OPPO Find X9

Oppo's Find X8 turned out to be an easy recommendation, given that there was not much happening in the compact flagship segment in late 2024 and the first half of 2025. In the second half, things were a bit different. While Samsung continued to launch the same Galaxy S25 handset with a refreshed design, a new processor (and the same old cameras), year after year, we also saw Google's basic Pixel 10 model get a new telephoto camera, and Apple's iPhone get a 120Hz display, both of which are priced at Rs. 79,999 and Rs. 82,990, respectively. While the Oppo Find X8 was already an enticing option in 2025, the new Find X9 has some fresh challenges to tackle in this segment. To do this, Oppo has equipped it with some interesting upgrades this year. There's a new design, a faster fingerprint reader, a bigger battery and a new chip to keep up with the competition. But are these enough to keep up with the growing competition? Read on to find out!
