Oppo has launched the Find X9 Series globally, with the Find X9 Pro confirmed for the UAE. The phone leans hard on camera hardware co-engineered with Hasselblad, a large 7,500mAh battery, and MediaTek’s latest 3 nm silicon. ColorOS 16 adds new AI tools and tighter cross-device tricks. In the UAE, the Find X9 Pro ships in a 16GB/512GB trim for AED 4,499, with pre-orders from 7 November and general sales from 14 November.

For background on Oppo’s broader 2025 strategy, here’s our earlier note on the Find X9 Series global launch

Cameras: Hasselblad hardware meets Oppo’s new engine

The Find X9 Pro focuses on cleaner detail, better dynamic range, and a serious zoom.

• 1/1.28-inch Sony LYT 828 “Ultra XDR” main camera with real-time triple exposure.
• 200MP 3x telephoto on a large 1/1.56-inch sensor, f/2.1, 10 cm macro.
• Active Optical Alignment to match lens and sensor; Oppo says ~15% higher effective resolution.
• LUMO Image Engine with parallel computing to cut CPU, memory, and power load.
• 50MP default daylight shots; 25MP/12MP modes kick in for low light.
• 4K Motion Photos; grab any frame as a high-res still.
• Concert-leaning extras: lossless zoom up to 13.2x via sensor crop; Super Zoom up to 120x; Stage Mode tuning.
• Video: 4K 120 fps Dolby Vision HDR on main and telephoto; LOG recording with ACES.

In practice, the spec sheet points to stronger telephoto shots and more stable video. The 200MP sensor lets Oppo crop for mid-range “optical-like” zoom before quality drops. The LUMO engine rebuilds the imaging pipeline; Oppo claims lower resource use while improving colour and HDR handling. Pro users get LOG with ACES for cleaner grades.

Battery and charging: big number, slimmer body

Oppo fits a 7,500mAh silicon-carbon pack into a 7.99 mm frame.

• Third-gen silicon-carbon chemistry with 15% silicon content.
• Claimed >80% capacity retention after five years of typical use.
• 80W SUPERVOOC wired, 50W AIRVOOC wireless, 10W reverse wireless.

The capacity is the headline. A larger cell, combined with efficiency gains elsewhere, should mean fewer charging anxieties. Fast wired and wireless options cover top-ups, and reverse wireless is there for earbuds. Oppo’s longevity claim is tied to its silicon-carbon mix and spherical carbon material.

Display and build: bright, flat, and very splash-proof

A flat panel with thin borders and high brightness, wrapped in a durable shell.

• Flat display with 1.15 mm symmetrical bezels.
• 120 Hz refresh rate; peak 3,600 nits outdoors; down to 1 nit at night.
• High-frequency PWM dimming for eye comfort.
• IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings.
• Colours: Silk White and Titanium Charcoal; matte aluminium frame, anti-smudge glass back.

The screen should be easy to read in Dubai sun thanks to the 3,600-nit peak. The IP ratings are notable: IP66 for high-pressure jets, IP68 for submersion, and IP69 for high-temperature spray. That stack is rare in mainstream flagships. If you care about ruggedness in a non-rugged phone, this is worth a look. We’ve seen Oppo push IP69 into more affordable phones too, like the A6 Pro 5G.

Performance: Dimensity 9500 with Oppo’s scheduling tweaks

MediaTek’s newest 3 nm chip powers the show, with Oppo’s own resource control on top.

• Dimensity 9500 on TSMC 3 nm; all-big-core CPU.
• Oppo cites up to 32% higher CPU performance with 55% lower peak power draw.
• Arm G1-Ultra GPU: +33% graphics performance, +42% power efficiency (claimed).
• MediaTek NPU 990: over 2x AI performance with 56% better efficiency (claimed).
• Large custom vapour chambers to sustain clocks.
• Oppo Trinity Engine: Dynamic Frame Sync, a unified power model, and Sensor Offload; OPPO cites 16.1% less power in 4K/60 HDR recording.

On paper, it’s a strong match for long gaming sessions and camera workloads. Oppo’s Trinity Engine aims to smooth frame pacing and predict power draw, which should help with heat and battery life when recording or gaming.

ColorOS 16: lighter animations and handy AI tools

The software upgrade brings UI polish, faster rendering, and cross-device features.

• Seamless Animation built on Luminous Rendering for snappier UI motion.
• AI Mind Space with a hardware Snap Key for quick captures of on-screen items.
• AI Recorder with auto titles and summaries.
• AI Portrait Glow for low-light portraits.
• O+ Connect now on Mac and Windows; remote PC control from the phone.
• Screen Mirroring for up to five apps, usable via mouse and keyboard.

ColorOS 16 focuses on everyday speed and convenience. The new rendering engine should reduce visual jank, and O+ Connect expands the desktop link. The multi-app mirroring will appeal to multitaskers who live between phone and laptop.
