Oppo Find X9
73.9mm (2.91in) · Oct 22, 2025 · Rank #51
13+13+11+12+12+3+4+0+5+0 = 73
EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectations of battery charging speed as well was photo, video and software performance) Oppo brings an iterative upgrade with narrower body, best Dimensity chip, UFS 4.1 memory architecture, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, brighter screen and Bluetooth 6.0 but the biggest upgrades is the 7000mAh battery that delivers 2 day endurance. The back and front cameras remain the same with minor tweaks. Design and build are the same: flagship (tho a bit bland). Screen didnât get LTPO tech and the selfie remains sans-AF: the weakest part of this excellent phone. Oppo also added more AI tricks and a new customizable function button.
PROs
excellent build, very fast Mediatec 9500 with UFS 4.1 performance, 2day endurance from a 7000mAh Si-C battery with sub-60min 80W charging (50W wireless). bright >1400nits 460ppi AMOLED screen with 3800Hz PWM, Dolby Vision and HDR10+, IP69 protection. excellent photos from the 50MP OIS main + 50MP OIS periscope telephoto + 50MP ultrawide (all with multi-directional PDAF), up to 5 updates of very stable and modern OS packed with AI features
CONs
wide and hard to use one-hand, no LTPO tech, no AF on mediocre selfie, no SDmemory slot, no video out or desktop replacement functionality (added Oct 19, 2025)
Xiaomi 15
71.2mm (2.8in) · Oct 29, 2024 · Rank #55

FLY* TOP Software
EDITORIAL: Great performance (with throttling under pressure) and exceptional battery endurance. Fast charging, excellent screen and very good photos and videos. It is too bad that Xiaomi cuts corners with it's best compact so the 15 Pro and 15 Ultra can justify their higher prices. There is still no AF on the ultrawide. No AF on the selfie either. No memory expansion, headphone jack or desktop replacement feature but Xiaomi 15 comes with a 90W charger in the box (in most markets).
PROs
flagship build, SnapDragon 8 Elite processor fast performance, 36hr endurance from a 5240mAh Silicone Carbon battery with sub-50min fast 90W wired (50W wireless) charging, 1500nits bright LTPO OLED screen with Dolby Vision, very capable 50MP OIS PDAF main + 50MP PDAF tele plus a 50MP ultrawide setup, 4 years of updates of stabile and feature rich OS, fast USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port with OTG
CONs
ultrawide and selfie cameras with no OIS, PDAF or even AF, lack of expandable storage, no desktop replacement software (but video-out is there)
