The battle line is drawn, but this is no Shuai jiao contest, neither is it your favorite Wrestlemania or Boxing bout. Instead, this a comparison of the speed of the fast charging technologies featured on the smartphones of the top five global smartphone companies. In case you’ve forgotten, Samsung, Apple, Huawei, OPPO and Vivo occupy the top 5 spots in terms of mobile phone shipments globally for 2016. While Samsung, Apple and Huawei had built formidable reputations for themselves over the years, OPPO rode on the back of its VOOC fast charge technology on the OPPO R9 to help shore up its sales, the result of which is still being felt today. Fellow Chinese co-traveller Vivo also has fast charging technologies which is one of its main selling points.

So, the fast charging feature onboard the Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro, Huawei Mate 9, OPPO R9 Plus and Vivo X9 Plus are put to test, all at the same time and the same battery level (0%) to determine which one actually charges faster. To set the records straight, the Galaxy C9 Pro, Mate 9, R9 Plus and X9 Plus, all have 4,000mAh battery capacity, while the iPhone 7 Plus comes with a 2910mAh battery. We must also point out that the iPhone 7 Plus doesn’t come with fast charging support but then, it is one of the top selling and most expensive smartphones so it squares up against the others.

After 5 minutes of charge (results pictured above), OPPO R9S Plus was able to attain 8% battery capacity while the Huawei Mate 9 got 10%, the highest level of the lot. The Apple iPhone 7 Plus was just at 4%, the Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro at 7% and the Vivo X9 Plus surprisingly was at 9%.

In 30 minutes (results pictured above), the Huawei Mate 9 with its innovative fast charging technology was well ahead at 56%, the R9 Plus and Vivo X9 Plus was trailing at 49% apiece, the Galaxy C9 Pro at 36% and finally the iPhone 7 Plus was only at 19%.

In 60 minutes (results pictured above), the Mate 9 and R9 Plus were both at 89% while the X9 Plus had gotten to 86%. The Samsung galaxy C9 Pro was trailing at 68% and then the iPhone 7 Plus at 38%. Obviously, Apple iPhones don’t come with fast charge support and that really has no effect on sales, but it sure would have made a lot of difference to add that to their selling points.

At 90 minutes (results pictured above), only the Huawei Mate 9 had attained full 100% charge, an applaudable feat. The OPPO R9 Plus was very close by at 98% of charge, the Vivo X9 Plus was also at 98% while the Galaxy C9 Pro was at 95%. The iPhone 7 Plus was still lagging behind at 57% even when it had a smaller battery capacity.

The test allowed the charge time to extend to 150 minutes and in that time as shown above, the Mate 9 and R9 Plus had stopped charging. The Vivo X9 Plus and Galaxy C9 Pro had also reached 100% in 150 minutes, while the Phone 7 Plus was only at 69%.

The test had to be stretched to 190 minutes (pictured above), that is 3 hours and 10 minutes before the iPhone 7 Plus charged up to 100%. That is quite slow, but with an efficient Apple A10 chip onboard, the battery isn’t expected to drain as fast as the others.

From the graph based on the fast charge test results, the Huawei Mate 9 with the steepest curve has the most efficient fast charge technology. This is followed by the OPPO R9 Plus and its VOOC fast charge technology. OPPO and Vivo are from the same parent company, so it is no surprise that the Vivo X9 Plus has almost similar charge pattern. The Galaxy C9 Pro followed closely and finally the iPhone 7 Plus came quite a distance behind the quartet.

The OPPO R9 was an instant hit in China, selling over 400,000 units of the device in just four days of launch. In fact, in many of the places in the country, the phone was out of stock. The company has acknowledged this issue and has increased production to meet the high demand. Considering the success of the R9, we can expect OPPO to stock up the R9 Plus as well before it’s official sale.

The phone will be up for order tomorrow at a price tag of 3299 Yuan which comes to around $509. Not the cheapest 6-inch phone in the market, but that hasn’t stopped fans in China buying smartphones in the past.

After nearly a month of rumors and leaks, OPPO has finally unveiled the new OPPO R9 and R9 Plus flagships in China. The company announced these two devices at its special conference in Beijing a few minutes back.

