Big blow for Qualcomm? This upcoming Ultra flagship could skip Snapdragon flagship SoCs
The successor to one of the best camera phones on the market may go the MediaTek way.
Chinese smartphone manufacturer OPPO is reportedly planning to switch to MediaTek's Dimensity 9600 Pro chip for its upcoming Find X10 Ultra flagship, according to reports from leakers Smart Pikachu on Weibo and Abhishek Yadav on X. This move marks a significant departure from OPPO's previous choice of Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC for the Find X9 Ultra, which launched earlier this year.
The Find X10 Ultra is expected to feature several notable upgrades, including a groundbreaking 200MP main camera that incorporates LOFIC technology. Qualcomm's dominance in the premium smartphone segment, which is primarily attributed to its Snapdragon chipsets, appears to be unraveling as more companies, including MediaTek, gain traction in catering to the high-end device market.
