The OPPO Find X9 arrives as one of the refined and intelligently designed smartphones of 2025. It’s not merely another premium device boasting impressive specs, instead it’s a carefully engineered experience that highlights OPPO’s pursuit of beauty, performance, and endurance. From its striking design and exceptional durability to its pro-grade camera system and cutting-edge performance, the Find X9 try it’s best to balance in every sense, which we will also find out in this review.

Design: Slim, Stylish, and Tough
At just 7.99 mm thick, the OPPO Find X9 is a masterclass in minimalist design. Its flat edges, rounded corners, and smooth matte finish combine to create a sleek profile that feels comfortable and natural in the hand. The slim chassis and perfectly weighted build make it easy to handle despite housing one of the largest batteries ever seen in a phone of this size.
OPPO has placed the rear camera module flush within the frame, producing a clean and symmetrical layout that looks elegant while improving grip and balance. It’s engineered to ensure your fingers naturally rest away from the lenses, so you’ll never smudge your camera glass when taking photos or playing games in landscape mode.
A clever new addition is the Snap Key, a customizable side button that lets users assign shortcuts to everyday functions such as launching the camera, recording voice notes, toggling silent mode, or activating AI Mind Space in ColorOS 16. It’s a subtle feature that quietly enhances usability, giving the phone a more personal and efficient feel.
Durability is another highlight. The Find X9 holds IP66, IP68, and IP69 certifications, a rare trio that guarantees protection against dust, water immersion, and even high-pressure jets. That means it’s perfectly safe to use during a downpour or near the pool without worry.
Available in Titanium Grey, Space Black, and Velvet Red, each finish has its own character: cool and metallic, classic and understated, or rich and velvety. Whichever colour you choose, it’s clear OPPO aimed for sophistication rather than flashiness.
Display: Compact Yet Immersive
The 6.59-inch AMOLED display strikes an impressive balance between portability and immersion. The ultra-slim 1.15 mm symmetrical bezels creates a near borderless appearance that enhances immersion whether you’re watching movies, browsing social media, or gaming.
The screen supports 3600 nits peak brightness, 10-bit color depth, and 100% DCI-P3 coverage, delivering vivid, lifelike visuals. With certifications for HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HDR Vivid, the Find X9 easily competes with the best displays in the industry, offering a dynamic range that makes everything from streaming to photography editing look stunning.
For comfort, OPPO includes 3840 Hz PWM dimming, which dramatically reduces screen flicker at low brightness levels. The display can dim to as low as 1 nit, making late-night viewing gentle on the eyes. TÜV Rheinland Intelligent Eye Care 5.0 certification adds peace of mind for those who spend hours reading or scrolling.
Unlocking the phone is smoother than ever thanks to the 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, which is 35% faster and 33% more reliable than older optical sensors. It works perfectly even with wet or oily fingers and doesn’t flash bright light in the dark.
Camera: Pro-Level Photography with Hasselblad Precision
OPPO’s collaboration with Hasselblad continues to evolve beautifully on the Find X9. The Hasselblad Master Camera System includes a 50 MP Sony LYT-808 main sensor, a 50 MP ultra-wide ISOCELL JN5, a 50 MP telephoto Sony LYT-600 periscope lens, and a dedicated True Color Camera that ensures accurate color reproduction across all lighting conditions.
The secret weapon is OPPO’s new LUMO Image Engine, which uses AI-powered processing and parallel computing to boost clarity, reduce noise, and deliver true-to-life tones. It coordinates the CPU, GPU, NPU, and ISP simultaneously, cutting processing time and power consumption by up to 50%.
The True Color Camera brings an added layer of realism by reading ambient color temperature and balancing hues throughout the frame. The result: colors that look natural yet not oversaturated even in complex lighting like city neon or candlelight interiors.
Uniquely, the Find X9 captures 50 MP photos by default across all cameras, giving users 8K-level detail without needing to switch to Pro mode. The system automatically adjusts resolution depending on lighting and temperature to maintain clarity and efficiency. For full control, photographers can enable Hasselblad Hi-Res Mode for RAW MAX captures and manual settings.
Videographers will love the 4K 120 fps Dolby Vision HDR recording, complete with LOG format and ACES certification for professional-grade post-production. The 4K Motion Photo mode adds a cinematic twist, recording a 4K clip alongside every still image, so you can later extract high-resolution frames.
Other creative modes such as XPAN panorama, Hasselblad Portrait, and film simulation filters give users ample tools to experiment with aesthetics. There’s even a nostalgic CCD flash effect that replicates the crisp, direct-flash look of early 2000s digital cameras.
Performance: Intelligent Power and Stability
Under the hood, the OPPO Find X9 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor, built on a 3 nm process. It brings flagship-class performance with up to 32% faster CPU and 33% faster GPU speeds compared to the previous generation. The chip’s efficiency ensures top performance without excessive heat or battery drain.
Paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, multitasking and file transfers are seamless. OPPO’s Trinity Engine further refines performance by managing CPU-GPU coordination and power allocation dynamically. It ensures sustained speed during gaming, video editing, or heavy multitasking without performance dips.
Thermal performance is handled by an upgraded 32,000 mm² vapor chamber cooling system with an ultra-fine 0.02 mm mesh design for faster heat dissipation. This keeps temperatures steady during long gaming sessions or 4K recordings.
Connectivity is equally advanced thanks to AI LinkBoost, OPPO’s proprietary RF optimization system. Combined with a 360-degree antenna setup, it maintains stronger connections in areas where signal strength usually drops such as elevators, parking basements, and high-speed travel.
Benchmark Results
Battery and Charging: Big Capacity, Smarter Longevity
Perhaps the most impressive feat of the Find X9 is its very generous 7025 mAh silicon-carbon battery, despite housed within its slim body. It offers up to two days of typical use, easily outlasting many competing flagships. OPPO’s third-generation battery technology ensures 80% capacity retention after five years, providing incredible long-term reliability.
Charging options are equally versatile. 80 W SUPERVOOC wired charging delivers hours of power within minutes, while 50 W AIRVOOC wireless and 10 W reverse wireless charging add flexibility for accessories. The Find X9 even supports 55 W USB PD charging with third-party adapters, ensuring convenience wherever you are.
Verdict: Refined Power in Every Detail
The OPPO Find X9 isn’t just a powerful smartphone but it’s a statement of refined engineering. It perfectly blends performance, design, endurance, and imaging excellence into one cohesive experience. Every aspect feels intentional, from the ultra-bright, eye-safe display to the Hasselblad-tuned cameras and remarkably durable build.
Rather than chasing extremes, OPPO focused on harmony and reliability qualities that make a smartphone enjoyable beyond its spec sheet. For those who value premium craftsmanship, balanced performance, and next-level imaging, the Find X9 stands as one of the most complete flagships of 2025.
