features, price and technical sheet

OPPO is back on track. After launching last year the OPPO Find X8 Proa terminal whose camera we loved, the Chinese firm did not want to let the month of October pass without renewing its catalog with the OPPO Find X9 and Find X9 Pro. They are, as it could not be otherwise, two devices that aspire to the throne of the most premium high-end Android and that, to no one’s surprise, bet everything on the camera.

The biggest differences between both models are in the screen and in the photographic section. The most striking thing is, once again, the zoom and the battery. OPPO has been betting on the silicon-carbon batteries and in its new models it has not skimped on milliamp hours: both terminals exceed 7,000 mAh capacity. That being said, let’s get to know them a little better.

Technical sheet of the OPPO Find X9 5G and Find X9 Pro 5G

A renewed design, although equally striking

If last year we had a huge circular module at the back and flat edges, the OPPO Find X9 returns to the origins with a rectangular module in the corner and straighter framessimilar to what we see in other smartphones. The module protrudes noticeably from the chassis, as does the new Snap Key (equivalent to the action button on iPhones and OnePlus terminals). On the right side we once again have the Quick Button to quickly launch the camera and zoom.

Both devices are relatively similar in size, although the Pro model is somewhat thicker and noticeably heavier. However, the fact that the weight is around 200-220 grams and the thickness is eight millimeters is a more bearable sacrifice if we take into account the batteries of more than 7,000 mAh. All this accompanied by a resistance that leaves no loose end: IP66, IP68 and IP69.

Regarding the screen, both devices incorporate ProXDR AMOLED panels about seven inches with 20:9 format. They share a large part of the technical specifications, namely resolution, maximum brightness and refresh rate, although that of the Pro model is slightly higher. While the OPPO Find

OPPO has only confirmed that the Pro model is the one that has compatibility with HDR technologies, but it is expected that, although it is not expressly mentioned in the information shared with the media, the OPPO Find X9 will also have it. Another note that should be made is that, in the end, the fingerprint sensor under the screen is ultrasonicnot sonic. In short: more speed, more precision and no more needing to light up the sensor area to unlock the phone.

MediaTek returns to the engine

OPPO and MediaTek join hands again to sign the engine of the new OPPO Find X9. On this occasion, the SoC chosen is the MediaTek Dimensity 9500a chip made in three nanometers capable of reaching 4.21 GHz with its most powerful core. However, the most striking thing is the OPPO Trinity Engine, a system co-developed with MediaTek that, in essence, improves performance and the distribution of tasks between the CPU, GPU and DSU to optimize performance.

According to OPPO, this system manages, for example, to reduce battery consumption by 16.1% during video recording by delegating tasks that would normally be done by the ISP to the processor. It also improves performance in high-stress scenarios (for example, when gaming) by up to 37%. To prevent the terminal from heating up, OPPO has implemented a vapor chamber in the Pro that is 33.7% larger than the last generation, so that it covers all critical components.

The system is accompanied by 12 gigabytes of RAM in the OPPO Find X9, a figure that rises to 16 gigabytes in the Pro model. Storage is 512 GB in both cases and it should be noted that the technologies chosen are the fastest available right now: LPPDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. Another interesting aspect, more related to connectivity, is the RF chip developed by the firm whose purpose is, neither more nor less, that the signal is stable even in crowded areas.

However, the most striking thing is undoubtedly the battery. Silicon-carbon is the undisputed protagonist in these terminals, since thanks to this OPPO technology has managed to fit a whopping 7,025 and 7,500 mAh capacity. It is not only a question of capacity, but also durability, since OPPO promises that the batteries will retain 80% of their capacity after five years. Fast charging, for its part, amounts to 80W wired and 50W wireless.

The operating system is Android 16 with ColorOS 16. The system, in addition to improvements in animations and design, brings some interesting new features such as Apple Watch and Mac compatibility through the O+Connect and OHealth apps. AI also plays a leading role and is in charge of the entire photo editing and productivity suite (writing, summaries, etc.).

The 200 megapixel zoom arrives

We thus move on to what, without a doubt, is the most important and interesting section of these OPPO Find X9: the camera. Unlike last year, when OPPO mounted two telephoto lenses on its Find X8 Pro, this time the firm has dropped one, the longest, to mount a 200 megapixel sensor in the Pro model.

Broadly speaking, the Find X9 has a camera similar to the last generation (angle, wide angle and telephoto with three optical magnifications of 50 megapixels). It is the Pro model that has raised the bar thanks to the 200 megapixel periscope sensor. Let’s go in parts.

The main sensor is a 1/1.28″ 50 megapixel LYT-828 with f/1.5 aperture and OIS; the wide angle mounts a 50 megapixel Samsung ISOCELL with f/2.0 aperture; and the periscope is a 200 megapixel ISOCELL HP5 with f/2.1 aperture, OIS u and a size of 1/1.56″ whose distance equivalent focal length is 70 millimeters. This camera, the periscope, the Hasselblad signature.

According to OPPO, the Find X9 Pro supports three times optical zoombut it is capable of taking 50 megapixel photos at six magnifications through direct cropping of the sensor. According to the firm, a lossless zoom of up to 13.2x can be achieved. Stretching it to the maximum we reach 120x magnification and, probably, that is when the AI, under the name Lumo Engine, comes into play.

We do not have two telephotos as in the last generation, but rather a periscope with much higher resolution that, at least on paper, points out ways. The fourth lens is a True Color cameraan eight-channel spectral sensor that analyzes the color of the scene and gives that information to the rest of the sensors to improve color reproduction.

As for video, the Find X9 series is capable of recording in 4K at 60 FPS with Dolby Vision HDR, although the Pro increases it to 120 FPS. In addition, the latter allows recording in LOG, something that will be useful in order to generate more professional content. Speaking of professional content, Master mode makes an appearance again, supporting formats such as JPEG Max and RAW MAX.
