OPPO F9
KUALA LUMPUR: OPPO launched the latest product F9 in Malaysia, making it the sixth generation of OPPO F series, equipped features such as fast charging, dual rear cameras, and gradient appearance.
For the first time in OPPO’s smartphone series, OPPO F9 ships with VOOC Flash Charge. This technology, independently developed by OPPO, has a charging speed which is four times faster than general charging at 5V1A. For those in a hurry, a quick five-minute charge is enough to maintain two hours of talk time.
In addition to increasing the charging speed by four times, VOOC also boasts an intelligent five-layer protection system from the adaptor to the port and interior of the phone.
VOOC has replaced the voltage reducing circuit with a MCU, effectively preventing the mobile phone from overheating while charging, making VOOC a cool fast charging tech. The phone can also be used while maintaining the same fast charging speed, which high voltage fast charge cannot do.
OPPO F9 also comes in three gradient colour combinations – Sunrise Red, Twilight Blue and Starry Purple.
The Gradient Spraying Technology and ‘Frame Gradient’ tech used by OPPO provides a combination of gradient design on the back and the user a more unified viewing experience.
In the sunlight, the F9 shines like a crystal gem and flowing water in motion. The colour design aesthetics of the OPPO F9 reflects both OPPO’s design ideology and insights into what aesthetics appeals to young consumers around the globe.
Another prominent design upgrade in this model is the Waterdrop Screen, which is inspired by a water drop that is about to fall.
The F9 comes with an impressive 6.3-inch bezel-less screen that features a resolution of 2,340 x 1,080 FHD+ and an aspect ratio of 19.5:9, a super-high screen-to-body ratio of 90.8 per cent.
Another first for OPPO’s F series is the AI-enhanced dual rear cameras (16MP + 2MP). The cooperation of the two cameras helps the processor calculate the depth of field and achieve a great Bokeh effect.
When it comes to shooting with the rear camera, F9 is equipped with dual cameras to catch every moment. The AI Scene can recognise 16 independent and 800 combined scenes.
OPPO F9’s 25MP front-facing camera also does not disappoint as it has been re-invented with ‘Sensor-HDR’ technology which dramatically improves backlight Selfies and allows users to check high dynamic exposure live effects in real-time.
The AI Beauty Technology can also provide users with eight million of different beautification effects in that personalised – selfies are more attractive while keeping the natural look of each human subject.
Based on Android 8.1, OPPO brings the ColourOS 5.2 Operating System to create a smarter interactive experience for users.
The F9 is also equipped with the Google Lens that can identify the object and show relevant search results and information.
When it comes to hardware, the 6GB + 64GB memory combination improves the speed of operation. F9 also support 256GB memory expansion.
OPPO F9 will be available to pre-order from today onwards either offline at OPPO official concept stores and autorised dealer stores or online at the OPPO Official website and OPPO’s e-commerce partners’ sites such as Lazada, 11Street and Shopee.
