Oppo F9/F9 Pro review

07 September 2018
The Oppo F9/F9 Pro could be remembered for many things, but the waterdrop cutout is the feature that will make it to the history books. We've probably reached the peak in the notch race and we are more than happy to finally see a change in this controversial concept.

Also, USB C is the future!

    USB C also allows for faster data transfer and even faster fast charging
    OnePlus 6, with the Dash Charge (forgot its new name), charges via USB C port and not micro USB

However why so much hate for micro USB especially if there is fast charging? Genuinely asking cause I just got a type c phone and I don't really see what the fuss is. I mean the reversable port is nice and all but i never faced any problems with micro USB.

        Or, I'll wait for the next Nova series to part with new processor and USB C.


        But I'll never ever recommend this phone on current Vivo, Oppo's very own F5, and even F7 users to just have fast charging. microUSB sucks these days.

                          Don't own a single thing that still uses micro USB.
                          Think the Nexus 7 2013 was the last device I owned that had it.
                          Even my cannibus vaporizer is charged via USB-C

                            Great battery life!

                            Isn't it funny that one of the biggest threats to the Oppo F9 comes from it's own house - None other than the fantastic Realme 1. Both have quite a lot of similarities, down to the same chipset - Helio P60.

                            I wonder how many people would shell out the extra cash for a few benefits.

                              An F7 with upgraded back design, minimal notch, fast VOOC charge, and dual back cameras.

                              Yeah, thanks for wasting your time Oppo.
