hate – Tutor Dasher

Summary created by Smart Answers AI In summary: Tech Advisor’s hands-on with the Oppo Find X9 Ultra reveals a promising flagship with a world-first 50Mp 10x optical telephoto and 550Mp across five lenses. The device excels with exceptional camera quality rivaling proper cameras, stunning ‘Tundra Umber’ vegan leather design, and impressive 7050mAh battery with 100W charging. However, the poorly positioned ‘Quick Button’ proves frustrating with frequent launch failures and uncomfortable placement, hindering the camera-focused experience. Oppo’s latest flagship, the Find X9 Ultra, has been officially unveiled and is set for a UK launch. While a full review is pending, my initial hands-on experience in China leading up to the launch event has been intriguing. Overall, my experience with the device has been positive, with the Find X9 Ultra shaping up to be a strong contender for the best camera phone of the year. In this condensed preview, I highlight the features that stand out to me, as well as one particular issue that I find bothersome. Design (with a caveat) From the moment I unboxed the Find X9 Ultra, I was impressed by its stunning design, especially in the gorgeous Tundra Umber colorway. The vegan leather finish and camera-like aesthetics make it a standout choice for me. Chris Martin / Foundry The attention to detail and premium feel of the device, along with unique design elements like the orange accent around the camera module, make it a standout choice for camera enthusiasts. Camera performance The Find X9 Ultra's camera capabilities are a major selling point, with a total of 550Mp spread across five lenses, including a groundbreaking 50Mp 10x optical telephoto zoom. Early testing indicates strong performance from the camera system, offering versatility and high-quality images that rival dedicated cameras. Chris Martin / Foundry The camera's high quality and advanced features, including Master mode and Hasselblad Hi-Res mode, make it a standout performer in the smartphone photography space. Battery and charging prowess The Find X9 Ultra boasts impressive battery longevity with a 7050mAh battery and fast charging capabilities of 100W wired and 50W wireless. Chris Martin / Foundry Preliminary tests show excellent battery performance, with the device maintaining a high level of charge even under heavy usage scenarios. Quick Button One aspect of the Find X9 Ultra that falls short for me is the Quick Button feature, designed specifically for camera use. While the design is stylish, the functionality of the button leaves much to be desired. Chris Martin / Foundry The Quick Button's placement and sensitivity issues make it cumbersome to use, detracting from the overall user experience. Despite its intended convenience, the button's performance falls short in practical use. This article was written on a trip hosted by Oppo.
