OPPO R9 teased with March 17 launch

As the dust from MWC 2016 settles, OPPO will be introducing its new smartphone the R9. Right after they released a teaser image, the Chinese smartphone brand has started an on-ground teaser campaign in China with March 17 as its purported launch day.

The ads have appeared at subway and bus stations in China, teasing everyone to wait a little longer for its reveal. They have not shown any spec or features yet but it is likely to incorporate the latest innovations they have showcased during MWC. One of it is a new Smart camera sensor with 3-axis stabilisation and an insanely quick Super VOOC charger that does 100% charge in just 15 minutes.

While the current OPPO R7 series are generally mid-range in hardware, the new R9 could be the flagship that’s overdue since the original Find 7. Word has it that it could be running on the latest Snapdragon 820 processor mated with 4GB of RAM. Recently a new OPPO device was spotted on SIRIM with the model number X9009 which looks like a potential successor of the OPPO Find 7 (X9007).

OPPO was at the forefront when it launched the Find 7 as it was the first smartphone with a 2K (Quad HD) display and a faster charger that does 0-75% in just 30 minutes. That’s almost exactly 2 years ago and we hope the next device is worth the wait.