Given that we still have no word on the OPPO Find 7, the R series seems to be driving the company’s flagship lineup. Hence, both the devices are pretty important for the company.

The OPPO R9 and the R9 Plus feature a similar design, with the R9 sporting a larger display. Both the devices are made out of a metal body. In fact, the company claims that up to 98.02% of the phone’s body is made out of metal. The phone features smooth curves around the edges and the body is subjected to zircon sanding to give it a premium look. The company decided to put the fingerprint sensor up front, so that the remained smooth and flawless.

Coming to the front, the OPPO R9 and R9 Plus both come with a fingerprint sensor embedded into the home button. As revealed in one of its earlier teasers, the R9 will come with narrow 1.66mm borders around the display. This makes sure that the display covers a major portion of the front.

The OPPO R9 measures 151.8 x 74.3 x 6.5mm. Yes, it that slim! As for the R9, it comes with the measurements 163 x 80.8 x 7.4mm. Now, compared to the R9, you might feel that this is thick, however, let me inform you that there’s a large 4120mAh battery under its hood, which is pretty impressive. As for the R9, it comes with a 2850mAh battery. This coupled with the company’s super fast VOOC charging will ensure that you don’t have to worry about the charging the device during the day.

Coming to the specs, the OPPO R9 sports a 5.5-inch FHD 1080p display while the Plus variant features a 6-inch 1080p display. The R9 comes with the Mediatek Helio P10 processor while the R9 Plus has the Snapdragon 652 chipset under the hood. Both chips are clocked at 2GHz. There will be 4GB RAM + 64GB storage on both the models, with an option to upgrade to 128GB.

Coming to the camera department, the R9 comes with a 16MP 1/3 inch sensor up front, with the company’s independently developed “self perfection technology”. The company explains that this improves sensitivity and tolerance to light and noise to a great extent. Further, you get the new beauty 4.0 software to enhance your selfies. If you think this isn’t impressive, the R9 series phones now come with panorama mode up front. The phone can automatically capture and stitch together three different photos to create a wide angle image. So, if you think getting everyone in one shot for a groufie is tough, OPPO R9 has got your back.

Up front, the OPPO R9 features a 13MP sensor with 1/3.06 inch CMOS sensor. The setup comes with a dual drive hybrid AF system which includes traditional focus as well as a contrast phase focusing. Further, it features anti-shake 2.0 to capture blur free images.

Coming to the R9 Plus, the phone features 16MP cameras on both the back and the front. This is Sony IMX298 1/2.8 sensor with f/2.0 aperture. At the moment, it seems like the phone doesn’t come with OIS. But there’s EIS i.e. Electronic Image Stabilization to help reduce camera shake.

As for software, the phone comes with the company’s own Color OS 3.0 on top of Android 5.1.1. As mentioned above, you also get a fingerprint sensor up front, which can unlock the device in just 0.2 seconds. The fingerprint sensor improves with time and also supports mobile payments.

Now, coming to the most important part of today’s launch, i.e. the pricing. Both the phones are a bit cheaper than expected. The OPPO R9 will retail for a price tag of 2799 Yuan ($430) while the R9 Plus will be priced at 3299 Yuan ($507).

The post OPPO Announces R9 & R9 Plus Selfie Flagships With 16MP Front Facing Cameras appeared first on Gizmochina.

OPPO is all set to announce new models in its R series, namely the OPPO R9 and the OPPO R9 Plus on March 17. We are just a couple of days away from the launch, but the company is continuing its tradition of revealing new features of the device. The latest teaser from the company confirms the presence of a powerful 16MP sensor up front, ideal for selfies.

Cameras have always been one of the major selling points of a smartphone. We have seen rear cameras become almost as powerful as a professional camera, and thanks to the obsession with selfies, even the front camera department has seen some good upgrades. OPPO is trying to offer the best front camera experience with its upcoming OPPO R9 flagship, by using a powerful 16MP sensor. But it’s not just about a large sensor, as the company states that the camera will be equipped with “Self-Perfection Technology”, which has been independently developed by OPPO.

According to the company, “self-perfection technology” is not just about software enhancements, rather, it’s also the reconstruction of the camera hardware. Due to this technology, OPPO says that the phone can capture clear and bright pictures even in dark conditions.

