Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

On the afternoon of November 24, the new OPPO Reno9 series of mobile phones was officially launched, and this time OPPO brought three products: Reno9, Reno9 Pro and Reno9 Pro +. In this article, CTOnews.com will bring a picture and text evaluation of Reno9 Pro. For those who are interested in the Super Cup OPPO Reno9 Pro+, please click on CTOnews.com related video evaluation to learn more.

Before the product release, OPPO officials began to warm up for the new product, and through the invitation letter "hinted" that the OPPO Reno9 series will usher in the "rising cup". Although the OPPO Reno9 Pro of this evaluation belongs to the middle model in terms of positioning, in terms of core configuration, it is actually on a par with the previous generation of super-large cups.

In addition, this generation of Reno9 series is also equipped with 3200 million ultra-photosensitive cat's eye lenses, all high-frequency PWM dimming 120Hz curved screens, in the main image, upgraded a new dual-core portrait computing engine, while Reno9 Pro and Pro + continue to carry the OPPO self-developed NPU chip-Mariana ®MariSilicon X, with the blessing 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.

Having said so much, I believe our friends are full of curiosity about the experience of this product. Needless to say, the following CTOnews.com will bring you a quick start with OPPO Reno9 Pro phones.

First, the appearance of OPPO Reno9 Pro provides tomorrow gold, Haoyue black, slightly tipsy three colors, the manufacturing process of the three colors are different, of which tomorrow gold uses gold glass technology, Haoyue black for weaving feather pattern technology, and tipsy is the familiar star diamond process.

Take the Haoyue black color matching obtained by CTOnews.com as an example, the feather pattern weaving process is simply based on the previous longitudinal etching, through special three-dimensional etching means to achieve oblique etching of the glass surface microstructure.

Therefore, in terms of perception, Haoyuehei realizes the simultaneous presentation of matte and flash perception. Under the light, change the angle of the fuselage slightly, and the rear shell changes between the matte and the flash, which is very wonderful.

Not only that, the feather weaving technology also brings a very silky, orderly and delicate frosted feel, with an extremely thin fuselage, the texture and feel are good to "explosion".

According to the official description, the Reno9 series is not only the thinnest Reno, but also the best Reno in history.

It is reported that the OPPO Reno9 Pro body thickness is only 7.19mm, while the weight is controlled at 174g, with 56 °handshake curve design, the grip feeling can even be said to be amazing, light, slim grip feel.

As far as the author's actual experience is concerned, the feel of OPPO Reno9 Pro is indeed "amazing", especially after getting used to those heavy "fitness equipment", holding OPPO Reno9 Pro, as if holding a thin piece of frosted glass, really no exaggeration, strongly suggest interested partners to go to the offline store to feel it.

Let's take a look at the detailed design.

The module area of the Reno9 camera uses another AG frosting process, which contrasts with the "feather weaving" of the fuselage, with the camera protruding slightly from the fuselage, followed by Sony's flagship IMX890 and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens.

The circular flash is located on the right, and below it is symmetrical with the "North Star" for decoration. In the light, the North Star also has a "blingbling" effect, looming.

Not only that, Reno9 Pro's fuselage top area, the traditional glass trim has become the "star top", the "star top" side, but also hides an infrared and microphone hole. Like Polaris, it can emit a glimmer of firefly in the dark after absorbing light, and the "careful" design can directly fill up the exquisite feeling of the product.

Other aspects of the design are familiar, the power button is embellished in green, located on the right side of the fuselage, and the volume key is on the left.

At the bottom are SIM card slots, charging ports and speaker openings.

Go back to the front.

OPPO Reno9 Pro is equipped with 6.7in 120Hz OLED ultra-clear curved screen, standard with high-frequency PWM eye dimming, and this time the 120Hz OLED curved screen is standard, which is very conscientious.

In addition, the screen also has up to 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, slightly higher than the competitor's 1920Hz. As the best partner of OLED screen, high-frequency PWM dimming has better "eye protection" performance in the case of low screen brightness.

The front camera screen is centered, equipped with an ultra-sensitive cat's eye lens IMX709, specifications include 32 million effective pixels, support for AF autofocus, RGBW array, 1max 2.74in sensor, fhand 2.4in aperture.

The OPPO Reno9 series also implements the ultra-narrow screen frame of 2.32mm. As far as the look and feel is concerned, the frame of Reno9 Pro basically achieves the visual "equal narrowness on four sides".

Second, the first part of the image is the hardware specification. The wide-angle main shot of OPPO Reno9 Pro is Sony IMX890 sensor, 5000 megapixels, 7p lens, 1.56inch photosensitive area, f / 1.8lens aperture, equivalent focal length 23mm. The ultra-wide angle is 8 million pixels, with a 4-inch photosensitive area and a 112 °field of view.

