Vivo wins on value: Lower pricing, 16GB RAM, and a brighter 4,500-nit display make it the stronger all-round package.
OPPO wins on zoom: Its dedicated 10x optical telephoto camera gives it a major advantage for distant subjects.
Both deliver flagship performance: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 keeps performance competitive, leaving cameras, battery and price as the main differentiators.
The Vivo X300 Ultra and OPPO Find X9 Ultra sit at the top of the Android phone market, yet each takes a different path. Vivo focuses on camera detail, video tools, display quality and a large memory option. OPPO puts more weight on zoom reach, battery size and camera range. Both phones use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, so the real fight starts with the camera, screen, battery and price.
The Vivo X300 Ultra costs Rs. 1,59,999 in India for the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage model. The OPPO Find X9 Ultra costs Rs. 1,69,999 for 12GB RAM and 512GB storage. That gives Vivo a Rs. 10,000 price advantage, along with 4GB extra RAM.
Both phones offer top-level hardware, so the lower price gives the Vivo model a clear edge. The extra RAM also suits users who keep many apps open or want more space for heavy tasks. Neither phone makes a major sacrifice in core performance, since both rely on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip.
The Vivo X300 Ultra has a 6.82-inch 2K AMOLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate. Its peak brightness reaches 4,500 nits, which gives it an advantage over the OPPO model for outdoor use and HDR content.
The Find X9 Ultra also has a 6.82-inch QHD+ LTPO AMOLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate. OPPO lists peak brightness at 3,600 nits. Both screens should offer sharp text, smooth motion and rich colors, but Vivo takes the lead on maximum brightness.
That difference matters most for outdoor use. A brighter panel can keep text and images easier to see under strong light, while the 144Hz rate keeps motion smooth during games and menu use.
Camera hardware creates the biggest gap between these two phones. Vivo gives the X300 Ultra a 200MP main camera with a 1/1.12-inch sensor and an f/1.85 aperture. It also has a 200MP telephoto camera with an 85mm focal length and about 3.7x optical reach.
The OPPO Find X9 Ultra also has a 200MP main camera with a 1/1.12-inch sensor, but its wider f/1.5 aperture gives the main lens a different approach. A 200MP 3x telephoto camera adds another focal length, while a 50MP 10x optical telephoto camera reaches 230mm.
That 10x optical lens gives OPPO a major advantage for far-away subjects. Wildlife, stage events and distant details can benefit from the extra reach. OPPO also claims up to 20x optical-quality zoom and 120x digital zoom.
Vivo has a stronger case for portraits and video tools. Its ZEISS camera setup covers 35mm, 14mm and 85mm focal lengths, while the company adds 4K 120fps Dolby Vision and Log video support. Vivo also offers 60fps autofocus tracking for photos.
Battery size gives OPPO another clear win. The Find X9 Ultra has a 7,050mAh battery, while the X300 Ultra has a 6,600mAh cell. Both phones support 100W wired charging, but OPPO raises wireless charging support to 50W against Vivo’s 40W.
The larger OPPO battery should appeal to heavy phone users, travellers and people who spend long hours on games, video or camera work. Vivo still offers strong endurance on paper, but OPPO has the bigger power reserve.
The two models share the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, so raw speed does not create a clear winner. Vivo adds 16GB RAM, while OPPO offers 12GB in the Indian 512GB model.
Vivo also carries IP68 and IP69 protection, which adds extra resistance against water and dust. OPPO focuses more on its camera system and battery capacity.

The Vivo X300 Ultra makes the stronger overall choice. Its Rs. 1,59,999 price, 16GB RAM, 4,500-nit display and strong ZEISS camera setup create a better balance of features. Its video tools also make the phone attractive for users who care about advanced camera control.
The OPPO Find X9 Ultra makes more sense for camera fans who want maximum zoom reach. Its 10x optical telephoto lens stands out, while the 7,050mAh battery and 50W wireless charging add further value.
The choice therefore comes down to priorities. Vivo offers the better value package, while OPPO offers the more ambitious zoom system. For a balanced flagship experience at a lower price, the Vivo X300 Ultra gets the stronger verdict.
