A 4000mAh battery keeps the hamster wheel spinning, and VOOC means that the cell will charge quickly. Android 6.0 is pre-installed.

The two new handsets also feature a 16MP rear-facing camera, and a 16MP front-facing camera. Both sport Sony's IMX398 sensor, which is making its debut on these new models; the Oppo R9s and Oppo R9s Plus also both sport a fingerprint scanner embedded in the home button of each model. And near the top and bottom of the back cover you will find a new slot antenna design. It rids the phones of those unsightly antenna lines and prevents the user's hands from interfering with the signal.
