OPPO Readies Find X9 Series for Global Debut — Big Cameras, Huge Batteries, ColorOS 16

Published: 18 Oct 2025

OPPO has confirmed it will take the Find X9 series global at a Barcelona event on October 28, 2025, bringing upgraded camera hardware, very large batteries, and the new ColorOS 16 to international markets. The models — Find X9 and Find X9 Pro — follow an initial China launch and arrive as OPPO leans heavily into imaging and battery life for its latest flagships. OPPO

The camera story is the headline: OPPO says the Pro model pairs a Hasselblad-tuned imaging system with a high-resolution telephoto module that industry coverage reports as a 200MP telephoto aimed at delivering exceptional zoom detail. OPPO also promotes its in-house LUMO computational engine and Hasselblad collaboration for color tuning and calibration. Several tech outlets note the phones’ professional video features, including high-frame-rate 4K capture and support for LOG/ACES workflows for creators. The Verge

On power and performance, both phones reportedly run MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chipset and use OPPO’s latest silicon-carbon battery engineering. The standard Find X9 is listed with about 7,025 mAh, while the Pro is reported around 7,500 mAh — figures that place them among the largest cells found in current flagship handsets and that OPPO says target multi-day use under normal conditions. 9to5Google

Design and display choices emphasize slim bezels and premium finishes: the two models use flat displays of different sizes (about 6.59-inch for the X9, 6.78-inch for the X9 Pro) with symmetrical bezels and matte glass/aluminum finishes across a range of color options. OPPO also highlights IP-rated durability and refined ergonomics in its official materials. OPPO

Software will spotlight ColorOS 16, which OPPO says brings smoother animations, AI enhancements, and expanded cross-device connectivity. The new OS is expected to ship on the Find X9 family at launch and to be a major part of OPPO’s pitch to creators and power users. The Times of India

OPPO is also extending its marketing collaborations: the company worked with the Discovery Channel for a cultural storytelling campaign tied to the Find X9 camera, inviting users and communities to share festival and performance imagery captured with the new hardware. Regional release dates and pricing will vary; OPPO has signaled regional rollouts following the global event and some regional launch windows (for example, India) have been reported for November.
