OPPO Find X9 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge
Our Verdict: There's more battery in the OPPO Find X9 Ultra, 7050mAh to 3900mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is the lighter phone at 163g against 235g. Only pay up for the X9 Ultra if you'll use what it offers; if not, the S25 Edge makes more sense.
The S25 Edge is the cheaper one to own: around £708 over a typical contract, £613 less than the X9 Ultra.
