OPPO dropped some new teaser images for their upcoming OPPO K9s phone, revealing a couple of new stuff including the usage of an X-axis linear motor and a virtual mechanical keyboard.
An X-axis linear haptics motor is superior compared to Z-axis and older rotor motors in that it’s capable of producing vibrations that are crisper and can be adapted to dozens of scenarios. The new motor is flagship-level and will be shipped with an OPPO K series model for the very first time with K9s.
Further, the teaser images revealed that OPPO is cooperating with keyboard manufacturer Dujia to bring a vibration simulation function to the built-in virtual keyboard app of the K9s. The keyboard will support 3 kinds of lighting effects, 4 different skins, and 6 kinds of shaft feel. Of course, the X-axis motor will be put to good use here in replicating vibration sensations, not unlike the ones found on actual mechanical keyboards.
The OPPO K9s will also be using the motor to produce in-game 4D vibrations for a more immersive mobile gaming experience.
The phone is expected to be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G chip, be powered by a 5000mAh high-capacity battery, and support 30W VOOC flash charging. It has an LTPS panel with a 6.59-inch size that produces an FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels. It will come preinstalled with Android 11 OS.
The K9s’ rear features a 64-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple camera unit. Its front side is fitted with a 16-megapixel selfie camera. The power button on the right of the device is integrated with a fingerprint scanner.
It will be released on October 20.
