MANILA, Philippines (Mar 2026) — Most smartphones today brag about high-megapixel sensors, but they often “bin” those photos down to 12 megapixels to save processing power. OPPO Philippines is looking to disrupt that standard with the official launch of the OPPO Find X9, a flagship that captures full-resolution 50MP images by default across all its rear lenses.
The breakthrough is powered by the new LUMO Image Engine. By utilizing real-time parallel processing across the phone’s CPU, GPU, and NPU, the Find X9 can handle massive amounts of data without the usual lag. In fact, OPPO claims this engine is so efficient that it actually cuts power consumption by up to 50% while delivering “8K-level” clarity in every shot.
The Hasselblad Master Camera System
At the heart of the device is a triple-threat camera setup co-engineered with Hasselblad:
- 50MP Main Camera: Features an ultra-large sensor for superior light intake.
- 50MP Ultra-Wide Camera: Designed for sweeping landscapes with zero distortion.
- 50MP Periscope Telephoto: Equipped with a Triple Prism Lens and a massive 120x Super Zoom.
For those who want more than just pixels, the partnership with Hasselblad brings iconic features like the XPAN Mode (for that cinematic 65:24 aspect ratio) and Master Mode for manual control. The phone also debuts a “True Color Camera” equipped with two million spectral pixels to ensure skin tones and sunsets look exactly as the human eye sees them.
Built for the elements
Creators on the move will appreciate the phone’s durability. The Find X9 carries a triple-threat IP66, IP68, and IP69 rating. This means it’s not just protected against a dip in the pool, but also against high-pressure and high-temperature water jets—a level of resilience rarely seen in standard consumer flagships.
Pricing and exclusive Pinoy perks
The OPPO Find X9 (16GB + 512GB) is now available nationwide for PHP 69,999 (approx. $1,215). Filipinos can snag the following deals:
- OPPO Online Store: Get the phone bundled with OPPO Enco Buds3 Pro and a free movie ticket at Bonifacio High Street Cinema. Vouchers worth up to PHP 2,800 can also be redeemed using “OPPOints” via the My OPPO App until Feb. 28, 2026.
- E-commerce (Shopee/Lazada/TikTok): Use a PHP 1,500 exclusive voucher at checkout.
- Postpaid Plans: Available via Globe GPlan 2499 (PHP 26,000 cashout) and Smart Infinity (Complimentary on Plan 8000). Postpaid subscribers also get a limited-edition DJI Osmo Mobile SE Stabilizer.
For a device that measures just 7.99mm thin, the Find X9 manages to pack a 7,025mAh battery and 80W SUPERVOOC charging, making it a serious contender for the best all-around flagship of 2026.
