For years, OPPO’s Find series has been about merging design and technology. With the OPPO Find X9, the brand shifts focus to a quieter kind of innovation—one that strengthens what users rely on most: durability, battery life, and comfort in the hand.
Why it Matters: Smartphones are growing more powerful each year, but many still fall short in one crucial area — longevity. The OPPO Find X9 aims to change that by rethinking how every component is designed, stacked, and protected.
The OPPO Find X9 reimagines elegance and function in a more practical form. The new camera module, now placed at the upper-left corner, is 15% smaller than before but houses larger sensors and advanced optics. This redesign gives users a more comfortable grip, as the fingers rest naturally away from the lenses. Beneath that refined surface lies a completely reengineered structure called the Floating Stack Architecture. It arranges internal modules vertically, freeing up space for a larger battery while improving balance and durability.
That efficiency shows up in the numbers. The motherboard layout is now 13% denser and shorter by 10.5mm, allowing OPPO to fit a 7025mAh high-density Silicon-Carbon battery inside—a 24.7% jump from its predecessor. Despite this upgrade, the Find X9 remains just 7.99mm thin. Users can expect up to two days of typical use, and even 5 hours of continuous 4K video recording.
The silicon-carbon battery itself represents OPPO’s third-generation technology, offering an energy density of 850Wh/L and up to 400 more charge cycles than conventional lithium batteries. OPPO claims it retains 80% of its original capacity even after five years, extending the phone’s usable lifespan significantly.
Durability extends beyond the battery. The Find X9’s frame is reinforced with a high-strength steel structure, while the front is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i that has undergone OPPO’s exclusive ion-exchange process. The phone has received Swiss SGS Five-Star Overall Drop Resistance certification and boasts IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings, meaning it can handle dust, submersion, and even high-pressure, high-temperature water jets.
Yet for all its toughness, the OPPO Find X9 still values beauty. The back panel uses a single-piece glass that curves naturally into the metal frame, creating a smooth finish. Its display is nearly borderless with symmetrical 1.15mm bezels on all sides. OPPO’s upgraded 3D display installation also helps resist impact while sealing against moisture and sweat, ensuring the screen lasts longer.
Power and resilience aside, the OPPO Find X9 remains easy on the eyes and hands. Available in Titanium Grey, Space Black, and Velvet Red, each finish carries a matte texture that resists fingerprints and wear over time.
This combination of design and engineering marks what could be OPPO’s most durable flagship yet. From the inside out, the OPPO Find X9 is built not only to perform but to endure—an answer to users who demand longevity without losing elegance.
In the Philippines, the OPPO Find X9 is priced at PHP 69,999 for the 16GB + 512GB variant. Check out this story for the preorder details.
