Following weeks of teasers, rumors, leaks, and certifications, we finally have a formal announcement from Oppo. The Oppo F9 Pro has been announced at the Grand Hyatt in Mumbai, India earlier today. However, the F9 Pro isn’t alone, it is accompanied by a more cheaper variant dubbed the Oppo F9. Both devices are essentially the same, but the F9 pro packs more RAM, a better front facing camera and supports the VOOC Flash charge, even though they both have the same 3500mAh battery.
Much like the Oppo F7, the Oppo F9 pro main focus is on selfies and an alluring design. Speaking of the design, the Oppo F9 pro adopts the still trending notch display, but with a difference. The device flaunts a 6.3-inch display with a 90.8% STB ratio, a 19.5:9 Aspect Ratio and a ‘Waterdrop’ notch design much like the one on the essential phone. On the flip side, Oppo claims it has given the device a whole gradient design using Gradient Spraying Technology to create a fusion of different colors and offer gradient color matching options to users. The rear is house to a dual camera setup, as well as a fingerprint print scanner.
