1. Purchasing the EU model offers extended warranty, support, trade-in options, extras like a tablet or smartwatch, and a €100 discount.
2. The global version is cheaper through import channels and available with 16GB RAM and 1TB storage, though not in white.
3. China models lack eSIM support and some Google apps but support key LTE and 5G bands and can be set to German language. Imported devices usually have only a one-year warranty.
Options for Purchase and Benefits of Official Models
Currently, there are many ways to buy the Oppo Find X9 Ultra. If you go for the official EU model, like from Oppo’s German online store, you gonna get a better deal with longer EU warranty support, trade-in options for older phones, and maybe some cool extras such as a tablet or a smartwatch. Plus, there’s a €100 discount off the original €1,699 price with the promo code FINDX9USAVE100. However, the global version of the Oppo Find X9 Ultra is just a bit cheaper and can be acquired through import channels, which we already talk about few days ago. This version of the phone offers 16GB RAM and 1TB storage, but it’s not available in white, unlike the EU version.
Color Variants and Pricing in China
Now, the white color is exclusive for mainland China, so if someone wants Oppo’s flagship Hasselblad camera in this specific finish, they will have to import the China model. Compared to early prices, the China model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB storage can be bought starting at €1,097 on TradingShenzhen. Other retailers like AverageDad is asking around €1,116 for the same, and WondaMobile lists it at about €1,166. The 512GB model, which is comparable to the EU version, costs about €1,157 at TradingShenzhen, whereas the 16/512GB variant goes for around €1,257. The most premium option, 16GB/1TB, is priced roughly at €1,327.
Optional Hasselblad Photography Kit and Import Considerations
Many stores sell the Hasselblad Photography Kit, which includes a case, adapter, and 300mm tele extender. This kit works with both the global and China variants of the phone, making it a versatile accessory. At TradingShenzhen, this kit is priced around €377, which makes it the cheapest among all options we checked. Others like Trinity Electronics also sell it, but we didn’t verify all sellers on platforms like AliExpress. Buyers should check our initial hands-on review of the Oppo Find X9 Ultra to understand its features before buying.
Worth It to Import and Compatibility Issues
Deciding if importing the China version is worth it when the global version starting at about €1,400 is available is really up to each buyer. But, remember, China ROM variants have some restrictions, with the most important being the lack of eSIM support. Compatibility with Wear OS smartwatches might also be affected, but Android Auto should still work. In Europe, network features like LTE band 20 and key 5G bands are supported, which is a good thing. Oppo and Vivo devices even allow you to set the system language to German. Though some Google apps such as Quick Share are missing on Chinese ROMs, workarounds can enable Google Assistant, like Google Gemini, through certain methods. Keep in mind, imported devices generally come with only a one-year warranty, no matter if you’re buying the global or Chinese version.
