OPPO Find X9 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy S24
Our Verdict: The OPPO Find X9 Ultra came out in 2026, after the Samsung Galaxy S24 in 2024, so it's the more recent phone. The X9 Ultra leads on camera hardware with a 200MP main sensor to the S24's 50MP, plus a 50MP selfie camera against 12MP, and the X9 Ultra packs the bigger battery, 7050mAh against 4000mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The X9 Ultra has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.8" against 6.2" and sharper at 510 PPI, and the X9 Ultra goes up to 512GB of storage, where the S24 tops out at 256GB. Only pay up for the X9 Ultra if you'll use what it offers; if not, the S24 makes more sense.
The S24 is the cheaper one to own: around £630 over a typical contract, £608 less than the X9 Ultra.
