Oppo R9s duo: 6GB RAM, 16MP cameras

Compared to their successors, the new Oppo phones have many things in common. Design-wise, the handsets sport very similar appearance with other phones of Oppo. However, there’re still some differences which you can easily recognize on the back. These metallic devices don’t come with one thick antenna lines, but 3 thin ones instead. This small change gave the R9s duo a skeeker and more elegant look. These devices are both great camera smartphones packing a 16MP selfie snapper with the aperture of f/2.0. On the back, they all sport a 16MP Sony IMX398 cam with f/1.7, LED flash, 4K video recording, and image stabilization. However, R9s camera comes with EIS while R9s Plus supports OIS.

Despite having many features in common, these siblings also have certain differences. Let’s come to Oppo R9s first. Under the hood, the phone is powered by a 2.0Ghz octa-core SND 625 processor and runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It packs 4GB RAM paired with 64GB of expandable storage (+256GB). It owns a 5.5-inch screen with the resolution of 1080 x 1920px (Full HD). This AMOLED display is coated with 2.5D curved Corning Gorilla Glass 5. This new Oppo phone runs on Color OS 3.0 based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS. R9s is backed up with a 3010mAh battery supported with Quick charge VOOC.

Since R9s Plus is the plus version, Oppo R9s Plus specs will be better than Oppo R9s specs. This Plus device will be the first phone to have the newest Qualcomm chipset- a 1.95Ghz octa-core SND 653 processor. There will be 6GB RAM along with 64GB of inbuilt storage which can be expanded up to 256GB. It uses Android Marshmallow OS. The handset features a 6-inch Full HD AMOLED display and a huge amount of 4000mAh battery capacity. This phone also supports VOOC charge and fingerprint sensor embedded on the home button like its sibling.
