Just a day after Oppo announced the launch date for the Find X9 and X9 Pro in India, their pricing has popped up on the internet now. Tipster Abhishek Yadav shared the alleged numbers on X.

According to the leak, the standard Find X9 with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage could be priced at ₹74,999. Meanwhile, the Find X9 Pro is expected to come in at ₹99,999. 

Exclusive

Oppo Find X9 (12GB+256GB) will be priced at ₹74,999 in India.

Major changes from Find X8 → Find X9:
• Ultrasonic in-display fingerprint
• MediaTek Dimensity 9500
• 7000mAh battery (up from 5600mAh)
• 50MP Sony LYT808 main cam (up from LYT700)

Still the… https://t.co/QJnQWPaJ0E

Of course, these are still expected prices, so don’t be surprised if they shift once the phones officially go on sale. 

For reference, the Find X8 debuted at ₹69,999, while the X8 Pro launched at the same price in India.

What can you expect?

The Find X9 features a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with a 2760×1256 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Peak brightness hits an impressive 3600 nits, and 3840Hz PWM dimming should help reduce flicker. 

The design keeps things clean with a flat aluminum frame and matte glass back in Titanium Grey, Space Black, or Velvet Red. IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings mean serious dust and water protection.

Oppo is again leaning into camera hardware. The phone adopts a new Hasselblad Master Camera System, pairing a 50MP Sony LYT-808 main sensor with 50MP ultra-wide and 50MP periscope telephoto lenses. A dedicated 2MP True Color Camera handles ambient light sensing.

Under the hood, the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 brings a claimed 32% CPU boost and 55% lower peak power draw. The 7.99mm chassis packs a hefty 7025mAh battery with 80W wired, 50W wireless, and 10W reverse charging.

The Find X9 Pro pushes things further with a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED panel, the same Dimensity 9500 chip, up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, and a 7500mAh battery. 

The big headline is its 200MP Hasselblad telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and a Samsung HP5 sensor, joined by a custom 1/1.28-inch main camera with Real-Time Triple Exposure. It also shoots 4K 120fps Dolby Vision HDR.

China’s smartphone market hit a small bump in the third quarter of 2025. According to new data from the International Data Corporation (IDC), total phone shipments in the mainland reached 68.46 million units, down 0.5% compared to the same period last year. 

IDC says the third quarter is typically a slow season for smartphone sales, and this year was no exception. With fewer new product launches and reduced national subsidies, many buyers held off on upgrades. 

The situation could improve next quarter, as many brands launched their new flagships earlier than usual. Xiaomi, for instance, announced the Xiaomi 17 series a month early in September.

The Double Eleven (November 11) sales event is where we may see an increase in purchases. However, IDC Senior Research Analyst Arthur Guo says the event is “unlikely to spark significant additional consumer demand amid economic uncertainty.”

Here’s how the brand performed

Among individual brands, vivo held onto the top spot with 11.8 million units shipped, taking a 17.2% market share despite a 7.8% year-on-year decline. 

Apple followed closely with 10.8 million units and a 15.8% share, posting a small 0.6% increase from last year. Huawei came in third with 10.4 million units and a 15.2% share, slipping 1% year-on-year. Xiaomi shipped 10 million units, taking 14.7% of the whole market. It’s a 1.7% drop from last year. 

Meanwhile, Oppo managed a slight recovery, shipping 9.9 million units for a 14.5% share, up 0.4% year-on-year. Honor matched Oppo’s shipments at 9.9 million units, but its market share dipped 1.5% to 14.4%.

The Poco F8 Pro has just picked up its NBTC certification ahead of its launch in Thailand. But while that means the release is near, a new leak suggests something less exciting — the phone might skip a charging accessory in the box. 

Word for this comes from tipster Abhishek Yadav on X, who claims the Poco F8 Pro will not include a charging brick. However, it’s not entirely new for Poco. The Poco X7 Pro and F7 also shipped without chargers in Europe, so this could be another region-specific move.

