The OPPO R9s feels very light despite its size. It’s slim yet sturdy and solid when you hold it and the tapered sides give it a slick, sharp finish. The fingerprint-enabled home button is accurate and fast – I predict that no one will be unlocking their phone with just a pin number by the end of 2017. One of my favourite features of the fingerprint sensor is the custom-unlocking setting which allows you to open different apps depending on which finger unlocks the phone. I set this feature up so that unlocking the device with my right thumb took me to the homescreen but unlocking with my left thumb took me to Whatsapp. So handy. As for the display – I love it because the colours really pop on the 5.5” AMOLED screen so scrolling through Instagram or watching movies is a real pleasure.The OPPO R9s feels very light despite its size.

The OPPO R9s looks very gorgeous when the screen is off.While the screen is on, the black side on the middle frame is very classic. And the function of the Home key is slightly different.It returns to the main page by a slightly touch of the Home key.
Oppo is making inroads in the Australian smartphone market and the company has just released a new affordable mid-tier device – the R9s – which will suit users who love snapping selfies and photos.
OPPO R9s from an associate before it is officially launched on 10 Dec. But the product is no secret: R9s is officially announced globally
The Oppo R9s is powered by MSM8953 octa-core processor with 4G RAM, 64GB of onboard storage.
And if you choose not to use the second SIM card slot, you can make use of that space for a microSD card to expand the memory even further.
ZOMG, the OPPO R9s’ fast charging is the best thing since sliced bread. Not only can you charge this beauty to 2 hours of talk time in just 5 minutes thanks to OPPO’s VOOC Fast Charge technology (and inclusion of the fast charger too), the battery life just goes on and on…and on
There are a few off-focus shots which are only obvious after I scrutinise it post-review because the depth of field is not that shallow for me to notice on-screen.
The camera is clearly the focal point of the OPPO R9s – you’ll find a huge 16MP sensor on the front and The rear camera uses a customised Sony IMX398 sensor and has Dual Pixel autofocus which makes the camera much more accurate and faster.
Overall
Love
