OPPO Find X9 Pro: Simply the best (review)

I don’t think I have seen a more eagerly awaited, coveted phone in recent history than the OPPO Find X9 Pro. Let’s just say that it has serious advantages over the current flagship king, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra.

I mean the OPPO Find X9 Pro has (Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra – S25U in brackets)

• 10-bit, no PWM, OLED screen (8-bit and the worst PWM imaginable)
• Dolby Vision and Ultra HDR 3600 nits (no Dolby Vision 2600 nits)
• 7500 mAh battery and 80W fast charge (5000mAh and 45W)
• Qi2 MagSafe 50W (Qi2 15W)
• True Wi-Fi 7 with MLO (No MLO)
• USB-C 3.2, Gen 1, full Alt-DP 1.4, mountable external storage and more (Alt DP 1.2, no mountable storage)
• 200+50+50+2MP camera (200+50+50+10 but well behind in image quality)
• 50MP selfie (12MP)
• MediaTek Dimensity is on average 6% faster than the S25U Qualcomm SD8 Elite for Galaxy
• 16/512GB UFS 4.1 (12/256/512 UFS 4)
• World phone 4G and 5G Bands (mainly Australian 4G and 5G sub-6 GHz bands)
• 2+5+6 Warranty, OS upgrades, Security patches (2+7+7 but launched with Android 15)

Now, I don’t want to criticise the Samsung S25U because, to be fair, it was launched in February 2025. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra might outperform the OPPO Find X9 Pro. But I remain sceptical as leaks suggest only incremental upgrades. It will feature the same or very similar camera, design cues, 12GB of RAM, a Samsung Exynos 2600 processor, a 5200mAh 45W battery, and a new 8-bit M14 OLED screen that could address PWM. The significant changes are expected in the 2027, S27 (where the EU is mandating removable batteries).

While testing, we reviewed the international feedback. The only notable issues are throttling (the S25U also throttles) and resulting gaming restrictions (yet the OPPO GPU has ray-tracing, which the S25U lacks). Don’t worry, we test everything thoroughly and will highlight any limitations.

We won’t be covering AI features

Ratings

We use the following ratings for many of the items below. CyberShack regards a score between 70 and 80/100 as a fit-for-purpose pass mark. You can click on most images to enlarge them.

• Fail (below expectations), and we will let you know if this affects its use.
• Pass(able) rating that is not as good as it should be.
• Pass (meets expectations).
• Pass ‘+’ rating to show it is good, but does not quite make it to Exceed
• Exceed (surpasses expectations or is the class leader).

How to make the best use of this deep dive review

We test over 70 different aspects and uncover nearly 300 key data points about the device. Overall reviews can reach a few thousand words. So, if you are keen, this is the world’s most comprehensive review!

If you want to see our impressions only, they are listed at the beginning of each table. At the end, you will find CyberShack’s view, competitor analysis, and ratings. Ratings are based on the price bracket and expectations, so a $200 phone may score as well as a $2000 phone—we compare like with like.

First Impression – Eagerly awaited and rightly so

This is classic OPPO build quality (IP66, IP68, IP69) with the very best of components.

• 10-bit, 120Hz, 2772 x 1272, 3600 nits, no PWM, OLED with Gorilla Glass Victus 2
• MediaTek Dimensity 9500 (one of the most powerful chips of 2025)
• 16GB LPPDR5X and 12GB virtual RAM. Storage is 512GB
• Fully implemented USB-C 3.2, Gen 1 for externally mounted SSD drives and ALT DP screen mirror and more.
• True Wi-Fi 7 with MLO and Rx speeds over 5000Mbps
• Huge battery
• New 2+5+6 (warranty/OS upgrade/security patch)

Now to the reasons it won’t be our 2025 phone of the year

• Phone reception is amazingly strong, but more suitable for the city and suburbs only
• Some odd test results that we suspect are easily firmware fixable

The OPPO is so far ahead in flagship specs and price than its competition that it’s a no-brainer.

Screen – Exceed

This is a glorious screen. Ultra bright (up to 3600 nits for Dolby Vision) as well as wonderfully daylight readable. Its 10-bit colour perfectly matches photos. It has no perceptible PWM (headache-inducing pulse width modulation – Samsung is the worst.

If you compare this to a Samsung S25U, Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, or Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (all using Samsung screens), you will be immediately sold on the screen alone.

Summary: OPPO’s ProXDR (Professional Extreme Dynamic Range) means I have not seen a better flagship screen.

Comment	This is everything a flagship screen should be.  Samsung 8-bit screens are not colour accurate for video and photo preview, and never support Dolby Vision.

