OPPO Find X9s to debut globally alongside Find X9 Ultra; 50MP triple cameras, 7,025mAh battery confirmed
OPPO has a big event in China on April 21st, where it’s launching the Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s Pro. Both phones are part of OPPO’s flagship lineup, with the Ultra being the top-end model offering the best cameras. The OPPO Find X9s Pro will launch as a compact flagship and the first one to offer dual 200MP cameras. The Find X9 Ultra is confirmed to arrive globally, marking its debut as the first Ultra model to launch outside China. There’s another phone that’s launching globally—the Find X9s, which appears to be a toned-down version of the Pro model.
OPPO Find X9s global launch details
The OPPO Find X9s is set to launch globally alongside the Find X9 Ultra. There’s a dedicated microsite for the launch event, although the specific date hasn’t been revealed. But since it’s launching with the Find X9 Ultra, which is confirmed to debut on April 21st, it’s most likely the same date for the Find X9s as well. OPPO had also confirmed the India launch of Find X9s earlier this year in February. The announcement was made at a MediaTek event, where they confirmed the Find X9s will launch with the new Dimensity 9500s SoC.

Based on this confirmation, it looks like OPPO is keeping the Find X9s Pro exclusive to China and the Find X9s for global markets. If so, then global markets will not get the dual 200MP camera goodness from the Find X9s Pro.
OPPO Find X9s Pro design, key specs
OPPO has shared a short teaser video of the Find X9s on its global X page. Here, the Find X9s is seen in three colours: orange, light purple, and dark grey/black. The smartphone has a square-shaped camera module similar to its Find X9 series siblings. One might even mistake it for the Find X9s Pro, but a key difference is the extended camera deco, which gives the Pro model a more premium look.
Up front, the OPPO Find X9s will feature a flat display with 1.15mm ultra-thin bezels, like the Find X9s Pro. Both phones are most likely using LIPO packaging, a technique that helps reduce bezel thickness and gives the display a more edge-to-edge appearance. This would explain the almost bezel-less screen on the Find X9s.
The Find X9s is also confirmed to house a large 7,025mAh battery. With this capacity, the handset should comfortably last longer than a day on regular to moderate usage. The smartphone is also teased to house a 50MP triple-camera setup. The cameras haven’t been detailed, but we could get a telephoto lens on the Find X9s. This would make it a versatile camera setup, giving the phone an edge over other sub-flagships in the segment.
Since the OPPO Find X9s is already confirmed to feature the Dimensity 9500s chipset, we can expect flagship-level performance from the handset. The POCO X8 Pro Max uses the same chipset, and the phone is already a proven top performer in the segment. This suggests that we can expect a similar output from the Find X9s.
Based on what we know so far, the OPPO Find X9s is shaping up to be a promising sub-flagship with a premium design, versatile cameras, a large battery, and flagship performance. Pricing will ultimately determine where the phone actually stands, but it would be worth waiting for. The Find X9s can be recommended for those who want a powerful phone that doesn’t compromise on performance, endurance, and cameras, while offering an immersive display. Current users of older mid-range devices, looking for a significant upgrade, might find the Find X9s a compelling upgrade, especially if the pricing is aggressive.
