OPPO has recently increased the price of its flagship device Find X9 by Rs 10,000 across storage variants in India. The revised pricing kicks in immediately after midnight today. As OPPO continues to expand its high-end lineup with new models like the Find X9s and Find X9 Ultra, the price jump is largely attributed to rising component costs, logistical disruptions, and general supply chain pressures.
How Much Has the Price Gone Up?
The 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant of OPPO Find X9 has shifted from Rs 74,999 to a new price tag of Rs 84,999. Similarly, the top-end option with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage now costs Rs 94,999, reflecting a direct price increase of Rs 10,000.
The smartphone segment has been hit by these macroeconomic challenges, as geopolitical tensions and global manufacturing shortages have increased production costs across the board. Moreover, the introduction of a lower-priced model like Find X9s (Rs 79,999) necessitated this adjustment to maintain a balanced pricing hierarchy within OPPO's premium lineup.
Despite the price hike, the OPPO Find X9 remains a potent contender in the smartphone market. This high-end device features a massive 7,025mAh battery and supports both wired (80W SuperVOOC) and wireless (50W AirVOOC) charging options. The camera setup includes Hasselblad-tuned optics, ensuring professional-grade photography capabilities.
In terms of display and durability, the Find X9 boasts a 6.59-inch fluid AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. Additionally, it is rated IP69 for robust protection against dust and water.
