The OPPO Find X9 distinguishes itself through meticulous refinement, focusing on perfecting the existing experience and setting a new benchmark for flagship devices. It underscores OPPO’s evolving brand identity and its vision for the future of mobile technology.
Minimalist Design Approach
The design philosophy of the Find X9 emphasizes subtlety over ostentation, adopting a minimalist, “quiet luxury” aesthetic. This approach prioritizes understated design elements and premium materials.
Camera Module and Color Options
The camera module, now positioned flush to the left with gently rounded edges, illustrates this design choice, creating a balanced and visually pleasing effect.
Available in Space Black, Titanium Grey, and Velvet Red, the Find X9 offers a range of options. The Space Black variant features a multi-layer painting technique, resulting in a deep, rich black that subtly reflects light and resists fingerprint smudges.
Customizable Features and Ergonomics
The Find X9 replaces the traditional mute switch with a customizable button. The device’s compact dimensions and flat bezel with rounded edges contribute to a comfortable, one-handed user experience.
Immersive Display Technology
The Find X9 retains the exceptional 6.59” AMOLED display from its predecessor, characterized by ultra-thin bezels and a 90.3% screen-to-body ratio.
Enhanced Audio and Visual Comfort
Dual Dolby-supported speakers deliver clear and relatively loud audio. The integration of 3840 PWM Dimming technology and 1nit ultra-low brightness ensures comfortable viewing in any lighting condition.
Powerful Processor and Performance
Powered by the 3nm Dimensity 9500, the OPPO Find X9 delivers exceptional power and is precisely optimized for gaming. OPPO’s Trinity Engine, supporting MediaTek’s processor, ensures extended and uninterrupted gameplay.
Memory and Storage Capabilities
Coupled with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM (expandable to 28GB) and 512GB of internal storage, the Find X9 can handle demanding game titles.
Thermal Management and Gaming Features
Significant improvements have been made to thermal management. During intense gaming sessions, the device rarely exceeds 40-45 degrees Celsius. Although not explicitly marketed as a gaming phone, the Find X9’s specifications and AI-gaming features make it a strong contender. Games like Genshin Impact default to high graphic settings.
Stability and Performance Testing
Stress tests confirm the Find X9’s stability and consistent performance under pressure, demonstrating OPPO’s dedication to providing a smooth, lag-free gaming experience.
Optimized Camera System
The OPPO Find X9 incorporates OPPO’s most refined optics. The triple 50MP rear camera system includes: a 50MP f/1.6 wide camera, a 50MP f/2.6 periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP f/2.0 ultrawide lens. These subtle optimizations result in a noticeably faster and more robust shooting experience.
Hasselblad Collaboration and Image Stabilization
Supported by Hasselblad’s true-to-life Color Calibration and Optical Image Stabilization, the Find X9 captures stunning photos and videos. The cameras exhibit faster shutter response times. Night shots are more refined, and the 3x Optical Zoom (6x lossless zoom) performs admirably even in low-light conditions.
Advanced Video and Cinematic Features
The Find X9 supports 4K video recording at 120fps. A standout feature is the inclusion of XPAN Mode, replicating Hasselblad’s XPAN cinematic camera, which frames subjects in a 21:9 ultra-wide format and allows users to add vintage film textures for a classic look.
Evolution of Hasselblad Partnership
This feature represents a welcome evolution of the Hasselblad partnership, moving beyond color calibration to offer a more tangible and nuanced brand experience. The 21:9 format is particularly well-suited for landscape and scenery photography, adding a cinematic feel to portraits.
Selfie Performance
The Find X9 excels in selfie performance. The 32MP front-facing camera captures great detail and rich portrait shots in various lighting conditions, producing color-accurate selfies from morning till night!
Battery Performance and Charging
The Find X9 is powered by a massive 7025mAh next-gen silicon-carbon battery. OPPO claims that 4 hours of continuous gameplay will only drain the battery 40%.
ColorOS 16 and AI Enhancements
This is the first phone from OPPO that features the latest ColorOS16 out of the box (though the update is being rolled out slowly to various OPPO devices). Based on Android 16, the new OS incorporates a host of AI-enhanced and AI-supported features.
AI-Powered Translation and Transcription
One notable feature is the AI-auto translate and transcribe function. During a recent trip to Shenzhen, China, the feature accurately translated Mandarin presentations, demonstrating its practical utility.
The OPPO Find X9 prioritizes a cohesive, refined user experience that meets the demands of modern smartphone users. It embodies OPPO’s dedication to quality, innovation, and a thorough understanding of its audience. As OPPO continues to advance AI integration, the Find X9 establishes a solid platform for future innovations in mobile technology.
