The most interesting discovery (heh) is that the Canon Orange Edition actually has a plastic rear cover.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_9j e_8j\" data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t want to miss the best of <em>Android Authority<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_bm\"><picture class=\"e_fm e_gm e_Ig\" style=\"padding-top:31.51%;aspect-ratio:676 \/ 213\"><source sizes=\"9.375rem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png.webp 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png.webp 64w\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><\/picture><picture class=\"e_fm e_Ig\" style=\"padding-top:31.51%;aspect-ratio:676 \/ 213\"><source sizes=\"9.375rem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png.webp 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png.webp 64w\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><img class=\"e_Jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"Google Preferred Source Badge Dark@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"Google Preferred Source Badge Dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p>However, the plastic rear cover has several advantages. It won&#8217;t shatter or shatter like glass, and it&#8217;s usually lighter than glass. However, the phone costs ~$2,000 in the UK and Europe. So we can understand if some people are upset with this decision and want Oppo to use more premium materials for this variant. Me? I&#8217;m perfectly happy with the plastic back, as long as it looks and feels good.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_-j\">\n<div class=\"e_ck e_bt\">\n<h3 class=\"e_et\">Do you care that premium flagship phones have plastic backs?<\/h3>\n<p>23 votes<\/p>\n<div class=\"e_gt e_kk\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"e_ht\"><\/p>\n<p>Yes, I wouldn&#8217;t buy a flagship with a plastic back<\/p>\n<p>30<!-- -->%<\/p>\n<p><\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"e_ht\"><\/p>\n<p>It depends on the look and feel<\/p>\n<p>9<!-- -->%<\/p>\n<p><\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"e_ht\"><\/p>\n<p>no, i don&#8217;t care<\/p>\n<p>61<!-- -->%<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p>Luckily, the Find X9 Ultra is also available in Tundra Amber variant. This option replaces the plastic rear cover with a metal-and-fin design. Yes, pleather is still technically plastic, but it offers a different look and feel than regular plastic or polycarbonate backs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p>Otherwise, the Oppo phone passed the channel bend test brilliantly. We also saw the expected scratches on the display at level six on the Mohs hardness scale, while notches appeared at level seven. So it looks like the Find X9 Ultra excels on the durability front. But do you really expect anything else for ~$2,000?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p>The Find X9 Ultra brings a powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, a 7,050mAh battery, and arguably the most impressive camera hardware of 2026. It includes a 200MP Sony LYT-901 main camera, a 200MP 3x telephoto camera (1\/1.28-inch sensor size), a 50MP ultrawide camera, and a 50MP 10x periscope camera. The best part is that this phone is available in global markets after the previous Find Ultra device was limited to China.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_pd e_D\">\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our community.
