OPPO Malaysia has sent us a teaser where the new OPPO F9, scheduled for launch in August 2018, will come housed with an all-new design. Dubbed as Waterdrop Screen design, is this OPPO’s attempt at minimising the notch and at the same time, attracting the consumer’s attention to their device?

Waterdrop Screen Design

OPPO introduces a new change of display for each F-series phone since the F5. It all started with the F3 with the regular 16:9 display, then F5 with the tall 18:9 ratio, afterwards, not surprising, the notched display on the F7. This time, the new OPPO F9 would be attempting to minimise the notch and at the same time, making it stand out from the rest of the notched phone. Why is it called Waterdrop Screen Design? Well, if you look closely enough, somehow the notch does look like a water droplet.

OPPO F9 Pro with VOOC

Besides, OPPO India also has a high image banner showing the OPPO F9 Pro variant would come with their own proprietary VOOC fast charging technology. It is a technology that has been absent from the F-series phones.

The rest of the specs remains unknown to us and we shall keep you all updated with the actual device launch date and pricing over at our social media channels.
