OPPO Find X9 Series Launching in India on November 18

OPPO has just announced the launch date for their next-generation flagship lineup, the Find X9 Series, which is set to hit the Indian market on November 18, 2025. The series will include two major models: the Find X9 and the Find X9 Pro, which will bring major leaps forward in terms of imaging technology, aesthetic design, and all-around performance. Competing directly against other high-end flagships such as the Vivo X300 Series, OnePlus 15, iQOO 15, and Realme GT8 Pro, the new OPPO line-up seems readied to reimagine flagship standards in 2025.

While the OnePlus 15 is expected to launch on November 13th and iQOO 15 later on November 26, OPPO seems strategically placed in between, making the Find X9 Series the focus of attention for the month of November among the smartphone circles.

MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Powers Find X9 Series

At the very core of the Find X9 and Find X9 Pro lies the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset-a seriously powerful flagship processor constructed to handle intensive tasks, gaming, and most notably, advanced photography features. This represents one of the most daring moves by OPPO, which certainly meets its objective by offering top-notch performance, energy efficiency, and AI-driven image processing.

The Find X9 Series is designed to be an all-rounder flagship, and heavily focuses on photography. The phones sport LTPO AMOLED displays, measuring 6.59 inches on the Find X9 and 6.78 inches on the Find X9 Pro, for ultra-smooth refresh rates and vivid colours. Paired with large 7,000mAh+ batteries, OPPO promises longer screen times and better endurance compared to many competing flagships.

Design-wise, the Find X9 series boasts a flat-edge aesthetic with a rounded-rectangle camera island, which looks modern and symmetrical. This design evolution subtly makes it different from OPPO's previous Find series and aligns it with the most recent design trends across the flagship market.

Hasselblad Partnership Returns with a 200MP Telephoto Lens

But it is here that OPPO truly flexes its engineering muscle, and the camera is no exception. The Find X9 Pro comes with a Hasselblad co-engineered camera system, carrying the legacy of OPPO's partnership with the highly regarded Swedish camera maker. These include a 200MP telephoto sensor, dual 50MP cameras for wide and ultra-wide shots.

By contrast, the Find X9 is equipped with a triple 50MP camera setup, including sensors from Sony. The primary sensor is a 50MP Sony LYT-808 with f/1.6 aperture and supports OIS, therefore giving crisp and stable shots. It's supported by a 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera with an f/2.0 aperture for wider coverage and a 50MP Sony LYT-600 telephoto lens f/2.6 with OIS for detailed zoom shots.

For selfie purposes, users get a 32MP Sony IMX615 selfie camera, ideal for selfies, vlogging, and crystal-clear video calls. Curiously, when OnePlus abandoned Hasselblad in its new flagships, the OPPO Find X9 Pro remained the only flagship in 2025 that retained this exclusive collaboration.

The LUMO Image Engine

The biggest innovation in the Find X9 Series is undoubtedly the LUMO Image Engine OPPO's advanced in-house imaging technology. Designed to reproduce images as naturally as the human eye sees, LUMO uses optics, sensor control, color science, and computational image processing in a harmonious balance to achieve realistic results.

According to OPPO, LUMO enhances clarity, depth, and color balance across all lighting conditions, whether users are shooting portraits, landscapes, or motion shots. It ensures true-to-life tones with no over-saturation, while preserving the mood and detail of every shot.

Powered by the Dimensity 9500's Imagiq NPU and ISP, LUMO executes real-time depth, motion, and colour analysis to yield professional-grade photography straight from the smartphone. OPPO has also integrated the ProXDR ecosystem, ensuring image fidelity throughout the entire workflow-from capture to editing and sharing.

For creators and photography enthusiasts, this means natural bokeh, enhanced low-light clarity, and realistic textures without the over-processing usually associated with smartphones. OPPO's emphasis on LUMO clearly indicates a desire to innovate beyond just the hardware level but to be excellent at software too.

Find X9 vs Rivals

When put in comparison with its competitors, the OPPO Find X9 series carves a distinct identity in the 2025 flagship race. While the Vivo X300 Series focuses on its strong point, which is the Zeiss imaging system, the iQOO 15 and Realme GT8 Pro are targeted at gaming and performance audiences. Meanwhile, OPPO will be targeting mobile photography lovers, content creators, and premium users seeking a camera-first flagship.

Battery life is another major win in favor of OPPO, with over 7,000mAh battery capacities, the Find X9 series easily outperforms Vivo's 6,150mAh limit, promising exceptional endurance. Paired with the efficiency of the Dimensity 9500 and combined with OPPO's SUPERVOOC fast charging, it should promise top-tier battery reliability.

The expected price range of the OPPO Find X9 series in India is around ₹70,000 to ₹80,000, directly competing with the likes of the OnePlus 15 and Vivo X300 Pro. However, OPPO will have an edge over the competitors due to its unique imaging technology and superior battery.

With the Find X9 series, OPPO is going all-in with innovation rather than raw specifications. In fact, highlighting LUMO Image Engine points to a growing trend in the smartphone industry where computational imaging and user experience are as important as raw hardware specs.

If OPPO manages to deliver on those imaging promises and keeps pricing fairly competitive, the Find X9 Series could easily turn out to be one of the most balanced and camera-centric Android flagships of 2025. From photography enthusiasts to casual users, this series appears perfectly positioned to deliver a premium experience without compromise.

The OPPO Find X9 Series is shaping up to be a powerhouse flagship, blending next-gen processing with elite camera capabilities. With the Hasselblad partnership, LUMO Image Engine, and huge battery capacities, OPPO looks ready to set a new standard for smartphone imaging in 2025. With OPPO gearing for its November 18 launch in India, all eyes will be on how it translates its global innovation to the Indian market-and whether it will be able to truly challenge such strong flagship offerings from brands like OnePlus and Vivo.
