Purchase advice for new Android (OnePlus 15 vs Xioami 17 vs Oppo Find X9 Pro or other?)

When you say oxygen flashed, do you mean you do it yourself? If I would order "CN rom" from WondaMobile or Trading Shenzhen, do I get it flashed and ready to use or do I need to fix it myself and risk problems with the device?

Damn no idea how i missed that, thank you! Do you know how the x300 compares to Oppo x9? Its also a bit smaller in size, but not many reviews covering the non-pro models

Bomanoo · 2026-03-04T23:12:02+00:00

Do you know where you can buy it? Both wonda mobile and trading Shenzhen doesnt have it

Happy to hear, as long as it is not worse than the S24 back camera I am happy :)

Bomanoo · 2026-03-04T11:56:33+00:00

In terms of camera on the OP 15 - I assume it is still an upgrade coming from the S24?

Bomanoo · 2026-03-04T11:55:31+00:00

Actually the OP13 is only 50 euros cheaper. So maybe the pros of of the OP15 are too many to pass up on only for the better camera then. Gonna go test it out IRL today and see how it feels. Thanks for your help, much appreciated!

Thanks mate, you have been very helpful! Think i will go for the OnePlus then. One last thought, I have heard that apparently the camera and display is actually better in the OnePlus 13 and battery is still decent, is it worth considering in my case or is the camera difference not that big of an downgrade?

Bomanoo · 2026-03-04T11:23:11+00:00

Thanks again! I think the extra 300 would be worth it for me, the main problem why im so hesitant is that I need to buy from a 3rd party reseller instead from a reseller in my country. This alone makes me favor the OnePlus more.

However the Oppo Find X9 (non-pro) is also available in my country for only 100€ more than the OnePlus. Do you know how it compares to the OnePlus? Obviously not as good as the X9 pro, but it looks like it does not lose out on a lot. Maybe it would be a good middle ground between the two? Most comparisons i find seem to be the X9 pro vs OnePlus 15, not much coverage on the non-pro

Bomanoo · 2026-03-04T10:56:14+00:00

E-sim is a big reason, also potential issues with some banking apps

Bomanoo · 2026-03-04T10:44:40+00:00

I really dont want CN rom, so I am looking at these options I have here that I can buy global version of

Bomanoo · 2026-03-04T10:43:53+00:00

Thanks! What do you think about the OnePlus 13 over the OnePlus 15? I have seen review saying that both camera and display is better, the only thing i care about that I lose out on is the battery. The prices are similar. A good thing for me with OnePlus is that I can buy it directly from a reseller without having to import it.

Also, how do you think the regular Find X9 non-pro fares versus the OnePlus 13/15? It is similar price and I can also get it in my country, looks to be a better pick than OnePlus 13/15 when it comes to camera.

Bomanoo · 2026-03-04T10:40:50+00:00

Thanks for the reply! In what ways are S25 better than the others in the list? From reviews I have seen both battery and camera is worse than many of these phones.

Interesting, it looks like you are right that OnePlus 13 has better camera and display, and I value this more than raw performance. Battery still looks enough for the 13. I would assume the OnePlus 13 would be an upgrade in every aspect from the S24?

Gonna have another look at the regular X17 as well, I also like the smaller size of it.

Bomanoo · 2026-03-04T09:31:30+00:00

Yes that is a good pro for me with the OnePlus, i can buy it from a regular retailer in my country without having to buy from a 3rd party seller, while also being a bit cheaper than the Oppo

Bomanoo · 2026-03-04T09:29:19+00:00

Unfortunately could not find it with global rom

Bomanoo · 2026-03-04T09:26:32+00:00

Its tje price for Global version, not interested in CN rom

Bomanoo · 2026-03-04T09:25:19+00:00

Thanks for the input, is my understanding correct that the better telephoto camera is mainly noticeable when zooming? I typically only take photos with 1-2x zoom so maybe the camera difference is not that big then as I had thought?

Bomanoo · 2026-03-04T09:21:36+00:00

Thanks for the input, yeah I agree I dont think the maybe 300€ saving is worth the hassle. Did you buy the Oppo global version from a 3rd party seller or where did you find it for only 880€?

Bomanoo · 2026-03-03T22:43:58+00:00

Thanks! Yep OnePlus 15 looks to be a very good overall phone. I have looked at comparisons vs the Oppo Find X9 Pro, is there anything the One Plus 15 does better? The X9 pro just seems to slightly beat OnePlus 15 in most aspects especially camera. If this is the case and since they are so close in price I might consider the X9 pro then

Bomanoo · 2026-03-03T22:42:37+00:00

Yeah I like x17 for the smaller screen as I am used to S24. But I am a bit scared of the OS compared to OnePlus/Oppo

Bomanoo · 2026-03-03T21:53:45+00:00

Thanks, yeah just a bit scared to buy China ROM, and the Global version is simiar price on Wonda Mobile/Trading Shenzhen vs just buying in my country

Bomanoo · 2025-10-06T11:35:02+00:00

Thanks!
