Oppo K9 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Oppo K9 Pro - shuffle cards

The Chinese concern BBK, which includes many of the most popular smartphone manufacturers, is not averse to earning additional profits. One way to get one is to release essentially identical phones under different brands. The hero of today's review painfully closely resembles the bestseller Realme GT Neo with its technical characteristics, differing from it only in minor design touches.

The appearance of the new item is similar to that of the previously mentioned Android smartphone, however, the design of the three photo modules is taken over from a similar block of Poco M3 cameras. If the front panel can be confused with the flagship one thanks to the narrow display bezels and the inconspicuous lens of the 16-megapixel selfie camera, the widespread use of plastic on the back and sides reveals the real price of the gadget. At the same time, the 6.43-inch AMOLED display is endowed with everything you need to please the buyer. The refresh rate of 120 hertz significantly improves the smoothness of the content, there are no problems with brightness. The in-screen fingerprint sensor is also praised for its accuracy and responsiveness.

The Mediatek Dimensity 1200 processor is a worthy alternative to top-end solutions from Qualcomm, which, together with 8GB / 12GB of RAM and a powerful Mali G77 MC9 video adapter, is ready to demonstrate maximum graphics even in Genshin Impact, the most resource-intensive Android game today. At the same time, in terms of energy efficiency, the chipset turned out to be excellent, it does not suffer from exorbitant values of throttling, and from a 4500mAh battery it provides a day and a half of device operation. In this case, the battery is charged in half an hour at the outlet (fast charging at 65W ). There is no slot for microSD cards, so you should decide in advance whether you need 128 or 256GB of internal storage.

In addition to the materials used to manufacture the device, savings are seen in the photographic capabilities of 64-, 8- and 2-megapixel cameras. The auxiliary modules are frankly mediocre, but the Sony IMX686 is already capable of showing itself on the positive side both during daytime and evening shooting. The only disappointment is the lack of optical stabilization, due to which the smudged small details will be frequent companions of photographs, as well as ghosting of the video sequence during night video sessions. NFC contactless payments and stereo sound will add to the list of reasons for buying a phablet, but the abundance of untranslated applications and phrases in the firmware aimed at China can push you away from the purchase. Thus, the device slightly differs from its predecessor, but it still deserves attention due to its balance, functionality and democratic price list.
