OPPO Find X9 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy S25 FE
Our Verdict: The OPPO Find X9 Ultra is the newer of the two, a 2026 release against the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE's 2025. The X9 Ultra has the better camera on paper, 200MP versus 50MP, plus a 50MP selfie camera against 12MP, and there's more battery in the X9 Ultra, 7050mAh to 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. The X9 Ultra is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the S25 FE is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.
Over a full contract, the S25 FE works out around £584 all-in, about £654 less than the X9 Ultra.
