Oppo R9 review: An iPhone copycat and not in a good way

Also known as the Oppo F1 Plus in some countries, the latest Android smartphone from the Chinese smartphone maker lacks originality but manages to take pretty good photos.

The Oppo R9 is light and has a premium look and feel. The rear camera takes good photos and you can expand the phone's storage via its microSD card slot.

Gaming performance is poor, especially on graphically intensive games. The front camera lacks features such as HDR and its aspect ratio is too narrow.

The Oppo R9 manages to ape the iPhone 6S' look and feel, but it lacks the performance and capabilities to measure up as a must-get phone.

Oppo R9 review: An iPhone copycat and not in a good way

Previous Oppo phones, such as the R7, have avoided blatantly ripping off Apple's iPhone design, but the new R9, known as the F1 Plus in certain countries, leans into it. The R9 unabashedly clones the iPhone 6S, even down to some aspects of the user...

OPPO R9 Smartphone review – More than a little familiar

The Oppo R9 smartphone is the latest flagship device from the fourth biggest smartphone company in the world and while it looks pretty familiar as a daily driver it is immensely capable and well worth consideration for an outright purchase at $599....

Review: OPPO R9

Never have I ever had more people perplexed by what phone I've been using these past couple of weeks. OPPO R9 is one of the manufacturer's boldest moves ever, and it's bound to leave more than a few on the fence as to how they feel about it. It's a...

Just about everything is an upgrade over the R7 series, and in all the handset handles itself more fluidly than the still recent R7s.

Works fine until it breaks

the oppo is new to Australia, and there is only one service center in Sydney... and.. Trying to find a 3rd party to fix it is near impossible as no one stocks the parts or knows how to fix it.. all those that could try to fix it.. you were looking at...

Cheap, duel sim, big shinny screen and can do most things all the modern mobiles can..

dropped once and screen broke.. near impossible to fix it... no replacement parts.
