Oppo has expanded its premium smartphone portfolio with the introduction of the Find X10 Pro Max, marking the brand's first device to use the 'Pro Max' designation. The launch also reflects an upward shift in pricing for Oppo's flagship offerings, placing the new model at a price point higher than competing premium flagships from Apple and Samsung.
The central feature of the Find X10 Pro Max is its camera configuration, which differs from the earlier Find X9 Ultra model by incorporating three 200 MP lenses. The rear setup includes a 200 MP primary lens with an f/1.5 aperture, a 200 MP ultra-wide camera designed for landscapes and group shots, and a 200 MP periscope telephoto camera providing 3x optical zoom. Developed in collaboration with Hasselblad, the camera system delivers sharp portraits and consistent performance across various lighting conditions. Oppo also offers an optional Hasselblad extender converter kit priced at ₹24,999 for enhanced zoom capabilities.
In terms of performance, the device is powered by a MediaTek 9,600 Pro chipset, paired with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage. Benchmark testing on Geekbench 7 showed multi-core scores consistently exceeding 9,500. The smartphone operates on ColorOS 17, which is based on Android 17, and comes with a commitment of five years of Android OS updates.
The physical build of the device features a premium metal frame and textured glass panels, drawing design inspiration from conventional cameras. It weighs 233 grams and houses a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2772 x 1272 pixels, a 144 Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 3,600 nits. The screen includes 1.15 mm bezels and supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+ certifications.
Powering the hardware is an 8,000 mAh battery capable of supporting a multi-day usage cycle for standard users. The device supports 80W SUPERVOOC wired charging via an in-box charger, allowing a full charge in under an hour and a half. Additional power features include 50 W wireless charging and 10 W reverse wireless charging, though the hardware lacks built-in Qi2 or MagSafe magnetic arrays for third-party accessory attachment.
While the hardware specifications position the Find X10 Pro Max competitively within the high-end mobile market, its elevated pricing structure presents a notable challenge for market adoption against established rivals.
"Oppo's decision to price the Find X10 Pro Max above established tier-one competitors is a bold strategic move in the premium smartphone segment. While hardware innovations like triple 200-megapixel cameras and large battery capacities demonstrate engineering capability, entering a higher pricing tier requires overcoming strong consumer brand loyalty. For hardware manufacturers, commanding top-tier pricing necessitates not just superior specifications, but also long-term ecosystem value and software support that matches or exceeds market leaders." — Dr. Shishir Gupta, Founder & CEO, StartupLanes
