The Oppo Find X9 Pro makes an audacious claim: a massive 7,500 mAh battery inside an 8mm-thin flagship shell, paired with an ultra-bright 3,600-nit OLED and MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500. Put simply, it’s a phone that refuses to compromise on endurance, display punch or raw performance — and it arrives with the camera hardware and software polish to back that up. This is the kind of device that will split opinion: battery lovers will cheer, compact-phone fans will not.
Design and durability that feel expensive
The Find X9 Pro follows the modern flat design trend with softly rounded corners and a premium aluminum frame. The frosted glass back gives a tactile, high-end feel that echoes the best from rivals without copying them. At 224g it’s clearly not aiming for compactness; if you’ve handled an iPhone 17 Pro Max, the heft will feel familiar.
Durability is a stand-out. Oppo rates the phone at IP69 — a level above the usual IP68 — meaning it can withstand high-pressure water jets. That’s a practical upgrade, not a marketing line. Colorways include Silk White, Titanium Charcoal, and Velvet Red.
A blistering 3,600-nit OLED you can actually use outdoors
Oppo packs a 6.8-inch, 120Hz OLED with HDR and an astonishing peak brightness of 3,600 nits. Real-world tests confirm the numbers, and the result is simple: screen visibility under harsh sunlight is exceptional. The in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is wide, fast and more reliable than many optical alternatives, rounding out a display experience that genuinely feels flagship.
Cameras built to zoom — and to be cropped
The headline rear camera is a periscope telephoto with a 200MP sensor (f/2.1, 70mm) and a 1/1.56″ sensor, offering sharp 3x optical zoom and advanced OIS. This is a leap in zoom resolution that lets you crop aggressively without the usual penalties.
Complementing it are:
A 50MP main camera (f/1.5, 23mm, 1/1.28″) with OIS for low-light performance and motion; and a 50MP ultra-wide (f/2.0, 15mm, 120°) with multi-directional PDAF. Together they form a versatile kit that favours detail and flexibility over gimmicks.
Video and the Hasselblad teleconverter — a filmmaker’s nod
Video gets serious upgrades: smooth 4K recording at 120fps, Dolby Vision and a professional LOG mode aimed at creators who want better post-production control. The 50MP front camera (f/2.0) supports 4K@60fps with gyro-EIS and PDAF, so vloggers and selfie shooters aren’t left behind.
Oppo’s Hasselblad Teleconverter accessory turns the periscope into a long-range tool, extending optical reach to a minimum of 10x and up to 40x before digital zoom — a clear statement that Oppo expects users to treat this phone like a proper camera.
Performance: Dimensity 9500 punches above its weight
Powered by the Dimensity 9500 on a 3nm process, the Find X9 Pro balances performance and efficiency. Benchmarks in our input show it outperformed the Galaxy S25 Ultra in single-core and matched top rivals in multi-core tests, while graphics performance even exceeded the Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max in peak scenarios.
With 16GB RAM (plus up to 12GB virtual) and UFS 4.1 storage up to 1TB, heavy multitasking and gaming are treated as baseline features, not optional extras.
ColorOS 16 and AI features
ColorOS 16 leans into a familiar, iOS-inspired aesthetic while keeping Android horsepower under the hood. Oppo’s AI tools — AI Search, AI Writer, AI Interpreter, AI Voice Recorder and Mind Space — add practical convenience rather than flashy headlines. If you like a tidy, semi-opinionated take on Android, this will feel comfortable.
Battery life: the headline you actually care about
This is the phone’s defining strength. The 7,500 mAh silicon-carbon battery, tuned with the efficient Dimensity 9500, delivers exceptional longevity: two full days in typical use and up to three with conservative habits. Lab tests cited here report 25.5 hours in web browsing and 13.5 hours of video — class-leading figures over the last two years.
Charging is pragmatic: 80W wired and 50W wireless are supported, but a full charge takes about 80 minutes due to the battery’s sheer size. A 30-minute top-up hits roughly 50% — enough to rescue a day, but this is a device built for endurance, not instant top-offs.
Verdict: who should buy it
The Oppo Find X9 Pro is rare in its ambitions: it combines top-tier cameras, leading display brightness, and industry-leading battery life without compromising on performance. This is an easy pick for anyone who prizes battery endurance and camera versatility in a flagship shell.
If you want a lighter, pocket-friendly device, or you need lightning-fast charging over long battery life, this won’t please everyone. For buyers who want a flagship that lasts and shoots like a pro, the Find X9 Pro is one of the most compelling choices on the market.
