Oppo is not playing safe with the Find X10 Pro Max. Its new ultra-flagship pairs three 200MP rear cameras with an 8,000mAh battery, MediaTek’s latest Dimensity 9600 Pro processor and ColorOS 17. That is a spectacular specification list, but it also comes with a spectacular ₹1,99,999 price tag.
The bigger question is whether the phone earns it, because at that price, it’s even more expensive than the base iPhone 18 Pro Max. Oppo’s previous camera flagships, particularly the Find X9 Pro and Find X9 Ultra, already made a strong case against the iPhone and Samsung’s best. The X10 Pro Max wants to go further, promising a camera system without a weak lens, proper two-day battery life and performance that can keep up with almost anything.
After spending a week using it instead of my iPhone 18 Pro Max, the decision was less straightforward than expected. This review looks at whether Oppo’s most ambitious phone yet is good enough to become your main flagship.
The Oppo Find X10 Pro Max wears its ₹1,99,999 price with confidence. Its glass-and-aluminium body is solidly made, carefully finished and immediately feels like it belongs in the ultra-flagship category. The flat matte aluminium frame is particularly good. It keeps fingerprints down and, together with the gently curved sides, makes a large phone easier to hold than its dimensions suggest.
That said, this is not a light handset. The Luna White version weighs 233g, while Titanium Grey is 235g, and the camera assembly shifts some of that weight towards the top. You notice it initially, especially when holding it one-handed, but it is not something that ruined the experience over a week of use.
Oppo offers Titanium Grey and Luna White. Titanium Grey uses sculpted glass for a cleaner, more restrained look. Luna White is more distinctive, with a moon-inspired, two-tone back. Matte glass meets a fabric-like pattern below the camera, while the silver LUMO camera surround, knurled edging and orange Hasselblad accent reference classic camera design without becoming gaudy.
That rear section is in two pieces: a prominent black lens module at the top and a smaller, pill-shaped section below for the True Colour Camera and twin flash. The result is distinctive, though there is no disguising how much space the camera hardware occupies.
Oppo includes its configurable Snap Key on the left side of the frame, alongside the standard power and volume controls. It can be assigned to shortcuts such as AI Mind Space, screenshots and voice recording.
The 6.78-inch display stretches close to the edges, helped by its 1.15mm symmetrical bezels. Oppo has also covered both sides with Crystal Guard Glass and added IP66, IP68 and IP69 protection, alongside SGS five-star drop resistance.
There is nothing missing on connectivity either: dual-SIM support, eSIM, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.2, NFC and USB 3.2 Gen 1 are all included. At this price, that is exactly as it should be. It is a design that balances bold camera hardware with genuinely thoughtful finishing from every angle.
Display quality is one reason the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max feels premium. The 6.78-inch flat LTPO AMOLED panel is sharp at 2772×1272 and 450ppi, but its real advantage is how controlled it looks. It is not merely bright or colourful. It has the range to make HDR content look measured.
The panel varies from 1Hz to 120Hz, reaches 2,000 nits in high-brightness mode and has a 3,600-nit peak. In real-world use, that means no struggle reading navigation, messages or camera controls in hard sunlight. Indoors, it can also fall to one nit and uses high-frequency PWM dimming in low light, helpful at night.
Oppo’s 95 per cent BT.2020 coverage is worth noting. The wider gamut goes beyond the DCI-P3 colour space found on most flagship phones, allowing compatible HDR material to preserve richer shades without pushing everything into cartoon territory. Dolby Vision films and streaming shows benefit most. Highlights have impact, shadow detail remains visible, and colour has more nuance.
The interface runs at 120Hz for most everyday tasks, making scrolls and transitions look fluid. It can move to 144Hz in supported titles such as BGMI, Call of Duty: Mobile and Free Fire Max, but that rate is not available across the system.
The 3D ultrasonic fingerprint reader is fast and dependable.
Audio comes from a symmetrical stereo pair that gets loud, keeps voices clear and gives video a decent sense of separation. They lack dramatic bass, but they are very capable for YouTube, music and casual streaming.
The Oppo Find X10 Pro Max makes its strongest case through the camera system. The Find X9 Pro and Find X9 Ultra were already among the better smartphone cameras available, but this phone raises the hardware stakes with a 200MP main camera, 200MP ultra-wide and 200MP 70mm periscope telephoto. All three were co-developed with Hasselblad, and just as importantly, they deliver a similar character when you move between focal lengths.
That consistency matters more than the headline resolution. Images are detailed and lively, but they do not rely on exaggerated sharpening or aggressive saturation to look impressive. Skin tones are more natural, contrast is better judged, and the cameras preserve a scene’s mood instead of lifting every dark area until it looks artificial.
The 1/1.3-inch main camera uses Oppo’s DeepPix sensor technology. In simple terms, it gives each pixel more room to capture and retain light information, allowing the sensor to deliver up to 17 stops of dynamic range. The advantage is clearest in difficult night scenes. With bright signs, streetlights and deep shadows in the same frame, the Find X10 Pro Max can retain highlight detail without sacrificing the darker parts of the composition. It does this while keeping the result more camera-like than heavily processed.
The ultra-wide has a 200MP 1/1.56-inch sensor and autofocus, which makes it far more capable than the usual token wide-angle camera. It captures clean landscapes, maintains detail towards the edges, and also works well for macro photography. The 70mm 200MP periscope camera is excellent for portraits and close-ups, with convincing subject separation and plenty of detail. Its high-resolution sensor can also produce useful crops at longer zoom levels.
