Google Pixel 9a vs OPPO Find X9 Pro
Our Verdict: The OPPO Find X9 Pro has the better camera on paper, 200MP versus 48MP, plus a 50MP selfie camera against 13MP, and the X9 Pro packs the bigger battery, 7500mAh against 5100mAh, which usually means longer between charges. The X9 Pro has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.8" against 6.3" and sharper at 450 PPI, and the X9 Pro goes up to 512GB of storage, where the Google Pixel 9a tops out at 256GB. Get the X9 Pro if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the Pixel 9a covers the basics for less.
The Pixel 9a is the cheaper one to own: around £411 over a typical contract, £490 less than the X9 Pro.
