Oppo is reportedly ceasing development on the Find X10 Ultra, a high-end smartphone expected to be a flagship in mobile photography. The decision comes amid a surge in memory costs, known as "RAMageddon," which has affected the smartphone industry. The LPDDR5X mobile DRAM, crucial for top-tier smartphones, has seen a price increase of over 90% quarter-over-quarter due to high demand from cloud hyperscalers.
This has forced memory manufacturers to prioritize AI server memory supply, leaving limited capacity for handset brands. As a result, the Find X10 Ultra's aggressive spec sheet, including its advanced memory configuration, is now shelved. Industry leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo confirmed the suspension, stating that it pertains to the current generation and subsequent releases.
However, Oppo has not issued an official statement regarding the device's fate. The cancellation of the Find X10 Ultra may impact the availability of premium mobile photography features for Oppo consumers, but the news remains unconfirmed. The broader implications of this decision could influence future smartphone pricing, configurations, and feature prioritization as manufacturers navigate the challenges posed by escalating hardware costs.
