What can make you stand out in this age of face seeing?

There is no need to explode the appearance, no need for excess functions, just a touch of condensation.

▲ OPPO R9 rear view

Every time OPPO releases a new product, it can always bring great impact to the peers. According to the data released by OPPO, the sales volume of OPPO mobile phones in 2015 reached 50 million, of which the total sales volume of R7 series products reached 15 million. The layout of OPPO's offline channels can more accurately sell users and products. Offline is also the first time for consumers to experience the store, which highlights OPPO's green and white brand. In March 2016, OPPO released the successor of the R series - R9/R9 PLUS, continuing the style of the R series. In addition to the same Vooc flash charge as the R7 series, what are the highlights of the appearance of the R9? Let's open the box and understand.

▲ OPPO R9 vs. OPPO R7s

First of all, I would like to thank the OPPO community for their love, which enabled me to experience the latest products of OPPO at the first time, and also gave me the opportunity to share the charm of R9 with my friends.

▲ Commission and OPPO R9 set

OPPO R9 still adopts the packaging design of Heaven and Earth Box, with less green embellishment, which makes it very elegant. The damping of the box is very good this time, and basically it can fall at a uniform speed. To get straight to the point, when opening the box, you can see R9 lying quietly in the box. After a careful look, he also pasted a protective film on it. On the next floor, there are card taking pins, product manuals, warranty cards and OPPO matched clear water rubber sleeves. On the next floor, there are three mobile phone accessories: charger, data cable and headset. Paste the protective film and match the protective sleeve. These intimate details save users a lot of trouble.

▲ OPPO R9 charging head, data cable and small ohm

Friends who have used OPPO's exclusive VOOC flash charge will praise this exclusive technology endlessly. When it comes to the credit of Vooc flash charging, we must mention its data line and charging head. The unique 8-core circuit is safe and stable, greatly stabilizing the voltage and limiting the current of the charging head, and providing a large current of 5V/4A. The charging cable is more textured, solid and comfortable than the ordinary data cable. The green and white colors echo the OPPO brand color.

▲ R9 body thickness is between 3-4 1 yuan coins

OPPO R9 still uses 2.5D glass and all metal as the main elements. The top of R9 is arranged from right to left: cameras, earphones, sensing elements and breathing lights. From a distance, it has a warm white (● - ●) taste. The 16 megapixel front camera doesn't look too obtrusive in appearance, and the tiny mesh earpiece prevents dust from falling into it. The breath lamp is hidden without warning information. Take the phone case with you. In the dark night, when there is a prompt message, put the phone upside down, and you can vaguely see the phone case. Even the bottom of the phone is shining with holy white light, which has a clear aesthetic feeling.

▲ R9 front

The R series ultra narrow frame has never disappointed me. From R7 to R7s to R9, the black edge of the screen is reduced to only 0.5mm, and the screen to the side is only 1.66mm. Compared with the same size of the fuselage, it has a larger screen size. The exclusive U-rail adhesive spraying process makes the ultra narrow frame very solid.

▲ R9 master

As the flagship aircraft of the year, the biggest regret of R7s is that it lacks fingerprint recognition function. This release of R9 not only makes up for the shortcomings of R7s, but also opens a new way for OPPO front fingerprint identification. At the bottom of R9, a round button design is adopted. A metal ring around the button sets off the color of the back, which is particularly conspicuous under the white front panel. The keys are firm and firm, with strong rebound, and the sound of keys is deep and fast. Continuous pressing is not difficult at all. The keys for fingerprint identification are made of zirconium and precious stones. The first feeling of finger touch is that they are silky and smooth and warm as jade. Although the zirconium gem is not as strong as the sapphire 9 Mohs hardness, the zirconium gem fingerprint button with a hardness of 8.5 is enough to cope with users' daily friction and touch. Even if it is used for a long time, it is not afraid of breaking down. In addition, fingerprint recognition brought by R9 has more learning functions, which will be explained in detail later.

▲ R9 rest screen status

Android phones always have "three button customers". In the case of the rest screen, only the fingerprint unlocking button can be seen at the bottom. The left and right option keys and return keys are completely hidden, simple, fresh and natural. When the screen is lit, a faint light appears on both sides, showing the rectangle and triangle representing the option key and return key.

▲ R9 rear top camera

▲ Bottom comparison between R9 and R7s

There is only one noise reduction microphone hole on the top of the fuselage, and the headphone hole has also been moved to the bottom. Compared with the symmetrical design of R7s, the bottom of R9 is more practical.

