The Review
OPPO K9s
PROS
- The K9s is bigger than both with its 6.59” display. Unlike the other two, this is an IPS LCD (instead of AMOLED). It has 120 Hz refresh rate (matching the Pro) and 240 Hz touch sampling rate, 1080p+ resolution and “Panda Glass” protection. No HDR support, though it does cover 100% of the DCI-P3 color space (and 96% of NTSC). The panel’s brightness peaks at 600 nits.
- The move to LCD necessitated that the fingerprint reader moves to the side of the phone. The 16 MP selfie camera is mostly the same as on the Pro, save for the brighter aperture of f/2.0. The rear camera, meanwhile, is essentially the same as before. It starts with a 64 MP main camera with a 26 mm f/1.7 lens. This one can record 4K video at 30 fps (with electronic stabilization). Next up is the 120º ultra wide-angle camera and, finally, a 2 MP macro camera.
- Has A Responsive Touch Screen Capacitive, MultiTouch Touch Displays offer a more interactive experience.
CONS
- No FM Radio
- Holding Heavy weight phones for long time will make your arms tired.
- No Memory Card Support Memory cards give your device more storage capacity. So you can store more songs, photos and videos.
- Doesn't Have A Compass Compass Determines direction facing relative to North, East, West and South.
