Oppo has brought the Find X9 5G series to India, promising serious upgrades in cameras, performance and battery life. The lineup includes the Find X9 5G and the Find X9 Pro 5G, but it’s the standard model that ends up competing head-to-head with one of the newest flagships of the year—the OnePlus 15 5G. Both phones fall in a similar price bracket, look surprisingly alike, and try to win over the same audience. So the question becomes: which one actually offers more?

Design and Display

At first glance, it’s difficult to separate the two. The Find X9 5G and OnePlus 15 5G share a nearly identical design language—flat panels, curved edges and a square rear camera housing. The distinction lies in the smaller details: sensor placement, the flash layout and water-resistance. Oppo offers IP68 protection, but OnePlus edges ahead with an IP69K rating, giving it a slight durability advantage.

The differences become clearer on the display front. Oppo opts for a 6.59-inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate—a compact, fluid experience. OnePlus, meanwhile, uses a larger 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display that pushes the refresh rate all the way to 165Hz, giving it the spec-sheet win for smoothness and immersion.

Performance and Battery

Inside the Find X9 5G sits MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 paired with up to 16GB RAM. It’s a flagship chip, but OnePlus counters with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5—known for better thermal stability and sustained performance. On paper, Snapdragon has the edge, though real-world testing will show how much that difference matters in daily use.

Battery life could be a deciding factor for many. Oppo packs a 7025mAh battery with 80W charging, while OnePlus stretches slightly further with a 7300mAh cell and much faster 120W wired charging. For users who value quick top-ups, OnePlus clearly pushes harder.

Camera

Both smartphones carry a 50MP triple-camera setup, but the philosophy behind them differs. OnePlus offers up to 3.5x optical zoom and uses its DetailMax Engine for processing. Oppo counters not with zoom, but with tuning. The Find X9 benefits from Hasselblad-calibrated optics and Oppo’s LUMO Imaging engine, which could give it an advantage in colour accuracy, low-light performance and overall consistency.

Price

The Oppo Find X9 5G begins at ₹74,999 for its 12GB + 256GB variant. OnePlus positions the 15 5G just slightly lower at ₹72,999 for an identical RAM and storage configuration. It’s a close race in every sense—features, design, and now pricing.
