Display Comparison

The Google Pixel 7 Pro’s display achieves a measured peak brightness of 1090 nits, providing excellent visibility outdoors. While the Find X9+’s display specs are currently unavailable, Oppo typically employs high-quality panels. The Pixel 7 Pro’s infinite contrast ratio (nominal) ensures deep blacks and vibrant colors. The absence of LTPO information for the Find X9+ means we can’t yet assess its adaptive refresh rate capabilities, a feature present on the Pixel 7 Pro that contributes to battery efficiency.

Camera Comparison

Both devices are equipped with advanced camera systems, but approach image processing differently. The Pixel 7 Pro leverages Google’s computational photography expertise, delivering consistently excellent results in various conditions. While specific sensor details for the Find X9+ are missing, Oppo has a history of utilizing large sensors and advanced image stabilization. The Pixel 7 Pro’s strength lies in its software – features like Super Res Zoom and Photo Unblur are highly regarded. The Find X9+ will likely focus on delivering natural-looking images with high detail, relying on the power of the Dimensity 9500 for faster image processing. We'll need to see side-by-side comparisons to determine which excels in dynamic range and low-light performance.

Performance

The Mediatek Dimensity 9500 in the Oppo Find X9+ utilizes a 3nm process, a significant advantage over the Google Tensor G2’s 5nm node. This smaller process allows for greater transistor density and improved power efficiency. The Dimensity 9500’s octa-core configuration, featuring a 4.21 GHz C1-Ultra core, suggests a focus on peak performance, contrasting with the Pixel 7 Pro’s 2.85 GHz Cortex-X1 cores. The Pixel 7 Pro’s Tensor G2 is optimized for machine learning tasks, powering features like Magic Eraser and Real Tone, while the Dimensity 9500 aims for all-around CPU and GPU dominance. The Find X9+’s LPDDR5x RAM (assumed, based on flagship positioning) will further enhance its performance advantage.

Battery Life

Both the Oppo Find X9+ and Google Pixel 7 Pro achieve an endurance rating of 83 hours, indicating comparable battery life despite potentially different battery capacities. However, the Find X9+ significantly outpaces the Pixel 7 Pro in charging speed, offering 80W wired charging, capable of a full charge in under 30 minutes, alongside 50W wireless charging. The Pixel 7 Pro’s 23W wired and wireless charging, while supporting PD3.0, is considerably slower. The Find X9+'s 10W reverse wireless charging adds further convenience, allowing it to charge accessories like earbuds.

Buying Guide

Buy the Oppo Find X9+ if you need uncompromising performance for demanding tasks like gaming and video editing, and value the convenience of 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. Buy the Google Pixel 7 Pro if you prioritize computational photography, a clean Android experience with guaranteed updates, and seamless integration with Google services.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Does the Mediatek Dimensity 9500 in the Oppo Find X9+ generate excessive heat during prolonged gaming sessions?
The 3nm process of the Dimensity 9500 is designed to improve thermal efficiency compared to the 5nm Tensor G2. While sustained high performance will inevitably generate heat, the Find X9+ should exhibit less throttling than the Pixel 7 Pro during extended gaming, assuming Oppo implements an effective cooling solution.
❓ How does Google's 'Magic Eraser' feature compare to any similar photo editing capabilities on the Oppo Find X9+?
Google’s Magic Eraser is a standout feature powered by the Tensor G2’s machine learning capabilities, allowing for seamless removal of unwanted objects from photos. While Oppo’s image processing software is strong, it’s unlikely to offer a comparable feature with the same level of sophistication without dedicated AI hardware.
❓ What type of charging protocol does the Oppo Find X9+ use to achieve its 80W wired charging speed, and is a compatible charger included in the box?
The Oppo Find X9+ utilizes Oppo’s SuperVOOC charging protocol to achieve its 80W wired charging speed. While the inclusion of a charger in the box varies by region, Oppo typically includes a compatible charger with its flagship devices. It also supports 12W PD and 33W PPS for broader compatibility.
