Weekly poll results: the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max is too expensive and so is the Find X10
Oppo flagships were never cheap, but the latest generation may be too expensive to achieve the popularity that it deserves, given the excellent hardware of the phones themselves. The Oppo Find X models aren’t alone in this – memory prices rising hundreds of percent in a matter of months made this outcome inevitable.
The Oppo Find X10 Pro Max is the clear winner of the two – this is how it goes usually when comparing very expensive flagships. People who think they are too expensive already voted “no, thanks”, which leaves the money-is-no-object crowd that just wants the best.
Oppo Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max
The Find X10 Pro Max just may prove to be the best flagship of 2026. If Oppo had called it an “Ultra”, we wouldn’t have argued much against that. But there is an Ultra coming and around 10% of voters want to wait for it. Twice as many voters are looking at flagships from other brands.
The Pro Max certainly has its fans, but judging by the poll results, only around a quarter of those fans are actually willing to buy a unit at its launch price. More may join in if and when Oppo is able to cut the price.
The Oppo Find X10 didn’t do so well – it’s cheaper but not cheap enough to win many people over. This poll shows stronger interest in other flagships than the other poll, both towards the Pro Max and towards flagships from other brands.
Around one in five fans are willing to pay the current price of the X10 – as we noted in last week’s poll, you might be able to find a Find X9 Ultra for the same price or get close to it. This undercuts the vanilla X10 as it doesn’t have the latest hardware (e.g. the Dimensity 9600M is really a 9500-class chip), so the X9 Ultra doesn’t feel as old by comparison (it has a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset).
We’d love to tell you that discounts are coming, but SK hynix, the third largest DRAM maker in the world, warned that memory shortages will last through 2030. So, there will be some discounts eventually, but they may be smaller than what we are used to.

The funny thing is, we customers can wait until these astronomical prices return to normal and the manufacturers realize that we don’t believe their lies, because it’s so easy for us to see through them... Not a single UFS memory chip or SoC for a ...

Nobody is a spec nerd. Just coz Oppo doesn't sell in your country doesn't mean everybody is kept away from Oppo's magic
