Xiaomi will showcase the 18 Pro series on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, at 7:00 PM Chinese time — which is 1:00 PM in Poland. The date appears on the poster for the autumn conference that has surfaced online, and the entire campaign revolves around one thing: a touch screen built into the camera island.

The campaign’s slogan is “one more side, thousands of possibilities.”

Note: this article was created before the presentation. It is based on promotional materials that leaked online before the premiere — they appear to be prepared by Xiaomi, but the manufacturer has not officially published them. Treat all numbers as highly probable, unconfirmed. Certainty will come on September 23.

Screen on the back, so what’s really going on here

The camera island is a wide, horizontal rectangle with rounded corners. On the left side sit two large lenses stacked one above the other, while the entire right side is occupied by a colorful, touch display. Below the island, already outside of it, there is also an elongated module with a third eye and a flash LED.

Xiaomi calls this feature application cards on the rear screen. It is not just a decorative element showing the time — although Xiaomi itself notes in fine print that the content of the cards in the promotional graphics is generated by AI, and the images are for illustration purposes. In the shown graphics, the screen supports among others:

• water intake counter with a “+1 glass” button,
• egg timer with three modes: 6 minutes for runny yolk, 8 for medium, 10 for hard,
• caffeine calculator — Americano 225 mg, Flat White 195 mg, Latte 150 mg,
• pomodoro timer with a 25-minute session, with a pause controlled directly from the back of the phone,
• countdown to the concert, food order card, and exercise set lottery.

The platform is open to external partners: the materials show eight cards, including Starbucks, Haidilao, Meituan, Keep, and Damai, as well as cards prepared by internet creators.

The second application is simpler and probably more important in everyday life: the screen acts as a preview for selfies taken with the main camera, with video, photo, and portrait modes. Xiaomi notes in fine print that the figure in the demo selfie and the content of the water counter card were generated by AI, and the graphics are for illustration purposes.

Everything can appear on the rear screen

A separate branch of the campaign — under the slogan “everything can appear on the rear screen” — showcases the screen as a place for an animated mascot. The set of licenses makes an impression in China: characters from “Battle Through the Heavens,” exhibits from the Chinese television program “National Treasures” (a figure of an officer from the Qin dynasty, a bronze mask from Sanxingdui, ceramic figurines from the Northern Wei period), and from Western classics Van Gogh and “Girl with a Pearl Earring.”

You can also upload a photo of your pet — the system recognizes its features and builds an animated character from them.

AI attaches someone to the photo who wasn’t with you

The second feature that has its own teaser is AI group photo. The slogan is “take a group photo with everything you dream of”. In the video, a photo of a person and a character from a game merge into one shot, where both pose side by side.

A screen that your neighbor in the subway won’t read

The day after the specification poster, Xiaomi showcased another feature of the series: privacy screen. It doesn’t work like privacy films that darken the entire display. Here, selected rectangles turn black, while the rest of the screen remains bright and readable.

The video demonstrates this in five situations. In the subway, a notification comes in, and a black rectangle appears in its place, while the clock, widgets, and wallpaper remain visible. In a café, the coffee ordering app is fully readable, while the chat window hovering above it is black. In the office, with a split screen, one half is darkened, while the other, with notes, is completely normal. On the lock screen, one notification from the list disappears under a black bar, while the neighboring ones remain.

Protection is set separately for each application, and it can be activated in two ways. On the left edge of the phone, there is an orange AI button that can be assigned to turn on protection with a single click. The second way is a voice command to the Xiao AI assistant, and it’s not a one-time command, but conditional: “when arriving at the office, turn on protection in messengers,” “when returning home, turn off all protection.” The fine print states that such rules are configured in the expert mode of the assistant.

Xiaomi also described how it works, and it is neither an overlay nor a software mode. In the panel, there are two types of pixels — privacy and regular — arranged alternately in a 1:1 ratio. They differ in the angle at which they emit light: the regular one spreads it in a wide cone to the sides, while the privacy one emits it in a narrow column straight ahead. On a daily basis, all of them light up, and when protection is activated — only the privacy ones.

Xiaomi also mentions privacy films: they work like micro-blinds, thus reducing brightness, distorting the image, and straining the eyes. The manufacturer claims that with them, quality does not drop because each pixel retains a complete set of RGB subpixels regardless of the mode. It sounds reasonable, but it is still a manufacturer’s declaration, not a measurement.

