Title: After 1900 days, finally got a new smartphone!
Post by: Lavanya on Mar 28, 2026, 01:04 AM
This Oppo Find X9 Pro ( ), which I now own, is supposed to be the last piece in Delhi NCR lol. I'd been eyeing this phone since Feb 2026 but was waiting for my sibling's salary credit :P, so I waited till end of March. I knew prices would jump in April because the quarter changes. So I went to Vijay Sales on 25th March and talked to the sales rep there; he said Oppo isn't sending any stock anywhere and it's out of stock in all Vijay Sales across Delhi NCR. I checked another Vijay Sales just to be sure – same story. They told me the price could rise anywhere between 10k to 20k. But somehow I managed to get it from a Reliance Digital store. They arranged it from Noida. So relieved. Also my Realme 7 Pro lasted me over 5 years, honestly, through college and all my trips. Such a great mid‑ranger. It even survived severe custom ROM flashing, hard brick, soft brick etc. because of me, but it still works fine (so now I'll sell it on Cashify).

PS – VS, Croma, Reliance Digital all seem out of stock now. Even online, Flipkart shows out of stock, Amazon shows only 1 piece left. Kismat thi bhai, mil gaya.

Haha, the price‑rise tactic is a classic salesman move, and you fell for it, I'm afraid. Recently, after the S26 Ultra launched, I went to get the S25 Ultra. They were still selling it at its original MRP (1.3 L). When I asked the guy when it would get cheaper, he told me, no joke, I should buy it right away because the previous‑generation phone was supposedly going to rise above its launch MRP.

Bro, my first phone was the Realme 7 Pro and I've switched four phones since then, lol. I need your discipline.

Looks like the most premium phone – Silk White.
