The star of the show is the Plus member of the family. At the front it has the same 6.7” AMOLED display and 32MP selfie, but this phone is curved, making for a smaller footprint. Oppo kept the signature design on the back, although here it had to elevate the whole camera island. The main 50MP f/1.8 camera has a 6P lens, AF and OIS. The ultrawide shooter has an 8MP sensor with a wider field of view - 120 degrees - and also acts as a macro cam for close images (up to 4 cm). The third aperture is for the 2MP depth sensor.
The Reno9 Pro+ is technically the first
phone with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset that also has the MariSilicon X NPU,
even the flagship Find X5 Pro is on the older, non-plus version of the Qualcomm
chip. The AI capabilities of the Oppo, empowered by the chipset, would bring
substantial improvement in color quality and clearer details.
The phone is slightly thicker and heavier,
and that’s because the battery capacity is increased - 4,700 mAh. On top of
that, it supports 80W fast charging over the USB-C, and Oppo is including the
adapter in the box. The Reno9 Pro+ comes in Black and Gold colors, and here we
also have an exclusive Mint Green option that looks stunning in the images. All
three colors are available with 16/256GB memory at CNY 3,999 (US$ 560/€ 537), while
the first two paint jobs also come in 16/512GB flavor at CNY 4,399 (US$ 616/€ 590).
Oppo is already taking pre-orders on its
website. Sales will begin on December 2.
