Low Batt? No Prob! With OPPO F9 VOOC Charging System

I have been an OPPO user ever since F1s and that phone paved the way for me to innovate my life, making things more efficient and simple. A couple of years later and now the F-series is out with their latest breakthrough- the F9. And I'm giving you all the beef on why you must get this one while it's hot!

Functional Design

The F9 features a better design with its water droplet screen, and that notch that is real tiny and non obtrusive when you go full screen on your netflix binging. Inspired by the water droplet, this gives users a better viewing experience with an impressive screen-to-body ratio of 90.8%. Or if you just look at the photo you can see the notch is *almost not there. The OPPO F9 also has an impressive 6.3-inch bezel-less screen that features a resolution of 2340x1080 and an aspect ratio of 19.5:9.

VOOC Fast Charging System

Especially now in the rainy season here in the Philippines we need a phone that can stand up and stay up in times of calamity or brown outs. With Oppo, you are sure that your phone can withstand anything with its 3500 mAh battery and...



This VOOC Fast Charge system gives you 2 hours worth of phone calls for just a 5 minute charge. I cannot think of anything better that you can do in 5 minutes! (except illegally parked cars? Char.)

This system has 5 layers of protection as seen below.

VOOC also boasts an intelligent five-layer protection system from the adaptor to the port and interior of the phone. VOOC replaced the voltage reducing circuit with an MCU, effectively preventing the mobile phone from overheating while charging and making VOOC an ingenious, fast charging technology. You can also use your phone while keeping the speed of fast charging, which high voltage fast charge cannot do.

Since OPPO launched VOOC in 2014, VOOC has gained over 500 patents and has been used by over 90 million consumers. Equipped with a 3500mAh battery and optimized AI battery management, F9 can guarantee great battery life.

Better Photography with AI Enhanced Dual Rear Cameras

The OPPO F9 is the first in the F series to be equipped with AI-enhanced dual rear cameras (16MP + 2MP). The two cameras work together to create a depth of field and achieve a great Bokeh effect. Sixteen independent and 800 combined scenes can be recognized by AI Scene Recognition. 

For the front cam you have a whopping 25MP camera that can definitely capture your face up to the pores! In addition, the F9 supports multiple interesting camera features such as AR Stickers, vivid mode and slow-motion video.

Breakthrough in experience with 6GB of RAM and more!

Well, you can clearly see that you get 6GB of memory and 64GB of storage with this one. OPPO F9 sets the new standard in mid-range smartphones with this and it promises a superb performance. It also supports two sim cards slots and one 256GB storage card slot. 

Based on Android 8.1, OPPO brings the ColorOS 5.2 Operating System to create a smarter and more intuitive experience for users. ColorOS 5.2 analyzes and aggregates user preferences and interests to enable F9 to be “One Step Ahead”. The F9 is also equipped with the Google Lens that identifies objects and shows relevant search results and information.

“The launch of the OPPO F9 serves as a major milestone for the company as it debuts world’s first technologies like the VOOC Flash Charge, gradient body, and waterdrop screen design,” OPPO Philippines’ Vice President of Marketing Jane Wan said. “It has also made leaps in its rear and front cameras, hardware, and overall user experience, which we know are very important features for Filipino smartphone users. The F9 represents how our consumers inspire the brand to push boundaries and develop innovations that not only carve out trends in a technology-driven world, but also help these consumers make the most of their digitally savvy lifestyles.”

OPPO F9 will be initially available in Sunrise Red and Twilight Blue for PHP 17,990 (6GB RAM). Have I mentioned how pretty the patterns are? From what I remember gradients used to be for nail art but now they are on a whole new level as OPPO F9 Covers! Additionally, consumers may avail via Home Credit at 0% interest for 9 months. It is also available with Smart at GigaX Plan 1299. Pre-order starts August 24, 2018 until August 30, 2018 where customers can get freebies worth up to PHP 3,490.
