OPPO R9s evaluation: pick a camera phone? Just look at it.

IT 168？ Evaluation According to the mobile phone sales data of Sino 20 16 in the first half of the year, OPPO ranked second in China market with more than 29 million mobile phones. Among them, the OPPO R9 series exceeded 7 million in 88 days, which is undoubtedly the core driving force for the sudden emergence of OPPO mobile phones this year. Therefore, as an iterative product, the appearance of OPPO R9s is not only shrouded in aura, but also accompanied by tremendous pressure-not to mention surpassing the achievements of predecessors, at least to continue this glory. Therefore, OPPO R9s once again picked up the weapon that OPPO started-the camera phone.

▲OPPO R9s evaluation: rewriting the ranking of camera phones Since the release of VOOC flash charging on 20 14, "charging for 5 minutes and talking for 2 hours" is the secret weapon of OPPO mobile phones. However, the slogan "The electricity is full, let's talk about taking pictures this time" still understates the fact that OPPO R9s will mainly take pictures. OPPO is so confident. In addition to the loneliness of VOOC flash charging technology in recent years, the16 megapixel camera adopted by OPPO R9s supports F 1.7 aperture, and Sony IMX398 sensor is introduced, which really makes people feel superior.

"Appearance: Leading the industry again.

From the first impression of picking it up, from the screen size to the circumference of the fuselage and even the width of the frame,

OPPO R9s has not changed much compared with R9. OPPO R9s still exudes a fresh temperament suitable for young users, but after flipping over the back of the fuselage, the author knows that OPPO R9s is not simply a continuation of OPPO R9.

▲ Open the package, well, I saw the back of OPPO R9s for the first time. I can't help wondering where this signal overflowed the antenna. I saw three horizontal lines above and below the metal shell, which felt like separate staff. As we all know, the signal overflows.

It is an essential part of the mobile phone with metal shell, otherwise the mobile phone can't talk and surf the Internet normally.

▲ Gan Kun of the touch-screen mobile phone is on the back. The answer is

Divided into three, because the width of each antenna is only 0.3 mm, if you don't look carefully, you will think it is a decorative artwork cut and carved on the metal surface by CNC-"

OPPO calls it a "micro-slot antenna"

"

Generally, the width of the signal overflow antenna is about 1.5mm, which is quite ugly across the fuselage. However, because normal signals cannot be maintained without antennas, the industry has been worried about how to hide this "leucorrhea".

The same thing, before OPPO R9s, moving the antenna to the frame like Apple and Meizu is a very pleasing design. The arrival of OPPO R9s undoubtedly brought "creative signal overflow antenna solution.

.

▲ The signal overflow antenna is divided into three parts.

▲ iPhone 7 (left) moves to the border, and OPPO R9s is divided into three. I don't know which one you prefer.

▲ Speaking of this, the author also turned over the old accounts. The built-in battery capacity of OPPO Finder (left) OPPO R9s, which is the first to release the three-stage design of iPhone 5, is increased by 169mAh compared with R9, reaching 30 10mAh, but its thickness is 0.02 mm thinner than that of the latter, while its weight keeps a good level of R9 only 145 grams.

▲ The measured thickness is thinner than the nominal thickness. In addition, OPPO R9s looks thinner than the actual touch. Why? The answer is on the border of OPPO R9s. As can be seen from the following figure, the frame of OPPO R9s is different from the general arc frame, and the edge is added at the arc transition. Without affecting the feel, there is also a contrast between light and dark on the border. Because the eyeball is very sensitive to light changes, the eye will unconsciously fall on it. No wonder OPPO officials call this design "spotlight"

▲ Unfortunately, the volume button is a bit empty. I hope the mass production machine will pay attention to the details here. OPPO R9s will continue to be equipped with16 megapixel front camera. Careful friends should have noticed. The front camera position of R9s and R9 is just opposite to that of the sensor group. I don't know if the boss of OPPO forced the designer to be a little different. As a result, the designer reversed his position

Taking pictures: making mobile photography more interesting

As an iconic product of OPPO's return to camera phones, the camera experience of OPPO R9s is naturally the focus of this evaluation. OPPO R9s adopts a16 megapixel camera based on Sony IMX398 for the first time, and supports F 1.7 aperture. In this price range of mobile phones, the hardware parameters of OPPO R9s main camera can be called luxury package.

