OPPO’s Find family has always been the ever loved
lineup from the Chinese brand, but it has not been updated since the past
couple of years. While it is good to assume that the lineup is officially dead,
rumors about a new Find series phone always seem to crop up every once in a
while.
Two new renders have been leaked yesterday, showing
what is believed to be Oppo’s upcoming Find 9. Previous leaks depicting the
Oppo Find 9 also show thin accents to the top and bottom of the smartphone and
extremely thin side bezels. The renders show uncertainty whether the display
will be a curved panel or be housed with curved glass sides. The likelihood of
this happening will be narrow, whilst an edge to edge screen is more probable
to end up in the final product’s design.
The issue that is design shows is the awkwardly
positioned home button placement on a small narrow bezel. This can potentially
effect everyday usage negative, depending on the phone’s user.
In terms of the internals, we will be expecting the
flagship device will be powered by a Snapdragon 835 paired with a minimum 6GB
RAM, 64GB internal storage and will be accompanied with expandable external
storage via MicroSD card. For photography and video, we expect the Oppo Find 9
will house a 21-megapixel rear shooter and a 16-megapixel front-facing selfie
shooter. The battery is expected to be sized at 4,100 mAh and lack removability.
Keeping to previous rumors, the Oppo Find 9 may also
have a more affordable, lower powered twin, in the works with a Snapdragon 653
chipset paired with 4GB RAM, however, this hasn’t been confirmed.
