On the afternoon of November 24, the new OPPO Reno9 series mobile phone was officially released. This time, OPPO brought three products, Reno9, Reno9 Pro and Reno9 Pro +. In this article, IT Home will bring pictures and text reviews of Reno9 Pro. About the Super Cup OPPO Reno9 Pro+, interested friends can click on the IT Home related video review to learn more about it.
Before the product was released, OPPO official began to warm up the new product and "hint" through an invitation letter that the OPPO Reno9 series will usher in a "cup promotion". Although the OPPO Reno9 Pro reviewed this time is an intermediate model in terms of positioning, in terms of core configuration, it is actually comparable to the previous generation of super-large cups.
In addition, this generation of Reno9 series is equipped with 32 million ultra-photosensitive cat eye lenses, and the entire series of high-frequency PWM dimming 120Hz curved screen. In terms of main imaging, a new dual-core portrait computing engine has been upgraded. At the same time, Reno9 Pro and Pro+ continue to be equipped with OPPO's self-developed NPU chip for imaging - Mariana ® MariSilicon X. With the support of Mariana X, Reno9 Pro and Pro+ will support dual-core 4K ultra-clear night view video, dual-core 4K HDR video and chip-level app camera enhancement.
has said so much, I believe my friends are full of curiosity about the experience of this product. Without further ado, IT Home will bring you a quick start to OPPO Reno9 Pro mobile phone.
1. Appearance
OPPO Reno9 Pro provides three colors: Tomorrow Gold, Haoyue Black and Weiwu. The manufacturing processes of the three colors are different. Among them, Tomorrow Gold adopts gold wire glazed technology, Haoyue Black is the feather weaving process, while Weiwu is the familiar star diamond technology.
Take the bright moon black color matching obtained by IT Home as an example. In simple terms, the feather weaving process is to achieve oblique etching of the microstructure of the glass surface through special three-dimensional etching methods based on previous longitudinal etching.
So in terms of appearance, Haoyue Hei achieves the matte and flashing visual presentation. Under the light, the angle of the body is slightly changed, and the rear case stands between matte and flash, which is very wonderful.
Not only that, the feather weaving process also brings an extremely silky and orderly delicate matte feel. Paired with the extremely thin body, the texture and feel are so good that they are "exploded".
According to official description, the Reno9 series is not only the thinnest Reno, but also the best feel of Reno in history.
It is reported that the thickness of the OPPO Reno9 Pro is only 7.19mm, and the weight is controlled at 174g. With a 56° handshake curve design, the grip feel can even be said to be amazing, with a light and slender grip feel.
As far as the author's actual feelings are concerned, the feel of the OPPO Reno9 Pro is indeed "surprising", especially after getting used to those heavy "fitness equipment", holding the OPPO Reno9 Pro, as if holding a thin piece of frosted glass . It is not an exaggeration at all. It is highly recommended that interested friends go to offline stores to experience it yourself.
Let’s take a look at the detailed design. The camera module area uses another AG matte process, which contrasts with the "feather weaving pattern" of the body. The camera slightly raised on the body, and the upper and lower cameras are , Sony big bottom flagship main camera IMX890, 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens.
Ring flash is located on the right side, and the symmetrical below is the "Polaris" used to decorate. In the light, the Polaris also has a "blingbling" effect, which is looming.
Not only that, the traditional glass decoration on the top area of the Reno9 Pro has become the "Starry Sky Top". On the side of the "Starry Sky Top", an infrared and microphone opening is also hidden. Like "Polaris", after absorbing light, it can emit a light in the dark. It is a very "scrupulous" design that directly fills the exquisiteness of the product.
is very familiar with other aspects of the design. The power button is decorated with green, located on the right side of the body, and the volume button is located on the left side.
at the bottom is the SIM card slot, charging port and speaker opening.
Back to the front.
OPPO Reno9 Pro is equipped with a 6.7-inch 120Hz OLED ultra-clear curved screen, which is standard with high-frequency PWM eye protection dimming. This time, the 120Hz OLED curved screen is standard for the entire series, which is very conscientious.
In addition, this screen also has high-frequency PWM dimming up to 2160Hz, which is slightly higher than the 1920Hz of its competitors. As the best partner for OLED screens, high-frequency PWM dimming has better "eye protection" performance when the screen is low brightness.
front camera screen is centered, equipped with a super photosensitive cat-eye lens IMX709, and the specifications include 32 million effective pixels, supports AF autofocus, RGBW array, 1/2.74-inch sensor, and f/2.4 aperture.
OPPO Reno9 series also implements a 2.32mm ultra-narrow screen bezel. In terms of appearance, the frame of Reno9 Pro basically achieves the visual "four sides are narrow".
2. Images
First of all, in terms of hardware specifications, the wide-angle main camera of OPPO Reno9 Pro is Sony IMX890 sensor, 50 megapixels, 7P lens, 1/1.56 inch photosensitive area, f/1.8 lens aperture, equivalent focal length 23mm. The ultra-wide angle is 8 million pixels, with a 1/4-inch photosensitive area and a 112° super large field of view.
directly upload the sample. Please feel it:
OPPO Reno9 Pro The imaging level of the main camera is basically impossible to find. The color adjustment tends to be seen by the human eye, and it is a little colder. As for white balance and tolerance, it is also a flagship level.
