VOOC is currently the charging technology used in OPPO phones. The charging technology churns out 20W of power just like OnePlus’s Dash Charge and lets you recharge your phone from 0 – 75% in 30 minutes. Super VOOC is faster – allowing you charge a 2500mAh battery in just 15 minutes or up to 45% in just 5 minutes!

The charging technology was first showcased at MWC 2016 and is reported to have been improved upon by OPPO.

Super VOOC isn’t the only technology OPPO has that hasn’t appeared in any phone yet. At last year’s MWC, it showcased a new camera technology called 5X Precision Optical Zoom.

If the Find 9 comes with both new features, OPPO is most likely going to win big this year. But we trust that one or both technologies will eventually be available to its sister companies – OnePlus and Vivo.

OPPO’s Find family has always been the ever loved lineup from the Chinese brand, but it has not been updated since the past couple of years. While it is safe to assume that the lineup is officially dead, rumors about a new Find series phone always seem to crop up every once in a while.

Two new renders have been leaked yesterday, showing what is believed to be Oppo’s Find 9. Previous leaks depicting the Oppo Find 9 also show thin accents to the top and bottom of the smartphone and extremely thin side bezels. The renders show uncertainty whether the display will be a curved panel or be housed with curved glass sides. The likelihood of this happening will be narrow, whilst an edge to edge screen is more probable to end up in the final product’s design.

Renders Showing The Find 9.

In comparison to previous leaks reported, these newly surfaced renders show a slim front-facing home button at the bottom of the Oppo Find 9. If these renders proved to be more accurate than previous leaks, we would have expect the button to operate with a conventional fingerprint scanner.

The issue that is design shows is the awkwardly positioned home button placement on a small narrow bezel. This could have potentially effect everyday usage negative, depending on the phone’s user.

In terms of the internals, we would have expected the flagship device to be powered by a Snapdragon 835 paired with a minimum 6GB RAM, 64GB internal storage and accompanied with expandable external storage via MicroSD card. For photography and video, we would have seen the Oppo Find 9 housing a 21-megapixel rear shooter and a 16-megapixel front-facing selfie shooter. The battery could have been sized at 4,100mAh and with a lack of removability.

Keeping to previous rumors, the Oppo Find 9 may also have had a more affordable, lower powered twin, in the works with a Snapdragon 653 chipset paired with 4GB RAM.

Considering the last model, the Find 7, was released a good three years ago; and confirmation that the Find line has been discontinued, we would be taking a large pinch of salt if the Find 9 would ever resurface again.

Do you think the Find 9 would resemble closely to these renders in consideration the previous Find 7?

Yesterday a fresh rumor concerning the long awaited OPPO Find 9 flagship surfaced online hinting at a launch in March next year. The rumor also hints that the Find 9 would come equipped with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 835 chipset.

Before now industry analyst Pan Jiutang had hinted that the elusive OPPO Find 9 would find its way into the public domain sometime in the summer of next year. The analyst obviously did not keep mute in the face of a new rumored launch date, instead he took to Weibo to sort of reiterate his earlier stance that the device would drop in the summer of next year by downplaying any chance of the device dropping in the first half of next year.

In the end, they are all rumors and all theses rumors should have been put to rest if OPPO had released the Find 9 flagship before now. But due to the huge success of the R series, the Chinese company perhaps did not see the need of releasing a flagship device. The device is however expected to come with a lot of innovative technologies such as a mammoth 8GB RAM, 4K screen and other unique features.

OPPO’s flagship Find series hasn’t seen an update in over two years and there is a very good chance that the company has scrapped the lineup in favor of its OPPO R9 series. However, rumors about the OPPO Find 9 flagship, which should ideally be the successor to the OPPO Find 7 smartphones have continued to come in. Earlier, it was said that the Find 9 will be announced sometime in June this year. That clearly didn’t happen and now, noted analyst Pan Jiutang says that the Find 9 could possible release by Summer next year.

According to the analyst, he reportedly found OPPO Find 9 project recently, proving that the phone is still under development. He further added that the phone has very powerful hardware. We already know that if the OPPO Find 9 makes it to the market, then it should feature the company’s super-fast Super VOOC Fast Charging technology, which charges a phone in just 15 minutes. There are other features like top-end Snapdragon chipset, 6GB RAM and powerful camera setup that we can expect on the device.

If the release is indeed next Summer, we will have to wait for a few months more to get more details on the device. But it remains to be seen whether OPPO would consider releasing an update to the Find 9 series almost three years after the Find 7 was announced in the market.

While we are still unsure whether the OPPO Find 9 is in the works, the latest news from China reveals that the OPPO Find 9 flagship could come with the brand new Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. This is the latest generation of Gorilla Glass display, which also makes it the best. The glass is strengthened to survive higher drops, making sure that your phone’s display stays intact in your day to day usage.

OPPO’s Find series have always been the top-end lineup from the company, and if the Find 9 is real and in the works, we couldn’t expect anything less than the Gorilla Glass 5 on top of its display. However, apart from this detail, the source did not reveal any other information about the device. News about the Find 9 is not readily available, and it’s been nearly 2.5 years since the company made a significant update in the lineup (Find 7 was released in FEB ’14 ). So, it remains to be seen whether OPPO scraped the lineup in favor of its relatively new OPPO R series flagships.

