The OPPO Find X9 series is stealthily orchestrating a transformative upgrade poised to redefine the family's DNA. According to various leaks, the manufacturer is set to revolutionize four key areas: design, display, imaging, and performance, promising to shake up the flagship market in the latter half of this year.

Commencing with design and display, all models will bid adieu to curved screens, embracing 6.59-inch and 6.78-inch flat OLED options augmented by LIPO ultra-narrow bezel technology. OPPO aims to outdo the iPhone 15 Pro with even slimmer black borders. The reintroduction of flat screens not only mitigates accidental touches but also smoothens screen protector application and gaming controls. This uniform flat screen approach across the lineup signifies OPPO's ambition to redefine the Find X's "minimalist" identity with a cohesive visual identity.

On the performance front, the Find X9, X9+, and X9 Pro will spearhead the adoption of MediaTek's latest 3nm Dimensity 9500, boasting benchmark scores and energy efficiency on par with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Official sources underscore significant advancements in AI computing power and imaging ISP. The flagship X9 Ultra, however, will exclusively feature the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, clocking in at over 3.8 GHz and integrating an upgraded Adreno GPU and Wi-Fi 7 RISC architecture, setting a new benchmark for performance-hungry gamers.

The imaging system remains a cornerstone of the Find X series. The Pro and Ultra models are currently testing Samsung's new 200 MP HP5 periscope telephoto lens, supporting DCG-HDR and 10× lossless zoom, complemented by a 50 MP main camera and 50 MP ultra-wide lens to form a formidable triple-camera setup. The standard version's main camera has also been upgraded to a 1/1.4-inch 50 MP Sony LYT-828, offering a 17% improvement in dynamic range over the X8 Pro. Hasselblad Natural Color 2.0 has been integrated at the algorithmic level, ensuring consistent tone and white balance across all three models. Notably, early prototypes indicate that the Pro version's periscope focal length may be reduced from 6× to 5× to accommodate a larger sensor, but OPPO compensates with higher pixel cropping to maintain zoom quality.

In terms of battery life and heat dissipation, the standard version is anticipated to pack a 5000 mAh battery, while the Pro and Plus models will offer 6500 mAh capacities, all supporting 100W SuperVOOC wired and 50W wireless fast charging. The Ultra model, balancing battery size with body thickness, may settle in the 5800 mAh to 6000 mAh range, further enhanced by a graphene VC vapor chamber and titanium alloy frame for sustained thermal stability during photography and gaming. The entire range continues to offer IP68/69 dust and water resistance, with multi-band antenna tuning within the metal frame ensuring 5G peak speeds even in low-temperature, high-humidity environments.

The release schedule is set in stone: the Find X9, X9+, and X9 Pro will make their debut together at the end of September, just before National Day in the domestic market. The X9 Ultra, adhering to OPPO's typical cadence, will follow in the first quarter of 2026, allowing for further refinement of its top-tier imaging core. While official pricing remains under wraps, market analysts predict the standard version to start at around 4999 yuan, the Pro version around 5999 yuan, and the Ultra entering the 7499 yuan bracket, creating a distinct performance and imaging hierarchy from the X8 Ultra.

If these leaks materialize, the Find X9 series will further refine its audience segmentation with four key features: "all-flat flagship design," "periscope lens across the lineup," "three-platform chip options," and "ultra-long battery life." The standard and Plus versions promise a lightweight flagship experience, the Pro version showcases high-end imaging and straight screen aesthetics, and the Ultra embodies cutting-edge computing power and a 200 MP periscope lens. For users seeking to escape the curved screen trend and find a harmonious blend of imaging prowess and daily battery endurance, the Find X9 family will undoubtedly be one of the most noteworthy Android offerings in the latter half of this year.
