Oppo already has its next-gen premium smartphone lineup in the works, with the Find X9 series expected to debut as a rival to Vivo’s X300 series and the Xiaomi 16 lineup. While that may still be months away, the company has now provided clarity on when exactly the Find X9 series will be released.
As shared by Zhou Yibao, Oppo’s Find series Product Manager, on Weibo, the Find X9 series will have an identical release schedule to the current-gen Find X8 lineup. The company executive confirms that the Oppo Find X9 and Find X9 Pro can be expected to debut later this year, while the Find X9s and Find X9 Ultra are scheduled to launch in the first half of 2026. Additionally, future generations of the series are currently planned to follow the same release schedule.
As with previous Find series generations, the Find X9 lineup can be expected to adopt flagship chipsets from both MediaTek and Qualcomm—in this case, the Dimensity 9500 and Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 respectively. All four phones will feature straight screens, and both the Find X9 and Find X9 Pro could be set to get overhauled rear camera housing designs. The Find X9s, a direct rival to the vanilla Xiaomi 16, is also tipped to be a compact phone featuring a triple 50 MP rear camera setup and an ultrasonic fingerprint reader.
I like tech, simple as. Half the time, you can catch me writing snarky sales copy. The rest of the time, I’m either keeping readers abreast with the latest happenings in the mobile tech world or watching football. I worked as both a journo and freelance content writer for a couple of years before joining the Notebookcheck team in 2017. Feel free to shoot me some questions on Twitter or Reddit if it so tickles thine fancy.
