OPPO introduces revolutionary LUMO Image Engine in Find X9 Series

• Redefines smartphone camera experience with next-generation computational photography
• OPPO Find X9 Series set to launch in India on November 18

New Delhi, Nov 6, 2025: OPPO today announced the introduction of the LUMO Image Engine, set to debut in the soon-to-launch Find X9 Series. LUMO represents the pinnacle of OPPO’s imaging innovation, integrating advanced optics, colour science, sensor control, and computational processing into one seamless system. Designed to reflect reality as naturally as the human eye perceives it, LUMO produces images with true-to-life light, depth, and detail — without artificial enhancement or exaggerated tones. The result is imagery that simply looks real, intuitive, and human.

LUMO: Human-centred imaging approach

LUMO, OPPO’s proprietary imaging platform, is designed to capture moments as naturally as the human eye perceives them. It works at the foundation level and thoughtfully balances how the camera interprets light, measures depth, preserves colour, and recognises human presence in a frame. Instead of chasing hyper-sharp output or heavy HDR effects, LUMO focuses on delivering accurate tonal balance, natural transitions, and spatial realism across faces, backgrounds, and objects. The result is images that showcase:

• True-to-skin colour under bright, low, and mixed light
• Smooth tone transitions without harsh contrast
• Realistic separation of subject and background
• Depth and shape reproduction without artificial blur

The technology behind LUMO: Four core components

1. Ultra-sensing computational optical system

LUMO achieves gold-standard optical quality across the full focal length range by utilising modules with exceptional light sensitivity. This comprehensive system encompasses five revolutionary technologies working in harmony.

Golden Portrait Full-Focal Length System

The hardware foundation consists of large-aperture optical modules spanning the entire focal length range, integrated with the industry’s first ultra-crystal blue glass alongside chip-level optical packaging. This advanced material improves the infrared cut-off rate by 81% compared to standard solutions, enabling superior light transmission with enhanced infrared filtering, full focal range coverage from ultra-wide to telephoto, professional-grade optical clarity across all focal lengths, and reduced chromatic aberration for sharper, more accurate images.

It’s fine-tuned for versatility with four optimised focal lengths:

1. 15mm ultra-wide – for landscapes and dramatic perspectives

1. 23mm wide – your everyday, natural view

1. 70mm portrait – perfect for lifelike human shots

1. 135mm telephoto – for close-ups with stunning compression

Consider clicking a picture of your kid at his school performance. The stage has bright spotlights and a dark background. Traditional phone cameras struggle; either the performer is too bright or lost in shadow, and colours appear incorrect under mixed stage lighting. With LUMO’s Golden Portrait System, the ultra-crystal blue glass captures significantly more useful light while blocking infrared interference that causes unclear colours. Whether capturing the wide stage or focusing on the performer’s expression, users achieve professional-grade clarity at every focal length.

Ultra-Fast Focusing System

LUMO’s focusing technology delivers 30% faster focus speed with exceptional close-up resolution and an extremely short 10-centimetre minimum focusing distance. When the performer moves across the stage, the Ultra-Fast Focusing System locks onto them instantly, capturing the moment with precision rather than motion blur. Expressions, movements, and gestures are all frozen in perfect clarity.

Multimodal Colour Sensing System

LUMO features the industry’s first True Colour Camera, which precisely senses localised colour temperature variations through partitioned colour temperature sensing technology. Traditional phone cameras apply one colour temperature setting across the entire image, which is why indoor portraits often have unnaturally orange skin tones while the window behind appears blue.

Consider photographing a friend at an outdoor restaurant during sunset. The face is backlit, there are warm ambient lights overhead, and the cityscape behind is illuminated by cool evening light. The True Colour Camera understands that the face needs different colour treatment than the background. It processes each zone with appropriate colour temperature adjustments, ensuring the face looks naturally lit, the ambient lights glow warmly, and the cityscape maintains its cool evening tones, all in one perfectly balanced image.

High-Precision Depth Sensing System

By combining pixel-level depth capture with large-scale artificial intelligence atlas training, this system achieves high-precision depth sensing for detailed subject space computation. It understands exactly where the subject ends and the background begins. In that outdoor restaurant portrait, the friend naturally separates from the cityscape behind them with smooth, professional bokeh—no harsh cutouts, no artificial-looking edges, no fake blur patterns. Just that natural background blur professional photographers achieve with dedicated equipment.

