Fans rejoice as OPPO officially brings the R9s Plus to Malaysia. Grab your wallet and get ready for the launch event coming up in early March.

OPPO R9s Plus to launch in Malaysia

Five months ago, OPPO R9s Plus made its appearance in mainland China. Today, the company officially confirmed this smartphone is making its way to Malaysia. In addition to the announcement, OPPO also sent out a media invitation for the launch event on 1st March 2017 (Wednesday). While the R9s and R9s Plus share the same design, both phones still have some unique factors of their own. The most noticeable feature is the bigger, 6″ FHD screen on the R9s Plus. The processor that powers the phone is also different. OPPO R9s Plus boasts a Snapdragon 653 octa-core with 6GB RAM and 64GB ROM (expandable up to 256GB via SIM 2 slot).

As for the R9s Plus cameras, the device is mounted with a 16MP f/1.7 shooter on the back and a 16MP f/2.0 snapper on the front. The back camera comes with phase dectection autofocus, OIS and LED flash, capable of recording 2160p@30fps videos. OPPO cameras got their reputation for beauty looking images, so we can expect the same quality standard from the R9s Plus cameras. The phone is powered by a 4000mAh battery, with fast battery charging technology. It also has a fingerprint scanner mounted on the front panel.

For now, there’s no information about the location or exact time of the launch event. So we will have to wait after the 1st of March to get the exact details on everything. But right now, our guess is the R9s Plus will have a slightly higher price tag than the R9s. According to other countries’ price, it should cost around $520 ~ RM. 2305.

OPPO R9s Plus: Is it worth it?

Keep in mind that the price mentioned above is just our prediction based on information from other countries. But judging by that price, it R9s Plus may not be a good choice if you’re looking for an Android device with big screen.
