There’s always something exciting about unboxing a brand-new phone, and the Find X9 doesn’t disappoint. The packaging feels premium, the layout is clean, and the unboxing experience is smooth and intentional. Everything fits like a precision puzzle. Product design at its best.
In hand, the phone immediately stands out. The slimmer width and ergonomic shape make it a joy to hold—especially for long periods scrolling through social or binge-watching reels. Unlike some chunkier flagships, the Find X9 is snug, sleek, and won’t give your wrist a workout.
Triple threat with a touch of Hasselblad. That brushed silver finish? Clean, classy, and dangerously photogenic.
The screen? Stunning. Bright, sharp, and ultra-responsive. Combined with OPPO’s signature smooth ColorOS 16 UI, the whole experience feels fluid right out the box. And in an era where phones are creeping past £1,200, it’s refreshing to see the Find X9 deliver premium polish for just £899. It’s flagship feel, without flagship debt.
Let’s talk camera—because OPPO just gets it. The Find X9 handles photo and video like a pro, and one of our favourite features is the seamless flip between front and rear cameras while recording. At a festival, we captured the stage, flipped to selfie mode to catch our dance moves, and it was buttery smooth. No glitch. No gap. Just fluid switching in real time. We’ve used phones at almost double the price that can’t do this without choking.
Slimmer than your excuses—Find X9’s flat-edge profile slips into your hand like it was made for it. Because, well, it kinda was.
The Find X9’s camera system—co-engineered with Hasselblad—delivers that unmistakably rich colour science and pro-level clarity, even when you’re flipping from stage to selfie mid-recording.
Battery-wise? Still going strong three days in without needing a top-up. Sure, it’s early days, but that’s a great sign—especially for heavy users.
Everyday apps—TikTok, Instagram, banking, email—all run like a dream. The phone handles multitasking effortlessly, and the sound quality deserves a shout too. The speakers pump out crisp, well-balanced audio, ideal for music or streaming without needing to grab your earbuds.
Sure, we could talk about chip-level dynamic frame sync, or the 90%+ accuracy in power consumption prediction from OPPO’s Trinity Engine. We could mention the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, or the fact it’s built on a 3nm process. But really, none of that matters until you’re using it. And once you are, the speed, fluidity and cool-headed power management speak for themselves.
We also picked up the stainless Luxury case from OPPO’s site, which adds protection and gives the phone a sleek, standout finish. Bonus: no fingerprint smudges.
Looks good from every angle. The stainless steel vibes on this Find X9 finish is proper slick’ with a side of ‘don’t drop me.
Verdict: Is It Worth It?
Absolutely. At £899, the OPPO Find X9 is a serious contender in a market flooded with overpriced flagships. You’re getting a powerhouse camera, a slick UI, impressive battery life, and premium design—all without needing to remortgage your flat. Add in the Hasselblad-tuned camera setup and you’ve got a phone that doesn’t just look premium—it captures content like a flagship should. It’s ideal for content creators and everyday users alike. Sure, there’s no charger in the box (regulatory rules), but chances are you’ve already got one at home. Pound for pound, this is one of the best-value premium phones you can buy right now—and honestly, it just works.
