The Ultimate Camera Test... In China

This video introduces the Oppo Find X9 Ultra, a flagship smartphone collaboration with Hasselblad, highlighting its exceptional camera capabilities and unique accessories. The device boasts top-tier specifications including the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and a 7,500 mAh battery. It features a distinctive boxy design with haptic buttons, and comes in Tundra Umber and Canyon Orange color options. The camera system is the standout feature, with a 200MP Sony LYT91 main sensor, a 50MP ultrawide, a 200MP 3x telephoto lens, and a 50MP 10x telephoto lens. The accompanying accessories are designed to enhance the camera experience, transforming the smartphone into something resembling a dedicated camera. These include a grip that improves handling and an all-metal 300mm F2.2 telephoto lens, described as feeling like a "tank." The reviewer embarks on an extensive camera test to China, specifically visiting the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, to showcase the Oppo Find X9 Ultra's capabilities in diverse and challenging environments. The experience at the Great Wall is described as remarkable, with the reviewer having access to a less crowded section, allowing for a deeper appreciation of its scale. The zoom functionality proved particularly useful, enabling the spotting and identification of distant towers and the continuation of the wall along ridges, offering a new perspective on its construction. The reviewer notes that the zoom allowed them to see further than their naked eye could discern. The video also highlights the impressive stabilization of the Find X9 Ultra, even at extended zoom ranges, without the need for external stabilizing equipment. Footage captured while handholding the device demonstrates surprising smoothness, a benefit attributed partly to being outdoors with sunlight. During the Great Wall visit, the reviewer encountered "wall cats," which were a delightful surprise and provided an opportunity to test the camera's ability to capture moving subjects with fine detail, such as fur. The testing then moved to Beijing, where the phone was used in a traditional restaurant setting and later at the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City offered a different visual experience with more color and opportunities to demonstrate the zoom's ability to reframe and recompose shots, effectively acting like multiple cameras in one with extended optical reach. The zoom was used to capture intricate details in carvings, even on structures hundreds of years old, preserving the patina on bronze lions and revealing the stories behind their symbolism. The reviewer also captured close-up shots of blossoms and detailed images of the intricate construction of the buildings' ceilings. Overall, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra is presented as a device with remarkable versatility, particularly in its range and ability to capture detail at a distance. The reviewer emphasizes that the phone's capabilities encourage creativity, making it a fitting tool for environments that demand long-range photography and detailed distant shots. The experience of testing the device in such unique locations is described as unforgettable, with a special thanks extended to OPPO for enabling this comprehensive camera test.
