"This is the best battery life of any phone I've tested in years, and by far the best of any flagship. The only real problem for Oppo is that I suspect it's not unique - it's part of a new wave of Android flagships delivering batteries larger than 7,000mAh, which could soon shift expectations on how long a smartphone should last."
"The impressive longevity is thanks to a silicon-carbon battery, a more energy-dense type of cell that's allowed Oppo to fit a 7,500mAh battery into a phone that's still only 8.25mm thick - thinner than an iPhone 17 Pro, with almost double the battery capacity, and about the same price at £1,099 / €1,299. It's not alone in sheer size, though: It matches the 7,500mAh capacity of the recent Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, and beats the 7,300mAh OnePlus 15 and 7,200mAh Honor Magic 8 Pro."
The Oppo Find X9 Pro demonstrated exceptional battery endurance, lasting 74 and a half hours in one test and about 50 hours with the always-on display active. A silicon-carbon battery enabled a 7,500mAh cell to fit within an 8.25mm-thick chassis. The capacity equals the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max and exceeds the OnePlus 15 (7,300mAh) and Honor Magic 8 Pro (7,200mAh). At £1,099 / €1,299 and thinner than the iPhone 17 Pro, the handset delivers nearly double the battery capacity of that competitor. The emergence of 7,000mAh-plus flagships could recalibrate expectations for smartphone battery life.
