Oppo has officially pulled back the curtain on the Hasselblad Professional Imaging Kit for its upcoming flagship, the Find X9 Pro — and it’s easily one of the boldest smartphone photography accessories we’ve seen this year.
The kit adds modular, professional-grade hardware to the Find X9 Pro, giving it a form and feel closer to a compact camera than a phone. Think: attachable zoom optics, a tactile grip, and Hasselblad-tuned imaging.
What’s inside the kit
According to Oppo’s official reveal, the Hasselblad Imaging Kit includes:
- A Hasselblad teleconverter, offering extended optical zoom.
- A magnetic handle with a physical shutter button for real camera-like control.
- A magnetic protective case that connects the attachments seamlessly.
- A leather shoulder strap — because if you’re shooting like a pro, you might as well carry it like one.
The kit will debut alongside the Find X9 series launch on October 16, 2025, and will be sold separately from the phone.
Camera hardware and Hasselblad touch
The Find X9 Pro itself packs serious hardware:
- A 200 MP periscope lens, reportedly based on Samsung’s HP5 sensor (NotebookCheck).
- Dual 50 MP wide and ultra-wide cameras plus a 2 MP multispectral sensor for color accuracy.
- An improved XPan Mode, delivering film-style ultra-wide shots inspired by classic Hasselblad cameras.
Oppo says the partnership goes beyond branding — it integrates Hasselblad’s color science and tone mapping throughout the image pipeline (Android Central). If the optical teleconverter works as advertised, it could deliver true optical zoom levels that rival compact mirrorless cameras — something most smartphones still rely on digital cropping to fake.
Expert view & what it means
This move shows Oppo’s ambition to bridge the gap between phones and standalone cameras. While other brands have tried modular setups before — like Motorola’s old Hasselblad Moto Mod — Oppo’s version feels more refined and purpose-built.
The design is sleek and magnetic, fitting tightly into the Find X9 Pro’s camera housing, which could make it more practical than past attempts. As noted by DIY Photography, this accessory aims to give creators a “true handheld camera experience,” complete with stability, grip, and physical controls.
Still, using the full kit adds some bulk, and its success will depend on how well Oppo’s computational imaging blends the teleconverter’s optical data with the phone’s native sensors.
The takeaway
With this launch, Oppo is signaling that smartphone photography is entering a modular era — one where you can upgrade physical optics, not just rely on AI zoom tricks.
Whether the Hasselblad Imaging Kit becomes a must-have for enthusiasts or a niche accessory will depend on real-world results. But one thing’s certain: the Find X9 Pro is shaping up to be one of the most camera-focused phones of 2025 — and Oppo’s most ambitious Hasselblad collaboration yet.
