The launch of Oppo F9 Pro in India is imminent: here's all we know about the successor of Oppo F7

Oppo will launch a new smartphone in India soon join the popular F series of the company. Shortly after the flagship smartphone announcement Find X in the country, the company's official Twitter controller tweeted a teaser pointing to the imminent launch of Oppo F9 Pro

Oppo officially addressed the F9 series without worrying about the details of the phone. In a brief 7-second video, Oppo simply says "The Breaking New Vision" and "F9 Pro arrives", which is more than enough to confirm the arrival of Oppo's F7-successor.

The backdrop on the teaser also drops some important tips. For example, there is an outline of a smartphone with a small cutout at the top, which clearly suggests a smaller notch to accommodate a front camera and a proximity sensor.

It is natural that the F9 Pro will feature a frameless screen with a 19:10 aspect ratio, as it looks great on the Essential.Teaser smartphone is shown in an underwater configuration, which could mean that the F9 Pro will pack a waterproof design with That said, Oppo Malaysia tweeted Sunday a photo confirming that the company would soon launch Oppo F9 in the country, adding that the Oppo F9 will present a new "waterdrop" screen to offer an "IP67 screen." In either case, it is unclear exactly when the launch will occur for Oppo F9 and F9 Pro in

The Malaysian blog SoyaCincau suggests that the F9 smartphone could have a screen-to-body ratio of 90.8% and that its launch should take place in August. We can expect the F9 Pro to arrive in India at about the same time.

This is not the first time we hear about the Oppo F9 series. Recently, both phones have received Bluetooth certification, where it was revealed that the F9 and F9 Pro would be powered by MediaTek Helio P60. The firm had already experienced the F9 series, where it featured horizontally stacked double cameras with LED flash in the upper right corner of the camera.

Whereas the Oppo F7 comes with only one camera on the back, this could be seen as a major update for mobile photography enthusiasts.

The difference between the F9 and F9 Pro is likely to be in the RAM and the storage department. While the F9 could get 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, the Pro variant could offer 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Seeing that the company is teasing the F9 Pro in India and not the F9, Oppo seems to target the premium segment.

Oppo Find X was recently launched at Rs 59.990 – his most expensive smartphone in India. The flagship smartphone will hit stores on Aug. 3, which will indicate how far the company's bet has paid off. Stay tuned for updates.