Well, at this moment, we are not quite sure how good is this technology. We will have to wait till March 17 conference to see a demonstration of the so-called “self-perfection tech” in real life.

As for the other specs, the OPPO R9 will reportedly come with Mediatek’s Helio P10 processor clocked at 2GHz, 5.5-inch 1080p display, metal body, thin bezels, 4GB RAM and 2850mAh battery. As confirmed by the company, the phone will also feature a fingerprint sensor up front, embedded in its home button.

You can read more about the specs of both OPPO R9 and R9 Plus from here.

We know for sure that OPPO will release new models in the OPPO R9 series on March 17 in China. Thanks to the TENAA listing, we have a good idea about the specs of both the devices. Now, a new leaked image reveals more details about the phone’s body and overall specs.

According to the new image, the OPPO R9 will come with the Mediatek P10 processor clocked at 2.0GHz. TENAA showed that the phone will come with an octa-core processor, but we were unsure about the chipset inside. But now it looks like the chip mode;l has been revealed. The image reveals that the phone will come with a 16MP camera up front, and a 13MP camera at the back. Usually, companies tend to pack in the best sensor at the back, so we will have to wait and see whether the R9 comes with such a setup.

One of the highlights of the OPPO R9 is going to be the super thin black borders on the screen. It is said that the borders are just of 1.66mm, which is one of the narrowest in the industry. Other features of the phone include a 5.5-inch display, metal body and fingerprint sensor that unlocks in just 0.2 seconds. The 2850mAh battery on board is reportedly good enough for 14 hours on a single charge, and up to 10 hours of video playback.

Coming to the OPPO R9 Plus, the document reveals that the phone will feature Snapdragon 652 octa-core chipset. At the back as well as the front, you will get 16MP Sony IMX298 sensors. The phone can reportedly capture images in up to 64MP resolution. The cameras on both the phones are said to be good. There will be two storage versions, one featuring 64GB and the other with 128GB. Finally, there will be a fingerprint sensor on board, much like its smaller sibling.

Thin bezels, powerful cameras, decent processors and a good battery with VOOC fast charging, well, OPPO R9 series seems to have a lot of good stuff inside. The only thing that we are worried about is the pricing. Rumors say that the R9 will retail for 2999 Yuan ($464) while the R9 Plus for 3499 Yuan ($541) in China, which is frankly higher than competitors. So, let’s hope OPPO prices it cheaper than these figures.

OPPO has been teasing the features of its upcoming OPPO R9 flagship for the past few weeks. We already know that the phone will come with a metal body with matte finish and a screen with super narrow bezels. Now the latest teaser from OPPO reveals that the upcoming flagship will feature a fast fingerprint sensor.

The company revealed via a couple of teasers that the R9 will come with a front facing fingerprint sensor that unlocks within 0.2 seconds. So, you will be able to start using the phone almost instantly you touch the front facing home button integrated with fingerprint sensor.

Apart from revealing that the sensor unlocks the phone instantly, the company also hinted that its ideal for making mobile payments. Now, OPPO doesn’t have its own payment service like Apple, Samsung or even Huawei (the company recently unveiled the Huawei Pay). Could we see an OPPO Pay mobile payment service launch alongside the R9? There have been reports about Chinese companies planning to release such a service, and Huawei was the first one to jump into the mobile payment market. But we are not entirely sure whether OPPO will enter the payment market as well.

In one of its teasers, we can see that the R9’s fingerprint looks a lot like the oval sensor from Meizu. Some manufacturers, like Xiaomi for example, have used an oblong shaped sensor probably to differentiate itself from other manufacturers. But OPPO seems to be taking the usual approach to fingerprint ID, instead of a different design.

Although OPPO isn’t officially confirming any other device apart from the OPPO R9, we are almost sure that we will meet a larger sibling, namely the OPPO R9 Plus at the event. Instead of an octa-core chip which is likely the Helio X10 inside the OPPO R9, the Plus variant will reportedly come with Snapdragon 652 and a larger 4000mAh battery as well. Other specs will be the same like 16MP rear and front cameras, and 4GB RAM.

