In 2015, OPPO R7 mobile phone series only relied on the two skills of appearance and fast charging, which enabled the sales volume of OPPO R7 mobile phone series to reach an astonishing 15 million sets, which made domestic manufacturers who were still struggling with hardware and price envy, and OPPO also found its own successful route. After OPPO R7 became popular, In the first quarter of this year, the latest masterpieces of the OPPO R series, OPPO R9 and OPPO R9 plus, were released. Now, the author has the honor to experience the OPPO R9 mobile phones in Sina public beta. In addition to continuing to focus on face value and fast charging, it has also added a 1600w pixel front beauty camera and 0.2 second fast front fingerprint identification, which is very desirable. What's the actual experience, Bring it here.

Appearance details

Looking at the front of OPPO R9, if the HOME key of OPPO R9 is changed to a circle, there will be a visual sense of the iPhone 6 plus. But after a closer look, it will be found that the overall frame of OPPO R9 is narrower and the screen share is larger

The distance/light sensor and front camera are symmetrically designed on both sides of the earpiece on the top of OPPO R9. This sense of symmetry is also more beautiful and coordinated than that of the iPhone. It is also necessary to mention the front camera of OPPO R9. The front camera adopts a 1600w pixel F2.0 aperture camera, and adopts pixel reconstruction technology, which has better tolerance and noise reduction effect, and supports level 7 beauty. I believe that this front camera will be favored by more self photographers.

The front fingerprint identification has always been the representative of high-end smart phones in smart phones. This time, OPPO R9 finally designed fingerprint identification at the bottom of the front and combined it with the HOME key to form a solid key. The solid HOME key also uses zircon material, making its Mohs hardness close to 8.5 of sapphire hardness, which can effectively resist scratching. On both sides of the HOME key are the menu keys and return keys unique to Android phones. These two keys only light up when you touch them. They are invisible in normal conditions. This design also makes the front panel of OPPO R9 more simple and beautiful.

The 5.5 inch screen of OPPO R9 is made of 2.5D curved glass. A careful look at the screen of OPPO R9 shows that OPPO R9 is attached with a plastic protective film when it leaves the factory, so it is not easy to feel 2.5D curved glass covered by the protective film. When OPPO R9 was handed over, it was not only pasted with the screen protective film, but also provided with a soft rubber cover, so it basically did not need additional protection for the mobile phone, which can be said to be very humanized.

The back of OPPO R9 adopts an all metal integrated body. The design of the upper and lower nano injection antennas is more refined than the design of the upper and lower plastic covers. With careful touch, the molding antenna and the metal backplane are polished very smoothly. After repeated speculation, you can not feel the concave and convex feeling, and the workmanship is exquisite. The whole metal surface is also sprayed with zirconium sand, which can effectively reduce fingerprints.

OPPO R9 uses a 1300w pixel F2.2 aperture rear camera, which is standard. There is a led flash right below the camera. The only thing worth mentioning is that OPPO R9 is too thin, and its thickness is only 6.6mm, so the rear camera is inevitably prominent.

On the side of the fuselage, OPPO has designed a new word called condensing waist line. As we all know, the side of the iPhone 6 puls body adopts a round semicircle design, while OPPO R9 adds a fold on the basis of the round side to form a fold line. In use, no matter how you place the phone, this fold line will be reflected by the light, so OPPO gave it a nice name, Ningguang Waist Line. This design will make the visual sense of the phone thinner. In addition, although there will be a slight cutting feeling when holding the phone, it also greatly reduces the risk of slipping from the hand. Like most large screen mobile phones, OPPO R9 still has an independent volume increase/decrease button on the left, and a sim card slot and power switch on the right.

OPPO R9 supports the dual card dual standby mode of all Netcom, and adopts the popular dual compatibility mode of SIM card and memory card, that is, you can use the dual card dual standby mode of all Netcom, or you can use the combination mode of single card plus one memory card expansion, which is more practical.

OPPO R9 deliberately designed the headphone hole, mic hole, Micro USB interface and volume hole at the bottom of the phone, but only left a noise reduction hole at the top of the phone, which makes its integrated metal effect more simple and beautiful.

