OPPO Find X9 vs Samsung Galaxy S25
Our Verdict: The OPPO Find X9 came out in 2025, after the Samsung Galaxy S25 in 2025, so it's the more recent phone. The X9 has the bigger battery of the two, 7025mAh against 4000mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the X9 has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.6" against 6.2" and sharper at 460 PPI. The S25 is the lighter phone at 162g against 203g. Only pay up for the X9 if you'll use what it offers; if not, the S25 makes more sense.
The S25 is the cheaper one to own: around £603 over a typical contract, £221 less than the X9.
