So the prices for Oppo's latest flagships, the Find X9 and Find X9 Pro, just leaked in India. And let me tell you, they're not cheap. The base model Find X9 is rumored to start at around ₹49,990 (that's roughly $680 USD), while the Pro model will allegedly cost a whopping ₹64,990 (around $880 USD).
Now, I know what you're thinking - those prices are a bit steeper than expected, especially considering the competition in the Indian market. I mean, you can get a decent flagship from Samsung or One Plus for similar prices.
But here's the thing: Oppo's Find series has always been about premium features and design. Think of it like a luxury car - you're paying for the brand reputation, the sleek design, and the promise of a top-notch user experience. And let's be real, if you're in the market for a high-end phone, you're probably willing to pay a premium for it.
I'll give Oppo credit where credit is due: their Find series has been consistently well-received in the past, with many reviewers (including yours truly) praising their sleek designs, impressive cameras, and snappy performance. So if you're an Oppo fanboy, you might be willing to shell out the extra cash for the latest and greatest.
But for everyone else, the question remains: are these prices justified? I mean, what exactly are you getting for your money here? A slightly better camera? A slightly faster processor? Don't get me wrong, those are great features and all, but are they worth an extra ₹10,000 or ₹20,000?
I remember when Samsung first launched the Galaxy S6 Edge, and everyone was wowed by its sleek glass design and fancy features. But when the prices came out, people were shocked - it was like they were asking you to take out a second mortgage just to own one. And let's be real, the Find X9 and X9 Pro are no Galaxy S6 Edge in terms of innovation. They're iterative updates, sure, but they're not exactly revolutionary.
Now, I'm not saying the Find X9 and X9 Pro are bad phones - far from it. They'll likely be solid choices for anyone looking for a premium Android experience. But at these prices? I'm just not convinced they're worth the extra cash.
So what do you think? Are you willing to shell out top dollar for the Oppo Find X9 or X9 Pro? Or will you be waiting for the next big thing to come along?