▲ R9 side volume button

▲ Comparison between R9 and R7s top

The volume key is on the left side of the body, and the phone card slot is on the upper right side. Slot 1 is a nanoSIM card, and slot 2 is an optional design. You can insert a nanoSIM card or a TF card, which can support up to 128GB expansion. All Netcom design users do not need to consider too many issues.

▲ R9 back

▲ Comparison between R9 and R7s rear camera

In terms of the design of the back, R9 is similar to OPPO R7s in that it is also a three-stage design. R9 fully displays the signal line and skillfully adjusts the color to a pink color similar to the back, which restores the integrity of the back of the mobile phone to the greatest extent without affecting the mobile phone signal. The upper part is the camera and flash of R9. AR+AF coated lenses plus scratch resistant blue glass make the rear camera slightly convex. It can be seen that the camera module has made a lot of effort to move up and down, and it can be used with a protective sleeve to just smooth the back body. The pink signal belt skillfully passes through the camera. If you look carefully, you can also find that there is a circle of pink belt around the camera in addition to a halo.

▲ R9 back

▲ Condensation waist line on R9 side

The back panel of R9 is made of more delicate aluminum material, and is sprayed with fine pickax sand, which makes it smooth and glossy. In terms of corners, R9 adopts a more rounded R angle design, which is more represented by the condensation waist line at the side. The transition of the large arc surface and the oblique cutting and docking of the small arc surface create the unique condensation waist line of R9, which fits the radian held by the palm. No matter which angle you switch to, you can appreciate the light's care for the side waist line, and at the same time, you can show the round feel of R9.

▲ OPPO Paradise

▲ R9 front and back contrast

On the whole, R9 has too many details to amaze me. 6.6mm slim body, 1.66mm ultra narrow frame, 145g body weight, integrated design with high metal proportion, front fingerprint identification button, R angle large arc face cutting small arc face to face, and the most fascinating thing for me is that when R9 turns luxuriously, that touch of condensation light.

▲ A touch of condensation on the top of R9

R9 is a new breakthrough for R series products. One is fingerprint recognition, the other is ColorOS 3.0. Some fans will say, what's the use of fingerprint identification? I just want to say that you will never understand what you have never experienced, compared or applied.

Fingerprint Identification
－－－－－－－－－－－ 　

▲ OPPO R9 push fingerprint Home key
Like many mobile phones, the initial settings include fingerprint unlocking settings. After simply recording a fingerprint, press your finger to unlock it immediately. I didn't even know that the screen lock was set. In addition, R9's fast fingerprint identification speed also benefits from the use of zirconium gem as the fingerprint button material, which is as warm as jade, and as durable as scratch, with more sensitive identification.

▲ Input fingerprint moving picture
Those who have used fingerprint identification know that fingerprint recording is divided into two steps: first in the middle, then around the edge. After recording, you can go back to the settings and remark the fingerprint name. Unfortunately, R9 can only record 5 fingerprints at most, which is not enough for users like me who want to record all their fingerprints.

▲ Comparison of iPhone 6 and OPPO R9 unlocking when the screen is lit
The fingerprint unlocking time of OPPO R9 is only 0.2 seconds. If you don't look carefully, you can't feel the unlocking process. When you press the Home key and your finger touches the fingerprint module, fingerprint identification will match immediately. The identification will be unlocked by understanding. The unlocking will be completed before the screen lights up. You can try to touch the Home key with your finger, and press the power key with your other hand to open the screen. You will understand the working principle of R9 fingerprint recognition. Compared with the unlocking speed of the iPhone 6, R9 is still slightly better. In addition, R9 omits the unlocking animation, so we will feel that R9 is much faster than the iPhone 6.
 
▲ R9 fingerprint unlocking application
The meaning of fingerprint unlocking is more to facilitate your daily application. If you just use it as a tool to screen, it doesn't make much sense. In the daily payment of Alipay or WeChat, you can use fingerprint unlocking to replace the tedious steps of entering your password, while avoiding the fear of password disclosure

▲ ColorOS 2.1, ColorOS 3.0 and iOS 9 homepage comparison
When you enter the main page, you will find that this interface is not familiar with Android style. The desktop layout and icon settings are somewhat similar to iOS. Calendar, clock and weather will change with the status.

▲ Comparison of ColorOS 2.1, ColorOS 3.0 and iOS 9 shortcut keys
In addition to desktop style, the icon design of ColorOS 3.0 also has a great leap forward. ColorOS 3.0 rounded square icon design eliminates the pseudo materialized icon of ColorOS 2.1, flattens the virtual icon, and makes the interface appear more simple.