The overall design and workmanship of OPPO R9 are superior. The all-metal integrated body, thin feel and large screen proportion are the greatest feelings of the author. It would be better if the rear camera could be flattened.

Screen display

OPPO R9 uses a 5.5 inch oled capacitive display screen with a mainstream resolution of 1080P. The PPI also reaches a 401 that cannot be recognized by the naked eye. The author is very satisfied with the display effect of this screen. In actual use, no matter whether the mobile phone uses 1080P or 2K screen, the author can't distinguish it with the naked eye, and the current 2K screen will certainly bring higher power consumption and lower performance, so the author prefers to use a mobile phone with 1080P resolution between the two. Let's take a look at the live shot of OPPO R9's screen. The higher color saturation makes its color more beautiful, Transparent.

System UI

OPPO R9 is equipped with the ColorOS V3.0 system based on Android 5.1. The system adopts the current popular flat style under the default theme, with rich colors and a small and fresh feeling. In addition, OPPO R9 also supports a variety of lock screens. Each time the screen is turned on or off, a different lock screen desktop will be displayed.

The pull-down task bar is still clean and simple. The only thing to complain about is that it must be pulled down from the top of the screen to pop up. A search box will pop up when you pull down from other places on the desktop. In fact, the way I prefer is that the pull-down task bar can be popped up by drawing down the screen at any position, while the search box can be popped up by drawing up the screen at any position, which is more convenient to use. In addition, click the menu key to open the card like background application. Click the menu key.

In terms of settings, the only highlight is the gesture somatosensory function, and the other functions are basically the same as the original ones.

In the gesture somatosensory, you can see some black technologies that are convenient for users to operate. When used, these gesture somatosensory operations are very convenient. Black screen gestures can not only light the screen, but also more quickly enter various applications and support customization. In addition, it also has three finger screenshots. Single hand operation and somatosensory intelligent call and other operations can further enhance the sense of technology of OPPO R9 and are very practical.

In terms of services, OPPO has integrated various kinds of very perfect services, enabling users to use them easily without downloading software.

In terms of film and television, OPPO R9 integrates all the resources of Tencent Video. However, if you want to play all its resources, you still need to buy Hollywood members at the same price as the PC terminal.

In terms of music, OPPO R9 has conducted in-depth cooperation with Xiami Music, provided very rich music resources and supported downloading. In addition, after logging in to the oppo account, you can also receive two months of vip membership services. However, after many experiences, you can still play and download 320k high-quality music for free without receiving vip members, which is very useful.

In terms of security, OPPO R9 has a built-in mobile butler, which can not only encrypt applications, manage application permissions, self start and floating window management, but also support virus detection and killing.

Like Xiaomi's life service, OPPO R9 implanted yellow page function in the dial interface to support various life services, including mobile phone recharge, express inquiry, etc., which are frequently used by the author.

If none of the built-in applications mentioned above can meet your requirements, you can also go to OPPO's own software store and game center to download them. In addition, if you feel that the default theme is too young or too feminine, you can also go to the theme store to download your favorite mobile phone theme. In terms of service, OPPO is very thoughtful.

After experiencing the ColorOS V3.0 system, we can clearly feel that the system is a service. Although the OPPO R9 system looks very clean and refreshing on the whole, it integrates a lot of built-in services, which will make you feel that ColorOS V3.0 is extremely powerful after you experience it. Of course, some people will also think that ColorOS V3.0 is too bloated. But in my opinion, these built-in services are all needed by the author and are more convenient for our life. What's more, OPPO R9 has 4G of super large memory, so don't worry about these built-in services slowing down your phone.

Photographic imaging      

OPPO R9 is equipped with a 1600w pixel front camera and a 1300w pixel rear camera, both of which support phase focusing. From the configuration, it is obvious that OPPO R9 focuses more on the positioning of self portraits. Both the front camera and the rear camera have almost the same photo function, and both support level 7 beauty function.

In addition to ordinary photography, OPPO R9 also supports 2400w pixel ultra-high pixel photography, colorful filters, GIF animation, double exposure, professional mode and other functions. In general, the camera's functions and interface are very simple and clear, easy to use and practical.

