The Most Cultured Flagship Now Within Reach: The OPPO Find X9 Now Available for Pre-Order

Tweet

Leading global smart device brand OPPO is ushering in a new era of artistry and technology with the OPPO Find X9, now available for pre-order in the Philippines.

Crafted as the brand’s most cultured flagship yet, the OPPO Find X9 redefines sophistication by combining breathtaking design, professional-grade imaging, and intelligent technology in one masterpiece of modern engineering.

Capturing Every Moment with Purpose and Precision

At the heart of the OPPO Find X9 lies the Hasselblad Master Camera System, boasting a quad-camera setup that redefines mobile photography, bannered by a pro-level 50MP main camera with an ultra-large aperture that captures 57% more light than the previous generation.

The OPPO Find X9’s 50MP Periscope Telephoto combines OPPO’s exclusive Triple Prism Lens with a large sensor delivering 3x optical zoom and 6x lossless zoom. Featuring True Color Camera technology and the LUMO Image Engine, it captures life with studio-level color accuracy and detail.

Aside from its photography prowess, the OPPO Find X9 also showcases OPPO’s most remarkable jump in mobile photography - the ability to record videos in 4K resolution at 120 FPS through its main camera. This allows shooting high-quality slow-motion footage with exceptional stability.

From stunning 4K Motion Photos to cinematic 120FPS Dolby Vision video, every frame is crafted with depth and artistry. Paired with a 120x Super Zoom, it lets users discover beauty from every distance, be it a city skyline, an intimate portrait, or a faraway landscape.

Empowering Seamless Productivity with next-level AI and software

Beyond delivering stunning visuals, the OPPO Find X9 enhances how creative individuals work, create, and live.

OPPO’s newest flagship device delivers next-level performance with the latest ColorOS 16, featuring an all-new Luminous Rendering Engine upgrade carrying two major enhancements - Unified Seamless Architecture, which enables fluid, element-level animations and effortless transitions between system and third-party apps, and Independent Rendering, a self-developed asynchronous scheduling algorithm that boosts scrolling smoothness, reduces frame drops, and ensures consistently fast, responsive interactions

The OPPO Find X9 also introduces AI Mind Space, an intelligent app that simplifies how users capture and organize information. With a simple three-finger swipe, on-screen content—text, images, or web pages—can be saved instantly into a unified hub that automatically categorizes ideas for easy access and management.

Pushing Boundaries with Upgraded Hardware

As it continues to test the limits of smartphone photography and videography, the OPPO Find X9 is bolstered by a powerful battery and next-level chipset.

Packed with a large 7,025 mAh silicon-carbon battery, it can keep up even with the most dynamic lifestyles, complemented by 80W SUPERVOOC™ fast charging and 50W AIRVOOC™ wireless charging for quick, seamless power-ups.

Taking the OPPO Find X9 a notch higher is the newest MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset under its hood, along with the latest edition of Trinity Engine, which redefines chip-level resource management for sustained high performance and superior power efficiency co-developed with MediaTek.

The OPPO Find X9 is designed for those who seek more and use technology as an expression of refinement, creativity, and individuality.