Pricing was never the strong point of OPPO devices, and it said that the phone could retail for as much as 2999 Yuan which comes to $460. The R9 Plus could be even more costlier, retailing for 3499 Yuan ($537).

Not a day goes by without news about the upcoming OPPO R9 and the R9 Plus smartphones. Earlier, we reported that the upcoming OPPO smartphones could be quite costly in China, and now, the larger model in the lineup, namely the OPPO R9 Plus has been spotted on the benchmarking website AnTuTu. Thanks to the listing, we can once again confirm the specs of the device. Earlier, TENAA listing had revealed the internals of the device.

The model number as given by AnTuTu is R9 Plustm A, which indicates that this is the larger and more powerful variant. The listing further confirms that the OPPO R9 Plus will come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 octa-core chip. While this chip isn’t as powerful as SD820, it’s still powerful enough to drive a flagship smartphone. Further, the Adreno 510 GPU will ensure that the phone’s graphics performance is up to the mark.

Other features are just as revealed by TENAA. So, there is 4GB of RAM on board along with 64GB of internal storage. While AnTuTu doesn’t reveal the display size, TENAA confirmed a 6-inch 1080p screen on the device. Another interesting information revealed by the listing is the camera up front. As you can see in the listing, the R9 Plus will feature a 16MP front-facing shooter, which should capture great selfies. The rear camera will also be the same 16MP sensor.

While these look like pretty decent specs for a 6-inch phablet, what we are really concerned about is the software on board. Android 5.1.1 on a 2016 flagship? We don’t think so. OPPO may not be so frequent with their Android updates, but we hope that the retail version of the OPPO R9 Plus ships with the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow on board.

With these specs, the phone managed to score about 70K on AnTuTu, which is pretty decent. But it’s still below the deca-core Helio X20 which gets around 85K.

Now, coming to the pricing, a recent leak said that the phone could be priced at around 3499 Yuan which is a lot for such a device. It comes to around $537. That’s way more than the official $354 (2699 Yuan) price of the Xiaomi Mi 5 Pro.

The post OPPO R9 Plus Spotted On AnTuTu With Snapdragon 652 CPU appeared first on Gizmochina.

OPPO R9 and its elder sibling, the OPPO R9 Plus are all set to launch on March 17. However, the company is not waiting for the launch day to reveal some of the features of the device. For example, yesterday, we saw that the OPPO R9 will come with thin bezels and thin black borders around the display.

Now, OPPO has revealed a portion of the back of the upcoming R9 flagship, and it confirms the design seen in the earlier TENAA listing. The company adds that the phone will come with a slim metal body that fits in your palm perfectly. Despite being made out of metal, the phone seems to be featuring a non-glossy texture. So, this matte texture could help provide a better grip to the user holding the device.

Apart from the back and the front, we also got an idea about the possible pricing of both the R9 and the R9 Plus yesterday evening. Thanks to a local OPPO store, it looks like the OPPO R9 will be priced at 2999 Yuan ($460) while the OPPO R9 Plus will retail for 3499 Yuan ($537).

For this price, the OPPO R9 will reportedly offer you a 5.5-inch 1080p display, octa-core chipset with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. At the back, you will get a 16MP camera and a 2850mAh battery with the company’s trademark VOOC fast charging tech. We still don’t know whether the Super VOOC fast charge technology which was showcased at MWC 2016 will make it to the device.

As for the OPPO R9 Plus, the phone will be larger than the R9 featuring a 6-inch display with an octa-core chipset as well, but it’s the Snapdragon 652. Remember what the analyst had said a few days back? Many flagships this year would be using the Snapdragon 652 due to its lower cost. It seems like OPPO is following this trend. Other specs include 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, 16MP camera, VOOC fast charge and a large 4120mAh battery.

The company confirmed that the phone will come with curved corners as seen in the image above. The teaser further reveals the power and SIM card slots will be located on the right side of the phone. Also, we can confirm that the phone will come in a silver colored variant.

But this is not the only glimpse of the device we have got till now. We actually got to see both, the OPPO R9 and the R9 Plus at their TENAA listings a few days back. Apart from the design, the certification also revealed the specs of the devices.

