According to a new report from Digital Chat Station, Oppo will be bringing several upgrades to its cheaper flagship this year with the release of the Find X9 series. Mirroring rivals, the Oppo Find X9 is said to be adopting an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner with a new 50 MP and 1/1.4-inch main camera.

Oppo is not expected to kick off the Find X9 series for a few months yet. If the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro are anything to go by, then Oppo may hold off from introducing will wait until autumn rolls around before unveiling successors. With that being said, recent rumours suggest that MediaTek could allow Oppo to pull forward the release of its next-generation flagships to September.

In the meantime, Digital Chat Station has shared new details on Weibo about what is now believed to be the Find X9. According to the leaker, Oppo is currently developing the device with a 6.59-inch display surrounded by uniform bezels. While that size is unchanged from the Find X8, Digital Chat Station reports that Oppo will be swapping last generation’s optical fingerprint scanner for an ultrasonic equivalent to match rivals sold by Xiaomi and Samsung.

Likewise, the Dimensity 9500 will underpin a new 50 MP and 1/1.4-inch main camera. A periscope telephoto camera will be joining this new main camera, as will an updated design language. Reportedly, wireless charging support, a ‘large’ silicon battery and full waterproofing will be gracing the Find X9 too. Exact details in these regards remain unknown at this stage, though.
