The OPPO F9 features a 6.3-inch full HD+ Waterdrop display, a 90.8% screen-to-body ratio, 2.0GHz octa-core MediaTek Helio P60 processor, 6GB RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, a 25MP selfie camera, and a 16MP + 2MP dual sensor module at the rear. It is powered by a 3,500 mAh battery with VOOC fast charging, and runs on ColorOS 5.2 based on Android Oreo.

It comes in three colors, namely Sunrise Red, Twilight Blue, and Starry Purple. Sadly, we were not able to see the Starry Purple because the unit was not available yet.

What about the OPPO F9 Pro?

You may be wondering why the OPPO F9 Pro was not announced. I asked OPPO PH representatives about it and according to them, the Pro variant is not really a variant. Its the same phone with the word “Pro” added in the end. Apparently, it just a naming convention to be used in other regions such as India.

The reason why was not explained, but it could be that a “Pro” variant sells more units than the regular one in some areas. For this one, I guess we’ll find out in the coming days if there is a difference between the Pro variant and the regular one.
