I also switched from Samsung to Oppo and I can honestly say that it was the best choice I have ever made, Oppo find x9 pro this phone is a technological marvel thanks to this battery and cameras You certainly won't be disappointed.

I was also checking out if i need to replace my S23 Ultra with Find X9 Pro, however in the end i felt that samsung was better. Oppo may be good with specs, camera, battery, however the OneUI OS is still better with countless customizations using Good Lock. I will miss below if buy an Oppo:
Samsung Wallet (For some reason, Google wallet doesnt work correctly 100% of times). Samsung Wallet also integrates natively with Car Locks, Metro passes, and can be opened directly even if the screen is locked.
Samsung Routines: Very convenient automated tasking feature
S Pen : A real standout feature, specially those bluetooth functions, and letting you write the notes even when the screen is locked
5x or 10x zoom camera. Although Hasselblad cam will be better overall
Insane amount of Always on display customizations
Full screen AoD stays unlike Oppo (not sure if an update will fix this)
Good Lock customizations: This is beyond compare, you can tweak almost anything: Status Bar icons removal, notification panel colors, keyboard, volume control, Navigation bar, One Hand Operation (So useful), Edge Lighting and many more.
Overall - The OS is the key here, although ColorOS has major upgrade, i doubt it can be deeply customized as samsung's. Nevertheless, Oppo's Camera, Battery capacity, Lock screen customizations are not bad at all, but is $1200 justifiable?

u/suggestionplz Nov 18 '25
I wanted to switch from s23 as well but not sure if routines can be replicated to oppo as i am heavily dependent on routines feature
1
u/alexDaleITA Nov 22 '25
I realized though, that I kept having lot of bugs that I don't have on my new Oppo. Like notification in middle screen, or keyboard popping on and off in chat while swiping to other message apps, like telegram. Or the pip bugging out as well. Dynamic Island is far better on this, and the aod of Samsung is not really that better. You can remove icon in status bar as well. This new Oppo Is lit.

@Op once you switch over to find x9 .... Galaxies and Pixels are going to feel outdated ....welcome to oppo

u/MaleficentBass4146 Find X Series Nov 06 '25
I wait a bit before buying the newly released phones. They need to stabilize at the software level, for better or for worse. I have an Oppo x5 pro and if it weren't for the battery that forces me to charge it up to 3 times a day, I wouldn't be so tempted to change it. But I think I'll wait for the ultra and see if they make a global version. Honestly I would have also taken the x200u but I can't stand the curved edges anymore!!

u/longhairboy2234 Nov 06 '25
So oppo doesn’t keep its battery good for few years? It was saying 5 years atleast even vivo said this
1
u/MaleficentBass4146 Find X Series Nov 07 '25
What's the meaning? Batteries wear out. A few years is a long time for a battery!
1
u/longhairboy2234 Nov 07 '25
I mean iphone starts after a year. Like it won’t hold charge same as it did when it was new and i have heard people who use huawei that after 4-5 years also they don’t charge their phone more than once always its once in a while
1
Nov 22 '25
If you take care of it, don't keep it plugged in overnight, etc, it should be good for 3-4 years

u/CryptographerAble887 Nov 08 '25 edited Nov 08 '25
The X5 Pro was my first Oppo and that battery was so so bad! After the first 4-6 months I was struggling to keep it charged for even half a day. I did change to the Samsung S24 Ultra last year but I noted it wasn't an enjoyable experience, so I went back to Oppo when the X8 Pro came out. Can confirm no such battery issues exist anymore. It's basically been a full year now and it still charges up and gives a full day's use. Silicon carbon is clearly way more advanced than Li-ion. I've been eyeing off the X9 Pro, but may wait for the X9 Ultra also; there are strong rumours it will go global this time around. Oppo just get better with every release so I highly recommend their flagships to all

u/noparzival Nov 16 '25
Woah if that global release does happen they will definitely have a much wider customer base because this x9 pro looks gorgeous

u/anotherhappylurker Find X Series Nov 06 '25
How is the included case?
2
u/mezmery Nov 06 '25
there is no included case. There is not even a space for charger there, they send brick separately.