The same principle is applied by Galaxy S26 Ultra. Samsung calls it Flex Magic Pixel and also divides pixels into two types, narrow and wide. The difference lies in what each manufacturer has published: Samsung provided measured angles — at 45 degrees, side brightness drops to 3.5 percent, at 60 below one. Xiaomi did not provide a single degree, only showing images of the screen viewed from the side.

Specifications from the leaked poster

A poster titled “upgrade in every field” is circulating online, attributed to Xiaomi. Each point is accompanied by the note “both sizes” — the parameters refer to both models, which the poster names. “both sizes”: Xiaomi has been talking about two models from the beginning and names them on the same poster.

The poster calls this set of cameras the most powerful Leica system in the numerical series of Xiaomi, and the batteries — the longest-lasting in this series. Regarding the display, it mentions the new M11 emission system and a new green emission material: higher brightness with lower energy consumption.

A separate graphic adds the screen parameters. The peak brightness is said to reach 4000 nits, and the new green emission material is expected to increase the brightness efficiency by 20 percent compared to the previous generation. Additionally, there is the BT.2020 color gamut and a pixel arrangement where each pixel has a complete set of RGB subpixels — Xiaomi compares it to the classic Pentile and claims that the sharpness matches 2K displays while consuming less power than 1.5K. The manufacturer does not specify the resolution in pixels.

A separate graphic clarifies a matter that the specification poster was silent about: each model gets a different layout. The Xiaomi 18 Pro features the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6. The Xiaomi 18 Pro Max — a stronger Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 (SM8975). It’s worth knowing this, as earlier leaks referred to this chip as “Gen 6 Pro” — that was a placeholder name that Qualcomm ultimately replaced with the Extreme designation. An entry in the Geekbench database from September 16 showed a unit with 16 GB of memory, two cores clocked up to 5.01 GHz, and HyperOS 4 on Android 17.

Frame narrower by 0.19 mm

One of the materials shows the front and provides a detail that can be compared to its predecessor: the frame around the screen has slimmed down from 1.18 mm in the Xiaomi 17 series to 0.99 mm — and this applies to the entire series, not just the larger model. The radius of the screen corners has also increased.

Camera: Leica and a range of 17–75 mm

The body features the engraving LEICA VARIO-SUMMILUX 1:1.67-2.4/17-75 ASPH. We read it from the full-resolution render, and it is confirmed by four independent materials. This indicates an aperture of f/1.67–2.4 and a focal length range of 17–75 mm.

Here arises a discrepancy worth noting. The specification poster lists two cameras — the main and periscope, both 200 Mpix. Meanwhile, on the back, three lenses are visible: two in the island and one in the module below it. Xiaomi has not yet described this third one, and the range starting from 17 mm suggests that there is also a wide-angle lens included. Until Wednesday, this remains an open question.

Four colors

The series comes in four finishes: navy blue, white, graphite, and pink. Pink is the most unexpected here — it did not appear in earlier materials.

The prettiest detail: the wallpaper on the rear screen is matched to the color of the casing — blue with navy, green with white, orange with graphite, and pink with pink. In some renders, it looks like a static print, but it’s the same screen in wallpaper mode, not a cheaper version without a display.

One of the circulating materials refers to the navy variant by the English name Starry River Blue, with a glittering star dust effect — but its origin cannot be confirmed. Official Chinese color names for Xiaomi have not yet been provided.

What is missing from any of the materials

The materials do not include diagonal screens or pixel resolutions. We also do not know the refresh rate, dimming method, or parameters of the rear display itself: its size, resolution, and brightness. There is a lack of charging power, dimensions, weight, IP resistance class, memory variants, and any price.

Leaks fill some of these gaps, but these are no longer Xiaomi’s words. GSMArena reported in April 6.3 inches for the 18 Pro and 6.9 inches for the 18 Pro Max with a flat LTPO OLED panel, and a July post from tipster Digital Chat Station mentioned 100 W wired charging and support for wireless charging. Treat these numbers as hints, not specifications.

It is still unknown if and when the series will reach Europe. The entire campaign is Chinese, and the partners on the back screen — Meituan, Haidilao, Starbucks CN — are brands from that market. The Chinese poster, however, mentions purchasing in 12 installments without interest.

What it means for accessories

One thing is clear in every render: the cutout in the case must cover the entire island along with the screen, not just two holes for the lenses. A case that covers the display with plastic takes away its purpose. The same goes for the camera glass — a sensible cover only shields the optics and leaves the area above the screen free.

