Flagship phones in 2026 have a problem: they are all starting to look and act the same. But then comes the OPPO Find X9 series, and it’s like someone finally listened to our prayers.
Starting at ₹74,999 for the standard model and going up to ₹1,09,999 for the Pro, OPPO has done the unthinkable. They’ve packed a 7,500mAh battery (yes, you read that right!) into a body that doesn’t feel like a brick. The real truth is, while Samsung and Apple are giving you incremental battery updates, OPPO has just broken the 2-day barrier for heavy users. But is it just a big battery with a camera attached? With a 200MP Hasselblad Periscope lens on the Pro and the screaming-fast Dimensity 9500 under the hood, this series is aiming for the throat of the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Don’t waste your money on a “safe” choice until you see what this beast can do.

2. DESIGN & BUILD (Deep Dive)
OPPO has mastered the art of “slim-power.” Despite the monstrous battery capacities, the Find X9 is only 7.99mm thin, while the Pro is 8.3mm.
- Weight & Feel: The Pro model weighs 224 grams. It has a reassuring heft but the weight is distributed so well that it doesn’t feel top-heavy. The Aerospace-grade Aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 make it feel like a tank wrapped in silk.
- The Durability King: This series comes with Triple IP Ratings (IP66, IP68, and IP69). This means it can handle high-pressure hot water jets—basically, you can take it into a hot shower or use it in a monsoon without a second thought.
- In-Hand Ergonomics: The “Silk White” finish on the Pro has a matte texture that is completely smudge-proof. No more wiping your phone every five minutes.
3. DISPLAY & VISUALS

Both phones feature what OPPO calls the ProXDR Display, and boy, it is bright.
- Brightness Test: Under the direct sun of a 40°C Indian afternoon, the 3,600 nits peak brightness keeps everything visible. You won’t find yourself squinting at Google Maps anymore.
- Ultra-Thin Bezels: At just 1.15mm, the bezels are almost invisible. It creates an “all-screen” effect that makes the iPhone 16 look dated.
- Eye Care: The 3840Hz PWM Dimming is a lifesaver for late-night scrollers. It eliminates screen flicker at low brightness, significantly reducing eye strain.

4. PERFORMANCE & GAMING
OPPO went all-in with the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 this year.
- Real-World Stress Test: In Genshin Impact at maximum settings, the Pro model holds a steady 60FPS even after 40 minutes. The new Vapor Chamber cooling (covering over 36,000 sq mm) does a fantastic job of keeping the frame from burning your fingers.
- Multitasking: With 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, I had 35 apps open, including a heavy video export in the background, and the UI didn’t skip a single beat.
- The Real Truth: While the performance is flagship-level, the ColorOS 16 still comes with a few pre-installed apps you won’t want. Thankfully, you can delete most of them now.
5. CAMERA: THE HASSELBLAD MONSTER
This is why you are paying the “Pro” tax. The 200MP Hasselblad Periscope Telephoto is a marvel of engineering.
- Zoom Performance: At 3x and 6x, the detail is breathtaking. You can see the individual threads on a bird’s feathers from 20 feet away. Even at 120x AI Zoom, the images are surprisingly usable thanks to OPPO’s new LUMO Image Engine.
- Main Sensor: The Pro uses the Sony LYT-828 (1/1.28-inch). It captures colors that look “expensive”—not the overly saturated blues and greens of cheaper phones, but natural, Hasselblad-calibrated tones.
- Video Mastery: You can record 4K at 120fps Dolby Vision on the Pro. It’s perfect for creators who want that cinematic slow-motion look without carrying a DSLR.

6. BATTERY & ENDURANCE
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: the 7,500mAh Silicon-Carbon battery.
- The Marathon Runner: In my testing, the Pro model lasted 11.5 hours of Screen-On Time. That is nearly two days of moderate use.
- Charging Speeds:
- 0-50% in 16 minutes.
- 0-100% in 38 minutes.
- The Trade-off: While 80W is fast, competitors like Realme are pushing 150W+. However, given the massive battery size, 38 minutes for a full charge is an incredible engineering feat.
7. THE COMPETITION
Find X9 Pro vs Samsung S26 Ultra vs Xiaomi 15 Ultra

| Price (India) | ₹1,09,999 | ₹1,39,999 | ₹1,09,999 |
Winner: If you want Battery Life and Zoom versatility, the OPPO Find X9 Pro is the clear winner. The Samsung is more expensive and has a much smaller battery, though it wins on software longevity (7 years vs OPPO’s 5 years).
8. FINAL VERDICT
The OPPO Find X9 series isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a repositioning. OPPO has stopped trying to copy Apple and started solving real problems—like battery anxiety and durability.
