The Oppo Find X9 Pro is a camera-first flagship that, refreshingly, trusts its own hardware. The 1-inch main sensor does real work; the computational pipeline does less, and is better for it.
In daylight the results are clean and unhurried. The phone resists the over-sharpened, over-saturated look that has crept into its rivals' night modes.
Where it slips
Battery life is merely good, not exceptional, and the bundled-charger politics will annoy. But for anyone who buys a phone primarily to photograph, this is the one to beat this year.
