After 1900 days, finally got a new smartphone!

[Lavanya]

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 , 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.

How much did it cost?

What was the final price?

Finally, how much did it cost?

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.

Congratulations, OP! Typing this from the same Realme model in the same colour.

Bhai, thoda ruk jaate, Ultra aane wala tha 30th March... Pro ka price aur gir jaata... Anyway, it's a great phone; hope you don't do heavy gaming ✌️.

Nice choice. I saw the phone in the store – it's beautiful. Congrats on your new purchase; may you capture many great photos with it.
