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
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

FLY* TOP Screen* TOP Selfie* TOP Software

EDITORIAL: Despite minimal upgrades the S25+ looks great. It comes with the fastest 2024 processor, memory and USB hardware, top screen and a big push in AI and overall functionality. A very complete (if uninspired) package.

PROs
good build, great SnapDragon 8 Elite with UFS 4.0 performance, excellent >1400nits >500ppi LTPO AMOLED with HDR10+, reliable 50MP 24mm OIS PDAF main + 10MP 67mm OIS PDAF telephoto + 12MP 13mm ultrawide setup, a great 12MP 26mm dual-pixel PDAF selfie, leading AI features, 7 years of OS updates, DeX software that can replace your computer for most work scenarios and a fast USB-C 3.2 with Display Port 1.2
CONs
24hr endurance from a large phone, small 4900mAh old-tech lithium battery with slow 45W (15W wireless) charging, no AF on ultrawide, 8k Video recording but no expandable storage, lack of real innovation that Samsung S series phones used to shine at
