Oppo today announced the R9 and R9 Plus smartphones, two all-metal devices that feature an updated version of Oppo's Color OS. Both the R9 and R9 Plus run Color OS 3.0, which is based on Android 5.1 Lollipop, and is not as heavy as the previous version of ColorOS. The handsets fall into the affordable premium category. Oppo used a new manufacturing process to reduce the thickness of the side bezels, which is down to 1.66mm. Shared hardware features include fingerprint sensors, Oppo's Vooc rapid charging, 16-megapixel front-facing, wide-angle cameras, and 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage.

R9 Plus: The larger of the two phones has a 6-inch full HD display, octa-core Snapdragon 652 processor, and a 16-megapixel Sony camera with an aperture of f/2.0 and phase-detection auto focus. The R9 Plus has a 4,210mAh battery.
R9: The R9 is a bit smaller than the R9 Plus thanks to its 5.5-inch full HD screen. It is powered by a MediaTek Helio P10 processor. The R9's main camera shoots 13-megapixel images and captures 4K video. The lens has an aperture of f/2.2. Its battery offers 2,850mAh of capacity.

The R9 Plus arrives in China April 12 for $505, while the R9 streets March 24 for $430. Oppo did not say if either phone will be made available to U.S. consumers.
