These refinements show OPPO’s focus on delivering design and usability features that make a real difference in daily life.
Camera performance that rivals dedicated gear
The Find X9 Pro’s camera is where it makes the biggest leap forward. At the centre of its imaging setup is the 200MP Hasselblad telephoto lens, co-engineered to capture extraordinary detail even at a distance. Its large 1/1.56-inch sensor gathers more light than typical telephoto units, producing sharper, brighter images even under overcast skies or in dim conditions. In real-world use, this translates into remarkably detailed shots, such as the image of Singapore’s Supreme Court dome taken from across the river, which retains fine textures in both the architecture and surrounding foliage. Even when zoomed in at 6x or beyond, signage and structural patterns remain crisp, avoiding the pixelation often seen with digital zoom.
The telephoto system is also highly versatile. It can capture native 50MP images at 6x zoom and supports lossless zoom up to 13.2x, with clarity preserved through advanced computational processing. This flexibility lets users transition seamlessly between wide cityscapes and close-up details without compromising image quality. The close-up of the SMBC building’s facade demonstrates this well, with intricate vertical lines and even the workers on the exterior captured in striking clarity despite the distance. This level of performance shows how the Find X9 Pro can serve as a serious tool for travel and street photography, where dynamic framing options matter.
The Ultra XDR main camera complements the telephoto system with a 1/1.28-inch Sony LYT-828 sensor and f/1.5 aperture that captures 30% more light than before. This results in brighter, more balanced exposures and more vivid colours. The riverside skyline shots illustrate how well it handles challenging conditions, preserving tonal detail in both bright skies and shaded areas while keeping skin tones and building colours natural. Indoor images, such as the rangoli display, further highlight its ability to render complex colours and textures with precision and depth without oversaturation.
Colour accuracy is strengthened by the True Color Camera, which uses an 9-channel spectral sensor to fine-tune white balance and colour rendering. The result is lifelike tones in a wide range of scenes, from the natural greens of a bonsai tree to the subtle hues of glass and steel in modern architecture. The LUMO Image Engine adds another layer of refinement through AI-powered noise reduction, tone mapping and motion capture, helping maintain clarity even in challenging scenarios. Video performance is equally strong, with 4K recording at up to 120fps, Dolby Vision support and professional-grade LOG profiles. Combined with advanced audio capture and Stage Mode, these features make the Find X9 Pro a versatile option for casual users and creators alike.
These capabilities position the Find X9 Pro among the most capable camera phones available today. It performs impressively in controlled tests and in everyday use, capturing distant architectural details, vibrant cultural scenes and expansive cityscapes with ease. The sample images shown here demonstrate how OPPO’s camera technology translates into consistently high-quality results in real-world conditions.
