“Okay, fresh out of the box. So far, on a scale of 1 to 10, look at that. Everything works. On a scale of 1 to 10, this is definitely going to be a triple major go global version.”
“Overall, fresh out of the box on a scale of 1 to 10. Okay, so far this is a major major major go. Is it going to reach four majors? Give me about a week. Let me fully test it out.”
The Oppo Find X9 Ultra presents with a great camera and impressive hardware, including a distinguished design. Despite these strengths, the user experience is significantly hampered by unoriginal software that closely mimics the iPhone.
Furthermore, its high price point diminishes its overall appeal, leading the reviewer to prefer a foldable device for the same cost.
“All of it is undermined by some of the least original iPhone emulating software around.”
“And it carries a price tag I'd rather spend on a foldable.”
“The Oppo Find X9 Ultra is overall an excellent flagship and camera phone, delivering the goods in pretty much all of our test scenarios.”
“It's overall rather similar to the Galaxy S26 Ultra, but with the advantage of much better battery life while maintaining similar charging speeds. And when it comes to the cameras, the image quality here is hard to beat. The video sharpness, however, left a little bit to be desired.”
“With all this considered, Oppo's Find X9 Ultra should definitely be on your list if you're looking for a camera phone. But if video recording is your ultimate goal, you might want to consider all of the options.”
The Oppo Find X9 Ultra is highly praised for offering the best smartphone camera system the reviewer has ever used, distinguished by its exceptional 10x optical zoom and robust low-light performance. It also boasts a substantial 7,500 mAh battery with 100W fast charging and a vibrant 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED display. A significant highlight is its global availability, marking the first time Oppo's Ultra series can be purchased outside China, fostering healthy competition.
Despite a potential performance gap with MediaTek chips in specific demanding scenarios and occasional video zooming issues, the phone's strengths, particularly its camera, position it as an outstanding device.
“I've already said that this is the best camera system I've ever used on a smartphone. I can't keep saying that but it is. That is my conclusion really.”
“The fact that the camera system is so good should spur on other smartphone manufacturers to do similar things. Competition is brilliant for us.”
“The device I'm talking about is the Oppo Find X9 Ultra and it is flagship in every category and then it takes the camera department to a completely different level from what we've seen in the past.”
“overall a one-of-a-kind experience and a camera test like no other, but definitely a fitting one for a device with so much versatility from a range perspective.”
“it just gives you the capability to get a little bit more creative, especially in environments where you've got long range or you've got detail at distance.”
The Oppo Find X9 Ultra stands out as a "peak slab phone" for the current year, excelling across all key aspects of a premium smartphone. It features an "insane" and "ridiculous" camera system, offering immense versatility and high-quality results for both photos and videos, even being used by the reviewer to shoot content for his channel.
The device also boasts an exceptionally good 7,050mAh battery, often lasting up to two days, complemented by ultra-fast charging capabilities. Its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor ensures top-tier performance, while the super bright OLED display provides an outstanding visual experience in all lighting conditions.
Coupled with its robust build quality, the X9 Ultra presents itself as an extremely capable and highly recommended flagship.
“It is ridiculous, and it's got me thinking a lot about peak... slab phone, which is, of course, a moving goalpost.”
“Metal rails, square... built like a tank. Slightly improved glass every year that's still glass. And then IP69 dust and water resistance.”
“The latest episode was actually shot on this X9 Ultra, so if you want to see what the footage from this phone looks like, I'll link it below the like button. It is so good.”
“OPPO, the OPPO Find X9 Ultra. I think it blows every other Android phone out the water. The cameras are way ahead of what Google are doing with the Google Pixel than Samsung with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.”
“I even think in terms of its video, this can do more than an iPhone.”
“As good as the OPPO Find X9 Ultra is, there is still one thing letting it down. It's the first Ultra phone from Oppo getting a global release, but sadly that global release does not include the US.”
