The OPPO Find 9 is a unicorn
The OPPO Find series was one that turned our heads towards China back some two or three years. It showed us how a Chinese company can nail appealing hardware design and even pull a few software tricks to impress us. Since the Find 7’s release nearly three years ago, though, we’ve been waiting upon something bigger, better and more exciting, something with a Snapdragon 820 in it. That never happened.
Rumors have recently redoubled over the potential launch of a Find 9 next March with a Snapdragon 835 in tow. It will never happen. Or so people say.
One Qualcomm staffer stated on Weibo that the rumors surrounding the Find 9 are just those: rumors. In one post, he discredits one rumormonger who has been calling out that the phone would feature the Snapdragon 820, then the 821 and now the 835. Analyst Pan Jiutang concurred in the quelling of sirens, telling his followers in no uncertain terms that people should move onto the OnePlus 3T or the vivo Xplay6.
OPPO and vivo, funnily enough, are owned by BBK Electronics, a Chinese company that also has strong interests in OnePlus.

Oppo Find 9 rumored for September 19 coming-out party in Beijing
While the Oppo R7 Plus, recently unveiled for the Western hemisphere, left a “huge” first impression on one of our strictest reviewers, it’s no use trying to pretend like the 6-inch 1,080p handheld is a flagship. The middling (by high-end standards) Snapdragon 615 SoC renders the impressive 3GB RAM null and void, and a 13MP rear-facing camera isn’t really enough for a place near the top of ...
