OPPO F9 Launch in PH
OPPO F9 finally arrives in the Philippines! Let me share with you important highlights, features and most especially pricing in the Philippines.
As usual, the launch in the Philippines is backed by celebrity endorsers which helps the brand reach its target audience. Not only one or two celebrities were tapped to support the launch of OPPO F9. There are six (6) of them and all of them are millennials.
Quick Details

The shooters included a 16MP f/1.8 + 2MP dual cameras, 25MP f/2.0 selfie camera. There is a VOOC-powered 3,500mAh battery which boasts a 5-minute charge, 2-hour talk time.

Pre-order buyers get P3,490 worth of freebies including a game holder, ring holder, backpack, and Bluetooth headset.
Winning Features of OPPO F9
Colors. Gone are the days that smartphones have solid colors only. Today, OPPO’s latest smartphone has gradient colors which are matched by textured color which makes the device a head turner.
Display. The OPPO F9 has a massive display, having a 6.3-inch Full HD display, users will enjoy multimedia consumption on this device. The F9 also has the smallest notch on a smartphone today. The device has a 19:5:9 screen aspect ratio which results in a super large 90.8 screen-to-body ratio.
RAM & Storage. The 6GB RAM will cater to your multitasking requirements, while the 64GB is, for me, is quite a large storage already. But if you need more, there’s microSD slot waiting for your to fill up.
VOOC. This super fast charging feature of OPPO is usually found on flagship devices. But having it on OPPO F9 makes it one of the best winning features of the device. Plug your F9 to the VOOC charger for five minutes and you can use it already for 2 hours of talk time. The OPPO Find X which cost P49,990 has VOOC
