Product Overview
The R9s Plus is a brilliant phone and undoubtedly one of the best Oppo has produced, giving the big players a run for their money. This phablet punches well above its weight despite a mid-range price tag.
Is this handset good bang for my buck?
The Oppo R9s Plus is bigger than it looks, thanks to the bezels, but it’s a sleek good-looking handset that comes with a screen protector pre-installed, in case you take a tumble somewhere with it in your hand. The capacitive touch button at the bottom of the phone is blazingly fast. Plus the dual-SIM tray allows for either two nano-SIM cards or one SIM and one microSD card to up the storage capacity to up to 256GB.
Is the display sharp?
The R9s Plus boasts a 1080p AMOLED display, meaning it’s a great media phone, especially given there are barely any side bezels. That’s six inches of screen real estate to watch your favourite shows while on the go.
How does ColorOS compare to Android?
Oppo’s own ColorOS 3.0 is based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and any iOS users migrating to this phablet will feel right at home. You can swipe down to access the quick options menu and the addition of customisable shortcut gestures gives you plenty of control on accessibility of apps that are important to you.
Is there enough grunt under the hood?
A powerful Octa-core processor and an Adreno 506 GPU is housed within the chassis of the R9s Plus. Plus there’s 6GB RAM to make sure it can take plenty of hard work. And with a 4,000mAh battery, the promise of all-day juice is at your fingertips, literally. But if you find yourself running short, fast-charging will see you well taken care of.
