Selfies are the headline feature here. The Oppo R9 pairs a 16MP front camera at f/2.0 with a more modest 13MP rear shooter, a combination that tells you exactly who this phone was built for. The 5.5-inch AMOLED screen runs at 1080 x 1920 pixels with 401 ppi, so photos and video look sharp enough on a display this size.

Under the hood there's a Mediatek Helio P10 octa-core chipset clocked at 2.0GHz alongside 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, expandable further through microSD. That's enough for everyday apps and multitasking, though it won't handle demanding games the way flagship chips would. The 2850mAh battery is on the smaller side, and at just 6.6mm thick and 145g, this was clearly designed as a slim, pocketable phone rather than an endurance machine.

Oppo R9 price in Malaysia starts from RM2113. It comes in Gold and Rose Gold, running Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box, with a fingerprint sensor and dual SIM support rounding out the package.