▲OPPO R9s makes taking pictures more interesting.

However, what changes have been brought about by the improvement of parameters? I happen to have an OPPO R9 Plus in my hand, which uses a16 megapixel camera based on Sony IMX298, supports F2.0 aperture, and has the same 6P lens structure as the R9s. Judging from the real machine comparison between the two mobile phones, OPPO R9s

This camera has a larger caliber. According to the formula, the focal length of the lens

÷

Lens diameter = maximum aperture. Since the focal length of OPPO R9s is 4. 1mm and R9 Plus is 3.79mm, the light passing diameter of the former is 2.45mm and that of the latter is1.89 mm. The larger the light passing diameter, the more light enters.

▲ The camera aperture of ▲OPPO R9s is much more than the "softer Jiao Wai" of R9 Plus.

Friends who are familiar with taking pictures know that the larger the aperture, the shallower the depth of field, thus obtaining more blurred out-of-focus imaging, which is what we usually call blur.

Blurring is a common skill in taking pictures.

It can not only highlight the subject, but also produce contrast and three-dimensional sense. Although the aperture of a mobile phone can't be compared with a professional SLR, the physical laws are still the same.

▲ In fact, the photo effects of many mobile phones are not bad. As long as users know a little angle and skill, they can take good photos. OPPO R9 Plus, which supports 2.0 aperture, has a good blur effect, but the OPPO R9s with F 1.7 aperture is even better than this. At the same distance, the R9s has been able to shoot Jiao Wai with quite soft feel.

Jiao Wai of OPPO R9s has been glued. The recent focusing distance of OPPO R9s is 8 cm, and the distance in the test is about 14 cm, which means that if we use macro, we can get better blurred photos.

▲ The low-light imaging between the location, theme and background of the mobile phone is clearer.

In addition to better blur, a large aperture can also bring more light. In addition, the light input of Sony IMX398 increased by 100%, which further improved the performance of OPPO R9s in low light. The author turned off all the lights in the office and hid in the dim conference room to take pictures of the coffee machine. It can be seen that the photos taken by OPPO R9s are brighter and the color temperature is compensated.

▲ Compared with the 100% screenshot, the proofs with poor lighting environment will see more obvious differences. Due to the relatively large amount of light, OPPO R9s imaging did not appear significantly ahead of schedule, and the color, color temperature, details and sharpness were well preserved. Although OPPO R9 Plus is not full of noise, the lack of light still causes the blur and color cast of the photo.

▲ The details are obviously different in low light. "The focus speed is faster.

In the era of contrast focusing, the focusing speed of mobile phones is very slow. It was not until PDAF phase focusing became popular that the focusing speed of mobile phones was significantly improved. This time, the OPPO R9s using Sony IMX398 brought dual-core focusing to everyone. Prior to this, only the flagship Samsung S7 series and LG G5 supported dual-core focusing technology. I won't say much about the technical white paper here, just look at the difference between dual-core focusing and PDAF focusing.

A detailed description of dual-core focusing can be poked here, and click to view the details.

▲ OPPO R9s (left) is slightly faster than R9 Plus (right) in the sun.

▲ In low light environment, OPPO R9s supporting dual-core focusing has obvious advantages.

"The real evidence.

PS: Due to the upload size limit, individual samples were compressed or cut.

Having said so many theories, I still need to take some photos to experience it. OPPO R9s has little change in the camera interface, and the operation is mainly convenient and easy to learn. However, in the lower right corner of the old version, more photo option buttons were moved to the upper right corner and replaced by buttons to rotate the lens. Considering that OPPO R9s is equipped with a16 megapixel front camera, it is also a consideration to facilitate users to take selfies.