Processor – Pass+

It is one of the fastest processors of 2025, even beating the Qualcomm SD8 Elite for Galaxy. But this much power means little to Joe and Jane Average and their daily tasks. It is just like driving a V12 on suburban streets.

In reality, the processor ‘Exceeds’ in almost every area. We deducted points because some of the test apps would not run or gave meaningless results. Likely, the apps are not aware of the processor’s new features.

Modem	MediaTek DSDA (Dual SIM, Dual Active for both SIMs at once).

AI Tests

We can’t be sure about its AI ‘chops’ except that it Antutu (not AI) is above the S25U. It has 16GB RAM and a further 12GB virtual RAM, so it has tonnes of memory. I can’t see any issues at all running the entire Google Gemini AI suite. (Find X8 Pro in brackets)

Other tests

Despite supporting ray-tracing (really only used for games) and having good OpenCL and Vulcan results, it’s not a gamer’s device due to throttling.

Storage access is fast, and it supports external mountable SSDs, which is good for videographers.

Comment	A fast SoC that beats the Snapdragon SD8 Elite Gen 5. Excellent USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 allows for external mountable drives, perfect for videographers and Vloggers. Also supports ALT DP 1.2 Audio/video/data/streaming/charging.

Throttling – Fail

It has one main issue that will affect power users – it throttles, losing 45% of power after one minute.  This is disappointing because OPPO are usually very good at Thermal management, and the Find X8 Pro only throttles 24% so it is more powerful when throttled.

To be clear, Throttling is not an issue for typical users. (OPPO Find X8 Pro in brackets)

Throttle test
Max GIPS	467,373 (400,759)
Average GIPS	287,901 (335,034)
Minimum GIPS	240,229 (292,554)
% Throttle	45% (24%)
CPU Temp	50°
Comment	40° beside the camera. Thermal management is not good with throttling over 50% after just a minute. While videographers won’t be affected, gamers will. OPPO will address this in firmware.

Comms – Exceed

This Wi-Fi 7 device understands true MLO and reaches its maximum Rx/Tx speed of 5800Mbps. The S25U and Google Pixel 10 only achieve 2400Mbps.

GPS is interesting. Where dual band was considered a luxury, this has nine bands and covers every known GPS with lightning-fast route recalculations and high <1m accuracy.

Also, a reminder that the USB-C port supports external mountable drives and full ALT DP audio/video/HID/data and charge.  It can mirror your display and Android 16 Desktop over USB-C. If the monitor has a touch screen, keyboard and trackpad, these all work. Neither S25U nor Google Pixel supports this.

Special mention to OPPO’s quick camera button (right side capacitive slide to open the camera and take a photo).

4/5G – City and Suburbs

While it has excellent antenna strength (25 pW), it only picks up two towers on 4G and no usable 5G or indoors. It’s not for rural or regional use.

It has DSDA – dual SIM active, which is perfect for travellers who want to use an eSIM and a home SIM at the same time.

Battery – Pass+

It earns ‘Exceed’ for the massive 7500mAh Si/C technology battery and 80W SUPERVOOC charger inbox. But it’s a big phone, and typical users will get about 24 hours, and power users will get 5-10 hours.

mAh	7500mAh/28.13Wh Silicon-Carbon Si/C anode improves the thermal stability of the anode, increasing safety by reducing the risks of overheating or thermal runaway. Full recharge cycles 1000+ before 80% retention.

Comment	This new Si/C battery offers 1000+ full charge cycles (at least 80% capacity remaining) and greater safety than Lithium-ion.

Sound hardware – Pass+

It decodes Dolby Atmos (metadata downmixed to 2.0 speakers and ‘spatialised’ for headphones). Great range of Bluetooth codecs.

Build – Exceed

OPPO has always had extremely high build standards. This is IP66, IP68 and IP68 rated and during the teardown declared one of the most repairable handsets yet.

Add to that excellent local support and service. OPPO earns major brownie points for including a charger inbox.

OS – Exceed

While OPPO’s 2+5+6 has not quite matched Samsung’s 2+7+7 warranty/OS upgrade/security patches, it has exceeded all expectations for prompt availability, having the December patch available a few days after Google’s release.

AI Mind Space is a standout feature. Swipe up with three fingers or press the new Snap Key, and your screen is instantly saved and intelligently organised. Articles, schedules, photos, and messages are now grouped automatically.​

Point your camera at a concert poster. AI Mind Space scans it through the viewfinder (no photo needed), detects the event details, and suggests adding them to your calendar with one tap.

