" telephoto
• Find X10 Standard (rumored): 200MP telephoto (sensor size unconfirmed)

Should these specifications materialize, Oppo would significantly narrow the performance gap between its standard and Pro models while raising competitive pressure in the upper-midrange segment. The move reflects manufacturers' increasing focus on telephoto capabilities as a key differentiator, moving beyond primary camera improvements alone.