▲R9s (first from the left) and R9 Plus (first from the right) take some outdoor photos first. The weather is good recently, and the blue sky and white clouds are very suitable for outdoor photos. However, this large light ratio also easily leads to the problem of picture distortion. For example, the sky is obviously blue, but the photos taken always look gray on the computer. Fortunately, I don't have such a thing as OPPO R9s. Standing in front of the Guangzhou station clock, I have a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze of reform.

▲OPPO R9s real shot sample Click to see a larger image. HDR mode can only be turned on when it is fully backlit, which looks quite natural. It should be Sony IMX398+F 1.7 aperture, which is enough for the clown to enter the light, and the green leather car in the backlight position can also be accurately exposed.

▲OPPO R9s real shot sample Click to see a larger image.

A photo taken by the roadside, with aperture F 1.7, gives OPPO R9s a good Jiao Wai blur effect. In addition, the tone processing of imaging is also very pleasing, and the color is full but not exaggerated.

▲OPPO R9s real shot sample Click to see a larger image.

Another photo from another angle, I feel that the color of the photo from OPPO R9s is very eye-catching, and it has a sense of pleasure.

▲OPPO R9s real shot sample Click to see a larger image.

Under the sunlight, OPPO R9s has a little overflow on the reduction of red, which is a bit like Fuji. In fact, safflower is still quite difficult to handle, or it overflows a little like OPPO R9s, keeping a bright feeling as a whole; Either it's a little underexposed, but the picture will get dark.

▲OPPO R9s real shot sample Click to see a larger image.

When you see a friend click on the original picture here, you will definitely find it.

OPPO R9s will have some pixelated blur at the detail of 100% magnification. Simply put, the edge of the main body is not clear enough, and I hope it can be optimized in the next mass production machine.

▲ 100% screenshot In indoor low light environment, especially in shopping malls, there are warm and dim lights. If the color temperature of the mobile phone is not optimized, it is easy to cause yellowing or chills. Judging from the proofs, the control of color temperature by OPPO R9s is still in place, and the restored scene is very accurate.

This beauty selfie is simply against the sky.

OPPO R9s, like R9, uses a16 megapixel front camera with an aperture of F2.0, but the self-timer mainly depends on the beauty effect, followed by the hardware parameters. In addition to the common grading beauty effect adjustment, OPPO R9s also added a background blur effect to the selfie. Well, it's the composite effect of a dual-lens mobile phone, with clear subject and blurred background.

▲ Opening the selfie is not a beauty mode by default. Do you want to optimize it?

▲ My sister didn't want to be on camera because she was in a bad state and uncomfortable. The effect of testing beauty is not good. Let's grade it. "system: ColorOS, pay attention to safety.

Due to the rampant phone fraud and SMS fraud, "security" has become a new job for smartphone manufacturers. According to the official information given by OPPO,

OPPO R9s

Although it is not a business phone that focuses on security, this function has been added in the latest version of ColorOS 3.0. "

"pseudo base station shielding

"

Function. This function will be turned on by default, which can automatically identify the signal characteristics of pseudo base stations and shield the information sent by them.

▲ Equipped with ColorOS▲OPPO R9s emphasizes safety. In addition to the automatic shielding of short messages from pseudo base stations,

OPPO R9s also has stricter regulations on making phone calls and texting. For example, the following figure "Intercept the first incoming call from a strange number" can directly reject any strange incoming call after activation. Of course, users should be diligent in updating the phone book, otherwise they will miss the call. In fact, regarding the anti-fraud phone, I think it can also be identified to remind you to "change the number"

"

"virtual operator number" and other security policies.

▲OPPO R9s

ColorOS is equipped with more emphasis on safety.

For fraudulent short messages, short messages sent by strange numbers will be screened, while short messages with web addresses will be identified online. Of course, this will consume a small amount of traffic, but considering that security is more secure, it is still worthwhile. PS: Any security strategy is passive, and scammers are full of tricks. Users should be more careful.

▲OPPO R9s

ColorOS is equipped with more emphasis on safety.

