Both the smartphones are equipped with 16-megapixel front-facing cameras. Going by the outlook, both the devices bear a stark resemblance with the Apple iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. This is not the first time that Oppo’s design looks like a clear rip-off from Apple’s iPhone, the Oppo R7 too had the similar design as the Apple iPhone 6.

The Oppo R9 features a 5.5-inch 1080p display with 77.68% screen-to-body ratio that gives it an almost bezel-less outlook. The phone is powered by a 2GHz octa-Core MediaTek Helio X10 processor clubbed with 4GB of RAM and 64GB internal storage (expandable up to 128GB). It sports 13-megapixel rear camera with LED flash, PDAF, and a 16-megapixel selfie camera. On the other hand, the Oppo R9 Plus comes with similar specs, but it features a 6-inch 1080p display, and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 (MSM8976) processor, a 16-megapixel rear and front camera with Sony IMX298 sensor. Both the devices feature a fingerprint scanner embedded in the home button, and run Android 5.1 Lollipop with ColorOS 3.0 skinned on top.
