Oppo is another one of those companies that they are joining Xiaomi and that battalion of phones Chinese to show us that there is another way of doing things without forgetting a great design, hardware with great features and a very affordable price for a large number of users who do not want to spend € 700 to have the latest technology.
We can see this in its two new announced phones: the Oppo R9 and the R9 Plus. Two smartphones that we already have here and that are the flagships of that manufacturer for this year 2016. The Oppo R9 is the smallest of the two with a 5,5 inch screen, while the R9 Plus reaches up to 6 inches. Both are characterized by an identical design in the design having almost the entire metal body and quite remarkable hardware when using the MediaTek Helio P10 MT7655 chip in the first, while the second is passed to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 chip.
Two phones focusing on the camera
The smaller of the two, the Oppo R9, has a 5,5-inch screen with 1080p resolution and on its CPU we found a MediaTek Helio P10 MT7655 that takes us up to a clock speed of 2.0 GHz. The largest, the Oppo R9 Plus, has a screen that reaches 6 inches with the same resolution, although with a lower pixel density. Its chip is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652, one dedicated specifically to mid-range devices.
What they are in is the amount of RAM with 4 GB and in storage with 64 GB. But what draws the most attention of these two phones that reach the upper average but that turn out to be close to the high in various details, is their cameras.
In the Oppo R9 we have a 13-megapixel rear with an f / 2.2 aperture and 4K video recording. In the Oppo R9 Plus, we go towards a 16 megapixel with F72.0 aperture and the Sony IMX 298 sensor, to which we can complete with phase detection autofocus. A surprise is the number of megapixels, although these are less and less important, with 16 and an angle of 78 degrees. They also have features like Beauty 4.0 to improve the photos we take with these cameras.
Your other details
Moment we don't have any signal on some technologies that Oppo presented at the MWC, such as that MEMS-based optical image stabilization or that of SuperVOOC fast charge.
The battery of the two terminals goes through 4.210 mAh for the R9 Plus and 2.850 for the R9. By having VOOC core technology, Oppo claims that two hours of battery life will be provided for only 5 minutes of charging.
Regarding the design nothing we are surprised to see some very evident similarities with Apple phones. Something that we are already used to but that if we had to look for phones that were good looking, the two new Oppo would pass the casting tests. One of the details is the integration of a physical home button that hides the fingerprint sensor.
