Rapid charge with VOOC
The Oppo F9 offers the revolutionary VOOC Flash Charge Technology. This technology is exclusively developed by the brand and provides a charging speed of up to four times faster than regular charging. This means that a quick five-minute charge is enough to enable two hours of talk time.
VOOC also boasts an intelligent five-layer protection system from the adaptor to the port and interior of the phone. The technology replaced the voltage reducing circuit with an MCU, effectively preventing the mobile phone from overheating while charging and making VOOC an ingenious, fast-charging technology. You can also use your phone while keeping the speed of fast charging, which high-voltage fast charge cannot do.
Since Oppo launched VOOC in 2014, it has gained over 500 patents and has been used by over 90 million consumers. Equipped with a 3500mAh battery and optimized AI battery management, F9 can guarantee great battery life.
Waterdrop screen with gradient colors
Oppo F9 offers a unique and attractive design that appeals greatly to the younger generation. It boasts of three stunning gradient color combinations: Sunrise Red, Twilight Blue and Starry Purple. A special spraying technique is used to achieve the refined gradient partnered with flower petal pattern in the phone’s body.
Another notable design upgrade in the F9 is the Waterdrop screen. Inspired by the water droplet, it allows users to have better viewing experience with an extremely high screen-to-body ratio of 90.8 percent. It also has an impressive 6.3-inch bezel-less screen that features a resolution of 2340x1080 and an aspect ratio of 19.5:9.
From ‘Selfie Expert’ to 'Portrait Artist'
Oppo has established itself as the selfie expert with the unprecedented innovation in the F Series. With the F9, the company expands its leadership to photography.
F9 is the first in the F series to be equipped with AI-enhanced dual rear cameras (16MP + 2MP). The two cameras work together to create a depth of field and achieve a great Bokeh effect. Sixteen independent and 800 combined scenes can be recognized by AI Scene Recognition.
Its 25MP front-facing camera also does not disappoint. The reinvented "Sensor-HDR" technology dramatically improves backlight selfies and allows users to check high dynamic exposure live effects in real-time. The F9 can now also accurately collect 296 feature points for each subject, referencing them against its massive database of facial images and analyzing features before making enhancements that are customized for each subject.
The AI Beauty Technology can provide users with 8 million different beautification effects, personalizing selfies in the most attractive way possible while keeping the natural look of each human subject. In addition, the F9 supports multiple interesting camera features such as AR Stickers, vivid mode and slow-motion video.
Expanded storage, new AI intuitive system
Oppo F9 sets the new standard in mid-range smartphones with its 6GB RAM + 64GB storage that promises a superb performance. It also supports two SIM cards slots and one 256GB storage card slot.
Based on Android 8.1, Oppo brings the ColorOS 5.2 Operating System to create a smarter and more intuitive experience for users. ColorOS 5.2 analyzes and aggregates user preferences and interests to enable F9 to be “One Step Ahead.” The F9 is also equipped with the Google Lens that identifies objects and shows relevant search results and information.
