Oppo Find X9 Ultra vs Vivo X300 Ultra tested by Notebookcheck
The Oppo Find X9 Ultra is the perfect companion for vacations and holidays. With its versatile Hasselblad cameras, the flagship phone offers impressive macro performance and excellent zoom capabilities, even for the most distant subjects and smallest details. We also compare photo results with the Vivo X300 Ultra.

Typically, many people are drawn to the great outdoors during their summer vacation. But whether for extended hikes or spontaneous discovery tours in the city, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra is the ideal companion for capturing the best photographic moments. Prices for the flagship start at around $1,200 for our review sample from Trading Shenzhen.

The Find X9 Ultra is particularly versatile thanks to its Hasselblad cameras and wide range of focal lengths. From an ultra-wide-angle camera to two telephoto lenses, everything is on board and delivers really good photo quality. You can find all the information, photos and video recordings in our review.

However, the most interesting things are often in the distance or very close up. One feature that often gets lost among the multitude of features on Ultra smartphones is their macro quality. The Find X9 Ultra also performs very well here, and the Oppo flagship has everything it needs for top-class close-ups.

To better evaluate the photo quality of our macro shots, we also used a Vivo X300 Ultra for comparison.

Flagship smartphone with the best zoom photos: compared with the Vivo X300 Ultra

We were also impressed by the 50-megapixel periscope lens with the 10x optical zoom. If you want to take pictures of distant subjects on your vacation trip, the Find X9 Ultra is probably the best companion at the moment. This is especially true because the Oppo flagship can be equipped with a teleconverter.

But it's not just the camera that makes the Oppo smartphone a vacation pro. A long-lasting battery is crucial for long trips so that users can easily get through the day even with intensive use. In our WLAN battery test, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra's 7,050 mAh silicon-carbon battery lasts a very long time.

The bright OLED display also remains easy to read outdoors for the most part. However, the Find X9 Ultra is weaker in direct sunlight - especially at the height of summer. If you only go on beach, you should read our review and consider the disadvantages of display dimming before making a purchase.
