Oppo has been teasing the Oppo F9 Pro smartphone by revealing posters on Twitter since the past couple of weeks. The poster revealed a host of information – like the waterdrop notch design, fast charging capability and back panel design. The company has now officially announced that the Oppo F9 will have VOOC Flash charge, gradient colors, as well as the Waterdrop Screen design and will launch by the end of this month in India.
In an official statement, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer said that the F9 Pro supports the company’s proprietary VOOC Flash Charge tech. The technology applies a low voltage fast charging mechanism to deliver quick charging. With its standardised configuration 5V/4A, it can achieve a charging speed four-times faster than conventional 5V/1A charging technology. VOOC also ensures a safe charging process. It is claimed to have five layers of protection from the charging adapter to smartphone, including low temperature and voltage.
In the image posted on Twitter, we could see a designer Oppo F9 Pro back panel. The company has confirmed that the smartphone will come with a gradient colour design that it created “because of technological advances in colour processes since gradient colors are already popular among young people in the market.” The three colours on offer are Sunrise Red, Twilight Blue and Starry Purple that have been inspired by nature. Oppo said that it is the first time that it has applied a gradient design on the side frame.
When it comes to the screen, Oppo said the smartphone will feature its first FHD+ Waterdrop Screen with a high screen-to-body ratio up to 90.8 percent. The front camera is incorporated in a the tiny notch and the screen has a thick chin. The Oppo F9 Pro features horizontally placed dual-cameras with an LED flash on the back. There is a toned down version of the Oppo F9 Pro, called Oppo F9, with a similar screen and back panel design, but it may not come with the VOOC charge tech.