Sample directly, Zhang, let's feel it:

The imaging level of the main photo taken by the main 2XOPPO Reno9 Pro is basically correct, and the color adjustment tends to be seen by the human eye, a little colder, and a proper flagship level for white balance and tolerance.

In the night environment, although the size of the IMX890 is not as "abnormal" as the flagship camera in the 6K gear, the highlight suppression and dark details are quite good. More importantly, the night scene sample sheet of OPPO is excellent in creating a sense of atmosphere, which not only does not make you feel "too bright and fake", but also ensures a sense of confusion at night.

As for ultra-wide angle, it can only be said to be enough. In some scenes, the analytical power of 8 million is relatively "urgent". If you want to take a good sample, you have a higher requirement for light.

Overall, during the daily shooting process, this IMX890 sensor is sufficient to meet most of the shooting needs. In addition, Reno9 Pro also has Mariana MariSilicon X chip, which has brought about a great improvement in picture quality.

Mariana MariSilicon X adopts DSA's new gold architecture concept and 6nm advanced process, and has the computing power as high as 18TOPS. At the same time, it achieves the customized integration of image vertical links, breaking the long-standing coordination problems among algorithms, chips and sensors, and also meets the computing power and energy efficiency requirements of computing images.

Therefore, on OPPO Reno9 Pro, AI noise reduction technology can be applied to 4K night scene video 4 times that of 1080p.

As we all know, 4K night scene video is very capable of mobile phone imaging, but with Mariana, how does OPPO Reno9 Pro perform?

The first is the indoor dim neon lighting scene:

4K video screenshot, the above picture is taken by OPPO Reno9 Pro, and the following picture is taken by a 3K gear comparison machine.

Partial magnification and comparison, OPPO Reno9 Pro shooting and a 3K contrast camera shooting are shown above. In the same scene, after 4K video shooting is turned on, the performance of OPPO Reno9 Pro is obviously stronger, the overall brightness of the picture is higher, and the picture is purer and transparent, and the atmosphere of neon lights at night is very strong. The following comparison of the performance of the model is more likely to be seen 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, dark details have been lost.

Let's take a look at another scene:

4K video screenshot, the picture above is taken by OPPO Reno9 Pro, and the picture below shows the night lights of a 3K contrast model, there is no light source around it, and there are slightly complex neon lights in the distance. In this scene, Mariana's AI noise reduction brings a very significant improvement. In contrast, the Reno9 Pro sample is cleaner and the sky has less noise.

Partial magnification and comparison, OPPO Reno9 Pro shooting, some 3K contrast camera shooting when we enlarge the dark area, the advantage of Reno9 Pro is more obvious. The Reno9 Pro on the left also shows the detailed contours of buildings and palm trees, while the contrast sample on the right has been pasted so much that it is even illegible.

Therefore, we can simply come to a conclusion that OPPO Reno9 Pro's 4K night scene shooting ability is indeed the only one in the same category, IMX890 + Mariana, which can make every frame of 4K video as clear as a super night view photo.

However, it is important to note that OPPO Reno9 Pro's 4K ultra-clear night scene video still supports 30FPS shooting at the highest level. If you can access 60FPS, the experience is obviously better.

Mariana MariSilicon X has the highest 20bit HDR computing power and can present a wider dynamic range. Therefore, OPPO Reno9 Pro also supports dual-core 4K HDR video shooting.

The following is the backlight when the color temperature is warmer before sunset, and the shooting coincides with the overcast and rainy weather in Qingdao, so there is still thick fog in the distance, which is also a test of the phone's imaging ability. But the 4K HDR video shot by Reno9 Pro shows that the face in the backlight is still transparent and clear, and the dark part is rich in details.

The 4K HDR video screenshot ends with a sample portrait. As a traditional advantage of OPPO, OPPO Reno9 Pro has upgraded the new dual-core portrait system this time. The upgraded algorithm moves the HDR process forward to the uncompressed Raw domain for calculation, so that the dynamic range of Reno9 series images is higher, the picture is clearer, the color restoration is more accurate, and the ability to suppress highlights is improved by 1 Stop.

The upgraded algorithm of OPPO Reno9 series of portraits and backlighting scenes can significantly improve the analytical power and dynamic range of the film, while retaining the soft and natural look and feel of the picture. In such a large backlight scene above, the character's face still shows a very natural complexion, and has a certain beauty effect, the skin becomes cleaner, oily, and does not have the "fake beauty" effect of PS.

All in all, the image advantage of OPPO Reno9 Pro, on the one hand, surpasses the same level of 4K night scene video and 4K HDR video performance, on the other hand, it is portrait shooting. The disadvantage is the insufficient ultra-wide angle. But obviously, the experience gain brought by the advantages far outweighs the disadvantages.

In addition, OPPO Reno9 Pro also has chip-level App camera enhancement, in Wechat, Douyin, Kuaishou and other third-party App cameras, also has night scene noise reduction and backlighting HDR capabilities. It is quite practical to turn on App's built-in camera and get close to the performance of the native camera.

