However, at the time of writing, we don\u2019t have the exact pricing or release date for the UK.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n        Advertisement    <\/p>\n<p>In comparison, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is readily available to buy now and has a starting price of \u00a31199\/$1199. Considering the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/reviews\/oppo-find-x9-pro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Oppo Find X9 Pro<\/a> has a similar starting price of \u00a31099, we expect this means the more premium Ultra will be more expensive than the iPhone 17 Pro Max \u2013 however that\u2019s speculation at this point.<\/p>\n<p>SQUIRREL_PLAYLIST_10207953<\/p>\n<p>Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 vs A19 Pro<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest differences between the Find X9 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max is with their respective chips. While the Find X9 Ultra runs on Qualcomm\u2019s flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is powered by Apple\u2019s own A19 Pro chip.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 17 Pro also runs on Apple\u2019s A19 Pro chip, and we found the handset offers brilliant performance across both day-to-day use and in our benchmark tests too. We also concluded the iPhone 17 Pro copes well with games too, although if that\u2019s a necessity for your handset then you\u2019ll be better off checking our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/best\/best-gaming-phones-3925811\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">best gaming phones<\/a> guide instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"461\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Oppo-Find-X9-Ultra-call-of-duty-b-820x461.jpg\" alt=\"Call of Duty on Oppo Find X9 Ultra\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden wp-image-4658339\"\/>Gaming on Find X9 Ultra. Image Credit (Trusted Reviews)<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, we found that the Oppo Find X9 Pro also offers a brilliant performance too. In fact, we especially found that the handset does a great job with ray-traced gaming too \u2013 something worth keeping in mind if you\u2019d prefer not to opt for a gaming-specific handset. Not only that, but Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 ensures everything runs smoothly and quickly too.<\/p>\n<p>\n        Advertisement    <\/p>\n<p>Oppo Find X9 Ultra has five rear cameras<\/p>\n<p>Arguably the reason to choose the Oppo Find X9 Ultra is due to its mighty camera set-up. Created in collaboration with Hasselblad, the aptly titled Hasselblad Master Camera System is made up of five rear lenses, including dual Hasselblad 200MP main and 3x telephoto lens. In fact, the latter boasts the largest sensor of its kind and can be fitted with the 300mm Explorer Teleconverter that delivers a 300m focal length and 13x optical zoom too.<\/p>\n<p>There are also two 50MP cameras which are flanked by a True Color Camera for natural colour rendition too.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Find X9 Ultra is fitted with Oppo\u2019s \u201cmost advanced cinematic capabilities to date\u201d, and can not only deliver 4K60fps Dolby Vision HDR recording, but also captures 4K120fps via the Dual Hasselblad 200MP cameras too.<\/p>\n<p>                Oppo Find X9 Ultra<\/p>\n<p>                iPhone 17 Pro<\/p>\n<p>Overall, we were blown away by the Find X9 Ultra\u2019s photography capabilities, and concluded that its vibrant capture and multiple lenses \u201ceasily challenges Apple\u201d for the best camera phone crown.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not to say the iPhone 17 Pro Max is a slouch by any means, with its trio of rear lenses able to cope well with most lighting conditions and provide a brilliant detailed finish. While we haven\u2019t reviewed the Pro Max, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/reviews\/apple-iphone-17-pro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">iPhone 17 Pro<\/a> has the same lenses on board and boasts the best zoom lens we\u2019ve seen on an Apple flagship.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n        Advertisement    <\/p>\n<p>Oppo Find X9 Ultra supports faster charging\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Like many of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/best\/best-android-phones-3438996\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">best Android phones<\/a>, the Find X9 Ultra supports exceptionally fast charging speeds \u2013 but only when paired with a compatible charger. So, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max supports 40W wired speeds and 25W MagSafe, the Find X9 Ultra boasts significantly faster numbers.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the Find X9 Ultra supports a whopping 100W SuperVOOC wired and 50W AirVOOC speeds. However, just keep in mind that you will need to purchase adapters separately to benefit from those speeds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"461\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Oppo-Find-X9-Ultra-side-profile-in-hand-820x461.jpg\" alt=\"Oppo Find X9 Ultra - side profile in hand\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden wp-image-4658336\"\/>Oppo Find X9 Ultra in hand.

Not only does it sport the same <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/explainer\/what-is-ip68-4251451\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">IP68<\/a> rating as the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which means its dust-tight and can survive water submersion, but it also benefits from an IP66 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/explainer\/what-is-ip69-4583455\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">IP69<\/a> rating too. That means the handset can withstand high pressure and high temperature water jets too.<\/p>\n<p>However, do keep in mind that the iPhone 17 Pro Max\u2019s IP68 rating realistically offers more than enough protection for everyday use. Just think about how often your phone will really be subjected to water jets.<\/p>\n<p>\n        Advertisement    <\/p>\n<p>Oppo Find X9 Ultra has a 144Hz display<\/p>\n<p>The 6.9-inch iPhone 17 Pro Max is fitted with Apple\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/explainer\/what-is-promotion-4132359\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ProMotion<\/a> technology, which means the panel has a LTPO-enabled 1-120Hz refresh rate that helps make animations, scrolling and gaming feel smooth. In comparison, the slightly smaller 6.82-inch Find X9 Ultra boasts up to a 144Hz refresh rate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>                Oppo Find X9 Ultra<\/p>\n<p>                iPhone 17 Pro<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, the Find X9 Ultra is equipped with an AMOLED, QHD+ display that we found to be \u201cimpossible to fault\u201d. Similarly, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is equipped with a Super Retina XDR (OLED), HDR display.<\/p>\n<p>Early Verdict<\/p>\n<p>Deciding between the Oppo Find X9 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max will mainly boil down to two factors: whether you\u2019re cemented in either the Android or iOS ecosystem and whether you want an especially versatile camera phone. While the iPhone 17 Pro Max is undoubtedly a versatile camera phone, the five rear lenses of the Find X9 Ultra and the optional teleconverter undoubtedly offer more flexibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oppo has announced its flagship camera smartphone, the Find X9 Ultra, but how does it compare to Apple\u2019s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":621085,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[49,48,190,61],"class_list":{"0":"post-621084","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-mobile","11":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=621084"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621084\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/621085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=621084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=621084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=621084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
