OPPO F9 Pro Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Shekhar Thakran]()
Verdict
To sum the review up, the OPPO F9 Pro offers good camera performance and display quality. The waterdrop notch design is an interesting way of delivering a good screen-to-body ratio and this implementation works in favour of the smartphone. However, if we look at the competition, the POCO F1 (review) and Honor Play (review) come with much better processors in the same price range. Vivo`s V11 Pro (review) has a similar waterdrop display design like the OPPO F9 Pro, and trumps the latter with a better processor too. Even though the F9 Pro has a lot going for it, the value-for-money offered by t...

Design and display

For better or for worse, the OPPO F9 Pro looks somewhat similar to the brand's other handsets like the A3s and A5, at least from the rear. The F9 Pro has been launched in Twilight Blue and Sunrise Red colours in India. The blue variant is rather subtle and does not stand out, unless put under direct sunlight, where you would be able to see a rhombus-shaped pattern at the back. On the other hand, the Sunrise Red model will immediately grab eyeballs. The F9 Pro ships with a glass sandwich design and has a glossy finish on the sides. The pill-shaped fingerprint sensor is placed slightly above the middle at the rear, right above the branding, and sits nicely beneath the index finger when using the phone with one hand.

A good phone needs to get its cameras right, and there are no two ways about it. Before we talk about the camera performance offered by the OPPO F9 Pro, let's get the specifications out of the way. The handset comes with a dual camera setup at the rear, consisting of a primary 16MP sensor and a 2MP secondary sensor, assisted by an LED flash. At the front, you get a high-res 25MP sensor for taking selfies and video calling. There is no LED flash on the front, but you do get a screen flash feature to help with shooting selfies in dim lighting.

Hardware and Software

The OPPO F9 Pro is powered by a MediaTek Helio P60 processor, coupled with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of built-in storage, which can be expanded by up to 256GB via a microSD card. To give you a better perspective, the base variant of Realme 1 is currently priced at Rs 8,999 and features the same processor. Keeping that in mind, the F9 Pro could have been equipped with a more powerful processor by the company. Having said that, we did not face any major issues in terms of the actual performance offered by the smartphone. We managed to play PUBG, which can be particularly demanding at times, at medium graphics settings with ease. At high graphics settings, the smartphone presented some stutter issues but the game still remained playable.

The OPPO F9 Pro houses a sizeable 3,500mAh battery, which has almost become a standard size for the smartphones with 6-inch or larger displays. For us, the F9 Pro managed to last a day of normal usage with ease, thanks to the background app management offered by the handset.
