Leakers Smart Pikachu and Abhishek Yadav report that OPPO's upcoming Find X10 Ultra flagship, codenamed 'xinyun,' may run on MediaTek's Dimensity 9600 Pro chip instead of a Snapdragon processor. This would mark a shift from the Find X9 Ultra, launched earlier this year with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, though the recent Find X10 Pro Max already uses the same Dimensity 9600 Pro chip. The Find X10 Ultra is also expected to carry a 200MP main camera with LOFIC technology.
