The Oppo Find X7 Ultra is not a typical flagship. It’s a fearless, gorgeous piece of engineering that redefines what smartphone cameras can do. Featuring a dual periscope telephoto camera, a ginormous one-inch sensor, and Hasselblad-tuned lenses, this is Oppo’s strongest contention yet in the premium segment.
While the Find X series has never been about playing by the rules, the X7 Ultra narrows its focus — literally and metaphorically — on camera capabilities. It’s the world’s first phone featuring dual periscope lenses, crafted to serve every zoom range with pro-grade consistency. Add that to top-notch performance, a high-res screen, and the refined ColorOS experience, and Oppo has designed a phone that’s not just up to par — it’s class-defining.
Design and Build
Find X7 Ultra is both futuristic and luxurious. Its back panel integrates a round ceramic camera module with a soft vegan leather or matte glass coating, resulting in a rather distinct look among flagships. The dual-tone look — dividing the camera island from the rest of the phone’s body — is a deliberate reference to DSLR design.
Build quality is rock solid. Oppo employs a curved aluminum frame, a front facing Gorilla Glass Victus 2, and IP68 water and dust resistance. It’s marginally thicker than the competition, but this is the compromise for a real 1-inch sensor and two periscope lenses. It weighs about 221g and feels heavy but evenly balanced — never cumbersome.
Color choices such as Ocean Blue, Sepia Brown, and Tailored Black bring new life to flagship minimalism while also providing a grippy and fingerprint-resistant finish.
Display: Hyper Visual Immersion
The Find X7 Ultra boasts a 6.82-inch QHD+ AMOLED LTPO screen with a dynamic refresh rate between 1Hz and 120Hz. Resolution is 3168 × 1440, delivering pin-sharp images when viewing HDR content or playing games. Peak brightness is as high as 4500 nits, one of the brightest panel’s ever implemented on a smartphone.
Color fidelity is outstanding due to Oppo’s 10-bit color calibration as well as HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and ProXDR rendering support. The screen subtly curves into the edges, improving the immersive experience without leading to accidental touches. Visual comfort is premium quality, with the help of sophisticated PWM dimming and TUV-certified low blue light protection.
Performance: Snapdragon at Full Power
Internally, the Find X7 Ultra is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the latest benchmark for Android performance. Constructed on a 4nm process, the chip guarantees scorching speed, industry-leading gaming performance, and enhanced power efficiency. Whether multitasking through several apps, processing 4K video, or running computationally intensive games, the phone provides smooth, uncompromising performance.
Oppo combines the chip with as much as 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a maximum of 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. App launching times are almost instant, and memory management is top-notch, such that dozens of apps can be cached in the background. The thermal performance is unexpectedly well managed, courtesy of Oppo’s high-end cooling system, which employs an enormous vapor chamber and intelligent load distribution.
Cameras: A Revolution in Smartphone Zoom
This is where the Oppo Find X7 Ultra surpasses its contemporaries. The camera setup is revolutionary — four 50MP sensors in tandem, led by a one-inch Sony LYT-900 sensor for the main camera, coupled with two periscope lenses and an ultra-wide.
The main camera records incredible detail, especially in low light. It is aided by a variable aperture system (f/1.6 to f/4.0), which dynamically adjusts according to lighting and scene demands. This yields genuine-looking depth of field for portraits and outstanding clarity for high-contrast shots.
The dual periscope lenses are a first in the industry. One provides 3x optical zoom at a 65mm equivalent focal length, and the other 6x optical zoom at 135mm. Oppo employs in-sensor crop technology and computational fusion to fill the gap between the focal lengths, providing lossless zoom up to 10x and clean digital zoom over 30x. The image quality is astonishingly good even at 10x, maintaining color accuracy, sharpness, and contrast.
The ultra-wide camera also wows with little distortion and terrific edge sharpness. Hasselblad’s presence can be felt throughout the camera experience — from color science to shutter sound — and it leads to images with characteristic warmth, balanced tonality, and pro-level uniformity.
On the video side, the Find X7 Ultra records 4K at 120fps, has LOG recording mode for pros, and has cinematic depth due to its vast sensor. Stabilization is superb with ultra-steady modes, and audio capture is super clear through 3D spatial mics. For vloggers, creators, and smartphone filmmakers, this is perhaps the most comprehensive camera system on any phone.
Battery and Charging
Battery life is excellent. The Find X7 Ultra is equipped with a 5000mAh cell, and with ColorOS optimization and the power-frugal Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, it is no problem at all to get through a full day of heavy usage. Screen-on time frequently exceeds 7 hours, even with high refresh rate and location services enabled.
Charging is snappily fast. Wired maxes out at 100W, and it takes around 26 minutes for a full charge. Wireless charging is just as rapid at 50W, charging from 0 to 100% in less than 50 minutes with Oppo’s AirVOOC charger. Reverse wireless charging is there as well, allowing you to charge accessories or another phone in a hurry. The charging brick does come inside the box — a refreshing rarity among newer flagship devices.
Software: ColorOS 14 Finds Its Form
ColorOS 14, which is built on Android 14, is one of the most polished and feature-studded Android skins available today. It’s responsive, visually consistent, and chock-full of useful features that add to convenience without clutter.
Oppo’s Aqua Dynamics UI brings a more dynamic interaction model — notifications and widgets hover contextually, a bit like Apple’s Dynamic Island but with greater depth. Smart Sidebar, divided-screen multitasking, enhanced privacy controls, and floating windows ensure that multitasking is effortless.
Oppo promises four years of significant OS upgrades and five years of security updates, matching the long-term support provided by Samsung and Google. The software is optimized for international networks and features native support for VoLTE, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and region-based features such as Oppo Wallet.
Audio and Connectivity
Audio quality is great. Stereo speakers provide rich bass, well-balanced mids, and clear highs, with Dolby Atmos enhancement engaging on media playback. Call quality is just as great, supported by high-end AI noise cancellation and adaptive volume boosting.
The Find X7 Ultra is available with dual SIM support, eSIM support, worldwide full 5G band support, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and an IR blaster for universal remote use. Connectivity is reliable and powerful across all scenarios, whether on the go, online gaming, or mirroring media to external screens.
Global Pricing and Availability
As of mid-2025, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra is available worldwide for purchase beginning at approximately $999 USD for the entry-level model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The 16GB + 512GB model is slightly pricier at near $1099 USD, while the high-end 1TB model exceeds the $1200 threshold in some markets.
Availability extends to China, Europe, the Middle East, India, and Southeast Asia. It is sold in some Western countries through Oppo’s international website and authorized sellers such as Amazon and Best Buy, bundled with Oppo’s accessories or trade-in incentives.
Though the price goes into premium flagship status, camera hardware and refined software warrant it for those who value imaging and performance most.
Final Verdict
The Oppo Find X7 Ultra is a work of art in smartphone photography and flagship technology. Its one-inch sensor, dual periscope telephotos, stunning display, and turbo-charging capability make this device a true contender for the “Best Smartphone of the Year” crown.
What makes it unique is its dedication to imaging greatness without compromising the rest. It’s both a pro-grade camera phone and a reliable, high-end smartphone. For creatives, heavy users, and tech aficionados seeking a phone that transcends the norm — not merely matching Samsung and Apple but eclipsing them in important aspects — the Oppo Find X7 Ultra is a flagship experience with sharpness, assurance, and daring vision.
This isn’t a specs phone — this is a storytelling phone.
