The Oppo Find X9 Pro is a hardware triumph with a software problem, offering a mixed bag for the dedicated gamer. While its massive 7,500mAh battery and Hasselblad-tuned camera system set a new gold standard for flagship endurance and mobile photography, the experience stumbles when pushed to the edge. Despite the raw power of the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip, the phone suffers from aggressive thermal throttling—hitting uncomfortable temperatures of 50°C—and frustrating software caps that lock many titles to 60 FPS, effectively wasting the potential of its stunning 120Hz display. At $1,240, it is the ultimate daily driver for the power user who hates charging, but a restrained and overheating beast for the competitive gamer demanding peak performance.