Photography has always been OPPO's strong point. Although the configuration of OPPO R9's rear camera still has much room for improvement, thanks to OPPO's powerful camera optimization ability, OPPO R9's photography will certainly not disappoint us. The following are OPPO R9's photo samples, which are only modified in size.

fingerprint identification

OPPO R9 has a front-end fingerprint identification module that can be unlocked at a speed of 0.2 seconds whether the screen is turned off or on, which is basically the fastest fingerprint unlocking smartphone.

OPPO R9 supports the identification of up to five fingerprints. Although it has an extremely fast unlocking speed and learning fingerprint identification, the entry speed is relatively slow. The author has tried to enter for many times, and the fastest time is to press 18 times to complete the entry, including 12 times of front pressing and 6 times of fingerprint edge entry. In addition to unlocking the screen, this fingerprint identification can also protect the fingerprint password of applications and files, as well as fingerprint payment of Alipay and WeChat.

performance

OPPO R9 is not a mobile phone with the main performance. It is equipped with MediaTek's 64 bit 2.0GHz eight core processor MT6755, 4G RAM and 64G ROM hardware combination. The score of Anthare has just exceeded 50000. From the performance point of view, it is moderate and can basically meet the daily needs of ordinary users.

The author tried nba2k15, which is known as the Android hardware killer, and there will be a very obvious "stuck" phenomenon in the process of the game. Therefore, if you want to play large 3D games smoothly, the performance of OPPO R9 cannot meet the requirements. In addition, I tried the online game Kung Fu Panda, which is also a 3D game. Maybe because of the game optimization, it is still relatively smooth in the whole game, Even if the BOSS attacks, it can still be controlled stably. Therefore, OPPO R9 can basically satisfy users who want to play mobile online games.

Fever

The room temperature is 21 degrees, and when the OPPO R9 plays nba2k15 for ten minutes, giving full play to the mobile phone's performance, the hottest position of the OPPO R9 is measured around the earpiece with a temperature measuring gun, and the maximum temperature is 37.7 degrees. This kind of heat generation is entirely due to the low power consumption processor of its mtk, and its temperature heating is very ideal.

Endurance and charging

Because OPPO R9 adopts an ultra-thin body design, the battery capacity is not too large. A 2850mAH battery is reasonable. In addition, thanks to the system optimization of ColorOS 3.0, it can basically meet the requirements of moderate use in practical use. The author fully charged the battery. When watching online video, the brightness is set at the center of the automatic brightness, and the volume is controlled at 62%. Watching an hour of online video consumes 12% of the battery. Playing Kung Fu Panda and Happy Xiaole at the same brightness and volume consumes 25% and 18% of the battery respectively, Then the author randomly used it for daily use, and after 4 hours, it was completely powered off. Although such power consumption needs to be flushed twice a day for heavy users, it is still sufficient for moderate users. Besides, OPPO R9 also supports fast charging.

From the very beginning, OPPO became popular by charging for 5 minutes and talking for 2 hours, which also shows its ability of fast charging. The fast charging method of OPPO R9 comes from its self-developed VOOC fast charging technology. After the author's test, when the mobile phone is powered off without electricity, it starts charging, turns on after charging, does not open any applications, and the wifi is always connected, OPPO R9 took 103 minutes to fully charge. This charging speed is reasonable in current mainstream mobile phones. After all, after Qualcomm released the OC fast charging technology, the charging time has been reduced to less than one hour.

summary

In general, OPPO R9 continues all the advantages of OPPO R7. In addition to maintaining a higher face value, thinner feel and fast charging, it also adds a better 1600w pixel front camera, making it more suitable for taking selfies. At the same time, the 0.2 second fast front zircon fingerprint recognition also greatly improves the strength of OPPO R9. The new ColorOS V3.0 system is adopted in the system, It is clean and smooth as a whole, and it also integrates a very rich range of services. If you need a mobile phone with beautiful appearance, easy use of the system, and high-definition selfie, OPPO R9 will definitely be the best choice. We hope OPPO R9 can surpass the sales of OPPO R7 and create a brilliant national product again.