Third, in the core configuration of the performance chapter, OPPO Reno9 Pro is equipped with Tianji 8100-MAX, and Tianji 8100-MAX adopts TSMC 5nm process, which is composed of 4 Cortex-A78 cores with 2.85GHz main frequency and 4 Cortex-A55 with 2.0GHz main frequency. GPU is Mali-G610, using self-developed APU 580architecture.

Other configurations, including LPDDR5+UFS3.1,4500mAh, Longevity 67W Super Flash charge, support for NFC and infrared remote control, off-screen fingerprint unlocking. The biggest highlight in the configuration is the storage specification of the highest 16GB+512GB, and the memory expansion that supports the highest 8GB, which can obtain the highest 24GB operation and storage.

Not to mention system optimization, the problem of killing the background can be solved by relying solely on the size of the 24GB storage of "miracles", while it is not a problem for 512GB storage to shoot more 4K videos.

With the memory super acceleration brought by ColorOS13, Reno9 Pro supports up to 42 applications running at the same time, and CTOnews.com has also done a simple test. Under the premise that 15 App are hung in the OPPO Reno9 Pro background, "Arena of Valor" opened 3 hours ago and then opened 3 hours later, the game screen can still be quickly restored to its original state.

Let's take a brief look at the running points:

As shown in the picture above, the comprehensive score of OPPO Reno9 Pro is 824062, of which the CPU is 196092 and the GPU is 308168. This running score is basically comparable to some Snapdragon 888 models (about 800,000).

In GeekBench 5, the score of OPPO Reno 9 Pro was 967 in single core and 3692 in polynucleus, which was almost equal to that of Snapdragon.

In addition, Reno9 Pro also achieved the performance of full blood UFS3.1 in the memory read test. Generally speaking, OPPO Reno9 Pro's running score is basically up to or close to the flagship level.

Next up is the game test. In the test, the e-sports mode of the mobile phone was turned on.

First of all, the highest quality 90Hz "Arena of Valor".

Arena of Valor's picture quality is set as above.

In a game (10 minutes) of Arena of Valor, the average frame rate of OPPO Reno9 Pro is 89.5, and the stable frame index is only 0.6 (the smaller the better). Drop is 5.9 (the smaller the better).

Obviously, the Tianji 8100-MAX carried by Reno9 Pro is very easy to run all over "Arena of Valor".

The power consumption data also proves this, which is only 3.266W:

Then we chose the "original god" with high performance requirements for testing.

We choose high-end picture quality + 60 frames, dynamic blur off, the scene is still a wild monster.

The picture quality of the original god is set as above

In the face of more configuration of the "original god", Tianji 8100-MAX is obviously not as easy as "Arena of Valor", you can see in the course of the game, the average frame rate is 46.4, stable frame index 7.4.

As you can see from the above frame rate chart, at the beginning of the game, the OPPO Reno9 Pro frame rate drops to about 50, and as the body temperature increases, the frame rate drops to 45, but if you leave the battle scene, the frame rate will rise back to 50 immediately after the temperature drop.

The commendable thing is that even if there is a falling frame phenomenon in the game, it is not the kind of "cliff" fluctuation without warning, so avoid the frame drop phenomenon that can be felt by the naked eye as much as possible.

But perhaps limited by the thin fuselage, the performance tuning of OPPO Reno9 Pro is still relatively conservative. Of course, for Tianji 8100-MAX, the original god's performance is not bad, within an acceptable range.

In terms of power consumption, OPPO Reno9 Pro reaches the level of 5.396W. In terms of temperature control, the highest temperature of the fuselage is only just over 40 °C, and the "conservative" performance tuning also brings better temperature control performance.

Conclusion: this time OPPO Reno9 Pro's "rising cup" sincerity is full, no matter is the screen, the performance or the image, and even the storage specification, all have the obvious improvement.

For example, the 16GB+512GB super-large storage combination introduced in the configuration, and the maximum 8GB memory expansion provided by the system, let users enjoy the pleasure of large storage phones. In fact, according to the author's observation, very often, users are "forced" to change their phones not because the configuration is not enough, but the storage is already full. Here, we must name and praise the "small and beautiful" Wechat. The storage is not enough. It has to account for at least 8% of the success. It's too far to go back to the product, as a mid-range model, Reno9 Pro also provides the flagship 16GB+512GB storage, which is a great bonus to the experience.

Second, the imaging ability, Mariana brought 4K video shooting and portrait shooting, so that Reno9 Pro's performance far outperformed the contestants of the same level.

Finally, it is the good industrial design ability, lighter feel and exquisite glass craftsmanship that make Reno9 Pro a rare beauty machine.

Of course, there are also some regrets, such as the slightly weaker ultra-wide angle and the lack of an X-axis linear motor.

All in all, 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.
