The Find X-series spawns flagship devices for Oppo, and the recent launches-the X9 and the X9 Pro-are the latest additions to the market, brimming with tech advancements. So how do these two stand out? We got our hands on the vanilla X9 for a while, and here is our review.
For our review, we received the Oppo Find X9 with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. Our device was finished in Titanium Grey.
Design and Build
Right out of the box, the first thing I noticed about the phone was how light it is-especially for a device that has a 7025 mAh battery. At around 203 g and only 8 mm thick, it won’t bog you down because of its weight. In fact, it doesn’t bog you down with any of its features. The flat edges and the combination of glass and fused metal ensure a premium feel. Once you power on the phone, you notice the thin bezels that surround the display. The X9 has a 91.0% screen-to-body ratio.
The Find X9 is available in two colours: Space Black and Titanium Grey. The phone also has Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, ensuring it can handle everyday nicks and falls with ease.
Oppo has incorporated several new advancements in the design, such as the 360-degree surround antenna architecture for seamless connectivity and a prioritized Network Boost S1 chip.
Display and Performance
With the Find X9, users get a 6.59-inch AMOLED, 1B colours, 120 Hz, Dolby Vision–enabled HDR10+ / HDR Vivid display capable of 3660 nits peak brightness. The screen, with a pixel density of 460 ppi, offers crystal-clear images with accurate colours. The 120 Hz refresh rate ensures snappy transitions and swift changes while gaming without perceptible noise. We had no issues using the phone indoors or outdoors; it manages brightness well.
Performance and Specs
The MediaTek Dimensity 9500 (3 nm) ensures a user experience free of hassles or glitches. The octa-core processor-1×4.21 GHz C1-Ultra, 3×3.5 GHz C1-Premium, and 4×2.7 GHz C1-Pro-caters well to heavy gamers who plan intensive use. With the ARM G-1 Ultra GPU, the phone is capable of delivering impressive graphics even under strenuous load. To ensure the device doesn’t heat up, it features an expansive vapour chamber system.
Camera and Battery
Oppo says they have equipped the rear of the phone with a Hasselblad Master Camera System, engineered for clarity and true-to-life colours. The setup consists of:
- 50 MP pro-level main camera with a 1/1.4″ sensor, f/1.6 aperture, and OIS
- 50 MP periscope telephoto with a 1/1.95″ sensor, f/2.6 aperture, and OIS
- 50 MP ultra-wide camera
- A True Colour Camera with 9 spectral channels
The phone can record 4K 120 fps Dolby Vision videos, where every frame is smooth and rich in light and shadow. Since the phone supports 4K 120 fps Log, users can shoot like pros with up to 10-bit depth and high dynamic range, making it ideal for professional workflows.
Here are a few samples we took during our review.
During our usage, we had no issues with battery life. It charges fast and drains slowly when left idle. To ensure you’re never out of juice, the Find X9 supports 80W SuperVOOC along with 50W wireless charging.
ColorOS 16
With the new update, users will witness seamless animations with smooth and natural interactions throughout the interface. The phone introduces a new Luminous Rendering Engine, which revamps the Android rendering framework. It delivers smooth visuals and instant responses for immersive experiences.
If that’s not enough, the seamless integration of AI features with a single tap of the Snap Key simplifies tasks. We used it to jot down notes and gather meeting insights, and it performed seamlessly. New features such as Touch to Share, screen mirroring, real-time transcription, and AI Writer make the phone a balanced performer.
Initial Thoughts
The Find X9 is impressive both on paper and in everyday use—a fabulous performer with a good camera and dependable battery life. If you are a normal user the Find X9 would suffice with ease, the pro could be a overkill. With this phone, it’s not just about specs anymore—it’s a battle of novelty, especially when users tend to gravitate toward Cupertino based brands once prices cross the Rs 70K mark. The X9 is priced at Rs 74,999 for the 12GB RAM/256GB storage model and ₹84,999 for the 16GB RAM/512GB model. The phone comes in Space Black and Titanium Grey colourways.
