Digital Chat Station said Oppo has scrapped the Find X10 Ultra, ending plans for a flagship successor to the Find X9 Ultra.
16GB RAM appears to be the main casualty of the so-called RAMageddon, with soaring memory prices making ultra-premium Android phones harder to price competitively.
Oppo had already trimmed the current Find X10 Pro Max to a MediaTek flagship chip and mostly 12GB RAM, even as that model remains expensive in Europe.
The canceled Ultra was expected to carry a 200MP main camera, a 200MP periscope telephoto, a 50MP 10x periscope and a 100MP front camera, underscoring how component costs are reshaping top-end phone lineups.
