Oppo R9 review: Looks and feels like an iPhone, but this is no iPhone
The Oppo R9 manages to ape the iPhone 6S' look and feel, but it lacks the performance and capabilities to measure up as a must-get phone. Previous Oppo phones, such as the R7, have avoided blatantly ripping off Apple's iPhone design, but the new R9, known as the F1 Plus in certain countries, leans into it. The R9 unabashedly clones the iPhone 6S, even down to some aspects of the user interface, but fails to fully capture the charm of Apple's premium phones. The result is a $425-ish (£299 or AU$599) phone that, despite the aforementioned resemblance, doesn't stand out in any meaningful way.
Pros:
- The Oppo R9 is light and has a premium look and feel
- The rear camera takes good photos and you can expand the phone's storage via its microSD card slot.
Cons:
- Gaming performance is poor, especially on graphically intensive games
- The front camera lacks features such as HDR and its aspect ratio is too narrow.
