OPPO F9: All about that notch

In our OPPO F9 hands-on, we go through everything that's changed, VOOC charging and dual cameras coming to the F series. Lastly, just when you thought the notch is dead, OPPO is bringing it back just 2 months after the release of its futuristic bezel-less smartphone. Fortunately, it looks very different from what we're used to! Is this notch more forgivable?

F7 used IPS which means its renders a greater viewing angles and usually better color production over traditional TFT which is F9 a variant of liquid crystal display(LCD).

[@aleppanagsagan4915]

Devara FT yeah, it is overhype tho. Which is sad.

[@devaraft]

Alep Panagsagan it is indeed, my guess is that they want to push f9 this year so they can put a lot more effort on f10 since there is a hype on everything with 10 in its name.

[@jimmyyao1897]

Please do a review on the Oppo R17 Pro, it has same notch but better processor (sdg 710), under-screen finger print sensor, variable aperture camera (like the S9), bigger battery, TINY chin and I think usb C port.

[@worldshaking0502]

The big chin beats the purpose of the small notch.

Agreed.

Exactly

[@Bodonism]

K B im sure other android companies can achieve NO chin as well but its kinda defeating the purpose of budget devices because the cost to achieve that is not cheap yet

It kinda defies the purpose of having a notch if they still have a big chin

[@misternegative4918]

Tian Laur tiny chin, don’t understand everyone’s fascination with no chin, if there’s no chin I’d be hitting screen all of the time on accident. Either way it’s a tiny chin, saying it’s big is ridiculous

[@capadzcabrera]

Agreed. Might as well have a small forehead and chin, ala Samsung S9.

[@matthewangelovillanueva1533]

Androids have chins because a wire connector thingy is placed there for connecting the screen to the body itself. The solution to remove that chin is to use an oled display to fold it but it would cost the phone alot more just like in the iphone x

Nice overview. If you’re going to have a notch, that one doesn’t look too bad. I see what you mean, it’s definitely more influenced out of the Essentials book of Notch design than Apples widescreen version. Nice.

[@skyMcWeeds]
