Where and when
The roadshow runs across three cities back to back:
- Mid Valley Southkey, Johor Bahru: 11 to 17 May 2026 (already running)
- Centre Court, Suria KLCC: 13 to 17 May 2026 (the headline stop)
- Queensbay Mall, Penang: 19 to 24 May 2026
Each venue features the same set of interactive stations and OPPO MasterClass sessions, with KLCC anchored as the flagship event.
What you'll actually do at the booth
The pitch is built around the Find X9 Ultra's camera. Visitors can try the device's imaging features at hands-on stations, then sit in on MasterClass sessions led by professional photographers and content creators showing what the phone can do in trained hands. For Malaysians who've been comparing flagship cameras on YouTube reviews, the value is comparing them in person, in a controlled setting, against the actual scenes the booth has been styled around.
The deals on offer
OPPO is using the roadshow to push both the Find X9 Ultra and the Find X9s with a stack of incentives:
- Free gifts worth up to RM3,183
- Trade-in rebates for owners upgrading from older devices
- Bundled accessory packages
MY OPPO App members get an extra layer on top: an additional RM300 rebate, plus added discounts on the Hasselblad Earth Explorer Kit and selected IoT products in OPPO's ecosystem. If you've already got the app installed, opening it before walking into the booth is the obvious move.
Why an in-person event for a smartphone in 2026
Camera-led marketing is one of the few categories where physical retail still earns its keep. Spec sheets and YouTube comparisons can show the megapixels, the sensor size, and the lab numbers, but they cannot show how a phone behaves when handed to you in fluctuating mall lighting, or how the imaging UI feels in actual use. Pop-up roadshows let OPPO put the Find X9 Ultra into Malaysian hands at the exact moment a buyer is most price-sensitive, with the rebate stack waiting at the same booth.
The MasterClass angle also lets OPPO borrow credibility from working photographers and creators rather than from its own marketing copy. That tends to convert better with audiences who treat brand claims with healthy scepticism.
Takeaway
If you've been on the fence about a flagship Android upgrade this year, the OPPO Find X9 Ultra Studio Pop Up is a low-friction way to test the camera in person and stack rebates if you decide to buy. Catch it at Mid Valley Southkey JB through 17 May, KLCC from 13 to 17 May, or Queensbay Mall Penang from 19 to 24 May.
