There's no reason given, but it's easy to guess that it all has to do with the insane memory prices which would have pushed the Find X10 Ultra to stratospheric levels, considering it was supposed to be a camera-centric flagship, and those cameras aren't cheap either. Oppo Find X9 Ultra According to past rumors, the Ultra was going to have a...
