OPPO Product Manager Zhou Yibao confirmed on Weibo that the company is working with Hasselblad to develop a custom imaging kit. The hashtags on the post are for the OPPO Find X9 series, the company’s next flagship lineup.
Mr. Zhou mentions that the company not only made the camera kit for the Pro flagship, but also made “imaging accessories” for the standard variant.
Mr. Zhou was quoting a rumor/leak post by another Weibo user that said an OPPO x Hasselblad Imaging Kit will be released in October. The rumor mentioned that this would be the industry’s first photography kit created by a camera brand. It is also said to come with a magnetic photography grip, which could be more convenient than snap-on designs. Further, it will come with a “Hasselblad professional external telephoto converter” with “excellent image quality and resolution.”
The rumor post also included an image of this OPPO x Hasselblad Imaging Kit, as shown below, but Mr. Yibao mentions that the actual product differs from this leaked render.
