Tencent Digital (Wang Yang) stepped into the “Golden September and Silver Tenâ€, and the mobile phone circle became a bloody storm. I have been pondering over this period of time. What kind of feature selling point has led the 2016 mobile phone industry? Some people may say that modular design, and some people will mention hyperbolic screen. Although these technologies are very novel, but from the analysis of product popularity, they still can not get rid of niche groups of "hats."
In my opinion, 2016 should be the year when cell phone photography technology broke out again. What have we seen through the bombing conference in the past two months? Yes, Apple, which leads the industry, finally brought its first dual-lens iPhone 7 Plus. New products from other manufacturers, without exception, are taking pictures and saying things.
It is now the turn of domestic manufacturers OPPO. Previously relying on brand marketing and offline channels launched OPPO R7, R9 series to OPPO in the domestic market has a firm footing, this time the new product is changed OPPO R9s, take a round of the OPPO seems to be more clearly recognized The return to the flagship of the camera is their next most important task.
Micro slot antenna design with solid state Home button
The overall shape of the OPPO R9s is not much different from that of the OPPO R9. If you do not look at the details, most people may find it difficult to see the difference. The feel of the phone is very light, the body is only 6.58mm, weighs 145 grams. I have been using the Apple iPhone 6 Plus before. During the OPPO R9s experience, my right hand feels relieved.
The front of the fuselage is equipped with a 5.5-inch 1080P screen, the display as always brilliant, visual angle and touch recognition are also very good, the screen glass for the Corning Gorilla 5 generations. In particular, the screen share of R9s is narrow, and the 1.66mm border design enhances the visual impact of the entire mobile phone.
The left and right sides of the handset above the screen are front-facing lenses and sensors, but they are not completely symmetrical. The Home button below is one of the major changes, and it has also become a solid press design similar to the iPhone 7.
Previously users who used the physical Home button may have to spend some time adapting to changes in the feel of the new button. However, you don't have to worry about its recognition speed and accuracy, even if you are in screen-out mode, you can unlock it smoothly. In addition OPPO R9s Home button retains the menu and return touch buttons on both sides.
There is also a new antenna design that focuses on the back of the fuselage. The R9s uses a micro slit antenna to convert the original 1.5 mm to 2 mm wide antenna to three 0.3 mm wide antennas. The OPPO shows that the antenna performance is stronger than before, and a WiFi amplifier is built in.
OPPO R9s uses composite sandblasting, so it looks like the metal is strong and feels very comfortable. Although the body is thin, the side cut waistline and back curvature design can guarantee the comfort of grip. The back lens slightly protrudes from the body, but thanks to the sapphire lens you don't have to worry about wear.
As for the details, the OPPO R9s is the same as the previous R9. The power button and the volume button are separated. The dual Nano SIM card slot is on the right side of the camera. The bottom is still conservatively selected Micro USB interface, also retained a 3.5mm headphone jack. In terms of sound quality, this OPPO R9s speaker uses Real sound technology, and the sound quality experience is very good.
Sony IMX398: dual-core focus +f/1.7 large aperture
What I expect from the OPPO R9s is the photo experience. The invitation letter released prior to the conference was very implied, with particular emphasis on the use of Sony's customized version of the IMX398 sensor, which was OPPO’s first time looking for a Sony custom sensor.
The rear lens of the R9s is 1600W pixels, and it has joined the dual-core focusing technology jointly developed by Sony and OPPO. This will increase the area of ​​focusing pixels and ultimately increase the focusing speed of the mobile phone.
The more light is captured by the focusing pixel on the general mobile phone sensor, the faster the focusing speed will be. So if you want to achieve this effect, you have to increase the number of focused pixels and the area is larger. In simple terms, the dual-core focus of the OPPO R9s leaves two in-focus pixels undifferentiated, but shares a single microlens adjacent to each other. The focus is formed by focusing the left and right full pixels.
To give a simple example, such as dual-core focusing is the human's two eyes, the previous ordinary PDAF phase focus is to use the left and right eyes to lock the target, and finally find the precise focus. The dual-core focusing means that both eyes are working at the same time to find the focus, obviously the speed is faster than the phase focus. As for this increase in the end is how much? OPPO conference gave the answer: 40%.
The focus and shutter speed of the R9s are qualitative changes. Before I used a lot of my own mobile phones, there was a slow focusing rate that led to a very low filming rate. OPPO R9s can explode the same level of competitor in experience. Even in the automatic mode, you can quickly achieve focus. Previously, only the Samsung S7 edge and “out of print†Note7 have the same experience.
Another killer lies in the current largest f/1.7 aperture, the models on the market are generally equipped with f/2.0 or f/2.2 aperture, f/1.7 can bring greater light into the background and bokeh effect, while Guaranteed richer details in dark light conditions. In addition, the mobile phone lens itself also incorporates smart exposure and multi-frame noise reduction algorithms. When taking macro shots, the OPPO R9s's closest focusing distance is ideal, and thanks to dual-core focus, you can also capture faster.
