The OPPO Find X9 Pro is a step up over its predecessor in many ways. But easily the biggest upgrade is in the battery. It now boasts a whopping 7,500mAh capacity. That’s 1,590mAh bigger than its predecessor.
There’s also the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, the rightful upgrade from its predecessor’s Dimensity 9400.
OPPO may have realized that not many people need two 50-megapixel telephoto cameras on a smartphone. So, they merged them into one, more powerful 200-megapixel sensor.
Bottom line is, if you’re coming directly from the Find X8 Pro, there’s no reason to upgrade yet. But if you’re coming from an older model, or even from something cheaper, then you might want to consider this one.
