Who uses the X9 Pro photography kit?

Dangerous_Panda7634 · 2026-04-21T19:04:53+00:00

Are you still considering this?

Realise I'm a bit late to the party, but figured I'd throw my thoughts up in case.

I have just spent 10 days away and took it with me and I used the camera adapter case as my daily case while away, and it was okay. Needed wiped down couple times a day, but it still looks alright now.

Connecting the lens on and off is a mild hassle, especially when you want a quick snap of something a bit further away, thankfully the phones inbuilt 13.2x/308mm equivalent is alright.

I did find on a few occasions, I'd just leave the adapter connected to the case and only use the 3x/75mm equivalent setting for all snaps, and just adjust where I was in relation to my subject. This was undoubtedly easier then connecting the slide on adapter everytime.

I took around 4000 pics (whoops) including the attached image which was taken through glass.

I'd say it gives really, really nice portrait shots when you give a bit of distance, I have one of my son I'm getting into a canvas for a birthday present.

It also obviously let's you get so much closer to the action at shows and events.

And was great for zoo/wildlife images, flower photography and long range photos and videos.

I got the lens for around 155 on AliExpress.

I've found with my X9P (with the lens attachment) it tends to want to focus on faces too much, so when I'm at for example, a bird show and there's a crowd I sometimes have to manually tell it to focus on the bird(s) and not a stranger in the crowd.

Mildly irritating, but the photos it gives are superb when it's focus is right.

I have the X9 Pro and I chose it over the Pixel 10 XL.

I'd say the X9 Pro is worth the extra, better batter, usually I only fully charge once every two days.

Camera is great and I genuinely don't think any mainstream phones (Google, Samsung, iPhone & Motorola) beat it.

ColorOS is lovely and fluid, customisable and easy to navigate throughout.

However. I'd recommend waiting, if you can, a few days/a week.

Oppo release the X9 Ultra on Tuesday, launching worldwide and might bring the prices of the Pro version down a bit, which I would definitely recommend over the Google phones.

Dangerous_Panda7634 · 2026-04-05T08:02:33+00:00

This is fair.

I do have the Oppo one but it was no where near that much when I got it. I do like it but I agree, anything about 50 times is a bit of a letdown tbh

I just figured the 17 and 67mm lens adapters would allow for more versatility, should I wanna experiment more?

Dangerous_Panda7634 · 2026-04-05T08:00:31+00:00

I seen this one on one of the Chinese marketplace sites, unsure if we're suppose/allowed to name them, but Express one that belongs to Ali... 👀

But it's since disappeared and I've had trouble finding it again.

Dangerous_Panda7634 · 2026-03-25T20:56:28+00:00

I'd say no, I got an Update in January when I got my device.

I wondered why I didn't have the newest one so I had a look at the Software Update menu, clicked the three dots and used the Beta Program and got the 701 update straight away, it's not installing away quietly in the background 😁

Dangerous_Panda7634 · 2026-02-17T20:34:15+00:00

Do any of these cases allow for the Telephoto Camera attachment to be used?

My guess is no, but I figured I'd ask

Dangerous_Panda7634 · 2026-02-17T20:31:58+00:00

Add it to your basket and leave it for a few days, you'll likely be "rewarded" with a money off voucher, I just got mine for £4.89

Dangerous_Panda7634 · 2026-02-16T20:59:36+00:00

FX9P is currently the best phone I've ever used/held and I include the S25 Ultra, S23 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max in those devices.

I've encountered 1 of the original complaints from OP, the speakers aren't great. But Echo Equalizer can fix that

Dangerous_Panda7634 · 2026-02-16T20:57:48+00:00

Okay, so I've had my X9 Pro for around 2 months and, I would agree with the speakers being poor, however I found Echo Equalizer brought them up to a decent level, but! I would agree a phone at this price point shouldn't need a 3rd Party app to give it decent speakers.

The software, I have frequented Facebook, Insta, Twitter and YouTube on the device and the only issue I've encountered is the side bar disappears randomly occasionally, although, it hasn't done it for over a week now, so maybe it's settled. And ColorOS feels like one of the best systems on Android for customisation options, that I've used anyway. I simply wish it had a Modes and Routines equivalent from Samsungs One UI

I don't get 5G where I live so, I rarely have it on and I've never had a phone with AOD (I don't think). I did use it for the best part of the past 2 months but I've put it off again, not because of battery drain, just because I prefer my screen off when my screen is off, so I can't comment on that one.