In the night environment, although the size of the IMX890 is not as "abnormal" as the flagship main camera of the 6K gear, the highlight suppression and dark details all have very good performance. More importantly, OPPO's night view sample is excellent in creating the atmosphere. It will not make you feel "bright is too fake", but also ensure the blurry feeling of the night and have a good grasp of light and shadow.
As for ultra wide angle, it can only be said to be enough. In some scenarios, the resolution of 8 million is still relatively "rush". If you want to take good samples, you have relatively high requirements for light.
Generally speaking, during daily shooting, this IMX890 sensor is enough to meet most shooting needs. In addition, Reno9 Pro and Mariana MariSilicon X chip support have brought a significant improvement in shooting quality.
Mariana MariSilicon X adopts the new gold architecture concept of DSA and the advanced 6nm process. It has a computing power of up to 18TOPS. At the same time, it has customized and integrated image vertical links, breaking the long-standing coordination problems between algorithms, chips and sensors and , and also meeting the computing power and energy efficiency requirements proposed by computing images.
Therefore, on OPPO Reno9 Pro, AI noise reduction technology can be applied to 4K night scene videos that are 4 times more than 1080P.
As we all know, 4K night view video is very good at the imaging capabilities of mobile phones. With Mariana, how does OPPO Reno9 Pro perform?
is the first of all the indoor dim neon light scene:
K video screenshot, the picture above is taken by OPPO Reno9 Pro, the picture below is taken by a certain 3K gear comparison model
As shown in the comparison picture above, in the same scene, after 4K video shooting is turned on, OPPO Reno9 Pro The performance is obviously stronger than the level, the overall brightness of the picture is higher, and the picture is purer and transparent, and the atmosphere of neon lights at night is strong; compared with the performance of the model below, it is more inclined to see by the human eye. The advantage is that the suppression of highlights is better, but the disadvantage is also obvious: the white walls have a lot of noise, and the details of the dark part have been lost.
Let’s look at another scene:
K video screenshot, the above picture is taken by OPPO Reno9 Pro, the following picture is taken by a certain 3K gear comparison model to shoot
city night lights, there is no light source around, and there are slightly complex neon lights in the distance. In this scenario, Mariana's AI noise reduction brought a very significant improvement. In contrast, the sample of the Reno9 Pro is cleaner and the sky has less noise.
When we enlarge the dark area, the advantages of Reno9 Pro are more obvious. The Reno9 Pro on the left can also present the detailed outlines of the building and palm tree , while the comparison sample on the right has been blurred into a piece and can't even be identified.
So, we can simply make the conclusion that the OPPO Reno9 Pro's 4K night scene shooting ability is indeed unique among products in the same gear. IMX890 + Mariana can make every frame of 4K video as clear as a super night scene photo.
However, one thing to note is that OPPO Reno9 Pro's 4K ultra-clear night view video still supports up to 30FPS shooting. If you can use 60FPS, the experience will obviously be better.
Mariana MariSilicon X has up to 20 bits of HDR computing power and can present a wider dynamic range. Therefore, OPPO Reno9 Pro also supports dual-core 4K HDR video shooting.
Below is the backlight when the color temperature is warmer before sunset. The shooting was rainy and rainy weather in Qingdao, so there is still thick fog that has not yet dissipated in the distance. This scene also tests the imaging ability of the mobile phone. However, the 4K HDR video shot by Reno9 Pro can be seen that the faces under backlight are still transparent and clear, and the dark details are rich.

is the last portrait. As the traditional advantage of OPPO, OPPO Reno9 Pro has upgraded a brand new dual-core portrait photography system this time. The upgraded algorithm moves the HDR process forward to the Raw field with uncompressed data for calculation, making the dynamic range of images shot by Reno9 series higher, clearer pictures, and more accurate color restoration, and improves the suppression ability of highlights by 1 Stop.
OPPO Reno9 series can significantly improve the resolution and dynamic range of the film, while retaining a soft and natural picture view. In the big backlight scene like the picture above, the character's face still presents a very natural skin tone, and has a certain beauty effect, making the skin become cleaner and oilier, and does not have the "fake beauty" effect of PS.
In short, the image advantages of OPPO Reno9 Pro are, on the one hand, surpassing the same level of 4K night view video and 4K HDR video performance, and on the other hand, on portrait shooting. The disadvantage is that it is not enough ultra-wide angle. But obviously, the experience gain brought by advantages is far greater than the disadvantages.
In addition, OPPO Reno9 Pro also has chip-level App camera enhancement, and in third-party App cameras such as WeChat , Douyin , Kuaishou, etc., it also has night view noise reduction and backlight HDR capabilities. Open the app's built-in camera and you can get performance close to the native camera, which is quite practical.