Xiaomi has not yet provided the dimensions of the case, so any compatibility with accessories from the previous generation can only be discussed conditionally. What is certain is what can be seen: the layout of the back is different from the Xiaomi 17 series, and the previous generation does not have an additional screen at all. We will provide specifics about compatibility after September 23.

Everything that fits the new series is collected in one place — accessories for the Xiaomi 18 series — with separate shelves for accessories for the Xiaomi 18 Pro and accessories for the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max. Xiaomi talks about two sizes, so the cases will most likely not be interchangeable between them — we will confirm this when we know the dimensions.

Summary

The Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max are the first Xiaomi phones where the second screen is not a novelty glued to the case, but an integrated platform within the camera island with its own applications. Additionally, there are dual 200 Mpix with Leica, optics with a range of 17–75 mm, and batteries of 7000 and 8500 mAh — all of this is still pre-release material, not a manufacturer announcement.

The conference is on Wednesday, September 23 at 1:00 PM Polish time. Then we will learn the prices, diagonals, and whether the series will even leave China.

FAQ — frequently asked questions

When is the Xiaomi 18 Pro premiere?

September 23, 2026, at 7:00 PM Chinese time, which is 1:00 PM in Poland. The date comes from a poster for Xiaomi’s autumn conference that leaked before the premiere.

What is the difference between the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max?

The size of the casing, battery (7000 vs. 8500 mAh), and processor — the Pro gets the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, while the Pro Max has the more powerful Elite Extreme Gen 6. The cameras, screen, and bezel width are listed as common for both sizes.

What is the screen on the back of the Xiaomi 18 Pro?

A touch-sensitive, color display built into the camera island, next to the lenses. It supports app cards — from a water meter to a stopwatch and pomodoro timer — displays animated mascots, and serves as a preview for selfies taken with the main camera.

What processor does the Xiaomi 18 Pro have?

Different in both models. The Xiaomi 18 Pro gets the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, while the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max has the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. Both are built on a 2 nm process.

How much does the Xiaomi 18 Pro cost?

The price has not been provided in any material — neither in yuan nor in euros. We will know it on September 23.

Does the case from the Xiaomi 17 Pro fit the Xiaomi 18 Pro?

Xiaomi has not yet provided the dimensions of the casing, so there is no certain answer today. However, the layout of the back is clearly different, and the previous generation does not have an additional screen in the island — after the premiere, we will update the shelves of both models with accessories that have confirmed compatibility.

Will the Xiaomi 18 Pro come to Poland?

There is currently no information about this. All materials concern the Chinese premiere.

Honor will showcase the Magic 9 series in Beijing on September 28, 2026. The date was confirmed by the brand’s president Li Jian, and reservations in China have already begun. The strongest argument for the new series is the set of two 200-megapixel sensors and imaging developed in collaboration with ARRI — the German film camera company known to anyone who has watched the credits of a major production.

Note: this article was created before the official presentation. The release date, collaboration with ARRI, Snapdragon configuration, and set of photography accessories come from Honor’s materials; the screen diagonals, battery capacities, and distribution of configurations between models are still leaks from Chinese services. Everything will be confirmed on September 28.

Photos reveal more than announcements

In the official renders, it’s worth taking a closer look at the ring around the camera module — Honor has engraved the full specifications of both sensors on it. It can be read that the main camera is 200 MP on a 1/1.28 inch sensor with an f/1.57 aperture and three-axis stabilization, while the periscope is 200 MP on a 1/1.4 inch sensor with an f/2.6 aperture. This is the same set described by Chinese services, but here it is provided by the manufacturer itself, in fine print on the casing.

The ARRI logo sits on the module, next to the lens. The brand doesn’t make phones — it makes cameras used to shoot feature films — so its involvement pertains to color grading and video mode, not the optics themselves.

Five colors of the entire series

Honor showcased the series in five variants. The names are cinematic and that’s no coincidence: Curtain Black refers to the curtain, Opening White to the opening credits, and Silver Salt alludes to silver salt, which is part of traditional photography chemistry.

The full palette includes Curtain Black, Opening White, Olive Green, Silver Salt, and Popcorn Yellow. Yellow and olive are matte, solid backs without gloss — this finish gets dirty less easily, but shows scratches more prominently, so with these two colors, a case is not a matter of taste.