The OPPO R9 features a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with 1080p resolution. The OPPO R9 Plus is a larger sized version of the R9, with a 6-inch display. Despite being from the same series, the R9 comes with an octa-core chip clocked at 1.95GHZ probably the Helio X10 and the R9 Plus features a 1.8GHz octa-core chip which could be from the Snapdragon 600 series. But on the memory side, both the devices are quite strong. Both come with 4GB RAM and then there are 32GB and 64GB internal storages on the R9 and R9 Plus respectively.

There will be a 16MP shooter on both the models with dual LED flash. OPPO R9 is slimmer featuring a 6.5mm body and because of this, it only comes with a 2850mAh battery. On the other hand, the R9 Plus features a much larger 4120mAh battery, thanks to its 7.4mm body.

Don’t expect these phones to retail for cheap. So, they could be somewhere between $300 to $400 or even more. But we can only get the pricing confirmed after OPPO officially announces it on March 17.

For the past few weeks, we have been hearing a lot about the OPPO R9 and R9 Plus flagships. According to the advertisements from the company in China, we knew that the phone was going to launch on March 17. Now, OPPO has just further confirmed the event in Beijing via its official weibo page.

The company released a new teaser today revealing that they have an event on March 17 at the Beijing National Convention Center. Like all its teasers in the past few days, this particular one also comes with a large 9 in the center confirming that the event is for the launch of the OPPO R9.

The OPPO R9 along with its elder brother, the R9 Plus recently passed through the certification website TENAA revealing its design and specs. Both the devices have a similar design, with the R9 Plus featuring a larger form factor owing to its 6-inch display.

As for the specs, the OPPO R9 will come with an octa-core processor clocked at 1.95GHz, which could be the Helio X10. On the other hand, the OPPO R9 Plus features a 1.8GHz octa-core chip most likely the Snapdragon 652. Both feature 4GB RAM, but storage is 32GB on the R9 and 64GB on the R9 Plus. There’s a MicroSD card slot on both the devices, so you don’t have to worry about storage. A 16MP camera sensor adorns the back of both the devices. The R9 sports a 2850mAh battery while the R9 Plus features a 4120mAh battery. Finally, the R9 is slimmer with a 6.5mm body while the R9 Plus features a slightly thicker 7.4mm body.

Pricing and availability details have not been revealed yet but expect more information on the launch day, which is just a couple of weeks away.

The post OPPO Will Unveil The OPPO R9 Flagships In Beijing, Confirms Teaser appeared first on Gizmochina.

OPPO has confirmed that the OPPO R9 flagship will meet us on March 19 in China. Now the same phone, along with its larger brother has just hit TENAA which reveals a lot of things about the two upcoming devices.

First of all, design wise, the OPPO R9 and the R9 Plus are similar. Like the name suggests, the R9 Plus will be an enlarged version of the device, featuring a larger 6-inch display. There are some other differences between the two models, with the Plus variant featuring much better specs.

But before moving to the specs, one thing to mention about the design is the front facing fingerprint sensor. The phone features a clean back and comes with a fingerprint sensor integrated into the home button. Like its predecessors, the OPPO R9 is pretty thin, featuring a 6.5mm body. The R9 Plus will be a bit thicker, with a 7.4mm body, but nothing to complain here since it features a much larger battery as well.

Like mentioned above, both the models have a few differences in terms of specs. The OPP R8 comes with a 1.95GHz octa-core processor which could be the Helio X10. But we can’t be sure of that right now. On the other hand, the OPPO R9 Plus comes with a 1.8GHz octa-core chip, which is probably the Snapdragon 652. So, no SD820 as rumored before.

As for the display, the R9 sports a 5.5-inch 1080p screen while the R9 Plus comes with a larger 6-inch 1080p panel. Both models have 4GB RAM but the R9 has 32GB ROM while R9 Plus features 64GB ROM. Storages on both the models are expandable up to 128GB. The rear camera is the same, so both get 16MP sensor at the back. The R9 features a 2850mAh battery while the R9 Plus features a 4120mAh battery. Finally, both smartphones get dual SIM dual standby.

Now that we have know a lot about the two upcoming devices, all we can do is wait for OPPO to confirm these specs and reveal other details like pricing and availability.

So, what do you think? How much are you willing to pay for OPPO R9 and R9 Plus with these specs?
