Leaked Camera Specs for Xiaomi 16, Honor 8, Vivo X300, and Oppo X9 Ultra

While the tech world prepares for the autumn launch of standard and Pro model smartphones from Xiaomi, Honor, Vivo, and Oppo, renowned leaker Digital Chat Station is offering an exclusive glimpse into what awaits in the first half of 2026. New information has surfaced regarding the camera configurations for the upcoming, top-of-the-line “Ultra” models, revealing that the battle for photographic dominance will be fought on the grounds of massive 200-megapixel sensors and advanced periscope zoom systems.

According to the Leaked camera specs, the manufacturers will be split into two camps regarding their choice of primary sensor. Xiaomi 16 Ultra will reportedly use a 50-megapixel OmniVision OV50X as its main sensor, while the Honor Magic 8 Ultra is tipped to use the related 50-megapixel OmniVision OV50R.

On the other hand, Vivo X300 Ultra and Oppo Find X9 Ultra are betting on raw resolution, with both expected to feature a massive 200-megapixel Sony sensor (likely the Sony IMX09E, which could be marketed as the Lytia LYT-990).

Beyond the primary sensors, the leak provides further details about the rest of the camera systems, revealing the distinct approaches of each manufacturer:

• Xiaomi 16 Ultra: A triple-camera system is expected, including a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide camera (Sony LYT-600), and an impressive 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera featuring continuous optical zoom in the 3x to 5x range.
• Honor Magic 8 Ultra: This model will reportedly feature a “dual-primary” setup with a large 1/0.98-inch main sensor and a 200-megapixel Samsung HP9 periscope lens offering an optical zoom range of 4.3x to 7x.
• Vivo X300 Ultra: Is said to use a customized 200-megapixel Sony LYT-990 main sensor, paired with another 200-megapixel Samsung HPB periscope telephoto camera and an ultra-wide lens.
• Oppo Find X9 Ultra: Could offer the most versatile package with a quad-camera system: a 200MP main Sony sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, one 200-megapixel periscope camera, and an additional 50-megapixel periscope camera that will enable digital zoom up to 200x.

While unofficial, this information about leaked camera specs clearly indicates the trends for 2026: a massive adoption of high-resolution sensors and increasingly complex and powerful optical zoom systems, promising another exciting year in the world of mobile photography.
