10x zoom is coming back to phones.

Oppo is gearing up for April’s release of the Find X9 Ultra, and just confirmed it’ll have a 10x periscope lens — I think the first in any phone since Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra in 2023. Oppo’s Zhuo Shijie says the company pioneered a new five-reflection prism periscope to make it possible without a loss of quality.

The Find X9 Ultra 10x camera will use a custom 50-megapixel Samsung JNL sensor, allowing “optical quality” images at up to 20x.