Attachable telephoto lenses instead of digital zoom

The most interesting element of the premiere is not part of the phone. Honor has prepared a Master Camera Kit — a set with two attachable lenses: a compact 200 mm (81 mm in length, 88 grams) for everyday carry and a 500 mm for situations where digital zoom falls short: birds, animals, sports from the stands.

For the buyer of accessories, there is one practical conclusion. Such a lens is mounted on a dedicated case with a ring, not on any case — this is a rule we have already seen with OPPO and vivo photography kits. Whoever reaches for this set will practically use two cases: a photography one for sessions and a regular, thinner one for the rest of the day.

Specifications: Magic 9 and Magic 9 Pro Max

Where sources disagree

Two things should be taken with caution, as reports are conflicting.

Base version processor. Some leaks attribute the Magic 9 to the previous Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip in a 3 nm process, while Gen 6 is reserved for the Pro Max. Chinese outlets, however, state that the entire series belongs to the first wave with Gen 6 in 2 nm. The premiere will clarify.

Battery capacity in the Pro Max. You will encounter both 8800 mAh and reports of a peak version reaching 10,000 mAh. The latter number would be a record for a phone of this size, so it’s even more worth waiting for official data.

There is also context that explains the timing. Qualcomm is showcasing Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 at the Snapdragon Summit on September 22–24, and Honor is entering four days later. This is the shortest possible gap — the brand wants to be the first with the new chipset before the competition does.

What it means if you have Magic 7 or Magic 8

If photography is your top priority, the leap is real: two 200 MP sensors instead of one and color science developed with ARRI is a different league than previous generations. If you mainly use your phone as a phone, feel free to wait for the European premiere and the first tests — Honor usually brings the Magic series to our market with a few weeks delay and in a narrower lineup.

Accessories from the previous generation will not fit. The camera module changes shape and size, so cases from Magic 8 or Magic 8 Pro are out of the question. Protection for earlier models can be found in the categories of Honor Magic 7, and all brand accessories are collected in the Honor category.

Summary

Magic 9 is a premiere built around two things: a pair of 200 MP sensors and the name ARRI on the camera module. Additionally, it features a 2-nanometer Snapdragon, a large battery, and a set of attachable telephoto lenses that no one else has in this form today.

The caveat is the same as with any Chinese premiere: on September 28, we will learn about the Chinese version of events. The European lineup, prices, and release dates may vary.

FAQ — frequently asked questions

When is the Honor Magic 9 premiere?

September 28, 2026, in Beijing. The date has been confirmed by the Honor CEO, and reservations in China have already begun.

Does the Magic 9 really have two 200 MP cameras?

Yes. The specifications of both sensors are engraved by Honor on the ring around the module: 200 MP 1/1.28″ f/1.57 for the main one and 200 MP 1/1.4″ f/2.6 for the periscope.

What is ARRI in the Honor camera?

ARRI is a German manufacturer of film cameras. The collaboration concerns color reproduction and video modes, not the optics themselves — similar to Hasselblad with OPPO or Zeiss with vivo.

What colors does the Honor Magic 9 come in?

Five: Curtain Black, Opening White, Olive Green, Silver Salt, and Popcorn Yellow. The names reference cinema and traditional photography.

What is the Master Camera Kit?

Set with two interchangeable telephoto lenses: 200 mm for everyday carry and 500 mm for long-distance photography. They are mounted on a dedicated case with a ring.

Will the case for Honor Magic 8 fit Magic 9?

No. The camera module changes shape and dimensions, so a case dedicated to the new series will be needed.

The vivo X500 series will be showcased on September 21, 2026, at 7:00 PM Chinese time. The manufacturer has already confirmed the date, four colors of both main models, and the key selling point: a periscope telephoto lens 200 MP on a 1/1.4 inch sensor in the Pro Max version.

The photographic ambassador of the brand is Jay Chou, who unboxed the Pro Max before the premiere — and in the process revealed an accessory that vivo had not mentioned a word about.

Note: this article was created before the official presentation. It is based on official materials from vivo and leaks from Chinese services and Weibo. Full specifications and prices will be confirmed on September 21.

Three models instead of two

vivo is splitting the series into three variants and for the first time is using the name Pro Max.

The base version is by no means a poor relative. Screenshots from the „About Phone” section of the Chinese demo show Dimensity 9600M clocked at 4.21 GHz, 12 GB RAM with 24 GB of extended memory, 512 GB of storage, an additional 50 GB from compression, and a separate image processor BlueImage V3+.

