Oppo has re-entered India’s ultra-premium smartphone category with the Dimensity 9400 SoC-powered Find X8 series. The most premium iteration in the series is the Find X8 Pro (Review), which is priced at Rs 99,999. This price pits it against notable contenders, including the Google Pixel 9 Pro (Review) powered by the Tensor G4 SoC. Both smartphones have front camera and AI. While the pair offers 16GB of RAM, the Find X8 Pro offers more inbuilt storage.
How do the two work against each other? Here is a detailed performance comparison between OPPO Find X8 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro.
geekbench
In Geekbench’s single- and multi-core tests, the Oppo Find The scores show that the former’s CPU will handle basic (app loading, texting and browsing) and demanding (editing and gaming) tasks more efficiently.
The big difference in scores can be attributed to the Dimensity 9400 SoC’s new CPU cluster, which includes an updated Cortex-X925 performance core clocked at 3.62GHz. The Tensor G4 has a Cortex-X4 clocked at 3.1GHz.
real life context: While both smartphones offer responsive performance, the Oppo Find During the Geekbench testing, we did not face any heating or crashing issues on both the smartphones.
winner: Oppo Find X8 Pro
AnTuTu
Like Geekbench, the AnTuTu benchmark app evaluates CPU performance, although it also takes into account GPU and memory. The OPPO Find X8 Pro is ahead of the Pixel 9 Pro by a wide margin. If we look at individual parameters, the Dimensity 9400 SoC-powered Find
For reference, the Dimensity 9400 SoC uses a 3nm manufacturing process, while the Tensor G4 SoC uses a 4nm manufacturing process. This allows the former to be more power and energy-efficient.
real life context: As mentioned, the Oppo Find X8 Pro feels faster in everyday use. While the Pixel 9 Pro delivered lag-free performance during our review, the Find X8 Pro handled multi-tasking faster.

cpu throttle
As the workload increases, the CPU is throttled to reduce overheating and protect the hardware. We used the Burnout app to test the peak performance of the CPU under severe workloads.
Again, the Oppo Find X8 Pro showed its superiority, displaying about 51 percent stability at peak performance. The Google Pixel 9 Pro showed 38.8 percent stability in the Burnout app stress test.
real world context: As I mentioned in my review, the Pixel 9 Pro feels hot during rigorous tasks. Although the increased temperature did not affect performance, some users may find it worrisome. In contrast, the Find X8 Pro remained mostly good when handling the same workload.
winner: Oppo Find X8 Pro
Gambling
As of now, OPPO Find X8 is ahead of Pixel 9 Pro in synthetic benchmarks. Let’s see how both perform in real life, such as playing challenging titles.
Our gaming test involves running three popular titles: BGMI, Call of Duty and Real Racing 3, for 30 minutes each. We will evaluate which smartphone offers smoother graphics and also consider thermal efficiency.
| game | oppo find x8 pro | google pixel 9 pro |
| call of duty mobile | 59 fps average | 60 fps average |
| real racing 3 | 60 fps average | 120 fps average |
| bgmi | 39 fps average | 30 fps average |
At the end of the round, the Oppo Find X8 Pro offered better FPS in BGMI. The Pixel 9 Pro offered slightly better FPS in COD Mobile, but it’s a far cry in Real Racing 3. Readers should note that Real Racing 3 automatically adjusts the frame rate based on the phone’s graphics. Since the Pixel 9 Pro offers lower mid-range visuals than the OPPO Find X8 Pro (known as graphics fidelity), the overall gameplay may seem smoother.

| COD Mobile | real racing 3 | bgmi | |
| oppo find x8 pro | 7.3 | 5.4 | 6.5 |
| google pixel 9 pro | 8.1 | 9.9 | 5.9 |
On the other hand, the Find X8 Pro handles thermals quite efficiently.
real world context: As mentioned, the Pixel 9 Pro does get hot during rigorous tasks, which was noticeable during gaming. For gaming, I prefer the Find X8 Pro’s display size, and it also delivers sharp audio output, according to our lab tests.
winner: Oppo Find X8 Pro
decision
While the Pixel 9 Pro offers a clean Android OS and nifty AI features to improve daily productivity, the OPPO Find X8 Pro emerges as the better performer. The first one with the new Dimensity 9400 SoC achieved very high numbers in all benchmarks.
Please note that the Pixel 9 Pro still performs reliably, and it may be difficult to notice the difference in everyday use. However, Google phones experience heating issues, which may require software optimization to address.
