Everything you need to know about the newly released OPPO Find X9 Ultra

OPPO unveiled the Find X9 Ultra on April 21, 2026, at a launch event in Chengdu, China. The event was co-branded with Hasselblad, the Swedish camera company whose cameras were the first to go to the moon and have long been synonymous with professional image quality. 

OPPO and Hasselblad have partnered since 2022 on camera tuning, colour science, and shooting modes for the Find X series. The launch event was tagged “OPPO x Hasselblad Imaging New Product Launch.”

This OPPO launch stands out from previous ones for one reason: this is the first time an Ultra-tier Find X phone is going on sale outside China. Every previous Ultra model, including the Find X8 Ultra from 2025, was limited to China. The X9 Ultra changes that. OPPO is taking it to the UK, Europe, India, and most global markets from May 2026.

When and where you can buy the OPPO Find X9 Ultra

Availability differs by region:

• China: on sale from April 24, 2026
• UK and Europe: On sale from May 8, 2026, through OPPO UK and Currys
• India: confirmed for May 2026, with pricing to be announced at a dedicated India event
• United States: No official release is planned

How OPPO is positioning the device

OPPO is selling the Find X9 Ultra as a photography flagship, not a general all-rounder. The official tagline is “Your Next Camera.” In China, the marketing leans even harder into the Hasselblad connection with the line “Optics Supreme, Pocket Hasselblad.”

OPPO’s SVP and Chief Product Officer Pete Lau described the phone as “the biggest breakthrough in OPPO imaging history.” Elvis Zhou, CEO of OPPO Europe, added that the “Ultra label must be earned.”

The phone enters a competitive space against the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, and the Vivo X300 Ultra in Western and global markets.

Price and availability

Here is a breakdown of confirmed official pricing across markets. All USD equivalents are approximate.

India

OPPO has confirmed an India launch in May 2026, with pricing to be announced at the India event. Based on the Chinese prices, you can expect a range of roughly 1.03 lakh to 1.30 lakh Indian rupees, though the official number could differ.

United States

We have not heard anything about a US launch yet. We will update this article as soon as we do.

Grey-Market and import options

• Giztop (Hong Kong-based reseller): pre-selling the global version at $1,499 for 12 GB / 512 GB and $1,699 for 16 GB / 1 TB, with shipping starting May 15, 2026
• Kimovil: tracking global pre-order prices starting from $1,994 across roughly 140 stores
• AD UK Tech Store: listing the global version at GBP 1,249 — lower than OPPO’s official UK price; treat this with caution

Nigeria: No official launch or pricing

As of April 24, 2026, there is no official OPPO Nigeria announcement, no confirmed Nigerian pricing, and no local retail availability for the Find X9 Ultra.

Here is what we can tell you:

• Jumia Nigeria: the platform lists the OPPO Find X9 Pro, but has no listing for the Find X9 Ultra as of this date
• Konga: No live Find X9 Ultra listing was found yet
• Mobile57 Nigeria: estimates ₦1,772,100 (roughly $1,099), which appears to be a direct conversion from the Chinese base price
• AssuredZone: estimates ₦923,251, describing the device as “expected to launch soon”
• GSMArena Nigeria explicitly states the phone “is not available in the official stores, because it has not been released yet”

The wide gap between ₦923,000 and ₦1,772,000 tells you these are not official prices. They are third-party estimates based on converted global prices, and they do not reflect what you would actually pay in Nigeria.

If you want a realistic sense of cost, the UK price alone (GBP 1,449) converts to roughly ₦2.9 million at current exchange rates. Add import duties, shipping, and reseller margins, and you are likely looking at ₦2.5 million to ₦3 million or more for a grey-market unit. Computer Village vendors and import resellers are likely to stock it soon.
