According to GSM Arena, Oppo launched the Find X9 and Find X9 Pro in China in mid-October before their global rollout toward the end of the month. The company now offers dedicated one-on-one support and exclusive priority service at Oppo service centers for Find X9 series buyers in international markets. This premium service is available in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Mexico through platforms like WhatsApp, Line, and Zalo. The service butlers average over five years of experience serving premium phone users and guarantee responses within twelve hours by connecting directly with Oppo engineers. They can schedule service center appointments, arrange pick-up and delivery repairs, and proactively share system upgrade schedules and practical tips.

The premium service play
Oppo‘s basically trying to compete where Apple has traditionally dominated – the premium experience. While Apple has Genius Bars and appointment systems, Oppo’s going for something more personal. A dedicated butler who knows your device history? That’s pretty ambitious for an Android manufacturer. The twelve-hour response guarantee is particularly interesting – that’s faster than most tech support I’ve dealt with. But here’s the thing: is this just a marketing gimmick, or will it actually solve the pain points that premium smartphone users face?
What Oppo’s really after
Look, this isn’t just about customer service – it’s about brand positioning. Oppo wants to be seen as a true premium competitor, not just another Android manufacturer. By offering white-glove treatment, they’re trying to justify those higher price tags. The service is currently available in select markets where premium Android competition is fierce. It’s a smart move, honestly. In markets where everyone’s hardware specs look similar, service differentiation could be the deciding factor for buyers choosing between competing flagship devices.
What this means for buyers
For actual users, this could be genuinely useful if executed well. Having a single point of contact who knows your device history? That beats dealing with different support agents every time. The proactive update notifications and tips could help users get more from their devices. But I’m skeptical about scalability. How personal can this service remain as more people buy these phones? And what happens when your dedicated butler leaves the company? Still, it’s a step in the right direction for Android customer service, which has traditionally been… let’s say inconsistent.
The service arms race
This move could pressure other Android manufacturers to up their service game. We’ve seen specs and camera quality become increasingly similar across flagship devices. Now service and support might become the next battleground. But Oppo needs to deliver consistently – one bad experience could undermine the whole premium positioning. The real test will be whether this service expands beyond the initial markets and whether Oppo can maintain the quality as user numbers grow. Because let’s be honest – nothing kills a premium experience faster than feeling like just another ticket number.
