Oppo Find X9 Ultra beats Nothing Phone 4a Pro to win the 2026 smartphone World Cup for China.
A 16-country smartphone knockout begins with Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra, Lava Agni 4, Crosscall and other national representatives. Samsung advances over Sony on camera reliability, while Lava beats Turkey’s nearly $1,000 rebranded phone at $316; France’s rugged Crosscall and China’s Oppo Find X9 Ultra also progress. In later rounds, Fairphone Gen 6 stands out for repairability, recycled materials, a five-year warranty and seven years of Android upgrades, while Nothing’s Phone 4a Pro beats Google’s Pixel 10 Pro XL on value. Oppo defeats Samsung in the semifinal with a camera the presenter calls decisively better and a battery lasting about four hours longer. Nothing reaches the final, but Oppo’s flagship performance and ambition to push smartphone technology forward earn China the 2026 title.
