Oppo Reno9 Unveiled
The vanilla smartphone of the trio brings a 6.7” AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution. It supports 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate.
The 10-bit panel has a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage and reaches up to 800 nits brightness in regular mode and up to 950 nits when displaying HDR photos and HDR10+ video content.
The back of the phone has a similar design to the Reno8 series, but this time the camera island is flush with the rest of it and only the lenses are protruding. The dual camera has 64MP main and 2MP B&W sensors, while at the front is a 32MP selfie shooter with autofocus.
The Reno9 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC and has light body of 174 grams which is also just 7.2 mm thick in the base, without including the cameras.
It offers multiple connectivity options, like dual SIM, 5G, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, GNSS, NFC, and USB Type-C. Other features include an in-display fingerprint sensor, graphite cooling system, and infrared sensor.
Last but not least, the device is backed by a 4,500mAh battery with support for 67W fast wired charging.