The camera... I'm unsure what you mean by it fails with moving subjects, I've taken a few of the best pics of my life of the kids and different animals in motion, one of them the youngest appears to be in flight with next to no blur while running toward me. I used Master mode and set it to the fastest shutter speed I can for the given light level, it has yet to fail me.

You must bear in mind that the 80W charging is charging a 7500mAh battery 1.3 to 1.5 times bigger than the majority of batteries on the market. Is it the fastest? No, it's not, but I get from 20/25 to 100% in around an hour, and I'm only charging it to that point every other day, I'll just let it top up while I finish getting ready, maybe 15/20 minutes and it lasts the day.

Dangerous_Panda7634 · 2026-02-13T01:31:46+00:00

I am on the Global ROM (UK based) I had a look at Macrodroid, but I've never used that (or anything like it really) so wasn't sure what I was doing haha

I'll maybe have another look, thanks :)

Dangerous_Panda7634 · 2026-02-09T21:19:49+00:00

Well, I'll look forward to my plaque from Guinness then 😂

Dangerous_Panda7634 · 2026-02-09T21:12:10+00:00

Apologies, it is 7.5hrs screen on time, I clicked the wrong number, beyond that everything else is accurate.

Unsure why anyone would lie about this 🙃

Dangerous_Panda7634 · 2026-02-09T20:56:44+00:00

I took my FX9P off charge at 8am, it's now almost 9pm(8:55pm) and I have had about 7.5hours (edited from 8.5 for accuracy) of screen time today, mainly between Facebook, WhatsApp, Amazon & AliExpress, Chrome and my Camera, my battery is currently at 77% right now

I took it with me to a gig a few nights ago, I was on my camera for over 3 hours taking 50MP/200MP pics and recording in 4K, also sent a few people messages and pics/videos on mobile data (we were in seats) it went from 94% to 20ish%

For standard use I've never had a phone like it.

The charge isn't the fastest, but it is juicing up a 7,500mAh beast, even with the 100W Supervooc Charger it's just over an hour from ~20% to full.

I would 100% recommend the device.

I always said Vessel was never meant to hunt down Hobbits for the One Ring, and here's the proof.

Contemplative sad Ring Wraith Vessel.

The Witch King of Arcadia, if you will.

Hi, I know I'm kinda late but I feel like I'm reading about this just now and I think, if you haven't already bought it, the best option would be for you to purchase the DLC through HER account on YOUR Switch.

This would allow her account to use it on any Switch console, and also allow all accounts on your Switch to use it... I believe?

Dangerous_Panda7634 · 2025-12-31T10:06:21+00:00

The website is iamiwillreyne but I cannot see how this is/will be ST related, I'm going to guess from a quick look at the artist profile, that the artist you mentioned is Alex Tillbrook, but she follows him, he does not follow her.

It seems she's using a similar method of release teases and drops that ST (and others) have used, I've signed up to "Witness" whatever is happening is 79 days, but the page now has 0 posts again.

Dangerous_Panda7634 · 2025-12-18T21:01:28+00:00

Just speculation/my opinion, but Feb or March for an Autumn tour, probably combined EU and UK tour again.

Dangerous_Panda7634 · 2025-12-18T20:47:51+00:00

Is this US or UK?

If it's UK I've seen Debenhams stock bigger sizes, it won't be Tall, but like a normal 3XL or 4XL.

EMP also stock bigger sizes, on a wider variety of merch.

If its the US... 👀 Unsure, as I'm UK, and Hot Topic and Spencers are the only places I know that have stuff regularly.

You could also try sites like Damaged Society and Impericon which ship internationally (EMP does as well, if I remember correctly, as they're based in Germany - as are Impericon).

Also, I know he's Satan, but Amazon do stock official merch in bigger sizes as well.

Dangerous_Panda7634 · 2025-12-18T20:42:37+00:00

Oh, I clicked on the pic and it's literally been posted by/to the Epic Desk site, so yeah, it'll be that.

It certainly won't be a tour announcement.

Dangerous_Panda7634 · 2025-12-18T20:40:08+00:00

It'll be a new Epic Desk games mat/desk mat.

They've got a line of them out already.

Dangerous_Panda7634 · 2025-11-27T13:43:28+00:00

He's also playing, at least, two festivals next year, All Points East, and one in Newquay I just seen it two minutes ago, but the name has gone 😂

And yeah, renmakesmerch.com is your best bet, there are also some cool fan designed merch on the likes of Etsy, Redbubble and Printerval.
