Oppo F9 launched with 90% Screen to body ratio and AI Camera

Oppo F9 has been launched after some initial leaks and rumours. The new smartphone is the first handset by Oppo that features a V-shaped waterdrop display notch - unlike the traditional rectangular display notch. Also, there is a thin-bezel display that offers a 90.8 percent screen-to-body ratio.

The Oppo F9 is powered by a MediaTek Helio P60 SoC and comes with two different RAM options. Alongside the F9, Oppo is nowadays in the rumours for preparing the launch of the Oppo F9 Pro. While the F9 Pro is set to debut in India on August 21, specifications of the upcoming handset have now surfaced through a sales pitch note. The leaked note suggests that the F9 Pro could be the India variant of the F9. The handset is rumoured to come with the VOOC integration for fast charging support and a 6.3 display with the V-shaped waterdrop notch design identical to the Oppo F9.

The dual-SIM (Nano) Oppo F9 runs ColorOS 5.2 based on Android 8.1 Oreo and features a 6.3-inch full-HD+ (1080x2340 pixels) LTPS TFT display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. There is a MediaTek Helio P60 SoC under the hood, coupled with ARM Mali-G72 MP3 GPU and 4GB as well as 6GB RAM options. For capturing images and recording videos, the smartphone has a dual rear camera setup that includes a 16-megapixel primary sensor along with an f/1.8 aperture and a 2-megapixel secondary sensor paired with an f/2.4 aperture, alongside an LED flash. There is also a 25-megapixel sensor along with an f/2.0 aperture. Oppo has notably embedded an HDR technology into the frontal sensor to enable high dynamic range (HDR) shots out-of-the-box. Furthermore, there are features such as a portrait mode, artificial intelligence (AI) based scene recognition, AI Beautification 2.1, AR stickers, and Slow Motion video mode.
