It's also the first time Oppo has brought its Ultra flagship to global markets.
The camera setup is impressive: a 200MP main camera, a 200MP periscope telephoto, another 50MP periscope, and a 50MP ultrawide.
But it's not just about megapixels; the Hasselblad Master Camera System aims for consistent color across lenses.
The rest of the phone is equally high-end, featuring a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED display at 120Hz and a massive 7,050mAh battery.
When you need to charge, 100W wired charging gets the job done quickly.
The main question is whether you like ColorOS. It's capable but can feel busier than stock Android or Samsung's One UI.

At $1,499, it's pricey, but the hardware justifies the cost.
Xiaomi 17 Ultra: For Camera Enthusiasts
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is another pick for camera nerds.
Its main camera uses a 1-inch OmniVision sensor with LOFIC technology, designed to handle a wide range of brightness in difficult scenes.
The 200MP periscope telephoto, developed with Leica, is another highlight. Leica has been involved from the design stage, not just branding.
This phone excels in low-light photography, zooming, and challenging lighting conditions.
Outside the cameras, it offers flagship specs: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED display, and a 6,800mAh battery with 90W wired and 80W wireless charging.
Available in the UK for £1,299, it's a great choice if photography is your priority.
If you care more about software or ecosystem, other options might be better.
