The Find X9 series from OPPO signifies OPPO’s audacious introduction into the flagship space of 2025, with battery life, camera quality, and design / performance as its three tiers. The Find X9 and the larger Find X9 Pro are now available on store shelves in China, and have a global launch planned (currently around Oct 28 in Barcelona)
OPPO is becoming a worthy player in the global premium smartphone market.
For global buyers, this is important: many flagship smartphone choices lately have ultra-slim designs prioritised over device longevity; OPPO flips the conversation by providing large, powerful battery packs of over 3000 mAh while nested with a Hasselblad-tuned camera setup, the newest MediaTek chip and premium build. It’s a “no-compromise” option that assumes: what if you could have (near) premium specs that deliver good longevity.
Below is the full writeup, a specifications table, pricing estimates for global market, and a review of the device from the perspective of the global market.

Global Pricing
Although the phones are already on sale in China, global pricing is still being finalised. Chinese domestic pricing:
- Find X9 (12 GB/256 GB) → CNY 4,400 (~US $620)
- Find X9 Pro (base) → CNY 5,300 (~US $745)
For global markets (Europe, South Asia, the Middle East etc), we can estimate a modest premium over China pricing (due to taxes, import duties, localisation). Rough estimate:
- Find X9 base global: ~US $650-700 / €700-750
- Find X9 Pro base global: ~US $800-900 / €850-950
If you are in markets like Pakistan, India or SE Asia, local pricing may differ due to import/taxes, but this gives a ballpark. Wait for official local pricing before pre-ordering.
Global Review & Perspective
From a global buyer’s standpoint (whether in Europe, Middle East, South Asia, Africa or North America), here’s how the Find X9 series stacks up — the strengths, potential compromises and who should buy.
Battery Life & Charging
A ~7,000-mAh+ battery in a flagship is rare; many premium phones focus on thinness rather than endurance. OPPO gives you the best of both: flagship hardware and longevity. For power-users (gaming, streaming, travel) this is a big win.
Performance
With the Dimensity 9500 chipset, performance is flagship-level, and efficiency gains mean less thermal/ battery drain. Good for future-proofing.
Camera System
The Hasselblad partnership remains strong, especially with the Pro model’s 200 MP periscope lens. For photography enthusiasts, this brings serious imaging chops.
Value-for-Money
When compared to other global flagships (Samsung S/Ultra series, Google Pixel Pro series, etc), offering large battery + premium specs at the estimated pricing might undercut competition.
Global Readiness
The mention of a global launch and likely inclusion of Google services, wide network/band support makes the series realistic for global buyers.
Potential Trade-offs or Questions
Weight & Thickness
While 7.99 mm thickness for the standard is very good given the battery, heavy batteries often mean more weight. Comfort and ergonomics may depend on your hand size and usage habits.
Availability & Service
OPPO’s global footprint is strong, but depending on your country, after-sales service, repair parts, warranty and update policy can vary. Always check local support especially for imported models.
Camera Real-World vs Specs
High MP counts and telephoto modules are promising, but real-world performance (low-light, video, zoom clarity) will ultimately decide. Early reviews are required before full verdict.
Charging Ecosystem
While wired 80-90 W and wireless 50 W are excellent, check if your region has the correct charger included, and what accessories are needed. Also check battery longevity and thermal behaviour.
Network Bands & Software
Global variant may differ in network band support (5G, mmWave etc) and software (ColourOS region version). If buying imported, verify compatibility with your carrier.
Who Should Buy It?
- You are a global traveller or remote-worker who needs a flagship phone that lasts longer between charges.
- You prioritise camera versatility and photography, especially with telephoto zoom and Hasselblad tuning.
- You want flagship specs (screen, chipset, storage) but also value-conscious, i.e., you don’t want to pay ultra-premium pricing.
- You live in a region where OPPO has good service/after-sales (so you are comfortable with brand support).
Who Might Wait or Consider Alternatives?
- You prefer ultra-light or ultra-thin phones at any cost (then maybe a slimmer flagship wins).
- You rely heavily on ultra-wide global network features (e.g., mmWave 5G in US) and want a phone optimised for your local carrier — wait for full global variant details.
- You are in a region where OPPO’s presence is weak — in which case service/support might be a concern.
Final Statement
The OPPO Find X9 series represents one of the most balanced flagship offers globally for 2025: top-tier performance, standout battery life, premium cameras — and all at a competitive price bracket. For global markets, this could be a serious value proposition.
If I had to summarize: “Buy it if you want flagship performance plus real-world endurance; but wait or verify if you demand the absolute slimmest design or widest local network support.”
Given the current details, I’d recommend keeping an eye on it and strongly considering it once local pricing and variant details are confirmed in your country.
