From fashion events to peaceful mornings in the province, see how the OPPO Find X9 keeps up with the fast-paced life of an editorial writer, capturing every moment beautifully.
“A million girls would kill for this job,” says Emily Charlton, Emily Blunt’s iconic character in The Devil Wears Prada. The film may have premiered during the heyday of print publishing, but more than 20 years later, the magic of the industry hasn’t dimmed. Editorial and publishing work is still fast-paced, demanding, and endlessly creative. Surrounded by ideas, imagery, and inspiration at every turn, working in editorial, writers and creatives need a device that can keep up—one that captures every detail the moment it happens. That’s where the OPPO Find X9 comes in.
I was given the opportunity to try the OPPO Find X9 for a week, testing its camera and innovative features, and it quickly became an integral part of my life as a fashion and lifestyle writer. With its sleek design and thoughtful functions, the phone proved its versatility both in and out of work. It became the lens through which I moved and created. From documenting fashion and lifestyle events to capturing quiet mornings in my hometown, it kept pace with every shift in my day. More than supporting my routines, it elevated them—turning even the simplest moments into something worth remembering.

OPPO Find X9’s Sleek Design & Display
The moment I unboxed the OPPO Find X9 and held it in my hand, I immediately noticed how lightweight and sleek it felt—like it was made to slip effortlessly into my everyday life. What caught my attention first were its symmetrical bezels. It’s a small detail, but one that makes a huge difference, giving the phone a clean, nearly borderless look that feels undeniably premium.
After turning it on, the welcome and setup screens made me pause—the display is just that impressive. At 6.59 inches with a 120Hz refresh rate, everything appeared crisp, fluid, and effortlessly smooth. But beyond the visuals, the screen is designed with your eyes in mind. With a peak brightness of 3600 nits, Adaptive Eye Care, and ultra-low brightness supported by high-frequency PWM dimming, it stays comfortable to read or scroll in any setting—from bright sunlit afternoons to cozy, dim evenings. Add TÜV Rheinland and SGS eye-care certifications into the mix, and you realize this isn’t just a stunning display—it’s a considerate one, built to keep up your day without straining your eyes.
When it comes to durability, the OPPO Find X9 doesn’t fall behind. With IP66, IP68, and IP69 water and dust resistance, it can handle spills, sudden rain, or even a day at the beach without missing a beat. It also features an aerospace-grade aluminum frame that adds real-world toughness, so you don’t have to handle it like it’s made of glass. Even the screen is designed for resilience, thanks to LIPO packaging technology, which gives me the confidence to carry it everywhere—from crowded city streets to weekend escapes—without constantly worrying about accidents.
A Phone That Understands The Demand Of Life
As an editorial writer, my job isn’t just about crafting words; visual storytelling is just as important. I mean, who wants to read a 1,000-word article with zero photos? It would feel flat, even boring. Images bring a story to life, add context, and capture emotion, and that’s where the OPPO Find X9’s Hasselblad-tuned camera comes in. It makes the device an essential tool for capturing moments as vividly as I write about them.
With its powerful triple-camera system, starting with a 50MP main lens that captures sharp, detailed shots even in challenging lighting, paired with a 50MP ultra-wide with macro capability and a 50MP periscope telephoto, taking high-quality photos feels effortless. The spectral sensor takes it a step further, measuring ambient light with precision so that colors always come out accurate, vibrant, and true to life.
Videos are a significant part of my life, especially on social media. Every clip I shot at events with the OPPO Find X9 came out crisp, clear, and full of life, and the Optical Image Stabilization helped me capture steady footage even when my hands weren’t.
But it’s not all about work. I also brought the phone along for my rare, quiet moments. I captured the uncrowded streets of BGC during early morning walks and took it with me on a road trip to the province. Every photo helped preserve those peaceful, fleeting memories—the kind that feel especially precious when you’re used to the fast pace of publishing.
Beyond photography, the phone’s AI features made my life easier in ways I didn’t even expect. MindSpace organizes content from any app, provides summaries, and lets you ask follow-up questions. The Smart Recorder transcribes audio, identifies speakers, and generates summaries, making it ideal for interviews and meetings on the go. Intelligent Settings helps me find what I need quickly, and the AI photo editing tools polish each image with ease, making storytelling smoother, sharper, and more impactful.
After a week with the OPPO Find X9, I realized it’s more than just a phone; it feels like a partner in storytelling, a keeper of memories, and a quiet source of inspiration for the everyday hustle. Beautifully designed and surprisingly intuitive, it doesn’t just keep up with life; it makes the day-to-day feel a little more considered and a little more beautiful.
