OPPO R9s Smartphone Black CPH1607 review

Improves and impresses where it matters most in the modern smartphone age - camera and battery life

Oppo R9s review

The Oppo R9s is not going to blow your mind with bells and whistles. But maybe that’s a good thing, because most people don’t need bells and whistles, you just need a good reliable phone. That’s what the Oppo R9s is, with the improvements made where they count the most - camera and battery life, putting it ahead of its predecessor. It performs incredibly considering the reasonable price. The Xiaomi Mi 5 is a worthy contender, although it doesn’t have the same expandable storage, and the excellent OnePlus 3 is a smidge more expensive, but packs a more powerful Snapdragon 820 chip. In any case, both examples do not have the will to last as long as the R9s. If battery is what counts for you, the R9s is a sure mid-range bet.

At S$679, the R9s isn't a particular cheap smartphone, but it's not overpriced either. For a midrange smartphone, the camera exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds. The processor and RAM was fairly standard, but the small little things like the sleek and light build, the snappy fingerprint...