▲ ColorOS 2.1, ColorOS 3.0 and iOS 9 Setup Menu Comparison
ColorOS 3.0 settings are more similar to the ios style, although the options are also arranged in the same way. It is simpler without column names. You can also find the settings of various programs and background in the setting menu. Basic settings such as camera, album, music, fingerprint and sound can be found in settings.

▲ ColorOS 2.1, ColorOS 3.0 and iOS 9 Task Manager Comparison
The ColorOS 3.0 task manager can use the task key to call out. It adopts a fashionable cascade design. Compared with ColorOS 2.1, it is more intuitive. Even if there are many programs, it can quickly find the target program, and the sliding operation speed becomes smooth.

▲ ColorOS 3.0 Lock Screen Magazine
In the wifi environment, the lock screen magazine of ColorOS 3.0 can be automatically downloaded, and the lock screen wallpaper can be constantly displayed when the screen is locked. The pushed lock screen pictures and content are of high quality. When unlocking, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery, which is very eye-catching, and recognize more people and knowledge, which is also a kind of entertainment.
"Why not join Qualcomm Snapdragon 820?"
Some friends will ask, they know something about mobile phones, but they don't know the positioning of OPPO R series. It is a fact that Snapdragon 820 has strong performance, but it also brings the problem of high power consumption and no power saving. Speed is instinctive, safety is essential. R9 focuses on low power consumption, stability, safety and speed. It takes five minutes to charge and two hours to talk, which is also the secret of OPPO's choice of environment-friendly processors. What's more, the performance of MediaTek's Helio P10 eight core processor is not weak at all. The 28nm process, eight 2GHz 64 bit Cortex-A53 architecture processors, and the 700MHz Mali-T860 MP2 GPU are comparable to MediaTek's own Helio X10 performance. 4GB memory is added, and R9 speed performance is enough for daily application.

▲ Perfect World 3D
Some European fans report that some programs have flashback when they are started. Through personal understanding and analysis, most of them are in such a situation that the installed program App does not recognize the adaptation to the processor, so it is necessary to download the data package that can be adapted to MediaTek Helio P10.

▲ Wild speed racing 8
In the actual game experience, the actual game performance of the Helio P10 processor is good, with excellent picture quality, the advantages of Helio P10's high performance and low power consumption, and 4GB of RAM. Therefore, the running speed of R9 is more guaranteed.
 
▲ Antu rabbit detection
The biggest advantage of Helio P10 lies in its excellent power consumption control and perfect function support. The integrated third-generation baseband chip supports the LTE Cat. 6 standard and can achieve full network connectivity, which makes it the second chipmaker to support global networks and has the ability to compete positively with Qualcomm's full network connectivity chips. In addition, it also supports Helio MiraVision 2.0 image technology, TrueBright ISP engine image technology with a single lens up to 21MP, and high fidelity audio chips integrated with 110dB SNR and - 95dB THD levels, Helio P10 also saves more than 30% energy on power consumption than other smart phone chips in the same process, which is also the secret of OPPO R9 to maintain high energy and low power consumption.

▲ Helio MiraVision 2.0 image technology

▲ R9 is equipped with VOOC flash charge
The first time you hear it, users will doubt it, but as long as you use it, you will not have such doubts again. In real life, this function is really important. Speed is instinct, safety is duty. In addition to fast charging speed, VOOC flash charging is also safer. The 5V charging voltage is safer than other fast charging high-voltage technologies. Not only that, VOOC flash charge adopts a new topology structure, with higher charging conversion efficiency, and the phone is basically not hot when charging. VOOC flash charge can bring a good user experience.


▲ Rapid charging speed reference (faster flight mode)
The card slot 1 of OPPO R9 is a nanosim card, and the card slot 2 adopts a variable design. The nanosim card or microSD card is inserted into the card slot 2, which supports a maximum of 128GB microSD card expansion. All Netcom is the trend of development. Users can match cards at will, one for 4G network and the other for 2G network. There was a reply from European fans about the poor R9 signal. I made the following test:

▲ R7s and R9 indoor signal comparison

▲ R7s and R9 outdoor signal comparison
The test site is the residential area, with dense personnel, poor indoor signal and strong balcony signal. Since I use a mobile 4G card, I can only test the mobile signal. Compared with R7s, R9 signal is slightly weak, which can be understood as the back metal fuselage blocks part of the signal. It is believed that R9 will continue to push system updates to improve the signal.

▲ R9 system update
On the whole, Color OS 3.0 gives people a lighter and faster pleasant experience. It not only makes significant changes in appearance, but also makes the settings inside the system more intuitive. The blessing of fingerprint recognition is to upgrade the lightness experience to another level.