Periscope 200 MP — the strongest argument for Pro Max

The heart of the X500 Pro Max is the periscope telephoto lens 200 MP on a Samsung HP0 sensor with a format of 1/1.4 inches. This is an unusual approach: most manufacturers give the largest sensor to the main camera, treating the telephoto as an addition. vivo reverses this order.

Additionally, it features 30× zoom, stabilization CIPA 7.0, and support for a detachable 400 mm teleconverter. The main camera is 50 MP with a three-axis gimbal and a dynamic range claimed at 17 EV.

The video specs are impressive on paper: 4K 240 fps, 8K in RAW, slow motion 4K 960 fps, and 4K 120 fps in 10-bit Log. All of this is produced as part of a long-standing collaboration with Zeiss.

The base model receives a Sony LYT-828 1/1.28″ sensor known from the X300 Pro, a periscope 64 MP LYT-610, and support for a 200 mm teleconverter. Stabilization at the level of CIPA 5.5.

Creator’s kit and the mysterious square screen

The most interesting element of the launch is not the phone. In Jay Chou’s unboxing, a small square display flashed, which vivo had not announced. The manufacturer confirmed that it is an external preview monitor.

The idea is simple: you connect it to your phone and record yourself with the main camera instead of the front one, seeing the frame on a separate screen. For someone who shoots vlogs, beauty content, or unboxings from a tripod, this is the difference between a selfie lens and a full-featured rear camera.

The monitor is part of the creator kit for the X500 Pro Max, which also includes: a dedicated case, two teleconverters, a grip with a remote, and a strap. vivo has been building an ecosystem of photographic accessories around the X series for several generations, but this is the first time a separate display has landed in the box.

Colors of vivo X500 Pro Max

vivo showcased four variants, all with a two-tone back and — in some color options — flecks that illuminate at an angle.

„Capture the Night” — a dark, muted version.

„Sunny Day” — a white described by vivo as „scattering clouds”.

„Echo of the Earth” — a silvery variant with flecks resembling the Milky Way.

The fourth is “Glow of the Aurora” — a warm orange visible in the opening photo of the article.

The base model receives three of the same colors — Sunny Day, Capture the Night, and Echo of the Earth — and instead of Glow of the Aurora it features “Dawn”.

When is the premiere and what about Europe

The Chinese presentation will take place on September 21, 2026, at 7:00 PM. For India, leaks suggest October or November, following the V70 series.

There is no European date. vivo has been bringing the X series to our market in a trimmed version and with delays measured in months for several years, so there’s no immediate hope for the X500 Pro Max in Polish distribution — if it appears at all.

Is it worth waiting if you have the X300?

If you are using vivo X300 Pro, you have the same main camera — the LYT-828 returns in the base X500. The upgrade mainly concerns the telephoto lens, and that is the reason for the exchange, not the rest of the specifications.

However, if long focal length photography is your main scenario, the 200 MP periscope on a 1/1.4 inch sensor is simply in a different class than anything vivo has offered before.

Accessories from the X300 series will not fit — the camera module changes radically, from a rectangle to a large circle in the middle of the housing. Cases and glass for the new series will usually appear with us within a few days of the debut; all accessories for vivo phones can be found in one category.

Summary

vivo X500 Pro Max is a phone built around a telephoto lens, not around the main camera — and that is the most interesting thing about it. Additionally, it features a 2-nanometer Dimensity 9600 Pro, a battery around 8000 mAh, and an ecosystem of accessories that has grown this generation with an external preview monitor.

The base model looks more reasonable than base versions usually do: 7500 mAh, 90 W, flat 1.5K screen, and a main sensor from last year’s Pro.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

When is the vivo X500 premiere?

September 21, 2026, at 7:00 PM Chinese time. The premiere in India is expected in October or November, the European date has not been announced.

What is the difference between vivo X500 Pro Max and X500 Pro?

Primarily the screen and telephoto lens. Pro Max has a 6.83–6.85 inch screen and a 200 MP periscope on a 1/1.4″ sensor, while Pro is compact — about 6.36 inches — and gets a 64 MP telephoto with an 85 mm focal length. Pro Max also has a larger battery.

What processor does the vivo X500 have?

The base version gets the Dimensity 9600M built on a 3 nm process, clocked at 4.21 GHz. Both Pro models use the more powerful Dimensity 9600 Pro made in 2 nm.

