Oppo Find X10 Ultra and Vivo X500 Ultra Global Launch Uncertain
17.08.26
Rumors that major Chinese smartphone manufacturers might abandon their “Ultra” flagship series have been circulating for months. Recent leaks confirm these concerns, as brand strategies appear to be undergoing significant shifts.
Oppo X10 Ultra and Vivo X500 Ultra: Global Release Scrapped?
There is near-certain information that Xiaomi will skip the development of the Xiaomi 18 Ultra this year, choosing to focus on the Pro versions of its devices instead. According to recent leaks, competitors Oppo and Vivo are following a different path. Both companies are expected to unveil their next-generation “Ultra” flagships, but only for the Chinese market. A release on the international stage is currently not in the plans.
Expectations and Context: A Return to the Old Status Quo
This scenario looks like a return to the brands’ previous practices. The current models—Oppo Find X9 Ultra and Vivo X300 Ultra—were the first in their respective lineups to receive a full global launch. Now, the situation may change, and the new Oppo Find X10 Ultra and Vivo X500 Ultra could remain exclusive to the domestic Chinese market. It remains unclear whether this strategy will also affect less premium models within future flagship series.
