The OPPO Find X9 series is the latest flagship line from OPPO, launched globally in late 2025. It comprises at least two models: the Find X9 (standard) and Find X9 Pro. The series is built to push the envelope in camera performance, design, battery life and performance. Some of the headline features:
- Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset (3 nm process) for the whole series.
- Very large batteries: the standard model has 7,025 mAh (typical) for example.
- High-end imaging systems, especially in the Pro model, including telephoto zoom, large sensors, collaboration with Hasselblad.
- Premium build and design: slim thickness, flat edges, ultra-thin bezels (1.15 mm symmetric) and IP rating for dust/water.
- Charging: 80 W wired, 50 W wireless (in many markets) for the series.
Design & Build Quality
For example, the standard Find X9 (model CPH2797) is listed with dimensions ~156.98 mm (height) × 73.93 mm (width) × 7.99 mm (thickness) and weight approx 203 g. That means it’s relatively slim for a flagship with large battery and high-end features.
Materials & finishes
- It uses a flat-edged aesthetic with a contoured frame, giving a premium feel.
- The finishes include Titanium Grey, Space Black and Velvet Red for the standard model. The Pro adds Silk White and Titanium Charcoal.
- Matte aluminum frame + glass back cover that resists fingerprints.
- Fortunately, it carries high IP ratings: IP66, IP68 and IP69 so excellent protection against dust, water submersion and high-temperature spray.
Display design
- Ultra-thin bezels: symmetric 1.15 mm thin according to OPPO.
- Flat display (not curved), helping perhaps usability and avoiding some of the distortion issues on curved edges.
- On the front, the standard model uses a 6.59-inch display (as per spec sheet) with 95.4 % screen ratio.
Display & Multimedia
- 6.59″ OLED display, resolution 2760×1256 px (FHD+).
- Refresh rate: Maximum 120 Hz; touch sampling up to 240 Hz.
- Peak brightness: Up to 3600 nits (for outdoor use) according to OPPO press info.
- Minimum brightness: Down to 1 nit – helpful for night use / low light.
- Display features: Ultra-thin bezels, support for HDR video, high PWM dimming frequency for eye comfort, “ProXDR display” wording
Multimedia / video / audio
Although specifications don’t always list speaker details in the publicly accessible spec sheets I found, given OPPO flagship status one would expect stereo speakers, high audio output quality and perhaps HDR10+ support. The display spec suggests strong multimedia experience.
Performance & Hardware
- Both the standard and Pro models use the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset.
- Built on TSMC 3nm process (for the chip) according to OPPO announcement.
- Highlighted improvements: up to 32% higher single-core performance, up to 17% higher multi-core performance over previous generation, and up to 55% lower peak power consumption (benchmarks per OPPO/MediaTek).
- GPU: Arm G1-Ultra in this chipset offers up to ~33% higher graphics performance, ~42% better power efficiency
- NPU (neural processing unit) – improved for AI tasks.
Memory / Storage
From the standard Find X9 spec sheet:
- RAM types: LPDDR5X.
- Storage: UFS 4.1.
- Memory configurations: 12 GB+256 GB, 12 GB+512 GB, 16 GB+512 GB.
Cooling & sustained performance
OPPO mentions a customised vapour chamber cooling system and other thermal management to ensure stable performance under heavy loads (e.g., gaming, recording video).
Camera Systems
Arguably one of the most compelling aspects of the Find X9 series is the camera hardware and imaging features.
Standard Find X9 – Main camera features

Market & Pricing
Launch pricing & availability
- According to The Times of India article: The Find X9 starts at EUR 999 (~Rs 1,02,800) in Europe; Find X9 Pro at EUR 1,299 (~Rs 1,33,600) as of launch.
- Indian launch is set for early November (as per article) in India.
- Global availability: “early November” for India market. Business Standard article emphasises same spec for global version.
Positioning
This is clearly OPPO’s flagship flagship line (above Reno, etc). It competes with the top tier of Android phones (Samsung S-series, Xiaomi Ultra, etc). Features like 200MP telephoto, 7,000mAh+ battery, 120Hz display, 80W charging all suggest premium tier.
Comparisons, Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
- Excellent camera hardware (especially on Pro) especially for photography/creators.
- Large battery capacity + fast charging (wired & wireless) great for heavy users.
- Premium build + high IP ratings durability + premium feel.
- High-performance chipset (3nm) + modern memory/storage + good display.
- Feature-rich software and ecosystem (Snap Key, AI tools, etc).
Potential Weaknesses / Things to Check
- Cost: Flagship pricing may be high; value depends on how it prices in India and what offers are available.
- Display resolution (standard model uses FHD+ rather than QHD) for very picky users this might matter.
- Heavy camera/zoom marketing often needs to be verified in real-world; extremely high zoom (120×) while flashy, may not match optical clarity.
- Game support / fps: One user pointed out some games cap at 60 fps as of now for this hardware.
- Accessory inclusion: One Reddit thread suggested charger/case may not come in box, causing extra expense.
- Regional service and updates: For Indian users, local support matters.
In summary: the OPPO Find X9 series is OPPO’s strong statement in 2025 flagship smartphone space. It brings together many leading-edge features: 3nm chipset, huge battery, fast charging, premium build, standout camera hardware, large zoom capabilities, software sophistication. If OPPO executes well (software updates, regional support, value for price) it could be one of the best flagship options around