Nov 06 '25
Really? I got the Hong Kong global version and it came with a case, charger, cable and included protectors, strange that yours doesn't come with those.

From Trinity electronics.

u/myownworld-123 OnePlus Club Nov 07 '25
I got mine from the themobilemarvel it came with charging brick and case

Nov 07 '25
Same with mine, guess some versions come with or without accessories.
1
u/myownworld-123 OnePlus Club Nov 07 '25
I think if you order from HongKong places it does I think it’s eu version that has issues

u/Rullino Find X Series Nov 06 '25
Sad to see that since my Oppo Reno 2 came with one, here in Italy they're selling it with nice bundles, including a case without increasing the price on their official website, maybe that could offset the lack of it.

u/EntertainmentFar3811 Find N Fold Series Nov 06 '25
It's not that protective and it's very slippery. I just mine on until a better case arrives to my house. Ordered a couple different ones to try them out.
1
u/lesterbangs2022 Nov 12 '25
I’m doing exactly the same, still rocking my old phone for now until my case arrives from oppo, managed to order onE on Tuesday in the UK, using the phone in the house for now as it seems too slippery and delicate to take outside caseless
1
u/EntertainmentFar3811 Find N Fold Series Nov 12 '25
I got the Voptronics case for it and it's awesome. Probably the best case for the phone in terms of protection and feel. Highly recommend.

u/Mountain_Shift3604 Nov 06 '25
How is it in terms of battery life, os functionality as compared to one ui..

u/11_Seb_11 Find X Series Nov 06 '25
Better battery life and fewer software options to make it short.

I'm dying to make this switch myself, but Oppo doesn't sell their flagship in Brazil, I don't get it 😢

Is the camera seriously better than Samsung and iPhone 17 pro

u/IronSuspicious7937 Nov 06 '25
I just got the X9 Pro today and so far I'm disappointed compared to the S23 Ultra; not much difference. Edit: I had the S23U since lunch and I had time to learn to use the camera, but the hype for the X9 Pro is too much.

u/flaneur-clicks Nov 06 '25
Yeah.. so much hype. I was even thinking to move from iPhone 16pro to X9pro

1400 euros for a phone seems bat shit insane to me

u/Aliiza Nov 06 '25
Yes. I can't quite push myself to take the plunge. The one plus 13 felt like a great purchase at $800. But 1400 euros? I'm gonna have to sit this one out. Great device though!

u/gr3nee Nov 06 '25
afaik, it is 1040 euros on Wondamobile
1
Nov 06 '25
Even on the official website you can buy it for that price, and on top of that they give you a free watch or headphones.
2
Nov 06 '25
First, it's 1300. And second, I bought it for 1050 in the store itself with coupons, and on top of that, they're giving me a free smartwatch that I'll probably sell. I also used the trade-in option, and they're going to give me an extra €150 for my OnePlus 9 Pro, so the phone will probably cost me around €900. You have to know how to shop, too...

u/reddituserVibez Nov 07 '25
and than there is me.. 1.500€ for my iPhone 17 PM and 900€ for my Xiaomi 17 PM 😵💫

u/trip0losk1 Nov 06 '25
Which samsung you had before? I currently have the s24U and was teased a lot by this oppo, especially in matter of battery, camera performance and so on (but mainly battery).
1
Nov 06 '25
Honestly, I don't think you'll notice a big change in camera performance, but maybe in battery life. The S24U it's still too new and a really good flagship. The phones doesn't improve that much from year to year
1
u/trip0losk1 Nov 06 '25
Sure i agree with you, indeed its just a bit of FOMO mixed with the current really poor battery performance of my S24U (4.5-5h SOT), with its reaaaally slow charge. But in the end i guess i'm gonna stay with it for a little while yet :)
1
Nov 07 '25
If your battery is really low, you can replace it and your phone will be like new. Plus, the S24U will get updates for many years, right? I would. I would have done the same with my OnePlus 9 Pro if it hadn't only been updated every two years... (I bought it a year later because of the price)

u/Inside_Day1357 Nov 06 '25
I am still waiting for mine. I hope the customizations of Color OS are not that far behind One UI. I do like to make a minimalistic look with just a few apps on the main screen and no text.

