Oppo Find X10 Ultra may be canceled due to RAM crisis

It is claimed that the highly anticipated Oppo Find X10 Ultra was canceled due to the global RAM crisis and increasing memory costs. Here are the details of the leak:

Climbing memory costs in the global smartphone market directly shake the flagship plans of technology giants. According to the latest information leaked from the industry backstage, Oppo is considering shelving the Find X10 Ultra model, which is expected to be equipped with top-level components, due to increasing RAM prices. The memory cost crisis, called "RAMageddon" in the supply chain, leaves the future of devices, especially at the highest level, uncertain.

Change in Hardware Preferences and Cost Pressure

The company's previous flagship, Find X9 Ultra, was showcased with its Qualcomm signed Snapdragon processor and 16 GB RAM capacity. This powerful combination of hardware; It created an ideal infrastructure for intense mobile games, applications requiring high processing power and advanced image processing processes. However, maintaining the same memory level in new generation devices challenges manufacturers due to rapidly rising parts costs. The Find X10 Pro Max model, which is currently on sale, also provides concrete evidence of this change. While Oppo chose MediaTek's upper segment chipset instead of Qualcomm in this model, it mainly offered the 12 GB RAM option on the memory side. This choice is directly interpreted as a move to rein in costs.

Price Balances and Their Reflections on the User Segment

The fact that the Find X10 Pro Max model is already in the European market with high price tags makes it very difficult to price a more advanced Ultra model that will be positioned above it. Instead of offering a record price tag that will weaken the sales chances, canceling the project is seen as a more feasible step on the manufacturer's side. While the crisis puts the sustainability of the top hardware standards in the smartphone world at risk, it also points out that consumers may encounter more limited technical features or much higher prices in the top segment.
