OPPO Find X9 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy S25 FE
Our Verdict: The OPPO Find X9 Ultra leads on camera hardware with a 200MP main sensor to the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE's 50MP, plus a 50MP selfie camera against 12MP, and the X9 Ultra has the bigger battery of the two, 7050mAh against 4900mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The X9 Ultra has the sharper display at 510 PPI to 385, and the S25 FE is the lighter phone at 190g against 235g. Get the X9 Ultra if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the S25 FE covers the basics for less.
Over a full contract, the S25 FE works out around £574 all-in, about £747 less than the X9 Ultra.
