SUPERIOR* TOP Performance* TOP Battery Endurance* TOP Selfie* TOP Software
EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of battery charging, screen brightness and imaging performance) OnePlus left the EU and USA markets but its new flagship is not showing any signs of compromise. It doubled down on battery and screen while improving imaging too. This is a proper top-of-the-line flagship.
PROs
very fast SD 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 (2nm) with UFS 4.1 performance, >48hr endurance from a massive 9000mAh Si-C battery with >60min 100W (50W wireless) charging, >1300nits 450ppi 188Hz LTPO AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, IP69 protection (down to 2m for 30min), up to 4 years of updates for feature and AI integration rich OxygenOS, fast USB-C 3.2 port, hardware button assignable to different functions
CONs
thick and wide - hard to fit in pocket or use one-hand, massive 9000mAh could be an overkill, no expandable memory slot, no video out option to access Android 17's native desktop replacement functionality, limited market availability
Oppo Find X9 Pro

SUPERIOR* TOP Battery Endurance* TOP Software* TOP Selfie* TOP Video Recording
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

CONs
>220g heavy, sub-1200nits of screen brightness, no SDmemory slot, no desktop replacement functionality or even Video Out, speakers could be louder
