Standard : Chinese smartphone manufacturer Oppo
was one of the first Android original equipment makers (OEMs) to
introduce a smartphone with an iPhone X-like notch-based screen. With
the launch of the Oppo F9 Pro, it also became the first brand to
introduce a screen with a tiny notch. A phone with a waterdrop
design, the F9 Pro has a notch of the size of a water drop, and it
accommodates only the front camera.
The earpiece and sensors have
been moved to the thin bezel area above it. Though the phone has a
fresh design with a new sceen format on the front and glass with a
gradient design on the back, it is the phone’s fast-charging
capability that gives it an edge in the midrange smartphone segment.
The phone features Oppo’s proprietary VOOC fast-charging
technology, which according to the company provides two hours of talk
time in five minutes’ charge.

Standard reviewed the Oppo
F9 Pro to test its overall performance and the VOOC charging
technology. Here are our observations:
Design
and display
The
Oppo F9 Pro looks identical to its predecessor, the Oppo F7. However,
with a new screen format on the front and a gradient glass design on
the back, the phone looks refreshing and has a premium appeal. The
back of the smartphone looks dazzling, especially with its gradient
design giving it a 3D look. However, with the fingerprint sensor
placed in the middle-centre and horizontally aligned dual-camera
module on the top-left-centre, the back lacks a uniform look and is,
therefore, cluttered.
The
front is dominated by a new 6.3-inch screen format of the fullHD+
resolution, stretching in a 19:9 aspect ratio. The screen has a tiny
notch screen area accommodating just the front camera. Interestingly,
the earpiece now sits under a thin bezel above the display, along
with sensors on its right. The new screen format gives the phone a
tall look, making it somewhat difficult to operate it using one hand.
Being
an LCD unit, the display is bright and has good sunlight legibility.
It has a good saturation and contrast ratio. However, the colour
rendition is not satisfactory and a fullHD+ resolution on such a big
panel looks a bit pixelated, especially while reading text, playing
games and watching videos.
Camera
The
smartphone has a dual-camera module on the back featuring a
16-megapixel primary sensor, mated with a 2MP depth-sensing lens. The
main camera has a large f/1.8 aperture size and the depth-sensing
lens sits behind f/2.4 aperture. The camera fixes autofocus quickly
and takes detailed shots in all light conditions. However, in low
light, the camera softens the output and shows noise across the
frame.... Read