▲ The author casually tried the common scam messages and thought that the font of the risk warning could be more eye-catching. In addition to preventing fraudulent phone calls and text messages, OPPO has also made stricter specifications for software stores in R9s. It is reported that if an APP wants to be put on the OPPO App Store, it has to go through as many as 48 steps of review, including manual testing. Unqualified apps such as induced deduction, pop-up advertisements, and illegal access to user information will be removed.

▲ The APP in the store is clearly priced.

▲ As for the app downloaded from the non-system app store, it will be scanned for viruses before installation.

▲ Some risky behaviors require manual password confirmation by users to prevent losses caused by quick mistakes. It can be seen that OPPO R9s has made many new attempts in system security. As for the basic operation interface, there is no obvious change in OPPO R9s, and old OPPO users will not feel strange. But the author believes that,

ColorOS still insists on dividing task management, shortcuts and notification bars into three parts, but the efficiency is still slightly insufficient.

▲ColorOS 3.0 abandoned the traditional pendants, and the calendar clock and weather were embedded with APP icons.

Of course.

OPPO R9s also has many new settings to improve the user experience. For example, lock screen magazine appears in the form of group pictures, and users can read some fresh and interesting news information directly on the lock screen interface. As for more functions of OPPO R9s system, it is left for further exploration.

▲ Lock Screen Magazine is an interesting attempt of fragmented reading. "Performance fever: there is no hope of warming hands in winter.

OPPO R9s is equipped with Qualcomm MSM8953 eight nuclear processor, namely Snapdragon 625, and its running frequency is 2.0GHz, which is

The first 14nm eight nuclear processor in Qualcomm, and the first mid-range processor with 14nm technology in Qualcomm. It is reported that compared with the previous generation Snapdragon 6 17,

Snapdragon 625

Save 35% power consumption. Obviously, the intention of OPPO R9s to adopt this processor is also obvious, that is, to achieve better performance in terms of power consumption and heat generation.

▲ Snapdragon 625 eight nuclear processor OPPO R9s scored 65,000 points in Ann Bunny, which is in line with the expected level of Snapdragon 625 with 4GB memory combination. Compared with OPPO R9 using Helio P 10, the overall improvement is 25%. In practical experience, R9s is much smoother than R9 in program opening and multi-task switching.

▲OPPO R9s Antu Bunny runs in OPPO R9s these days, PCMark Android version has finally been updated. Unlike Ann Bunny,

PCMark is more inclined to feedback the actual experience. Test items are divided into

Web browsing, video playing, writing, picture editing, imitating real users to measure scores.

▲ Surprisingly, Snapdragon 625+4G memory combination (left) and Xiaolong 652+4G memory combination (right) of OPPO R9s scored.

The theoretical test is quite good, let's look at the performance in the game. First, the popular real-time strategy card game clash royale. It is said that although the author is not a RMB player, he is at least an old driver who has mixed into the eighth order. Anyone who has played this game knows that because it is an online game, a good network and smooth operation are the basis for winning.

Tribal conflict: royal conflict

As can be seen from the recorded video, the progress of the OPPO R9s game is basically smooth, but the other party feels stuck when sending troops. The author went to Baidu and found that some players will reflect this situation, but the mobile phones used are different (both Apple and Android). I guess this jam is more about games or system optimization. Of course, the author will still reflect this situation with OPPO engineers.

▲ The average frame rate has reached 59FPS, and this game eats more GPUs.

Later, the author installed the glory of the king, which was very popular. Many of my beautiful friends also played it, which I believe reflected the game performance of a mobile phone. Because here is more about testing fluency, I chose the medium image quality in the settings.

▲OPPO R9s runs the glory of the king.

Judging from the data recorded by GameBench, the average score of 25FPS is quite satisfactory.

Basic fluency is ok, if online PK doesn't want to pit teammates, you can consider setting it to low image quality.

▲ The average frame rate is about 25FPS, which is in line with the game performance of mainstream mobile phones. After playing for a long time, the battery performance has also come out (it can last for 8.4 hours). As mentioned earlier, Snapdragon 625 is a mid-range processor with low power consumption. In a room with a room temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, after playing games and watching movies at the maximum brightness, the hottest place (upper right corner) of OPPO R9s is only about 33 degrees, and the back is two degrees lower because it is metal.