What is that square screen included with the X500 Pro Max?

It is an external preview monitor. It allows you to record yourself with the main rear camera instead of the front one, seeing the frame on a separate display. It comes as part of the creator kit along with a case, two teleconverters, a grip, and a strap.

What colors does the vivo X500 Pro Max come in?

Four: „Capture the Night”, „Sunny Day”, „Echo of the Earth” and „Glow of the Aurora”. Instead of Glow of the Aurora, the base model gets „Dawn”.

Does the case from the vivo X300 fit the X500?

No. The camera module changes shape from rectangular to a large circle placed in the middle of the casing, so a case dedicated to the new series will be needed.

OPPO Find X10 Pro Max has officially launched in Europe and Poland on October 21, 2026. In the OPPO store, it costs 6999 PLN, while in Germany and France it is priced at €1799 — in both cases for the only European version of 12/512 GB. It is the first smartphone with three 200 MP cameras: a main, ultra-wide, and periscope telephoto lens.

In China, the phone debuted on September 22, 2026, and costs from 6799 yuan. The European version differs from the Chinese one in one important aspect: it has a battery 7150 mAh instead of 8000 mAh.

Update 21.10.2026: the first version of this article was created before the Chinese premiere and was partially based on leaks. After the global premiere, we replaced them with official OPPO data. What did not hold true, we have gathered below in the section “Post-premiere: what has changed compared to the leaks”.

This OPPO poster was shown even before the premiere and summarizes the entire series well. The Find X10 received two 200 MP cameras, while the Find X10 Pro Max — as the first phone on the market — has three 200 MP cameras. The module was developed in collaboration with Hasselblad, and the colors and light are handled by the second generation Danxia color lens and the LUMO image engine.

When is the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max premiere?

The series had two premieres:

• China: September 22, 2026, at 7:00 PM Chinese time. This date was provided by OPPO itself in an advertisement on Weibo and confirmed by the conference. Sales in China began on September 24.
• Europe and Poland: October 21, 2026. On this day, OPPO stores in Poland, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom started selling the Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max.

In September, Western media also circulated the date of September 17. This referred to a separate conference for the ColorOS 17 system, not the phone launch.

How much does the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max cost? Prices in Poland, Europe, and China

In Europe, the Pro Max is available only in one configuration: 12 GB RAM and 512 GB storage. Versions with 16 GB RAM and 1 TB are available only in China.

Prices are provided according to OPPO stores on the launch date (October 21, 2026), without initial promotions. For the Pro Max, OPPO sells separately the Hasselblad Teleconverter Kit — in Poland for 1499 zł.

A pricing curiosity concerns the older Ultra. In euros, the Find X10 Pro Max is €100 more expensive than the Find X9 Ultra, but in the Polish price list from OPPO, it’s the opposite: the Pro Max costs 6999 PLN, while the X9 Ultra costs 7399 PLN. Which one suits your photography style better, we outlined in the comparison OPPO Find X10 Pro Max vs X9 Ultra.

After the premiere: what has changed compared to the leaks

Some pre-release information turned out to be accurate, but several important parameters look different. The comparison below contrasts what we wrote in September with the official specifications.

The most noticeable change concerns the battery. Chinese materials, including a poster with the “glacier battery,” mentioned 8000 mAh, but the European Pro Max has 7150 mAh typical capacity (6960 mAh nominal). This is 100 mAh more than in the Find X9 Ultra, but less than 7500 mAh in the Find X9 Pro.

The second difference is the display. Instead of 2K, there is a 1.5K panel, which is a lower resolution than in the Find X9 Ultra (QHD+). In return, the display covers 95% of the BT.2020 color space and has PWM dimming at 3840 Hz.

Three 200 MP cameras — official specifications

OPPO confirmed the setup known from the announcements: the 200 MP sensor has been given to each of the three main cameras. You can take full-resolution 200 MP photos at focal lengths of 13, 24, and 70 mm, while the phone defaults to saving 26 MP photos to avoid taking up too much space.

OPPO does not disclose the manufacturers of the sensors. According to reviews from Digital Camera World and HardwareZone, the main camera features a new Samsung ISOCELL HPC, developed in collaboration with OPPO, while the ultrawide and telephoto lenses use ISOCELL HP5 sensors.

