Display and Camera
A gorgeous 6.28-inch Super AMOLED display is entirely dazzling and boards a sign of a good-looking of new Oppo F9 Pro. Chances are F9 Pro will be loaded with a conventional 19:9 display dimensions which will be supported by the worthy screen resolution – 1080 x 2280 pixels. As we’re relying on rumours, it has also been said that the display is going to boast a powerful resolution in order to give users an exquisite visual experience.
Talking about its camera, Oppo F9 Pro is expected to consist dual 16MP + 20MP rear sensors which are positioned horizontally and sporting features i.e. Geo-tagging, Touch Focus, Face/Smile Detection, Panorama, and HDR. The selfie lovers will get a 25MP sensor, though. The camera will enable users to have an insight into the most advanced camera configuration which would definitely give a quality-oriented image with maximum image sharpness to its users.
Performance, Storage, and OS
You can be pretty sure about Oppo smartphones especially when it comes to performance. The Oppo F9 Pro is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660 which is coupled with a whopping 8GB of RAM. It’s an insane amount of RAM which is already on par with numerous desktops and laptops nowadays. The overall performance will definitely be butter smooth and users will get a lag-free experience whether they work on multiple apps at once or play graphics enriched games.
Oppo F9 Pro won’t disappoint users in terms of onboard space. A user will be able to install loads and loads of data without getting worried about space as Oppo F9 Pro brings a massive 128GB of onboard memory that can also be expanded further up to 256GB via microSD card (Hooray!).
As far as its software factor is concerned, Oppo F9 Pro will run on Android 8.1 Oreo operating system with no defined timeline of an upgrade.
Battery
The battery inside Oppo F9 Pro is expected 3400mAh which seems fine for light users. However, it won’t deliver more than that with a heavy usage. The heavy users will have to reach to the charger before going to bed. Either Oppo includes a fast charging feature in F9 Pro or not, it’s something to be announced.
