Compact Camera Powerhouse
The Oppo Find X9s Pro impressively shows in our review how much camera potential a compact smartphone can have and why it is also a top-tier alternative to the Apple iPhone 17 or Galaxy S26. Prices start at around $940 from Trading Shenzhen.
Dual 200 MP Camera Setup
Oppo relies on a dual 200 MPix camera setup for its mini flagship, as with the Ultra model. Although it does not use the same sensors as the Find X9 Ultra, the hardware of the smaller Pro model is still impressive. The main camera is Samsung’s ISOCELL HP9 with an f/1.6 aperture and optical image stabilization (OIS).
Zoom and Ultra-Wide Inherited from Flagship
The Oppo Find X9s Pro inherits the ultra wide and zoom cameras from the larger flagship Find X9 Prowhich is quite remarkable. This means that the 1/1.56-inch ISOCELL HP5 sensor fpr the 200 MPix telephoto lens is just as large as the main camera of the iPhone 17. By contrast, the Apple smartphone only zooms digitally.
Real-World Camera Performance
In real word usage, the Find X9s Pro has significantly better camera hardware and delivers visibly more detail in our review despite its similar dimensions. Especially in the dark, the iPhone 17’s photos are not competitive with Oppo’s mini flagship. The Find X9s Pro’s main camera offers more texture and a better level of sharpness.
Telephoto Lens Dominance
However, the Find X9s Pro really plays to its biggest strength when it comes to the telephoto lens. Although Oppo’s mini flagship does not quite reach the level of the Ultra model, the zoom’s photo quality is impressively good for a compact smartphone. Even a 20x magnified shot still looks absolutely usable with the Find X9s Pro and does not look artificial.
