OPPO launched the Hassleblad Teleconveter Kit for the OPPO Find X9 Pro alongside the phone last year. I already brought the review of the phone at the launch. I got to check out the Hasselblad Teleconverter Kit for the phone later. Here is the review of the Teleconverter that offers up to 10x optical zoom and up to 200x digital zoom.

Exclusive to the OPPO Find X9 Pro, the Hasselblad Teleconverter Kit built on Kepler architecture, physically transforms the phone into a professional camera system. It completely blocks the main and ultra-wide sensors, turning, so it only uses the telephoto camera for you to shoot images starting from 230mm or 10x.
| Feature | Specification |
| Native Focal Length | 230mm (10x optical) |
| Aperture | f/2.1 |
| Lens Construction | 13 all-glass spherical lenses (3 layers) |
| Mounting Mechanism | Aramid Fiber Magnetic Case & Mounting Ring |
| Weight | 185g (Lens) + 23g (Case) |
The true test of this teleconverter is how it handles light, depth, and detail across its extreme focal lengths, leveraging the phone’s massive 200MP ISOCELL HP5 telephoto sensor.
The magnetic case in the box offers a good grip so it doesn’t fall off easily. It is a bit tight, so it is hard to remove once installed.
The case covers the back, but the sides are exposed, so if you want the phone to be secure, you will need to move to a standard case after using the teleconverter.
I took it to the A.R. Rahman concert in February. Here is my experience shooting images of the concert.
230mm (10x Optical Base)
This is where the teleconverter absolutely sings. At its native 230mm focal length, the optical depth compression is something you simply cannot fake with software. Backgrounds separate perfectly from the subject with a creamy, natural bokeh rather than an artificial, jagged cutout. Shadow details are incredibly rich, and the dynamic range is far superior to standard periscope lenses. There are no AI oversharpening artifacts here—just pure, Hasselblad-tuned optical clarity.
Here are some 230mm samples
460mm (20x Hybrid Zoom)
Pushing beyond the native glass, the Find X9 Pro utilizes sensor cropping on its 200MP canvas combined with the physical lens. At 460mm, the images remain remarkably sharp. Because the starting point is high-quality optical glass rather than a digital crop of a tiny internal lens, the hybrid fusion holds up beautifully.
Textures on distant buildings or wildlife feathers remain highly defined, though you will notice a slight drop in shutter speed as the camera processes the heavier image file.

920mm (40x Maximum Reach)
At 920mm, we are reaching the absolute limits of the teleconverter and entering heavy computational territory. While images are softer and skin tones can sometimes wash out under the aggressive processing, it is still astonishingly usable for a smartphone setup.
The custom-tuned stabilization algorithms working with the phone’s native OIS are the heroes here, keeping the viewfinder surprisingly steady for handheld shots. It won’t replace a massive DSLR setup for professional sports at this range, but it easily destroys any standalone digital zoom currently on the smartphone market.
Here are some 920mm samples
Beyond 920mm (Up to 200x Digital Zoom)
For the truly curious, the slider doesn’t stop at 40x. You can push the camera all the way to a staggering 200x digital zoom. Once you cross the 920mm threshold, however, the optical advantages of the glass fall away, and the system relies entirely on the image processing of ColorOS (which, as a side note, launched its latest iteration alongside the Find X9 series, not the Reno 15).
At these extremes, framing your subject is a real challenge. Even with the OIS working overtime, holding the phone steady enough handheld—say, if you’re trying to read a distant hoarding down—is incredibly difficult. The resulting photos take on an unnatural, heavily textured, painterly look as the AI attempts to reconstruct details that are simply too far away. It’s a fun party trick for spotting distant landmarks, but for high-fidelity imaging, you will want to stick to the teleconverter’s 920mm cap.
Is It Worth it?
The OPPO Find X9 Pro Hasselblad Teleconverter Kit is not for everyone. It is heavy, it is expensive, and it requires you to physically attach and detach it when you want to switch back to your wide-angle shots. You also lose access to standard software modes like Portrait and Night when it is clipped on. But for photography purists, this accessory is a revelation.
It proves that real glass and proper optics still triumph over software wizardry. If you are willing to embrace the bulk and the slower, more deliberate workflow, this kit rewards you with unmatched mobile telephoto performance. It is a bold, uncompromising statement from OPPO and a massive win for smartphone photography enthusiasts.
The OPPO Hasselblad Teleconverter Kit for the OPPO Find X9 Pro costs Rs. 29,999, but it is currently out of stock at most retailers in India.
