Oppo Find X9 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Oppo Find X9 Pro – the right path to improvement

Of course, the Chinese company Oppo can't end the year without releasing a full-fledged flagship. And it's gratifying to know that the new model not only retains all the competitive advantages of its predecessors but actually improves on them. Let's find out what makes today's review subject so appealing.

The device's appearance is beautiful, understated, and at the same time quite distinctive. Not only are the attractive colors of the tempered glass back panels memorable, but also the stylish, unusual camera module and the rounded corners of the candybar. It's hard not to notice the metal frame and the precise under-display fingerprint sensor. It also boasts IP69 water resistance. The 6.78-inch AMOLED panel is only slightly inferior to the best competitors in terms of image clarity due to its 2772x1272 pixel resolution, but it excels in peak brightness (over 4500 nits), refresh rate (120 Hz), and natural color reproduction. The touch panel is also extremely responsive, with minimal PWM flickering.

The technical specifications include a top-of-the-line MediaTek Dimenisty 9500 CPU, 12/16 GB of RAM, and a Mali G1-Ultra MC12 GPU. This combination offers one of the best performance-to-power efficiency ratios available today. The chipset achieved a phenomenal 3.1 million points in AnTuTu, close to a record. Even seasoned gamers won't complain about its gaming performance, as Fornite, Honkai: Star Rail, Diablo Immortal, and other resource-intensive titles run at around 120 frames per second, with a fairly stable frame rate. The device's heating is far from critical, and the cooling system is effective. The 7500 mAh battery easily lasts for about two days of active mobile use. You can choose between wired 80W charging and a wireless 50W option. Internal storage options include 256/512/1024 GB of UFS 4.1 storage.

In terms of photography capabilities, the device is close to camera phones. The updated 50MP Sony LYT-828 main camera and 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HP5 periscope telephoto lens (3x optical zoom) feature hybrid image stabilization, guaranteeing even more impressive detail in evening photos and videos up to 8K resolution. The 50MP wide-angle lens is somewhat simpler, but is also useful for a variety of shooting scenarios, and a ToF sensor also supports all of these cameras. Dual speakers deliver rich, immersive sound, and other highlights include NFC contactless payments and 5G support. All in all, this is a stunning device in every way.