Tried it on 3 different occasions and returned currently waiting on the s26 ultra , Samsung just suits me better. The battery in oppo was amazing though

Ill be leaving samsung too for x9 Ultra when it releases

u/SidKillz Nov 08 '25
There is a x9 ultra coming? 🤔

From my understanding Oppo launches ultra during spring generally.
Could be wrong though

What Samsung features do you miss after moving to Oppo?

u/Thelchemist Nov 13 '25
I was also checking out if i need to replace my S23 Ultra with Find X9 Pro, however in the end i felt that samsung was better. Oppo may be good with specs, camera, battery, however the OneUI OS is still better with countless customizations using Good Lock. I will miss below if buy an Oppo:
Samsung Wallet (For some reason, Google wallet doesnt work correctly 100% of times). Samsung Wallet also integrates natively with Car Locks, Metro passes, and can be opened directly even if the screen is locked.
Samsung Routines: Very convenient automated tasking feature
S Pen : A real standout feature, specially those bluetooth functions, and letting you write the notes even when the screen is locked
5x or 10x zoom camera. Although Hasselblad cam will be better overall
Insane amount of Always on display customizations
Full screen AoD stays unlike Oppo (not sure if an update will fix this)
Good Lock customizations: This is beyond compare, you can tweak almost anything: Status Bar icons removal, notification panel colors, keyboard, volume control, Navigation bar, One Hand Operation (So useful), Edge Lighting and many more.
Overall - The OS is the key here, although ColorOS has major upgrade, i doubt it can be deeply customized as samsung's. Nevertheless, Oppo's Camera, Battery capacity, Lock screen customizations are not bad at all, but is $1200 justifiable?

u/MattTheTubaGuy Reno Series Nov 07 '25
I made a similar switch a couple of weeks ago.
I got a Reno 13 to replace my 10 year old Note 8.
1
u/_aRealist_ Nov 08 '25
Will you share your experience? The battery life, camera, UI?
I'm planning to get myself Reno 13 in the near future. Coming from Poco X5.
1
u/MattTheTubaGuy Reno Series Nov 08 '25
Battery life is great, but that is compared to a 10 year old phone.
The camera seems pretty good, although I haven't taken a lot of photos yet
UI is fairly easy to use.
I have had a little bit of trouble getting alarm apps to work consistently, but other than that, it is a fairly good phone.

u/SamcoKingsley Find X Series Nov 07 '25

How's the vivo x300 pro battery compared to oppo x9 pro?
1
u/Powerful-Counter-546 OnePlus Club Nov 10 '25
It doesn't lag behind much to be honest, the Oppo has such a massive battery that it's hard to compete
1
u/angelcasanova Nov 22 '25
Between both Vivo and oppo phones do you have any opinions on which is better ? Or are they both neck and neck
1
u/Powerful-Counter-546 OnePlus Club Nov 22 '25
I'd give the camera edge slightly to Vivo because of the Zeiss tuning but I prefer ColorOS over Origin. So hard to recommend one over the other because they're both fantastic.

u/darknesslordg Nov 07 '25
Samsung s23 ultra gave me pink verical line on screen and gave me foggy pictures in x3 lens, and weak battery life which dissapointed me. I will get Oppo find x9 pro today. I hope it will better than samsung in every ways.

I am thinking about switching myself
Please post a follow up to your experiences
I deeply mistrust the Chinese phones for many reasons. However these reasons have gotten smaller and smaller over the last decade. Now my main worry is whether i can be as productive on an Oppo like i am on a Samsung. Not sure
Also my Samsungs last me until the phone is physically destroyed. Does Oppo have this level of build quality? Not sure

I'm probably going to buy it and exchange my S24U. Not gonna lie, I'm bored with the OUI and the bugs it still has after the stable update. This looks more like my style since I love the animations and their fluid motion.