The 50MP autofocus selfie camera remains detailed without overly smoothing faces. Video is another highlight. All three rear cameras record 4K at 60fps and 120fps, along with 8K at 30fps, while Dolby Vision HDR helps in high-contrast scenes. Creators also get O-Log2, real-time LUT monitoring and Open Gate recording, which uses more of the sensor area to make reframing easier in post. It is one of the most complete camera and video packages on a phone right now.
The Oppo Find X10 Pro Max is India’s first phone with MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset. Built on a 2nm process, it is paired with 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM clocked at 9,600Mbps, while storage is 512GB of UFS 4.1. It is an uncompromising specification, and the phone is as quick in everyday use as that hardware suggests.
Its AnTuTu score of 4,241,576 is the highest we have recorded. The Geekbench 7 result is strong, at 2,584 for single-core performance and 9,336 for multi-core, although other flagship chips have posted higher figures in that test.
The more complicated result comes from 3DMark Wild Life Extreme. The Find X10 Pro Max produced a best loop score of 6,049 but dropped to 1,379, leaving it with a 22.8 per cent stability rating. That is unusually low for a phone in this class, and it points to inconsistent sustained GPU behaviour under synthetic stress. It is worth noting, though, that this was not reflected in normal use. A software update may well improve the result.
Apps open immediately, camera processing is rapid, and the phone handles multitasking with little effort. ColorOS 17 also feels well matched to the hardware, with no sense that the interface is slowing the experience down.
Gaming is excellent. BGMI held between 140fps and 144fps at its 144Hz setting, including in heavier scenes, while Call of Duty: Mobile delivered comparable results. The phone warms up during long sessions but never becomes alarmingly hot, and its performance holds up well after an hour. It is capable of genuine flagship performance, whether you are gaming, shooting video or simply moving through a busy day.
ColorOS 17 is the most polished software Oppo has produced so far. It is quick, visually confident and far more cohesive than earlier versions, matching the Find X10 Pro Max’s flagship hardware rather than feeling like a layer placed on top of it. Navigation is responsive, the interface is cleaner, and there is very little friction in everyday use.
The main visual overhaul is Living Flow Design. Oppo divides it into Luminous Effect, Fluid Motion and Flexible Feedback. Luminous Effect brings extra translucency and soft lighting to panels, controls and media elements. Fluid Motion is designed to carry interface elements from one state to another rather than replacing them abruptly. Flexible Feedback makes buttons and panels react to touch with stretch, light and bounce effects.
Behind this sits the Luminous Rendering Engine. The result is that pulling down Quick Settings, opening a menu, moving an app window or returning to the home screen feels connected rather than like a chain of unrelated animations. The updated icons, widgets and folders are easier to read, while the Control Centre is better organised. It makes the operating system feel more immediate without slowing it down.
AI is a major part of ColorOS 17. AI Mind Space is designed as a searchable store for the information that usually gets lost between screenshots, links, notes and voice recordings. Plus Mind can capture the relevant content from your screen and add it to that space, letting the system organise it into collections that are easier to revisit.
AI Mind Pilot is more ambitious. Oppo describes it as an agentic assistant that can work with services such as ChatGPT and Manus. Rather than simply answering a prompt, it can understand the task, pull together relevant information and complete parts of a multi-step action. It can help plan an itinerary, find images and organise an album, among other tasks.
AI Photo Agent is the consumer-friendly counterpart. It can make edits through plain-language instructions, including changes to lighting, composition and retouching, or it can work from a reference image. The phone also includes AI Call Guard for detecting suspicious synthetic voices and AI Face Swap Detection for flagging manipulated faces. The feature list is extensive, but ColorOS 17’s real success is making it all feel useful rather than overwhelming.
Battery life is one of the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max’s clear advantages. Its 8,000mAh silicon-carbon battery turns it into a two-day phone for users. Heavy camera use, long streaming sessions, navigation, social media and gaming still left enough charge to finish the day without concern.
That endurance changes the experience. A busy day does not automatically mean carrying a power bank.
The phone supports 80W SUPERVOOC wired charging, 50W AIRVOOC wireless charging, and reverse wired and wireless charging for accessories. It is not the quickest charging setup among ultra-flagships, and an 8,000mAh battery will always take time to fill. But the trade-off is easy to accept when the phone spends so much less time connected to a charger.
The Oppo Find X10 Pro Max costs ₹1,99,999, which is more than what you would pay for a base iPhone 18 Pro Max. But, I will say this, it earns it’s place by being far more than a camera phone.
Its three 200MP rear cameras are the attraction. They offer excellent consistency across focal lengths, natural image processing and strong video tools. More importantly, the rest of the experience is polished. The display is outstanding, ColorOS 17 is Oppo’s strongest software release, battery life excels, and the Dimensity 9600 Pro has all the performance expected from an ultra-flagship.
There are caveats. It is large and heavy, while the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme stability result is unusual enough to warrant attention. The 80W charging system is not the fastest at this level either, though an 8,000mAh battery was never going to be refilled instantly.
Those points do not undermine the phone’s central appeal. The Find X10 Pro Max does not force buyers to choose between a great camera and a complete flagship experience. It delivers both.
After using it in place of an iPhone 18 Pro Max, I am keeping my main SIM in the Oppo for now. For a phone entering this price bracket, that is a remarkably strong endorsement.
