How? The answer is Silicon Carbon technology.
Launched late in 2025, the Find X9 has now settled into the Indian market with a price tag of ₹74,999. It sits comfortably below the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and fights directly with the Vivo X200 Pro. But is it just a battery bank with a screen, or does it have the soul of a true flagship? I used it for 3 weeks as my primary device to find out.

2. DESIGN & BUILD: Slimmer Than It Should Be
When you pick up a phone with a 7000mAh battery, you expect a brick. The Find X9 is confusingly light (203g).
- The Feel: It uses a new “Velvet Glass” finish on the back that feels like satin but resists fingerprints totally.
- The Cosmos Ring: The camera module is circular (Oppo’s signature), but this year it’s refined with a “Cosmos Ring” design that blends smoother into the back panel.
- Durability: It boasts an IP69 rating. This means you can technically pressure wash it (though I don’t recommend trying).
3. DISPLAY: 3600 Nits of Sunshine
The 6.59-inch panel is slightly smaller than the “Pro” model, making it a perfect size for one-handed use.
- Brightness: With 3600 nits peak brightness, this display is legible even under direct Delhi noon sunlight.
- Bezels: Oppo claims “0.12 cm ultra-thin bezels,” and honestly, the borders are basically invisible. It looks like you are holding a floating piece of glass.
- PWM Dimming: It supports 3840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, which is a blessing for your eyes if you scroll Reels at 2 AM.
4. PERFORMANCE: Dimensity 9500 vs Snapdragon
The Find X9 skips the Snapdragon 8 Elite (reserved for the Pro model) and opts for the MediaTek Dimensity 9500.
- The Truth: In 2026, the gap between MediaTek and Snapdragon is non-existent for daily users.
- Gaming: I played Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile on ‘High’ graphics for 2 hours. The phone warmed up to 41°C but never throttled. The Trinity Engine optimization actually works.
- Daily Use: App opening speeds are instant. The UFS 4.1 storage ensures that moving 10GB files takes seconds.
Is it slower than the Pro? On benchmarks, yes. In real life? You won’t notice unless you are rendering 8K video.
7. CAMERA: The Hasselblad Magic
Oppo’s partnership with Hasselblad continues to mature. You get three 50MP sensors—no 2MP “macro” junk here.
The Main Sensor (50MP Sony LYT-808)
The color science is the winner. Instead of the oversaturated “Samsung Look,” Oppo goes for natural, slightly moody tones. Shadows have depth, and highlights aren’t blown out.

The Portrait Mode (3x Telephoto)
This is where Oppo kills the iPhone. The 3x periscope lens creates a creamy, DSLR-like bokeh. The skin tones are accurately Indian—it doesn’t whiten your face; it preserves the melanin while cleaning up textures.
The Missing Link
It lacks the 200MP Periscope found on the Find X9 Pro. Zoom beyond 10x starts to lose detail. If you want to spy on the moon, get the Pro.
5. BATTERY & ENDURANCE: The 2-Day Flagship
This is the reason you buy this phone.
- Capacity: 7025 mAh (Silicon Carbon).
- Real World Test: I unplugged at 8 AM. Used 5G all day, navigated for 1 hour, watched 2 hours of Netflix, and took 50 photos. By 10 PM, I still had 42% battery left. This is unheard of in the flagship space.
- Charging: The 80W charger (included in the box) takes it from 0-100% in about 48 minutes. It’s not the fastest (Realme does 120W), but with this battery size, you only charge once a day anyway.
6. THE COMPETITION: Find X9 vs The World
We auto-analyzed the current market. The biggest rivals are the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and the Vivo X200 Pro.
| Feature | Oppo Find X9 | Samsung S25 Ultra | Vivo X200 Pro |
| Price | ₹74,999 | ₹1,09,999+ | ₹94,999 |
| Processor | Dimensity 9500 | Snapdragon 8 Elite | Dimensity 9400 |
| Battery | 7025 mAh (Winner) | 5000 mAh | 6000 mAh |
| Zoom | 3x Optical | 10x Optical (Winner) | 3.7x Optical |
| OS Updates | 4 Years | 7 Years | 3 Years |
The Verdict:
- Winner for Battery: Oppo Find X9 (By a mile).
- Winner for Zoom: Samsung S25 Ultra.
- Winner for Value: Oppo Find X9 (It’s ₹30k cheaper than the others).
7. FINAL VERDICT: The Practical Flagship
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
The Oppo Find X9 isn’t chasing benchmarks; it’s chasing peace of mind. It solves the biggest anxiety of modern life: “Will my battery last?” With the Find X9, the answer is always yes.
Buy it if:
- Battery is your priority: You want a phone that genuinely lasts 2 days.
- You love Portraits: The Hasselblad portrait mode is the best in class for human subjects.
- You hate bulky phones: 7000mAh in a 203g body is engineering magic.
Skip it if:
- You need 100x Zoom: The 3x lens is good, but it can’t compete with Samsung’s Space Zoom.
- You are a Custom ROM geek: MediaTek chips generally have poor custom ROM support compared to Snapdragon.
- You want 7 Years of Updates: Samsung and Google offer longer software support.
