Oppo's upcoming Find X9s flagship is rumored to feature the new MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset and launch in multiple global markets including Southeast Asia.
Oppo is preparing to expand its flagship smartphone lineup with the upcoming Find X9s, which is rumored to launch globally in select markets with the latest MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset.
MediaTek Dimensity 9500s powers the Find X9s
The Find X9s is expected to be powered by the recently launched MediaTek Dimensity 9500s, a flagship chipset that debuted alongside the Dimensity 8500 for mid-range devices. This high-performance processor is built on a 3nm process and features an octa-core CPU configuration with a single Cortex-X925 core clocked at 3.2GHz, three Cortex-X4 cores at 2.4GHz, and four Cortex-A720 efficiency cores at 2.0GHz. The chipset also includes the Immortalis-G925 GPU for enhanced graphics performance.
Interestingly, the same Dimensity 9500s chipset is already being used in the recently launched Redmi Turbo 5 Max, indicating MediaTek's strategy to provide its latest flagship silicon to multiple manufacturers across different price segments.
Global launch strategy for Find X9s
According to the latest rumors, the Find X9s will see a global launch that includes India, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, and other Southeast Asian markets. The device is expected to debut in China in Q2 2026 alongside the higher-end Find X9 Ultra variant.
However, some readers have pointed out that the term "global launch" may be somewhat misleading, as Western markets appear to be excluded from this rollout. The focus seems to be primarily on Asian markets where Oppo has traditionally maintained stronger market presence.
Rumored specifications
Previous leaks suggest the Find X9s will feature impressive specifications:
- Display: 6.3-inch OLED LTPS panel with 1.5K resolution
- Security: Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner
- Battery: 7,000mAh capacity with wireless charging support
- Cameras: Dual 200MP rear cameras paired with a 50MP ultrawide unit
The large battery capacity is particularly noteworthy, as it would be one of the biggest in a flagship smartphone, potentially offering exceptional battery life for power users.
Market positioning
The Find X9s appears to be positioned as a more compact and potentially more affordable alternative to the Find X9 Ultra, while still offering flagship-level performance and camera capabilities. The use of the Dimensity 9500s chipset suggests Oppo is aiming to provide competitive performance at a potentially more accessible price point compared to Snapdragon-powered flagships.
As with all rumors, these specifications and launch details should be taken with caution until Oppo makes an official announcement. The smartphone market continues to evolve rapidly, with manufacturers increasingly focusing on specific regional markets and tailoring their product strategies accordingly.
For comparison, the current Oppo Find X9 Pro is priced at €1,299.00 for the 512GB/16GB RAM variant, though the Find X9s is expected to occupy a different market segment with its own unique positioning.
The smartphone industry continues to see intense competition in the flagship segment, with manufacturers like Oppo leveraging partnerships with chipset providers like MediaTek to differentiate their offerings and expand their global reach.