The video benefits the most. Pro Max records 8K at 30 fps and 4K at 120 fps with Dolby Vision on all three rear cameras. Additionally, there is the Open Gate mode (full sensor in 4:3 aspect ratio), O-Log2 recording, and horizon leveling. The dynamic range of 17 EV, which OPPO mentioned before the launch, works in standard video mode on the main camera at a 1× zoom.

The photographic processing is powered by LUMO True Image Engine with 18 color styles and the LUMO Framing feature, which suggests the frame. Unlike the Find X9 Ultra, the Pro Max model does not have a physical camera button, and a separately purchased Hasselblad 3.28× teleconverter is used for further zooming. The one from the Find X9 Ultra does not fit the new model.

For accessory buyers, the shape of the camera island is important. The rectangular module with a ribbed frame determines the cutout in the case, and the frame can easily get scratched when placing the phone on its back, so it’s worth using a case with a raised edge around the camera from the start.

Battery: 8000 mAh in China, 7150 mAh in Europe

This pre-release poster from OPPO pertains to the Chinese version. Both versions have a silicon-carbon cell, for which OPPO announced a five-year lifespan, but in Europe, the Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max received 7150 mAh instead of 8000 mAh.

The charging has been fully confirmed: 80 W wired (SUPERVOOC and UFCS) and 50 W wireless (AIRVOOC). With chargers from other brands, the phone charges at up to 55 W via PPS, and only 13.5 W via standard USB Power Delivery. The charger is not included in the box.

In practice, this means that when purchasing a new charger, it is worth looking for a model with PPS (programmable power supply) support of at least 60 W. You can choose it from smartphone wall chargers. The Pro Max does not have built-in Qi2 magnets, so it will only work with magnetic wireless chargers when in a case with a magnetic ring.

Specifications of OPPO Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max (European versions)

Data for Find X10 Pro Max comes from the specifications on oppo.com/pl. For Find X10, we use OPPO’s launch materials and comparisons from the launch date.

One note about resistance. In the European Union, the label only shows IP68, as required by the EU regulation regarding smartphone labeling. However, OPPO declares a complete set: IP66, IP68, and IP69.

Colors and availability of OPPO Find X10 Pro Max

In Europe and Poland, the Pro Max is available in two colors: Luna White and Titanium Grey. The white version combines a silver camera island with an orange Hasselblad ring. In China, there is also a third color, warm orange. The icy blue from the pre-release advertisements was only available for the basic Find X10.

The Find X10 in Europe comes in three colors: Glacier Blue, Mist Grey, and Glow Coral (in the Polish store: blue, grey, and coral).

Series composition: no Pro, and Find X10 E only in China

In this generation, OPPO has eliminated the intermediate Pro model, which we mentioned before the premiere. The Find X10 E, whose name appeared on the Chinese reservation page, debuted in China along with the rest of the series, but did not make it to Europe.

Is it worth upgrading from Find X9 to Find X10 Pro Max?

If photos and videos are your top priority, the jump is significant. The 200 MP ultra-wide camera, 8K and 4K 120 fps on all lenses, and telemacro from 10 cm is a real difference compared to the previous generation.

If you mainly use the Find X9 or Find X9 Pro as a phone rather than a camera, there are fewer reasons to rush. The European Pro Max has a smaller battery than the Find X9 Pro and a lower resolution screen than the Find X9 Ultra.

Accessories for the Find X9 series do not fit the new models, as the camera module and the dimensions of the casing have changed. Cases and glass for the new generation can be found in the categories OPPO Find X10 and OPPO Find X10 Pro Max.

Accessories for OPPO Find X10 Pro Max

With a phone costing 7,000 PLN, protection from day one is a sensible investment. Cases, tempered glass, and films tailored to the camera island can be found in the category accessories for OPPO Find X10 Pro Max, and the entire series is covered by the category OPPO Find X10 Series.

If you travel a lot, a power bank of 20,000 mAh or more will also come in handy — a smaller one will not fully charge the 7150 mAh battery. Accessories for other phones of the brand can be found in the OPPO category.

Summary

OPPO Find X10 Pro Max has fulfilled the most important promise from the announcement: it is the first phone with three 200 MP cameras and 8K and 4K 120 fps video on each of them. Additionally, it features a 2-nanometer Dimensity 9600 Pro, Wi-Fi 7, and ColorOS 17.

However, the European version has two compromises compared to the leaks: a 7150 mAh battery instead of 8000 mAh and a 1.5K display instead of 2K. For the only configuration of 12/512 GB, you will pay 6999 PLN in Poland and 1799 € in the euro zone.
