What's in a phone? Is it the exclusive style that it radiates effortlessly portraying status and confidence or is it the functionality that caters for all your mobile phone needs on the go?
Balancing the two has been a delicate yet necessary requisite to fulfill as manufacturers go the extra mile to outpace their competitors and set unimaginable limits.
New in the market and towering above the rest is the new OPPO F9 - a device which most noticeably leverages fast-charge technology that effectively phases out the sudden panic brought about by low battery percentages.
The VOOC flash charge sets OPPO F9 apart from other flash chargers in that, while competitors use high voltage to increase the speed of charging, this phone uses a low voltage fast charging mechanism.
This ensures a safe charging process with five layers of protection from the charging adapter to the smartphone, including low temperature and voltage, thereby increasing the battery life and durability.
A single 5-minute charge can give you up to two hours talk time, making it a perfect fit for today’s fast-paced customer.
What’s even better is that with a 3500mAh battery capacity, the handset utilizes a smart power management system to prevent battery drain. By learning and establishing your usage patterns and habits over time, the system closes inactive apps to save power.
A closer look on the phone’s design and it oozes sophistication with colour OS 5.2 that is easy on the eyes. The graduated colours are warm yet crisp, intoxicating yet comforting and best of all, inviting and soothing at the same time.
The front has a spectacular water drop screen, that allows for a creative way to place the front camera, and light sensor and speaker. It creates maximum room on the 6.3-inch screen to view videos and capture photos.
The back also has a gradient that sparkles in the light, whose prominence is enhanced by its reflective glass surface.
Switching between apps is not only seamless but lossless as the apps save data even after you exit. This is facilitated by its 4GB or 6GB ram, depending on which variant you chose, and further underscored by two, quad-core microprocessors and 64 GB storage for both models.
The dual rear camera (16MP + 2MP) provides an accurate calculation of the nearest and the furthest objects on a photo to optimise the focus and make your subject stand out from its surrounding.
The F9 builds on OPPO’s reputation as a camera phone. Its front camera has megapixels in excess of 25, and artificial intelligence to find the perfect balance of brightness, exposure, color and contrast in every single selfie.
The excitement over the phone has not been without cause as you have clearly seen. It is truly a trailblazer in the market of mid-range smartphones.
The OPPO F9 is currently retailing at a price of Ksh 35,990 for the 4GB version and for the 6GB for Ksh 37,990.
