Earlier today, leaker Ice Universe reposted what they titled the ‘Oppo Find X9’. While the leaker did not elaborate further, fans inferred that the design shown was an accurate representation of what is to come from one of Oppo’s next flagship smartphones.
According to Oppo executive Zhou Yibao, Ice Universe’s tweet does not accurately represent what the Find X9 looks like. Writing on Weibo, Zhou Yibao claims that the image posted by Ice Universe is ‘not a real picture’, adding that the Find X9 is ‘more refined overall’ with an upgraded appearance. Incidentally, the same executive indicated that the Find X9 will not be available with a 24 GB RAM and 2 TB storage variant.
At this stage, Oppo has not revealed when it will launch the Find X9. However, rumour has it that Oppo will release the Find X9 series before OnePlus replaces the OnePlus 13 (curr. $849.99 on Amazon). In the meantime, the Find X9 is believed to have surfaced on Geekbench with the same MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset spotted in a recent Vivo X300 leak.
Surprisingly, the Dimensity 9500 continues to fall short of expectations with underwhelming CPU and GPU performance. Even discounting the inaccurate multi-core score, the Dimensity 9500 trails its predecessor in Geekbench’s single-core and OpenCL benchmarks with its three CPU clusters and Mali-G1 Ultra MC12 GPU.
