The Dual PDFA technology is a next-gen upgrade from the standard PDFA solutions and has only a “a half” pixel for focusing, but increases 100% the area of the sensor’s pixel array equipped with the special photo diodes for phase detection autofocus even in low light.

In addition, the company also introduced a new way of presenting the antenna lines to ensure strong signals. The thick white bands that traverse the back of most phones have been replaced with two sets of three ultra-fine lines, measuring 0.3mm. They call it the “six-string” antenna design, which looks unique.

Preorder for the R9s is now available today and it will make its first sale on 14 January 2017 at Low Yat Plaza and VivaCity Megamall Sarawak, stay tuned for more news at Technave.com.