The warm-up process is still relatively long, and the author probably calculated the temperature of playing for an hour.

Since it is autumn, I will try to test in a heated room in the future. But judging from the current effect, I plan to use it in winter.

OPPO R9s heating is hopeless.

Comfortable durability

OPPO R9s has a built-in battery of 30 10mAh and Snapdragon 625, which claims to consume less power. It can be seen that OPPO hopes that the R9s will have a more pleasing battery life. With the brightness set to 50% and WIFI connected, the author tested the performance of OPPO R9s in movies, games and music respectively. After 90 minutes, the total power consumption of OPPO R9s is only 1 1%.

Judging from the similar power consumption of movies and games, Snapdragon 625 is indeed a very power-saving processor, and this 5.5-inch quasi-large screen is the only big power consumer of OPPO R9s. By adjusting the power saving mode and proper screen brightness,

think

OPPO R9s further enhances the endurance.

"Yes, this charging speed is VOOC.

Although OPPO R9s does not talk about charging this time, VOOC flash charging is naturally standard. Like OPPO R9, the new machine is equipped with a 5V/4A charging head. The key point is that after the battery capacity is increased, the charging speed of OPPO R9s is faster than that of R9.

▲ Bright screen fast charging is the advantage of VOOC flash charging. The total charging time of OPPO R9s with built-in 30 10mAh battery is only 73 minutes, of which it only takes 55 minutes from 0% to 95%. Emergency charging can be charged from 0% to 64% in 30 minutes. It can be said that OPPO R9s users basically don't need to worry about battery life unless they don't have a dedicated VOOC.

Or there is no socket in that place.

▲ The charging speed of ▲OPPO R9s makes the author feel very satisfied. "Edit Comment

Although from the model point of view, OPPO R9s is only an iterative upgrade product of R9. However, from the improvement of product experience, it is not too much for the new machine model to jump directly to OPPO R 10. Of course, continuing the high popularity of OPPO R9 is more conducive to product sales.

▲ After receiving R9' s post, OPPO R9s is very relieved to see that there may be small partners here. Whether it's photo taking or battery life charging, OPPO R9s feels like flagship machine's performance. The author's answer is: Yes, if you change Snapdragon 82 1 or 820, OPPO R9s will be flagship machine directly.

As mentioned above, the micro-slot antenna used by OPPO R9s is definitely a creative design. On the premise of not affecting the signal, try to reduce the influence of three-part signal overflow antenna on the appearance of the fuselage. In fact, these tiny antennas feel like decorations or embellishments on the fuselage.

▲ Classic interpretation of simple design As for taking pictures, it is the biggest selling point of OPPO R9s. Unlike other brands that jointly develop a filter, the cooperation between OPPO and Sony has always been based on the sensor level. Judging from the real shooting experience, the performance of OPPO R9s in taking pictures is by no means empty talk. Don't say that the strength is crushing the same level, and it is very possible to challenge the flagship (go back and do a leapfrog comparison test).

However, OPPO's product positioning is still very rational. Looking back at the mobile phone moving and system security strategy introduced at the press conference, OPPO R9s is still developed based on the idea of mass consumers. There is no need to strive for the first place in everything. Is it a good mobile phone to sit in the position of computer king? If you spend time on crashing, it is better to honestly solve the needs of mainstream users for quality, appearance, photo taking and battery life.

▲ The screen color is light, so what are the shortcomings of OPPO R9s? The answer is obviously yes. In addition to the virtual position of the volume/power button mentioned by the author at the beginning, the screen of this new machine should also be spit out. OPPO R9s, a 5.5-inch screen, has a high brightness, but a slight lack of saturation and layering. In addition, although it is quite traditional, the sound is not delicate enough.

About buying advice? First of all, hardcore players who pursue the ultimate performance can make a detour; Secondly, small partners who are interested in pursuing high cost performance can also be closed; As for the rest of my friends, it's really hard for me to find a reason not to recommend them to you.
