Exclusive Foresight:
OPPO is doing next-generation pre-research on two 200 MP periscopes
β One 1/1.3"Β± (OV52A or SmartSens SC880XS)
β The other 1/1.12"Β± (IMX09E)
These are the telephoto solutions for two different flagships
The IMX09E (1/1.12") is likely for the Find X10 Ultra, while the 1/1.3" option may target the Find X10 Pro
No continuous zoom yetβcurrently fixed focal length

8 Elite Gen 6 series comes in two versions: a standard version and a Pro version
Both are manufactured using TSMC's N2P process
The successor to the 8 Elite Gen 5 will be the 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro
The third-gen self-developed CPU architecture has been changed to 2+3+3 (8 Elite Gen 5 uses a 2+6 setup with 2 prime and 6 performance cores)
The two versions have different GPU specifications, and it seems that only the Pro version supports LPDDR6

S25 Ultra vs Find X9 Pro comparison at 10x zoom
S25 Ultra has a longer focal length starting from 5x, from which it crops to 10x, but Find X9 Pro has a bigger sensor at 3x which compensates for the longer distance
S25 Ultra at 10x - 1/5.04" with f/6.8
Find X9 Pro at 10x - 1/5.2" with f/7.0
The crucial role here is played by the difference in resolution, as Find X9 Pro outputs 26MP samples and S25 Ultra 12MP

S26 Ultra will offer 24MP mode in both auto and portrait
S25 Ultra only gets 24MP in Expert RAW, sticking to 12MP in auto
With the leaked faster aperture on S26 Ultra, 24MP in auto mode becomes possible without shutter speed issuesβunlike S25 Ultra, which still struggles even at 12MP

Xiaomi 17 Ultra
HPE (1/1.4", 200MP) periscope and new lens group
Engineering prototype with a minimum aperture of F3.0Β± and a maximum aperture of F2.3Β± within the variable focal length range
Let's analyze based on the available information
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra uses a 1/1.4" HP9 sensor at 100 mm (4.3Γ) with f/2.6. Since the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will use the same-sized 1/1.4" HPE sensor, we can use the 15 Ultraβs f/2.6 at 100mm as a referenceβaperture scales proportionally with focal length
The ratio between f/3.0 and f/2.6 is 3 Γ· 2.6 β 1.15
New focal length: 100 mm Γ 1.15 = 115 mm
Xiaomi 15 Ultra: f/2.6 @ 100 mm
Xiaomi 17 Ultra (long end): f/3.0 at 115 mm
The ratio between f/3.0 and f/2.3 is 3 Γ· 2.3 β 1.30
Short end focal length: 115 mm Γ· 1.30 β 88 mm (DCS gave approximate f-numbers, so round to 85 mm)
Thus, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra periscope should span roughly 85mm (3.7x) with f/2.3 to 115mm (5x) with f/3.0 using continuous optical zoom
