OPPO is rolling out its latest flagship smartphones — the Find X9 and X9 Pro — to a global audience this October. After months of hype in China, the Barcelona launch will mark the phones’ worldwide debut. The headline features? A monster 200MP Hasselblad telephoto lens, the powerful Dimensity 9500 chip, and the debut of ColorOS 16.

Hasselblad Master Camera System

OPPO’s partnership with Hasselblad continues to be the main attraction. The Find X9 Series introduces the LUMO Image Engine, its in-house computational photography platform, for better colour accuracy and tone mapping.

Highlights:

  • 200MP Hasselblad telephoto on the Find X9 Pro
  • Co-developed sensor calibration and optical design
  • 4K 120fps video recording in Dolby Vision
  • LOG recording with ACES workflow support
  • Features like AI Sound Focus and Stage Mode

The Hasselblad collaboration isn’t just branding. OPPO’s imaging software and Hasselblad’s optical tuning combine for serious photographic depth, especially in low-light and telephoto shots. For videographers, the Find X9 Series can shoot professional-grade footage ready for editing suites.

Performance and Battery Life

Under the hood, both devices are among the first to run on the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset. The new 3nm platform promises better performance and efficiency across the board.

Specs worth noting:

  • Dimensity 9500 with advanced AI acceleration
  • 7025mAh (Find X9) and 7500mAh (Find X9 Pro) batteries
  • Third-generation silicon-carbon tech
  • Up to two days of battery life

The large batteries and chip efficiency make the Find X9 Series reliable for heavy users. Whether you’re shooting 4K video or gaming, OPPO claims heat and power management have been fine-tuned for balance.

ColorOS 16: Smoother, Smarter, and Sharper

ColorOS 16 arrives with the Find X9 Series, focusing on speed, animation, and AI-powered creativity.

New features:

  • Seamless Animation powered by the Luminous Rendering Engine
  • Trinity Engine for faster app switching and chip-level optimisation
  • Flux Home Screen with dynamic icons and folder resizing
  • AI tools: AI Portrait Glow, AI Eraser, AI Unblur, and AI Reflection Remover
  • O+ Connect now supports Mac and Windows

ColorOS 16 feels like OPPO’s cleanest and most thoughtful version yet. Animations glide smoothly, AI features simplify photo editing, and O+ Connect finally bridges Android with desktop ecosystems more gracefully

Creativity Meets Culture

In collaboration with Discovery Channel, OPPO’s “Every Culture Finds Its Stage” campaign continues with a new focus on live cultural performances.

Key campaign notes:

  • Covers 15 countries
  • Showcases festivals and traditions
  • Encourages users to shoot cultural stories with the Hasselblad Telephoto

The campaign isn’t just marketing fluff. It’s a genuine attempt to tie technology with creativity and community. The Find X9’s imaging system helps capture that in cinematic clarity.