3. Performance chapter
core configuration, OPPO Reno9 Pro is equipped with Dimensity 8100-MAX. Dimensity 8100-MAX adopts TSMC 5nm process technology , and consists of 4 Cortex-A78 large cores with a main frequency of 2.85GHz and 4 Cortex-A55s with a main frequency of 2.0GHz. The GPU is Mali-G610 and adopts a self-developed APU 580 architecture.
other configurations, including LPDDR5+UFS3.1, 4500mAh, longevity version 67W super flash charging, supports NFC and infrared remote control, and under-screen fingerprint unlocking. The biggest highlight in configuration is the storage specification of up to 16GB+512GB and supports up to 8GB of memory expansion, which can obtain up to 24GB of memory.
won’t talk about system optimization for now. Just relying on this “violent miracle” 24GB storage size can solve the problem of killing the background. With 512GB storage, no matter how many 4K videos are shot, it is not a problem. After the memory super acceleration brought by
with ColorOS13, Reno 9 Pro supports up to 42 applications running simultaneously. IT Home also conducted a simple test. On the premise that 15 apps were hung in the OPPO Reno9 Pro background, " Honor of Kings " opened 3 hours ago, it opened again after 3 hours, and the game screen can still quickly restore to its original state.
Let’s take a look at the running score:
As shown in the figure above, the Antutu comprehensive score of OPPO Reno9 Pro is 824062, of which CPU is 196092 and the GPU is 308168. This running score is basically comparable to some Snapdragon 888 models (about 800,000 points).In terms of running scores of
GeekBench 5, OPPO Reno 9 Pro has a single core of 967 points, 3692 multi-core score, and the multi-core score is basically tied with Snapdragon 888.
In addition, Reno9 Pro also achieved full performance of UFS3.1 in memory read tests. Overall, the running scores of OPPO Reno9 Pro have basically reached or are close to the flagship level.
Next is the game test. During the test, the e-sports mode of the phone is turned on.
is the highest image quality 90Hz "Honor of Kings".
King of Glory picture quality settings are as above
In one game (10 minutes) King of Glory game, the average frame rate of OPPO Reno9 Pro is at 89.5, and the stable frame index is only 0.6 (the smaller the better). Drop is 5.9 (small the better).
Obviously, it is easy to run "Honor of Kings" with the Dimensity 8100-MAX on Reno9 Pro. The power consumption data of
also proves this, only 3.266W:
Then we chose " Genshin Impact " which has relatively high performance requirements for testing.
We chose high-end image quality + 60 frames, dynamic blur is closed, and the scene is still fighting monsters in the wild.
Genshin Impact quality settings are as above
. Facing the more configuration of "Genshin Impact", Dimensity 8100-MAX is obviously not as easy as in "Honor of Kings". During the game, you can see that the average frame rate is 46.4 and the stable frame index is 7.4.
From the frame rate diagram above, we can see that at the beginning of the game, the frame rate of OPPO Reno9 Pro dropped to about 50. As the body temperature rises, the frame rate will drop to 45, but if you leave the battle scene, the frame rate will immediately rise back to 50 after the temperature drops. What is commendable is that even if there is over-frame reduction in the game, it is not the kind of "cliff-like" fluctuation without warning, so it can avoid the frame drop phenomenon that can be felt by the naked eye.
, but perhaps due to the thin and light body, the performance tuning of OPPO Reno9 Pro is still relatively conservative. Of course, for Dimensity 8100-MAX, Genshin Impact's performance is not bad, within acceptable range. In terms of power consumption, OPPO Reno9 Pro has reached 5.396W. In terms of temperature control, the maximum temperature on the front and back of the body is only above 40°C. The "conservative" performance tuning also brings better temperature control performance.
Summary:
This time, OPPO Reno9 Pro's "cup upgrade" is still full of sincerity, and it has significantly improved whether it is the screen, performance, image, and even storage specifications.
, for example, the 16GB+512GB ultra-large storage combination introduced in the configuration, and the up to 8GB memory expansion provided by the system, allow users to enjoy the pleasure of a large storage phone. In fact, according to my observation, many times users are "forced" to change the phone, not because they are not equipped with enough configuration. They are often still usable in the phone, but the storage is full. Here we must name and praise the "small but beautiful" WeChat. If the storage is not enough, it will account for at least 8 successful labors. To put it far, back to the product, as a mid-equipped model, Reno9 Pro also provides 16GB+512GB storage that only flagships enjoy, which is a great plus for the experience.
Secondly, it is imaging capabilities. Mariana's 4K video shooting and portrait shooting have made Reno9 Pro perform far better than players of the same level.
Finally, it is the outstanding industrial design capabilities, the lighter feel and exquisite glass craftsmanship that make Reno9 Pro a rare beauty machine at present.
Of course, there are also regrets, such as the slightly weak ultra-wide angle and the lack of X-axis linear motor.
In short, if you have high requirements for video shooting, portrait shooting, eye protection screen, and mobile phone design, then OPPO Reno9 Pro is a good choice.
