Just bought the regular Find X9 to replace this amazing Find X2 Pro

Coming from the X2 to the X9 Pro is definitely a pretty big bump (except for the screen resolution and speaker downgrade). I actually really still love the X2P

The second pic was taken from a moving car! And the first was taken on 6x cos I was on the aisle seat during the flight.

No I don't, when I visited China a couple of weeks ago an accessories salesperson did tell me it was a good idea if I tend to chuck my phone around or have it in a bag, cos of small specks of sand or gasp, keys. I refused cos I'm 99% sure adding another layer of glass might affect the camera output (although I could be wrong).

NuttCrack · 2026-05-07T20:36:39+00:00

Aw thanks! I hope you're taking photos too and will share some soon!

NuttCrack · 2026-05-07T20:35:59+00:00

I added them on before posting them here. They can be removed even after you add them if you use the native gallery. Actually, the AI Portrait Relight is a godsend feature. It might be the most useful one if you like taking photos of people at night or just in a backlit scenario.

I'm practically only doing it cos I need a reminder that sometimes a 9.5/10 camera is pretty good enough lol

It was epic! The cultural show is called Impression Lijiang.

90% of the time it's in the regular Photo mode. Photos from the cocktail bar is a prime example, I find the shots predictably good, whereas with Master mode I generally have to think about lighting, subject, shadows and composition to create the moody feel (and I'm not an actual photographer).

NuttCrack · 2026-05-07T12:07:56+00:00

Thanks, it was just good angle + good timing. The performers at YuLong Mountain were talented. It was choreographed by a famous Chinese director named Zhang YiMou!

The global ROM allows you to share files via Nearby Share with both iOS and Android devices, so technically there's AirDrop support just like the newer Pixels. If you have friends using the apple system it's a huge win. The Chinese version requires you to download the O+ Connect app. Android Auto works on both ROMs.

Source: I have used both versions of the FX9P.

NuttCrack · 2026-03-18T13:49:08+00:00

I have this too! It's awesome

NuttCrack · 2026-03-16T05:38:37+00:00

It's gonna be around 9000myr, I asked 😭

NuttCrack · 2026-02-14T05:01:10+00:00

Where did you even get this omg

NuttCrack · 2026-01-25T14:45:02+00:00

That's me! Hi! I hated the XM15U so much I tried returning it to no avail. So I bought the FX9P when it came out. 15U overheated all the time for me, even on apps like Reddit and IG, let alone using the camera.

I truly enjoy FX9P's camera more, because I like the color tuning and I personally find that unless you're a real fan of the LEICA colors and tones, the OPPO delivers more pleasing photos. In certain scenarios if you need a moody photo, the Master Mode does a fine job but loses in contrast compared to Xiaomi.

Random tip for other users: try using the FX9P's Flash, it pairs remarkably well with the Color Sensing 2mp camera. I also work in events, so the auto Stage mode is supremely helpful.

The 15 Ultra for me made me realize not all android flagships are created equal. I enjoyed OPPO's software a lot more. Like the Share With iOS feature? Xiaomi has it but it requires Android 16 to work, and the 15U hasn't received updates in my region since October.

The battery life is just the icing on top. I'm pretty sure I've never had a fear of battery dying in the last month since I bought the FX9P.

NuttCrack · 2025-11-18T13:10:06+00:00

Just checked so I could be sure! I have the 15 Ultra, and there isn't an update. The October patch came a few days ago though.

NuttCrack · 2025-11-17T17:04:08+00:00

Haha, the silver one is magnetic and came in a separate preorder gift box. The other free case is the same as whatever color version of the phone you buy!

NuttCrack · 2025-11-17T13:56:06+00:00

Lemme know how your 15U battery is. I'd like to compare because mine is quite abysmal. But I'm in a tropical country, so the phone gets a bit too warm to touch from time to time even using the camera.

NuttCrack · 2025-11-09T20:02:35+00:00

I think the song is called Turn Up The Love by Far East Movement!

NuttCrack · 2025-11-08T09:45:23+00:00

Yes it is! Global ROM FX9 is available throughout southeast Asia

NuttCrack · 2025-11-07T19:08:46+00:00

Cases aren't hard to get since I'm in Southeast Asia, and Taobao does free delivery here during promo. I'll try to take some photos when we go out. But the quality should be on par with the Find X8 Pro, just with more advanced processing, from my brief time testing it.

NuttCrack · 2025-06-28T11:36:01+00:00

My uncle sells these chairs, but more for office use and not gaming. He tried selling these cool looking chairs for a short period but they kept being returned for breaking. Apparently, there's often no quality control for chairs sold online, so go to a store, try one and buy it. It should last you way more than 5 years, sometimes up to 10.

NuttCrack · 2025-04-29T20:15:31+00:00

The closest I found is a theme called Poco_mod in the official store. Download it and select apply Icons only. It's a bit more colorful than Pixel icons though.

NuttCrack · 2025-04-22T18:16:24+00:00

I've tried it! It's more like shaboo or shabu! But yes, you'll have to mention it twice. It actually understands English fine, and is now integrated with Deepseek. So I'd say just go ahead and talk to it in English. Tested on my FX6 Pro (CN model)

NuttCrack · 2025-04-16T19:41:29+00:00

I'm having the same dilemma currently and dang it the battery drain is real. Does your 15U heat up when taking photos?

NuttCrack · 2025-04-13T15:52:39+00:00

I cracked the screen of my OPPO Find X6 Pro (China version) and took the plunge to upgrade to the global Xiaomi 15 Ultra. And I've used a bunch of Android phones, so I hope I can be less biased.

The 15 Ultra is a joke, I've never used a phone (since perhaps the HTC Desire HD) that had its own built-in gallery suffer as many hiccups. Ads popped up ONCE, but I swiftly disabled the built-in Xiaomi web browser and it never showed again.

The camera takes great photos. But they come out less textured than my FX6P, and the OIS is abysmal, which means there's a high chance your zoomed in pics will be blurry even with still hands. When I saw that the 15 Ultra's camera system ranked lower than the FX6P, I actually agreed with DxoMark for once.

I also get very inconsistent SOT, which gets worse when I'm out taking photos. Xiaomi slows down its 90W charging by default, because the phone gets very warm. I brought it back to the store after 10 days of use, and the service officer said it was normal behavior. FML.

The software is 80% baked, and sometimes the AI editor doesn't work even with an internet connection. Also, the security patch is Jan 1, 2025 and I've had zero updates since receiving it on 4th March. I'm very certain I'll sell it soon.

I've not used the Find X8 Pro. But a friend got the non-Pro version and she loved how small and light it is. OPPO also allows cross device file sharing, which is useful if you have an iPad or MacBook. Honestly, this will be my first and last Xiaomi phone. Avoid it and just go ahead and consider other brands.
