After using the Oppo Find X9s as my primary device for the past week, I’m ready to share my thoughts on how this hardware holds up in daily use.
The immediate talking point is the form factor. The device integrates a substantial 7,025mAh battery into a slim 7.99mm frame without the usual ergonomic or weight penalties. Living with the Sunset Orange version, the frosted, velvety glass features a pink-orange gradient. It manages to resist fingerprint smudges well and feels secure in the hand thanks to flat edges paired with subtle contours along the frame. At 202 grams, it feels well-balanced given the sheer capacity inside.
1That Ultra-Symmetric Display
Up front, Oppo has packed the Find X9s a calibrated 6.59-inch LTPS AMOLED flat display. What instantly grabs you are the 1.15mm ultra-thin bezels on all four sides. Because they are completely symmetric, the screen looks borderline boundless when you are scrolling through media or typing out emails. It clocks a crisp 46ppi, a buttery 120Hz refresh rate , and a high frequency 3840Hz PWM dimming rate for exceptional eye comfort in low light. Outdoors in the harsh afternoon light, the 3,600 nits peak outdoor brightness handles legibility effortlessly.
Under the hood, the Find X9s debuts the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s. Built on TSMC’s 3nm process with an “all-big-core” architecture led by the Arm Cortex-X925 core, this thing is an absolute sprinter. Apps open instantly, and the system animations in ColorOS 16 are noticeably different from past iterations.
Even during intensive setup sessions and downloading gigabytes of data, the phone stayed remarkably cool, likely thanks to that massive $32,052.5mm2 advanced vapour chamber cooling area.
