A Twitter user (via AndroidPure) has posted a set of live images of the alleged Oppo F9. These images show us a glance at the looks of the upcoming device. The images are in line with what we saw in the official teasers and renders.

When it comes to the specifications part, the Oppo F9 is speculated to flaunt a 6.3-inch FHD+ Waterdrop display with a small notch housing only the selfie camera. The device is likely to make use of a MediaTek Helio P60 SoC paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage space along with support for additional storage up to 256GB with a dedicated microSD card slot. It is believed to run Android Oreo topped with the company's ColorOS 5.2.

For selfies, this smartphone is believed to feature a 25MP selfie camera with AI features and f/2.0 aperture just like the Oppo F7, its predecessor. The company has already teased that the smartphone might feature a capacious battery with the VOOC flash charge technology. We expect to come across further information regarding the Oppo smartphone as its launch is nearing.
