OPPO didn’t just launch a phone, they threw down a gauntlet. The Find X9 Series isn’t tweaking the flagship formula; it’s rewriting the playbook with a camera-first swagger and silicon-fueled ambition. With a heavy emphasis on imaging, performance, and design, the new lineup, comprising the Find X9 and Find X9 Pro, positions itself as a comprehensive upgrade across the board.
Imaging Innovation: Hasselblad Partnership Goes Deeper
OPPO’s longstanding collaboration with Hasselblad reaches new heights in the Find X9 Series. The Find X9 Pro introduces a 200MP Hasselblad Telephoto camera, a standout feature that combines a large 1/1.56-inch sensor with a Hasselblad-certified lens and a fast f/2.1 aperture. This setup allows for impressive macro capabilities and lossless zoom up to 13.2x, with OPPO’s Active Optical Alignment process reportedly boosting resolution by 15%.
The standard Find X9 isn’t far behind, offering a trio of 50MP cameras, including a main sensor with a wide f/1.6 aperture and a periscope telephoto lens. A dedicated True Color Camera rounds out the system, promising more accurate color reproduction in challenging lighting.
Both models benefit from OPPO’s new LUMO Image Engine, which leverages parallel computing to reduce CPU and memory usage while enhancing clarity and dynamic range. The result is a camera system that adapts intelligently to lighting conditions, switching between 50MP, 25MP, and 12MP modes as needed.
Video and Concert Features: Built for Creators
OPPO isn’t just courting content creators and concert junkies, it’s rolling out the red carpet, handing them a backstage pass, and offering a camera rig that fits in their pocket. With 4K Motion Photos, Dolby Vision HDR at a buttery 120fps, and LOG recording backed by ACES certification, the Find X9 Series is clearly engineered for those who treat their camera roll like a portfolio.
But the appeal stretches far beyond the pit at Coachella. Think wedding videographers capturing cinematic vows without hauling a shoulder-mounted rig. Think travel vloggers snagging crisp stills from drone-like telephoto footage. Even sports parents can freeze-frame their kid’s game-winning goal in glorious 4K without fumbling with burst mode.
The Find X9 Pro’s telephoto lens doesn’t just zoom, it narrates. Whether you’re filming a street performer from across the plaza or documenting wildlife from a respectful distance, the ability to extract high-res stills from video means you’ll never miss the moment you didn’t know you needed.
And for creators who live in the edit bay, LOG recording with ACES certification is a dream come true. It’s like shooting RAW for video, flat, flexible, and ready for color grading that matches your brand aesthetic or mood board. Whether you’re crafting a moody short film
This isn’t just a phone; it’s a production studio disguised as a slab of glass and metal.
For those seeking even more reach, OPPO offers a Hasselblad Teleconverter accessory that enables up to 200x digital zoom for photos and 50x for video.
Battery and Performance: Big Numbers, Slim Profile
Battery life sees a significant upgrade, with the Find X9 packing a 7025mAh cell and the Pro model boasting a 7500mAh battery, the largest in any OPPO flagship to date. Despite these capacities, both devices maintain a slim profile thanks to OPPO’s third-generation Silicon-Carbon Battery technology.
Charging options include 80W wired SUPERVOOC™, 50W AIRVOOC™ wireless, and 10W reverse wireless charging.
Under the hood, the Find X9 Series is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chipset, built on a 3nm process. OPPO’s Trinity Engine optimizes resource management, offering features like Dynamic Frame Sync and Sensor Offload to improve efficiency during demanding tasks like 4K HDR video recording.
Design and Durability: Flat, Bright, and Tough
The Find X9 Series adopts a flat-edged design with ultra-thin bezels and a peak display brightness of 3600 nits. Available in finishes like Titanium Grey and Silk White, the devices feature matte aluminum frames and glass backs engineered to resist fingerprints.
Durability is another highlight, with IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings offering protection against dust, water jets, submersion, and even high-temperature spray.
Software: ColorOS 16 Expands AI and Cross-Device Features
At the heart of this update is a suite of new tools designed to elevate productivity, creativity, and user control. AI Mind Space acts as a dynamic repository for saved content, whether it’s text, images, or webpages, captured with a simple three-finger swipe or action button. Once stored, users can tap into contextual assistance powered by Google Gemini, generating summaries, itineraries, or creative drafts with full transparency over data access.
For audio-heavy workflows, AI Recorder and AI VoiceScribe offer high-accuracy transcription and smart summarization, ideal for meetings, lectures, or interviews. VoiceScribe even supports multilingual input and keyword tagging, making retrieval fast and intuitive. On the visual side, AI Portrait Glow intelligently enhances skin tone and lighting in low-light portraits, while OPPO’s broader editing suite, featuring AI Eraser, AI Unblur, and AI Reflection Remover, gives users powerful one-tap tools to clean up and refine their shots. Meanwhile, AI Writer and AI Call Summary help users draft content and recap phone conversations, all processed securely within OPPO’s AI Private Computing Cloud, which leverages Google Cloud’s confidential computing services.
Cross-device control gets a serious upgrade with O+ Connect, now supporting both Mac and Windows platforms. Users can remotely control their PC, mirror multiple apps, and share clipboard content across devices with ease. Tablet users benefit from multi-app mirroring, up to five apps at once, while Phone Connect bridges Android and iOS ecosystems, enabling call and message sharing between OPPO phones and iPhones, plus real-time app notifications.
Visually, ColorOS 16 introduces the Luminous Rendering Engine, which renders UI animations in parallel for smoother transitions, and the Trinity Engine, which balances power and performance using chip-level Dynamic Frame Sync. The new Flux Home Screen and Liquid Glass UI bring a translucent, customizable aesthetic inspired by natural light and shadow, rounding out a software experience that’s as fluid as it is functional.
Availability and Configurations
The Find X9 Series will be available globally starting early November. The Find X9 comes in three configurations: 12GB + 256GB, 12GB + 512GB, and 16GB + 512GB. The Find X9 Pro is offered in a single 16GB + 512GB variant.
