Oppo launches R9S New Year Anniversary Edition

Oppo, a major brand in China, could not have missed the local New Year celebrations that take place next week. The special edition R9S smartphone comes just in time for those who were not happy with the gold, rose gold, or black color options available for the regular model. On the inside, Oppo R9S New Year Anniversary Edition does not come with any surprises.

The specs and features are the same as those of the regular model - Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 SoC, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB internal storage, 16 MP cameras on both front and back, a fingerprint reader on the front, all powered by a non-removable 3,010 mAh battery. Sadly, it looks like the handset will come loaded with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow like the regular edition that made its debut back in October.

While the new Oppo R9S New Year Anniversary Edition definitely looks good and would surely sell well outside China as well, we have no information about its international availability at this time. In China, it can be already acquired for ¥2,799 CNY (roughly $405 USD).
