Oppo’s next base flagship could make the Galaxy S26 and iPhone 17 look seriously underpowered

Oppo's standard Find X10 could pack two 200MP cameras, an 8,000mAh battery, and an impressive display.

Oppo has spent the last few release cycles taking its Ultra flagships to a whole new level. Devices like the Find X9 Ultra have proven that rivals like Apple and Samsung just aren’t doing enough. But while its Ultra line usually gets the spotlight for pushing extreme hardware boundaries, a new leak suggests Oppo is about to turn its standard, entry-level flagship into an absolute monster. According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the upcoming vanilla Find X10 may be the most overpowered base flagship we’ve seen so far.

Two 200MP sensors on an entry-level flagship

The Find X9 Ultra was one of the first smartphones to feature a dual 200MP camera system. Recent leaks suggest Oppo might kick things up a notch with the upcoming Find X10 Pro Max and include three 200MP sensors, making it the first phone to feature a 200MP ultrawide camera. While the Pro Max model is said to push the envelope for flagship smartphone cameras, Digital Chat Station says the standard Find X10 won’t be left behind.

The device will reportedly feature two 200MP sensors, including a 1/1.4-inch main sensor and a 1/1.56-inch sensor for the periscope telephoto camera. Offering two 200MP sensors on a base flagship is practically unheard of, but Oppo likely won’t stop at the rear cameras. Earlier reports indicate the company is also testing a 100MP front camera for the Find X10 line. If these leaks hold, Oppo’s entry-level flagship will offer imaging hardware that makes base models from Apple and Samsung look like budget devices.

A battery that puts rival flagships to shame

Improved camera hardware is only half the story. Digital Chat Station claims that the standard Find X10 could also pack a massive 8,000mAh battery, along with a 6.59-inch 1.5K display with BT.2020 color space support.

Packing an 8,000mAh battery into a compact 6.59-inch frame would mark a massive step up for everyday endurance. Paired with a dual 200MP camera system and an impressive display, it could make the standard Find X10 the most stacked entry flagship of the year.

Xiaomi 18 Fold has me questioning what a compact phone should look like, or even cost
I love compact phones, but these wide foldables have me rethinking the whole concept now
Xiaomi 18 Fold at IFA 2026

The best part of my job is the access to some of the coolest gadgets, especially the latest and greatest smartphones. Even then, I often found myself gravitating towards compact phones. At this point, I'd even skip a premium foldable just so I could have something a little more handy.

But every now and then, a larger phone would have this one feature or show me why a bigger phone is still so popular. I also want to play games, watch videos, and occasionally keep two apps open without fighting for every inch of screen space. A smaller phone makes many parts of my life easier, but the compromises aren't nonexistent. Simply making the phone wider may solve those problems, but eventually it becomes harder to handle again.

Xiaomi’s latest foldable has me convinced this design is here to stay
The Xiaomi 18 Fold pairs an unusual wider design with a surprisingly large battery, homegrown silicon, and flagship cameras, all packed into a 219-gram body.

September is becoming a very interesting month for foldable phones, and Xiaomi has just added another to the pile. The Xiaomi 18 Fold has launched in China with a shorter, wider shape that looks a little like a passport when closed. It’s quite a departure from the tall and narrow book-style foldables we’ve become used to, but Xiaomi isn't alone in thinking this might be the way forward.

Samsung already went down a similar road with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 in July, giving it a shorter, wider footprint and a 4:3 display when unfolded. Apple is expected to reveal its first foldable iPhone on September 9 — just two days after Xiaomi's launch — and rumors have repeatedly pointed toward a similar passport-style design. Then there's Huawei, which launched the Mate XT 2 today as well, although it is taking things in an entirely different direction with a tri-fold design.

Huawei just dropped its new tri-fold as a spectacular piece of hardware. The redesigned Mate XT 2 has a 10.2-inch folding display, a tougher inward-folding mechanism, and a jaw-dropping price tag. But now that Huawei has revealed the full specifications, one of its most interesting features has little to do with the screen.

The Mate XT 2 can record an electrocardiogram, or ECG, using electrodes built into its metal frame. So if a user unfolds the phone and holds the two sides with both hands, the device can capture a 30-second reading. The accompanying software then generates an ECG report that can flag sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation, premature ventricular contractions, and premature atrial contractions in adults.
