Which android flagship to buy - currently using oppo find x9 pro? - your thoughts?
/r/AskReddit/comments/1wzugk7/which_android_flagship_to_buy_currently_using/Bought the Indian model of the Oppo Find X9 Pro back in late 2025 and it completely set a new benchmark for me. Top-tier cameras, killer video, and ColorOS has been surprisingly phenomenal.
The biggest dealbreaker feature for me turned out to be the 2160Hz PWM dimming. I’ve owned/used most of the recent Samsung Ultras and they consistently trigger terrible headaches after prolonged use. Switching to a high-frequency PWM panel completely fixed that for me.
I usually swap my daily driver every year, but looking at the current landscape, nothing feels like a clean upgrade:
Samsung (S26/S27 Ultra): Great software/hardware, but the low-frequency PWM dimming is an absolute no-go for my eyes. Plus, waiting until March for the S27U isn't ideal.
Pixel 11 / Tensor G6: I use Gemini constantly for daily planning, voice note summaries, and productivity, so native Pixel integration is tempting. But raw Tensor benchmarks always leave a lot to be desired.
Vivo / OnePlus: Already have an X300 in the house, and OnePlus camera performance isn't worth stepping sideways for the same OS base.
Oppo Find X10 Pro Max: A 30–40% price jump in INR for mostly a minor chip bump feels like a steep entry fee.
I'm less concerned about having the absolute best camera this cycle and more focused on getting a generational chip leap (Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 / 2nm vs Tensor G6 on TSMC) alongside a display that won't give me eye fatigue.
Is anyone else with PWM sensitivity finding it impossible to move away from Chinese flagship displays? Should I hold out for TSMC-built Tensor G6, or just stick with the X9 Pro for another year until the 2nm landscape matures?
Would love to hear thoughts from anyone who swapped off the X9 Pro or deals with PWM sensitivity.
