Oppo Launches Find X10 Pro Max Flagship With Dimensity Chip — Illustration: Threat Times

Key points

The Find X10 Pro Max features the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro chip and Hasselblad-branded cameras.
The device launches at £1,499 in the UK, roughly matching the price of the six-month-old Find X9 Ultra.
Oppo does not officially sell its phones in the United States, limiting direct consumer access there.

Oppo has launched the Find X10 Pro Max, its latest Android flagship smartphone, introducing new hardware including the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro processor. According to CNET, the device arrives just six months after the debut of the Find X9 Ultra, marking the first entry in Oppo’s next generation of Android phones.

The new handset includes a suite of updated technologies, such as new camera sensors and a powerful processor. CNET reports that the phone is well worthy of its flagship title, describing it as a powerhouse during a week of testing. It features a Hasselblad-branded camera setup and supports detachable telephoto zoom lenses for long-distance photography.

Context and Background

The rapid release schedule has raised questions about the necessity of the new model so soon after the previous flagship. CNET notes that the Find X9 Ultra was reviewed in June and also boasted incredible camera setups and potent processors. Both devices utilize detachable telephoto lenses, leading to confusion about the distinct value proposition of the X10 Pro Max.

Android Authority suggests that the Find X10 Pro Max might be the best handset ever made, urging readers to look past the triple 200MP camera headline. However, CNET states that it is unclear which device has the better camera, as both the new X10 Pro Max and the six-month-old X9 Ultra produce awesome results.

Who Is Affected

Consumers in the United Kingdom can purchase the Find X10 Pro Max at a starting price of £1,499, which is roughly $2,010. This price point is approximately the same as the Find X9 Ultra. CNET mentions that the purchase includes a complimentary accessory, either the detachable telephoto lens or an Oppo smartwatch, adding value to the high-cost device.

The decision between the two flagships is complicated by their similar performance levels. Traditionally, Ultra phones stood apart from Pro models with better screens and processors, but the X10 Pro Max matches or beats the X9 Ultra across the board. CNET admits to struggling to understand why a consumer would pick one over the other given the minimal differences.

What should you do?

For users in the United States, the availability of these devices is limited because Oppo does not officially sell its phones in the country. CNET notes that this makes the choice between the X9 Ultra and X10 Pro Max a moot point for American consumers. International buyers should compare the specific features of the detachable lens accessory against the smartwatch option before purchasing.

What to do and how to stay safe: Oppo

Verify regional availability and official warranty terms before purchasing high-end international smartphones.
Compare the specific accessory bundles included with the device to determine the best value for your needs.
Review detailed camera comparisons between the new model and previous generations to assess actual improvements.
Monitor official retailer listings for accurate pricing and potential import duties if buying outside official markets.