In addition to sensors, dual-focus and large aperture, OPPO R9s is also equipped with a 6P lens and sapphire lens, but unfortunately does not support optical image stabilization, using the EIS preferred electronic image stabilization, if you care about optical image stabilization can choose OPPO R9s Plus.
The shooting interface of the OPPO R9s is also relatively simple, and it is very quick to get started. Shooting features include panoramic, beauty, time-lapse photography, GIF animation shooting, ultra-clear image quality shooting, double exposure, and filters, etc. Of course, if you ask for more you can choose professional mode.
Having said so much, after all, practice is the only way to test the truth. We talk with samples.
From the perspective of the proofs, the proofs of OPPO R9s lens adjustments made me very happy. It was not so pompous and warm, nor would it appear too cold, the color reproduction was accurate, and the details were restored. In particular, the background blur effect is natural. When shooting at night, the camera focuses very fast, which makes me more confident when taking pictures and has a good noise control effect. However, there is still room for improvement in the amount of incoming light.
Of course, the OPPO R9s is not only a rear-mounted lens, but the front-mounted 1600W lens is also suitable for those who like it. A blurring function was added to the shooting function to make people feel better like a selfie. The shutter speed of the self-timer is also very fast, and there is almost no stunned situation.
Pure, safe ColorOS 3.0
Talk about ColorOS 3.0. The main change in the new version of the system is the flat icon design. The style is similar to that of iOS 10. The combination of colors looks very pleasing to the eye. For many young users, this is a good thing, but for some older users, this kind of UI will inevitably appear somewhat immature.
Compared to the current domestic systems that are preloaded with software, the OPPO system is very clean and simple. This time, OPPO R9s added some new features. Including pseudo-base station shielding, it can automatically block short messages, telephones and so on from the pseudo base station.
The other is the more secure OPPO app store. The biggest problem of Android applications compared to iOS software is the incompleteness of the auditing mechanism, which is the root cause of the direct security risks. Now OPPO stores have introduced professional testing tools that will be reviewed manually.
In addition, OPPO has also added mobile phone moving functions and mobile phone splitting functions. Both new and old mobile phones can use QR code scanning to promptly move or relocate contacts, albums, and contacts in mobile phones. The commonly used QQ and WeChat avatars are now finally implemented in ColorOS.
Snapdragon 625+4GB memory is fully charged for 74 minutes
Finally talk about the configuration, in fact, from the OPPO recently launched the R7, R9 series is not difficult to see, the hardware configuration is not the OPPO chase the biggest goal, the concern for the market segment seems to OPPO more willing to do.
The OPPO R9s uses a 14nm eight-core Snapdragon 625 chip, supplemented by 4GB of memory and 64GB of body storage. We used the security Bunny v6.2.1 version to test the results of running points for 65,325 points, this performance is clearly a big gap compared to Xiaolong 821, but the power of OPPO is that they optimize the system itself, whether it is Day-to-day operations are still like running a large-scale mobile game such as King's glory, and watching online video does not feel any sense of getting stuck.
Charge for 5 minutes and talk for 2 hours. OPPO phrase is now widely known. In fact, this has also become one of the biggest advantages OPPO distinguishes from its competitors.
The OPPO R9s is equipped with a 3010mAh battery that supports VOOC flash charging. During the three days I experienced OPPO R9s, according to personal habits, basically every day from 7 am to 8 pm to go home, the remaining electricity is still about 25%, during the main sending and receiving WeChat, occasional calls and pictures, lunch break and The subway time will play around 30 minutes of mobile games. For a slim cell phone, I can't complain about the OPPO's performance.
The R9s VOOC Flash Charger uses a low voltage fast charge solution with a 5V4A power adapter. Due to the nature of my work, I am often accustomed to charging and operating the mobile phone. Under such bright screen conditions, the charging speed of the R9s will not be slowed down. And the temperature of the back when charging is excellent, there will be no obvious hot conditions. In addition, the micro smart chip is added to the power adapter, so it can also ensure maximum security.
As for how fast charging speed? I actually did a full charge test and 30 minutes later, OPPO R9s charge from 0% to 62%. The final full charge is 74 minutes.
Written in the final: details of the design more carefully camera phone
As an old OPPO user, from the initial OPPO function machine to the later Find series, N series, to today's R series, OPPO mobile phone gave me the greatest sense is the high reliability. Previously, OPPO R9 sold 82 million units for 82 days, which is enough to prove the user's recognition of OPPO phones.
Back to the OPPO R9s, at first it gave me the feeling that it was not much different from the previous OPPO R9, but in fact while maintaining the VOOC flash charging technology, the OPPO R9s is more concerned with the details of industrial design. Home button and micro slot antenna design, especially with the Sony custom version of the IMX398 sensor lens, while supporting dual-core focus and f / 1.7 large aperture, shows that OPPO has ironed to return to the field of photography.
The final price of OPPO R9s is 2799 yuan. The available colors are gold, rose gold and black. The price file may face the impact of 2K price-performance models from Huawei P9, Xiaomi Mobile 5s, Meizu Pro 6, One Plus 3, vivo X7, if you do not care about hardware parameters, just want to buy a configuration enough Using and taking pictures of excellent mid-range phones, OPPO R9s is worth a try.
