Following the launch of the Find X9 and Reno 15 series, other novelties are on the way for the Asian manufacturer. Among these is also the compact flagship OPPO Find X9s: last year’s experiment can be considered a success, and the company is ready to do it again.
However the latest rumors suggest there will be differences between the Chinese model and the Global version, with the latter — of course — coming out worse.
OPPO Find X9s: Global version different from the Chinese one, but will have a beastly battery
In the past weeks we talked a lot about OPPO Find X9s and its debut in China: the device features impressive specifications (at least according to leaks), to the extent that it could overshadow the rest of the lineup. The phone will feature the new Dimensity 9500s from MediaTek, a refresh of the former flagship Dimensity 9400+.
Among other specs there are whispers of a 6.32″ display, compact dimensions and a triple camera with two 200 MP sensors. Moreover there would be a sizeable silicon-carbon battery, 7,000 mAh and with dual charging (wired at 80W and wireless at 50W).
Recently a well-known insider returned to talking about OPPO Find X9s in Global version, but with bad news. Compared to the Chinese counterpart the international variant will have a larger display (6.59″ diagonal) and a less impressive camera system.
No 200 MP but a Sony LYT-700 50 MP sensor, a 50 MP ultra-wide, and a 50 MP periscope telephoto with 3X optical zoom — similar to the OPPO Find X9 standard, but with a different main sensor.
The battery will remain sizeable — 7,025 mAh — but with only 100W charging, foregoing wireless charging. So, in short, the Global Find X9s should lose all the features that make it irresistible: the compact size, the camera system and even wireless charging.
The launch is expected during the second quarter of the year but it is not known whether it will arrive in Italy (for now there is talk only of the Indian market).
