Oppo Find X9 Ultra vs. Find X9s: Which Premium Smartphone Captures Your Interest?

The premium smartphone market is heating up, with manufacturers pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Following in the footsteps of high-priced flagships like the €2,000 vivo X300 Ultra and the €1,500 Xiaomi 17 Ultra, Oppo enters the arena with its Find X9 Ultra, priced at a competitive €1,700. Our review indicates it's a formidable contender, though the ultimate victor in the ultra-premium camera battle remains to be seen.

For those seeking to elevate their mobile photography, Oppo also offers the Hasselblad Earth Explorer Kit for the Find X9 Ultra. This accessory package includes a 300mm add-on lens, a 67mm filter adapter, and a lens collar with a tripod mount, aiming to unlock even greater photographic potential.

However, the sheer extensiveness of the Hasselblad kit might suggest the Find X9 Ultra itself isn't for the faint of heart – or the casual user. For everyday needs, the Oppo Find X9 Pro might be a more suitable choice. The Find X9 Ultra truly justifies its premium price tag only if you intend to fully leverage its advanced camera system. While the Hasselblad kit is an optional enhancement, the phone's four integrated lenses are remarkably capable on their own. Ultimately, the "Ultra" designation signifies a commitment to being exceptional.

The definition of an "Ultra" smartphone is fluid, with manufacturers adopting various naming conventions like Pro, Max, or XL to signify their top-tier offerings. The Oppo Find X9 Ultra directly competes with devices such as the vivo X300 Ultra and Xiaomi 17 Ultra. Questions naturally arise about its standing against other premium devices like the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, iPhone 17 Pro Max, Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Honor Magic8 Pro.

The crucial question remains: will the Oppo Find X9 Ultra be your next purchase, or will a rival device better meet your needs?

Adding to its portfolio, Oppo also introduced the Oppo Find X9s this week. Alongside the 6.3-inch X9s Pro (exclusive to China), the Find X9 Ultra and the Find X9s are set for a global rollout, including a launch in India.

The Find X9s presents a more accessible option compared to its Ultra sibling. It features the Dimensity 9500s chipset, which, despite its name, shares more architectural similarities with the Dimensity 9400 than the full 9500. While the "s" model omits wireless charging, its substantial 7,025mAh battery maintains the same capacity and supports rapid 80W wired charging.