2. Ultra-Perceptive Digital Imaging Engine

LUMO integrates four advanced imaging engines that work in concert to deliver ultra-perceptive digital imaging quality, processing images intelligently in real-time.

True Colour Engine

Equipped with the innovative True Colour Camera, this engine combines hardware-based colour temperature sensing with multi-modal collaborative computation. Unlike traditional true colour lenses that use a unified global colour temperature algorithm, the True Colour Engine utilises partitioned colour temperature sensing. Different areas of the image receive different treatments based on their specific lighting conditions.

In that outdoor restaurant setting, the engine ensures skin tones remain faithful across any lighting condition, the ambient lights retain their warm character, and the background cityscape preserves its authentic cool tones. All processed simultaneously, all perfectly balanced.

Computational Optical Bokeh Engine

This engine delivers exquisite optical bokeh effects by employing refined subject space computation, progressive spatial reconstruction rendering, and three-dimensional lens flare restoration. The result is professional-quality depth-of-field effects that rival dedicated camera systems, complete with natural light falloff and realistic bokeh characteristics.

At a family gathering, the Computational Optical Bokeh Engine ensures each portrait has smooth, realistic depth transitions. A grandparent’s face is sharp and clear whilst the busy background naturally softens. Each family member becomes the clear focus with that professional touch.

HyperTone Image Engine

The HyperTone Engine restores accurate tonal values to mobile imaging, enhancing tonal accuracy for greater nuance. It infuses a professional aesthetic of light and shadow into mobile photography, making shadows rich and detailed whilst keeping highlights from overexposing.

When photographing both bright outdoor spaces and softer indoor environments, the HyperTone Engine brings out subtle nuances in both settings. The play of light across faces, the texture in shadow areas, the warmth of indoor lamps, the brightness of outdoor sun, all are captured with depth and dimension. Every subtle tone receives proper treatment.

Lightning Snap Engine

This engine optimises processing speed and accuracy to freeze motion whilst maintaining image quality, enabling effortless capture of fleeting moments and genuine emotional expressions.

When photographing children at play, the Lightning Snap Engine captures it all: the ball suspended mid-air, the expression of pure delight, the exact moment of action. Motion frozen, emotion preserved, quality exceptional.

3. End-to-End ProXDR

LUMO integrates the world’s first RGB 3D Photon Matrix Computation, significantly enhancing highlight performance. Together with the ProXDR ecosystem and the motion photo ecosystem, this innovation guarantees a comprehensive high dynamic range experience at every stage, from capture to sharing.

RGB 3D Photon Matrix Computation

LUMO has reconstructed a high dynamic range-based computational pathway, allowing uncompressed 16-bit colour information to flow seamlessly throughout the entire algorithm. This unleashes the most complete and accurate colour and luminance information, ensuring no detail is lost at any processing stage.

Traditional phone cameras degrade quality at each processing step. LUMO maintains the original quality throughout, preserving every nuance of colour and light from the moment of capture.

ProXDR Ecosystem

LUMO’s ProXDR ecosystem encompasses all shooting formats and the entire production workflow. From scene preview and photo capture to post-editing and social sharing, it delivers True Colour ProXDR fidelity at every stage.

When capturing a sunset photograph with family members silhouetted against colourful clouds, ProXDR shows a real-time preview of the high dynamic range result before capture. When the photo is taken, full dynamic range is preserved. The dramatic sky retains all its colour gradations, the silhouettes show subtle detail rather than being completely dark. Editing the photo on the device maintains the 16-bit colour depth with no quality degradation. When shared to social media, it looks as breathtaking as it did on the phone’s screen, as stunning as the moment experienced. That emotional impact remains completely intact.

Motion Photo Ecosystem

LUMO has led the rollout of the True Colour ProXDR standard for motion photos, collaborating with Google to implement the high dynamic range standard across an increasing number of social platforms.

Motion photos, the short videos that play when pressing and holding an image, maintain their stunning high dynamic range quality wherever they are shared. All the action and movement are preserved with the same dynamic range and colour accuracy, regardless of which platform friends and family use.

In the Find X9 Series, LUMO operates on the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 platform. The chipset’s Imagiq NPU and ISP provide real-time colour, depth, and motion analysis, ensuring lag-free capture and consistent detail across all focal lengths. A refined thermal and power management design supports sustained 4K recording and extended shooting without performance drop. This alignment allows LUMO to deliver its imaging output smoothly, quickly, and reliably.
