OPPO Find X9 vs Samsung Galaxy XCover 7
Our Verdict: The OPPO Find X9 packs the bigger battery, 7025mAh against 4050mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the X9 goes up to 512GB of storage, where the Samsung Galaxy XCover 7 tops out at 128GB. The X9 has the sharper display at 460 PPI to 400, and the X9 uses an OLED panel, which gives it richer contrast than the Galaxy XCover 7's LCD. Only pay up for the X9 if you'll use what it offers; if not, the Galaxy XCover 7 makes more sense.
Over a full contract, the Galaxy XCover 7 works out around £380 all-in, about £437 less than the X9.
