SUPERIOR* BEST Phone Spring 2026* TOP Camera* TOP Selfie* TOP Software* TOP Desktop Replacement
EDITORIAL: Motorola comes out with a hybrid: not quite a 8 Elite flagship in terms of processor speed or battery endurance but with a great camera, software, AI performance and build. The IP69 is supplemented with military-level drop protection, outstanding Bose-tuned sound system, excellent imaging and a very long OS support with a growing number of useful AI features.
PROs
flagship build with top drop protection, just 7mm thick, good SD 8 Gen 5 with UFS 4.1 performance, >30hr endurance from a 5200mAh Si-C battery with sub-45min 90W (50W wireless) charging, >1500nits bright 460ppi 165Hz LTPO AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, excellent 50MP 23mm OIS main + 50MP 71mm OIS periscope telephoto + 50MP 12mm ultrawide (all with PDAF) back camera setup, excellent 50MP 21mm dual pixel PDAF selfie, good video recording, stock-like Android with excellent Motorola additions, up to 7 years of OS updates, lots of AI features along with a physical AI button, desktop replacement software, Bose-tuned speaker system, fast USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 with Display Port and OTG
CONs
limited market availability as with so many Motorola phones, unusual Pantene color choice, no expandable memory, rich AI features need some polishing

SUPERIOR* TOP Battery Endurance* TOP Software* TOP PHOTO/VIDEO
EDITORIAL: This is a meaningful upgrade of Find X8 Pro. Significantly bigger battery with record breaking endurance, finally an AF on the upgraded selfie, excellent 200MP periscope telephoto that replaced two 50MP zoom lenses and a new customizable action button. Unlike Vivo, Xiaomi and Honor, Oppo likes their phones to be wide. X9 has actually gone a millimeter shorter while staying 76mm wide for a more squarish screen ratio. The imaging performance is almost Ultra level with only some minor complaints.
PROs
flagship built, excellent Dimensity 9500 with UFS 4.1 performance, proper 48hr endurance from a huge 7500mAh Si tech battery with sub-70min 80W charging (50W wireless). bright >450ppi LTPO AMOLED screen with 2000Hz PWM Dolby Vision and HDR10+ certifications, IP69 protection. excellent imaging from a 50MP 23mm OIS main + 200MP 70mm OIS 3x periscope telephoto + 50MP 15mm ultrawide (all with multi-directional PDAF), great new 50MP 21mm PDAF selfie, great video recording, up to 5 years of OS updates of stable and AI-feature rich software
CONs
>220g heavy, sub-1200nits of screen brightness, no SDmemory slot, no desktop replacement functionality or even Video Out, speakers could be louder
