Oppo Find X9 Pro vs Vivo X300 Ultra

Oppo Find X9 Pro

A Hasselblad-tuned system headlined by a 200MP telephoto and an optional 230mm extender — best-in-class zoom, portraits and night, with a strong 50MP-by-default main.

• The 200MP telephoto was co-developed with Hasselblad and pairs with a 230mm Hasselblad teleconverter that extends optical reach by 3.28x — outstanding zoom results.
• Captures outstanding daylight detail and dynamic range, and night images that 'resemble those from professional cameras'; portraits are among the best a reviewer had seen on a smartphone.
• Versus the S26 Ultra, the Find X9 Pro has one of the best 3x cameras, one of the best ultrawides, and noticeably better night-mode color, contrast and exposure.
• Shoots 4K 120fps Dolby Vision from the 1x and 3x lenses (ultrawide capped at 4K 60fps), plus the Lumo engine and Log recording for pro work — though there can be slight micro-jitter filming at night.
• The telephoto's ~9cm minimum focusing distance enables top-quality macro closeups, and the front camera is upgraded to a 50MP module from the old 32MP fixed-focus selfie.

Vivo X300 Ultra

The reason the X300 Ultra exists: a near-1-inch 200MP 35mm main (Sony Lytia 901), a 200MP 85mm periscope, and the best ultrawide sensor on the market, tuned with Zeiss. Reviewers near-universally rate it the best-equipped camera phone of 2026 — with two important caveats: the 35mm default is divisive, and on raw image quality it's only marginally ahead of the cheaper X300 Pro.

• At the center is a 200MP main that's nearly a 1-inch sensor (Sony Lytia 901), backed by a 200MP 85mm-equivalent periscope telephoto — the phone is focused on camera quality and, even more so, video.
• Featuring three extra-large image sensors, the X300 Ultra's uncompromising camera hardware earned a solid rating — but it's hardly better than the cheaper X300 Pro in actual camera performance despite the top-notch hardware.
• I'm not sure I've seen better results from even 1-inch sensors — it's so close to 1-inch and the 35mm focal length makes for more cinematic-looking shots; the 85mm periscope is the sweet spot for portraits.
• It still holds the record for the best portrait-mode photos on a smartphone, especially at 85mm and 135mm; the 14mm ultrawide is sharp edge to edge.

Oppo Find X9 Pro

The headline act: a 7,500mAh silicon-carbon battery that won independent endurance tests against every major flagship — paired with charging that's good, not great.

• Won a foam-style battery marathon outright, lasting 31h12m and beating the iPhone 17 Pro Max, Galaxy S25 Ultra and Vivo X200 Pro — 'the new battery test champ by a big margin.'
• Earned the highest active-use score testers had recorded (~22 hours); when the Pixel 10 Pro XL died it still had 43% left, finishing ~4 hours ahead of the iPhone.
• Real-world: a 646km road trip logged 10 hours screen-on-time with 9% still left; heavy users routinely end the day with 40–53% remaining.
• Supports 80W SuperVOOC wired and 50W AirVOOC wireless plus reverse charging — but the huge cell means a full charge takes ~80–90 minutes, twice as long as 40-minute rivals.
• GSMArena clocked 1:07h from 1–100% with the proprietary adapter and 1:20h via USB-PD — and noted intermediate speeds were nearly identical, so a universal charger is fine.
• Oppo promises at least 80% battery health after 5 years of regular use — and on a 7,500mAh cell even 80% beats most phones at full capacity.

Vivo X300 Ultra

Vivo grew the silicon-carbon cell 10% to 6,600mAh while keeping the body the same size. Real-world endurance is strong — ~16h active-use score, ~7h heavy screen-on, 13–14 hour days with charge to spare — and 100W wired refills it in under an hour, with 40W wireless.

• Vivo increased the battery by 10% to 6,600mAh despite the phone being practically the same size on paper.
• In our battery test it earned an active-use score of almost 16 hours; 100W charging took it 0–66% in 30 minutes and a full charge in 46 minutes, plus 40W wireless. A charger is in the box except in Europe.
• On the China version I'm finishing entire 13–14 hour days with 25–30% left; the global version keeps the 6,600mAh cell so battery life should comfortably last 12–13 hours of heavy use.
• Getting nearly 7 hours of screen-on time with very heavy usage from the 6,600mAh silicon-carbon unit, with 100W wired and 40W wireless charging support.
• After a 4-hour heavy-usage simulation the phone still had ~45% battery left, which is solid by today's standards, and 100W wired charging takes about 45 minutes to full.

Oppo Find X9 Pro

ColorOS 16 is feature-rich and, for some, the best Android they've used — but periodic stutter and a slower update cadence than Samsung/Google temper the experience.

• Oppo commits to 5 years of OS upgrades and 6 years of security patches, and has been actively shipping fixes — a major HDR-highlight bug was resolved in a large post-launch update.
• Some long-term owners call ColorOS 16 'the best version of Android I've ever used — light, fast and smooth with no major issues.'
• Others report the phone 'continues to stutter and lag every now and then' — a software-optimisation gap versus iOS and Samsung despite strong hardware.
• r/Android's review summary: haptics much improved over the X8 Pro but behind the OnePlus 13, sound is bad, it's the first Android with 5 mics, and battery life is great while charging is not.

Vivo X300 Ultra

Origin OS 6 (Funtouch with full Google services on the global model) is clean and not over-baked with AI, and Vivo now commits to 5 OS upgrades plus 7 years of security patches. The launch software was rough but patched quickly; there's no longer a configurable camera action button.

• Despite being a Chinese device using Google services, you get 5 years of OS updates and 7 years of security updates — a solid, much-improved commitment.
• AI is present across the camera and day-to-day tools, but unlike Samsung you don't have to use AI in every single sense — it's not overbaked to the nth degree.
• Origin OS 6 introduces more transparency in the UI; brands like Vivo and Oppo have changed a lot over the past two years, easing the usual Chinese-variant fears.
• Being the first global launch for a Vivo Ultra there was an early-software rough patch, but an update arrived about 4 days later — the kind of thing Vivo can fix easily via software.
• Disappointingly there's no longer an extra configurable camera button like some previous Vivos and rivals from Oppo and Honor offer — though one reviewer was glad the old, unusable button was removed.
