Probably the biggest selling point of the Oppo R9s is the cameras that Oppo is bundling with the device. Oppo says that they have partnered with Sony to jointly develop the SOny IMX 398 sensor present on the Oppo R9s. The sensor itself features Dual Pixel AF technology for better focus and to top things off, both the front and rear cameras are virtually the same.

But beyond that, the Oppo R9s looks to be a pretty decent flagship smartphone. It might not have the best processing package available but it does come with a pretty compact design, a speedy fingerprint scanner on the front of the device, a premium aluminium build that Oppo says increases network performance and this is an Oppo device after all so the R9s does come with the company's proprietary VOOC fast charging.
