1. Oppo F9 Pro to feature tiny notch, VOOC fast charge, gradient colour design Oppo, a Chinese smartphone manufacturer, is gearing up for the launch of the Oppo F9 Pro by the end of this month. However, before the launch, the company has been teasing the smartphone features on its social media platforms. The Oppo F9 Pro would feature a redesigned notch screen, called waterdrop screen by the company, and a gradient colour design somewhat similar to the Oppo Realme 1. The phone would also get the VOOC flash charge, which is Oppo’s proprietary fast charge technology similar to the OnePlus dash charge. Speaking of the VOOC charge, the fast charging technology applies a low voltage fast charging mechanism to lightning quick charging. With its standardised configuration of 5V/4A, it can achieve a charging speed 4 times faster than conventional 5V/1A charging technology. In terms of other specifications and features, the Oppo F9 Pro is expected to feature a 6.3-inch fullHD+ screen with a minor notch on the top and a thin bezel on the bottom. The phone would feature a glass design with reflective colour properties. It would come in three colour options -- sunrise red, twilight blue and starry purple. Interestingly, the phone’s side frame would also feature the gradient design. ALSO READ: Oppo Find X earns people's votes as innovative smartphone: Know poll result
