The OPPO Find X9 Ultra Is the Flagship Phone Built Around the Most Interesting Camera in the Room

Most flagship phones now arrive with the same familiar promise: faster, brighter, smarter, thinner, more powerful, and somehow always “professional” at everything. Before long, the category blurs into one glossy slab of titanium, glass, marketing language, and camera bumps large enough to demand their own zip code. The OPPO Find X9 Ultra cuts through that sameness almost immediately. It is a flagship smartphone, certainly, with a sharp display, a current-generation Qualcomm chip, a very large battery, quick charging, generous storage, and the polished hardware you expect at this level. But none of that is the real headline.

OPPO Find N6 vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: The Foldable Fight Samsung Might Not Win

If you’re in the market for a book-style foldable, and you live in the United States, your best option is arguably the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. If you live overseas, however, you have many more options. One of the best options is the OPPO Find N6 that came out in the spring of 2026. Both of these phones offer an insanely thin design, excellent cameras, and fun software tricks that can make for a great phone experience. If you’re lucky enough to live somewhere where both are readily available, this is a difficult choice.

OPPO Reno 15 Pro Review: Beautiful Design, Big Battery, and a “Pro” Camera That Doesn’t Quite Deliver

As a U.S.-focused phone reviewer, it’s nice every now and then to take the blinders off and see what’s available in the rest of the world. While OPPO kinda-sorta has a presence here in the United States via OnePlus, I wanted to take a look at OPPO’s offerings directly. The company sent me the OPPO Reno 15 Pro, the Reno 15, and the OPPO Watch S. The Reno 15 Pro is obviously the headliner here, but I appreciated the chance to take a look at the other devices as well.

OPPO Find X9 and X9 Pro Debut Globally with 200MP Hasselblad Camera, Massive 7500mAh Battery, and Smarter ColorOS 16

The OPPO Find X9 and Find X9 Pro are here, and they’re clearly meant to prove something. These aren’t phones you pick because you’re bored with your current one; they’re the kind you buy when you want to feel like your phone could probably run a small planet. With a 200-megapixel Hasselblad telephoto camera, a 7,000-plus mAh battery, and a design that looks like it belongs on a coffee table book cover, the Find X9 Series isn’t subtle about its intentions.

OPPO Brings the AI Heat to MWC 2025, Doubling Down on Smarter Smartphones

Mobile World Congress is always packed with big announcements, but OPPO just set the bar higher with its AI Tech Summit. The company rolled out its updated artificial intelligence strategy, promising an AI-packed future that isn’t just about fancy buzzwords—it’s about making AI work for you in ways that actually matter. With a bold plan to get generative AI into the hands of 100 million people by the end of 2025 (doubling last year’s target of 50 million), OPPO isn’t just dipping its toes in AI; it’s diving in headfirst.

OPPO Find N5: The Slim, Water-Resistant, Foldable Smartphone That Redefines Everyday Usability

Foldable smartphones are real-world transformers—you get the portability of a regular slab phone for everyday tasks, but when you need more screen real estate, the tablet-sized inner display is right there. In theory, foldables are the best of both worlds. In practice, many struggle with bulk, awkwardly sized front displays, and durability concerns. I have considered the OnePlus Open the best foldable for the US market since 2023. With OnePlus skipping a new foldable release again this year, it only makes sense to turn to its sibling company, OPPO, and its latest foldable, the OPPO Find N5.

OPPO Find X8 Pro Review: The Perfect Fusion of Android Power and iPhone Innovation—If You Live Outside of the U.S.

OPPO, as a Chinese smartphone maker that’s a subsidiary of BBK, has something of a “best of both worlds” philosophy going for it. As a Chinese phone maker, the company tends to lean toward making its phone interface mirror the iPhone as much as possible. As a member of BBK, you’ll see some parallels between its phones and OnePlus phones. The two share a parts bin with each other. Often, the latest OPPO phone is a preview of things to come from its sister company here in the States. That’s what makes the OPPO Find X8 Pro very compelling.

OPPO’s Bold Plan: Making Generative AI-Powered Phones Accessible to 50 Million Users in 2024

AI is everywhere, but it is particularly useful in smartphones because it powers features like virtual assistants, improved photography, battery management, and personalized content. It boosts security with facial recognition, offers real-time translation, improves text prediction, tracks health metrics, and enhances accessibility, making smartphones more intuitive and efficient. But sometimes, budget phones miss out on all of these features. With that in mind, OPPO has announced its plan to make AI-powered smartphones even more accessible by bringing generative AI features to around 50 million users this year.

The China-exclusive OPPO Find X7 Ultra is just such a device, but there is still much to admire, even if it isn’t specifically meant for the U.S. market.

Oppo Find N3 Flip Review: Flipping Samsung the Bird

Back in 2019, Motorola ushered the era of the folding flip phone with the nostalgia-infused (but ultimately flawed) Moto Razr. The next year, the company followed suit with the Moto Razr 5G, and Samsung refined the idea with its Galaxy Z Flip and Z Flip 5G. But it wasn’t until Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Flip3 in 2021 that the folding flip design finally gelled.

OPPO Find X3 Pro Review: A Brilliant Android 11 Flagship in Every Way

OPPO has been making phones since 2008, yet the OPPO Find X3 Pro is the first OPPO phone that I’ve ever tried, much less reviewed. Seeing as the Find X series is OPPO’s flagship line, and the Find X3 Pro is their top model, I can’t think of a better phone to introduce me to this company, which as of January this year, has overtaken Huawei as the number one selling smartphone brand in China. I have been using the Find X3 Pro as my primary phone for the past few weeks, and I have found much to like.