But we have to consider the fact that the specs of the OPPO R9 and even the R9 Plus would soon be outdated by the end of the second half of 2016. The past few months have been fruitful for OPPO, but if it has to continue the momentum, it would probably need better and powerful flagships in the coming months and what better way to make a mark in H2 2016 than with the OPPO Find 9 flagship!

Oppo’s line of high-end phones is the Find Series and it’s been over 2 years since they released a new phone in this lineup. The announcement of the new Oppo Find 9 was expected in June this year but that clearly didn’t happen.

While June has passed us and a new release date isn’t yet known, what appears to be a render of the Find 9 has appeared online. You should take this leak with a pinch of salt because there is no official statement with respect to the image and there’s no Oppo branding on the device. The only reason why we think it is the Find 9 is because of the skyline breathing light associated with the Find series. The phone also appears to sport dual front facing speakers and a 2.5D front panel glass. There’s no fingerprint scanner upfront and no physical button, which leaves the Find 9 having its fingerprint scanner at the back.

The Find 9 is expected to feature a 5.5” QHD screen, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of ROM, a Snapdragon 821 processor, a 4100mAh battery with VOOC fast charging, a 21MP rear camera and 16MP up front.

OPPO seems to be focused on its R9 series flagships for the time being, but we all know that R9 isn’t the true flagship smartphone lineup of the company. OPPO’s Find series have always been the one to bring top-end hardware and innovative software to the public and we are expecting a lot of good things from the OPPO Find 9 phone. However, details about the device seem to be scarce at the moment and the company has showed no sign to confirm that the lineup will be updated this year.

However, that doesn’t stop the leaks and rumors about the Find 9, as the most recent rumors about the phone claim that the device will be announced in June this year. The news comes via some users from China who claim to have recieved info regarding the phone’s release period. However, we still don’t have a specific date. It looks like OPPO is keeping things tight with the Find 9.

Naturally, being a top-end flagship, we can expect powerful hardware inside the OPPO Find 9. Past rumors have revealed that the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 820 chipset under the hood with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. You should also find OPPO specific features such as Super VOOC fast charging and OPPO’s SmartSensor which comes inbuilt with image stabilization at the sensor level. But these are just some possibilities.

What’s also possible is a 4K display on the top-end version of the OPPO Find 9. Recently, we have seen rumors that OPPO and Lenovo are both planning to launch 4K display phones in 2016 and what better phone to debut this high-end feature than the Find 9.

Given the powerful hardware, don’t expect the phone to be cheap. Rumors say that the pricing could be as high as 3998 Yuan which is a lot (around $616), but still possible considering OPPO’s pricing history.

So, what would be the ideal specs for the Find 9 according to you?

For the past few months, we have been patiently waiting for the next Find series smartphone, namely the OPPO Find 9. However, the company hasn’t revealed anything regarding the Find series, and instead, has released new models in its OPPO R series lineup, namely the R9 and the R9 Plus.

While we thought that the company might have scrapped the lineup, a new OPPO device, namely OPPO X9009 model has just passed Taiwanese Certification agency (NCC). Given that the Find 7 had the model number X9006, it’s highly likely that the X9009 is the OPPO Find 9.

The new OPPO R9 and R9 Plus seems to have skipped OPPO’s latest tech like chip scale image stabilization. Even the hardware is not comparable to other high-end flagships like Galaxy S7 with Snapdragon 820. So, it’s likely that the Find 9 is going to be the true flagship smartphone for the company.

According to rumors, the phone is expected to come with a bezel-less design, a 5.9-inch 2K display, Snapdragon 820, Wireless Charging and 4GB/ 6GB RAM. There’s still time for the phone’s release, as it is said that the flagship will meet us in June.

However, it’s good to see that there’s still hope for Find series lovers. In case you remember, the OPPO Find 9 model was also certified in Indonesia, and China a couple of months back.

Like always, the company is yet to confirm the presence of the device but expect more details soon.

So, what do you think? Will OPPO unveil the Find 9 flagship later this year?

OPPO has been making the headlines for the past few days, thanks to the number of rumors and leaks that we have seen recently. But they have been mostly about the company’s upper mid-range devices and not flagships. However, a new image recently cropped up online claiming to the upcoming OPPO Find 9, which could be the company’s next flagship device.

The source reveals a phone with a large display,with the ear piece and the sensors too close to the top edge. So, the display could be covering a large portion of the device, making it nearly borderless.

The phone features a similar design profile as the Find 7, however its more flat and the display also covers a larger proportion of the overall body.

Unfortunately, there is nothing in the picture that says its the upcoming OPPO Find 9. Also, as of now, no technical specifications of the device have been leaked till now. So, as always, we will advise you to take the news with a pinch of salt.

We’ll keep you updated if any more specs details or images turn up online, but until then, its safe to assume that this news is probably fake.