Yadav also shared an image of part of the retail box showing a “Sound by Bose” logo. That’s interesting because Xiaomi’s new Redmi K90 series carries the same branding. 

Bose branding hints at Redmi K90 rebrand

Given Poco’s long history of rebadging Redmi’s K-series phones for global markets, this adds weight to speculation that the Poco F8 Pro could be a rebranded Redmi K90.

If that’s true, the F8 Pro could share the K90’s 6.59-inch 2K LTPO flat display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 3,500 nits of peak brightness.

Inside, the Redmi K90 runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip with an Adreno 830 GPU, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage.

The camera system includes a 50MP Light Hunter 800 main camera with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP 2.5x telephoto periscope lens. Up front, there’s a 20MP selfie camera.

Keeping things running is a large 7,100mAh battery with 100W fast charging. For audio, it has dual stereo speakers tuned by Bose. Other notable features include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance, and a 3D ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner.

Oppo has officially dropped the first details about its upcoming Reno 15 series. In a post on Weibo, the company said it will share more information about the lineup on November 10th in China.

But we are not sure whether this will be a full product launch or simply an announcement of a future event date. The teaser doesn’t mention an event start time, which we usually see for full-scale launches, suggesting this might just be an announcement for the actual unveiling later on.

Speaking of which, another leak from earlier this week points to November 17th as a possible launch date for the Reno 15 lineup.

Meanwhile, tipster Digital Chat Station has shared an image of the Reno 15’s camera design on Weibo. It still features a squircle module housing three lenses and a flash, similar to its predecessor.

Both the standard and Pro versions are said to offer four high-resolution cameras in total, with a 200-megapixel main camera taking the spotlight. The tipster adds that both models support simultaneous front and rear live-streaming, and there’s talk of an “amazing feature” designed specifically for live shooting.

What can you expect?

As for the specs, the regular Oppo Reno 15 is said to feature a 6.32-inch 1.5K flat display framed in metal, powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 8450 processor. 

It could come with a 50-megapixel front camera and a triple rear setup consisting of a 200MP main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP periscope camera. The phone will also carry IP68 and IP69 waterproof ratings.

The Reno 15 Pro, on the other hand, steps it up with a larger 6.78-inch 1.5K flat screen, the same Dimensity 8450 chip, and a glass body for a more premium feel. 

It shares the same 50MP front and 200MP triple rear camera configuration as the standard model but adds 50W wireless charging to the mix. Like the base model, it is also expected to have IP68 and IP69 water resistance.

Samsung’s next flagship lineup might not rely on its in-house silicon as much as we expect it to. During Qualcomm’s Q4 2025 earnings call, the company revealed that it expects to power roughly 75 percent of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 devices with its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, leaving the remaining quarter for Samsung’s own Exynos 2600 processor.

When asked about Samsung’s growing efforts to use internal modems and custom chipsets, Qualcomm executives didn’t sound too concerned. In fact, they made it clear that their partnership with Samsung remains strong and that Snapdragon will continue to dominate the Galaxy lineup.

“What used to be a normal relationship at 50% share, the new baseline is about 75%,” a Qualcomm spokesperson said during the call. “On Galaxy S25, we got 100%. Our assumption for any new Galaxy is always going to be 75%. That is our assumption for Galaxy S26.”

This surely sounds like a confident expectation, and if true, Samsung’s long-awaited return to its dual-chip strategy might not be a full-scale comeback for its homegrown processors. Qualcomm clearly expects its chip to remain the default option in most Galaxy S26 models.

Still, Samsung’s Exynos 2600 doesn’t look like a weak link on paper. Built on the company’s 2nm GAA process, new benchmark listings suggest it can go head-to-head with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Apple’s A19 Pro. 

Despite these promising numbers, Samsung seems to be treading carefully. The company’s confidence in its chip might not yet match Qualcomm’s proven consistency, especially when it comes to real-world thermals and sustained performance.
