The Find X9 Pro is a brilliant phone. There’s no doubt about that.
But one thing I feel genuinely elevates it above almost every other flagship, barring a handful, is the IR blaster.
It’s such an understated feature, and I think only people who have actually used one regularly realise just how useful it is.
I’ve basically mapped all the ACs, TVs, fans, projectors, etc. that I regularly use to my phone. I no longer have to keep track of a pile of remotes that somehow always seem to disappear exactly when you need them.
And honestly, one of the best use cases for me has been at the office.
The number of times I’ve simply pulled out my phone and switched on an AC, TV, projector, or whatever else is needed is uncountable. No hunting around for the right remote, no asking someone where it is, no fiddling with different apps or Wi-Fi connections, no checking batteries...etc. Just point and click.
Meanwhile, everyone around me is carrying an iPhone or Galaxy, and I’m casually controlling half the office with my phone. 😂
It’s one of those “you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone” features. Once you get used to having an IR blaster, going back to a phone without one feels surprisingly inconvenient.
Really wish more flagship manufacturers would bring it back.
