In Malaysia, the recently unveiled Oppo Find X9s is positioned lower than the existing Find X9. The reason behind it is that the X9s packs slightly inferior specs. However, when it debuted in India, it was positioned higher than the X9, which was a bit surprising. Finally, the brand restructured the X9’s price in India, and it now costs more than the X9s.
Oppo Find X9 price revised in India
Oppo has reportedly increased the pricing of the Find X9 in India by Rs 10,000 across both storage variants. According to details shared by tipster Abhishek Yadav on X, retailers have already started receiving updated pricing information, while some retail platforms have also begun reflecting the revised rates online.
The 12GB+256GB variant is now said to cost Rs 84,999 instead of Rs 74,999. Similarly, the 16GB+512GB edition has reportedly moved from Rs 84,999 to Rs 94,999. In comparison, the 12GB+256GB and 12GB+512GB versions of the Find X9s are priced at Rs 79,999 and Rs 89,999, respectively.
It should be noted that the Find X9 is currently available for Oppo’s online store, Flipkart, Amazon, and other retailer sites. So, the price hike could be in the offline market, and it may take some time to reflect online. If the X9 is still available at a store with its original pricing, it would be the best time to purchase it.
The move changes the positioning of the Find X9 in Oppo’s flagship lineup. When the Find X9s launched in India recently, it arrived with a higher starting price than the Find X9 despite carrying slightly toned-down hardware in certain areas. With the revised pricing now in place, the hierarchy between the two devices appears more aligned.
Industry observers believe rising memory and component costs could be one of the major reasons behind the price increase. Smartphone brands across segments have started adjusting pricing in recent months as manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain expenses continue to rise globally. Similar price revisions have also been seen from other brands, including OnePlus.
Why the Find X9 still stands out
Even with the higher pricing, the Oppo Find X9 remains one of the more balanced premium smartphones currently available. The device features Hasselblad-tuned cameras, a 7,000mAh battery, flagship-grade performance, and a relatively compact 6.59-inch display compared to many large-screen rivals in the segment. However, availability has also become limited lately, especially for the 16GB RAM version, which has gone out of stock on several platforms.
