A POCKET STUDIO WITH HASSELBLAD FLAIR

As someone who's been chasing the perfect smartphone camera for years, I've watched the OPPO Find series evolve from sleek flagships into bona fide camera beasts. The Find X5 Pro marked a powerful shift, merging Hasselblad expertise with computational power for professional-quality photos. Now, in 2025, the OPPO Find X9 aims for DSLR-quality imaging in a compact design, boasting a triple-camera setup for natural bokeh, dynamic range, and AI enhancements. Is it truly the best camera smartphone, or just hype? Let's find out.

BUILD & DESIGN

Unboxing the OPPO Find X9 Pro feels like holding a piece of modern art. Its sleek, robust design, featuring an aluminium frame and Gorilla Glass 7i, offers comfort with a manageable weight of 203 grams. The IP68/IP69 rating allows for worry-free usage, even during monsoon adventures in Goa. The 6.59-inch LTPO AMOLED display is stunning, nearly bezel-less, and supports a buttery-smooth 144Hz refresh rate. While its design shares similarities with the OnePlus 15, likely due to both brands being under the same BBK umbrella, the Find X9 feels more camera-focused.
