OPPO FIND X9 ULTRA

[TheSkaMan]

I find it quite disappointing that EE has not stocked the Oppo Find X9 Ultra, especially considering their supposed partnership with Oppo to market their devices. It appears that the only places to purchase this phone in the UK are either the official Oppo UK store, Currys, or Carphone Warehouse, predominantly through an ID contract with the Three mobile service. Consequently, I am contemplating leaving EE. EE's selection of high-end phones has become increasingly uninteresting. Customers seem to be confined to the ecosystems of either Samsung or Apple, leaving us with limited options for premium devices. Now, when a worthy alternative emerges, they fail to carry it. While they offer other Oppo models, they do not seem to prioritize this one despite its global release, for reasons that remain unclear. Therefore, I have decided to switch from EE to acquire the Oppo Find X9 Ultra elsewhere through ID and the Three network.

Hi @TheSkaMan 

It is still pre order in the UK. 

You can register interest for new handsets here: https://ee.co.uk/new-at-ee

Ultimately like any retailer EE will sell handsets people demand and if there is no demand or low demand it maybe that you'll need to buy your handset separately. I have done this for years.

Thanks

Hi @Jordancassells 

Although we don't have any information around stocking the Oppo Find X9, we do have a wide range of phones on offer that you can find on our mobile phones web page.

Why is this marked as a soloution, its solved nothing, you simply sent people to a generic page where you have to hunt to even find where to register interest .. and im still looking.
Im with the OP, the options available on EE now are terrible.

What gives, do EE get some kind of commission from apple and samsung to push competitors out.
The last few years other brands have come out with far better phones than samsung or apple and EE have just point blank refused to stock them, even on their website its all apple or samsung and if you want any kind of other brand you have to hunt for it.
They claim that its because thats what the majority of their customer want, no, its because thats what they push at the customers giving them little choice but to take apple of samsung wether they want it or not because the other brands are hidden behind seperate small links on the main pages.

I struggled to find a suitable upgrade on here last time as I dont like either apple or samsung and now im due an upgrade again the choices are even worse so as the OP said i think it may be time to part ways with EE.