OPPO partnered with Google to connect AI Mind Space with Gemini, allowing the AI assistant to pull together content from your Mind Space and help you take action. Planning a trip? Save articles and notes to Mind Space, then ask Gemini to create a detailed, personalised itinerary.​

Other AI features:

• AI Portrait Glow: Improves poorly lit portraits with advanced skin-tone optimisation for natural, balanced lighting​
• AI Eraser: Removes unwanted objects from photos with one click​
• AI Recorder: Transcribes audio in real-time, recognises different speakers, and generates relevant titles and summaries automatically​
• AI Writer: System-level writing assistant integrated into Notes, Instagram, Facebook, and other apps. Helps polish emails, generate captions, create spreadsheets, and mind maps​

Comment	OPPO has good security and private folders

We wanted to point out some setup options that you need to be aware of. Each one enables further features that can impact privacy as they allow the phone (OPPO) to gather information. For example, allowing Global Search means it can search everything on your phone. Smart Decision Making allows access to the calendar and more. These are OPPO services, and if you are using Google Gemini (which you have already agreed to), you don’t necessarily need any of the below.

Similarly, you don’t need an OPPO account – Google is all that is necessary. We are not suggesting that some of the OPPO AI features are not useful but you should be aware of what you data you may be giving away.

OPPO Find X9 Pro rear camera – Exceed

This is a 50+50+200+2 (wide, ultrawide, telephoto and monochrome) camera.

DXOMARK has not formally rated it, but the Find X8 Pro was 157 in 2025, and this camera is a significant upgrade. For reference:

• 168: Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max
• 160: Google Pixel 10 Pro XL
• 157: Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max
• 157: OPPO Find X8 Pro
• 151 Samsung S25 Ultra

DXOMARK is testing, and its preliminary results are ‘OPPO delivered brighter and more detailed subject representation, making their results appealing to those who prefer a clear and defined look’. It does not include Samsung S25U in its top five cameraphones.

OPPO has a Hasselblad partnership, which adds its Master Camera System, authentic colour science, and 135mm portrait emulation. In addition, it supports K 120fps on main/telephoto lenses, Dolby Vision, and LOG recording (Samsung does not).

It also has new LUMO image processing, using the ISP, NPU, GPU, and CPU. It has exceptional AI image manipulation abilities.

A new feature is that photos can now be taken automatically in different resolutions, such as 12 MP, 26 MP and 50 MP – depending on the lighting conditions and temperature.

Summary: The combination of the 10-bit screen (matches images – Samsung does not), MediaTek Dimensity 9500, and four rear camera sensors gives it exceptional colour and flexibility.

Photo test

CyberShack tests for Joe and Jane Average – this camera is so far ahead of point-and-shoot that it is wasted on them. There are so many app options and pro modes that can only improve these results even further.

CyberShack’s view: OPPO lifts the premium flagship bar again, setting standards that others do not try to beat

First, let me say that I have the Samsung S25 Ultra, and it’s a fantastic flagship for Samsung lovers.

The S25 Ultra has five things over the OPPO.

• The S-Pen, if you use it (OPPO’s developer options indicate Stylus support is coming)
• Superior phone reception for regional and rural use (this is strong city and suburb use)
• 7+7 OS upgrades and security patches (5+6)
• DeX (Desktop Experience), although it does not have a full USB-C implementation like OPPO.
• Its trade-in value is artificially higher as, like Apple, it operates the program (OPPO is looking at this).

However, given that OPPO’s Find X series has consistently provided higher specs, better photography, faster charging and more tech over the years, I can’t see the 2026 S26 Ultra being anything but playing catch-up. Let’s hope I am wrong.

Side by side, OPPO blows it out of the water. In over 70 tests, it easily beat the S25U for speed, outright performance, battery life and more.

The only caveat – city and suburbs reception only.

OPPO Find X9 Pro Ratings

We rate this as a premium flagship device.

Ratings
Features	95
	Oppo has subtly improved on the excellent Find X8 Pro with a larger battery, better camera, next-gen SoC, while keeping the best bits – the OPPO ColorOS experience and OPPO Smarts.
Value	85
	OPPO Find X8 Pro was $1799, and it’s a huge jump to $2299. Compared to the Samsung S25 Ultra at $2049, it has lost a little price gloss. But it offers so much more.
Performance	85
	Gone is the ostentatious camera circle, and in its place is a more refined Apple-esque design.
Ease of Use	90
	2+5+6 Warranty/OS/updates and Android 16
Design	90
	Gone is the ostentatious camera circle, and in its place is a more refined Applesque design.
Rating out of 10	89
Final comment	OPPO has made a serious Samsung S25 Ultra challenger with vastly better screen, camera, full USB-C implementation and a huge battery. It is for city and suburbs receptions only. It is what flagship buyers (who don’t need an S-Pen) should consider.
