News & Reviews:   OPPO R9S

If you missed out on getting your hands on a unit of the limited edition Valentine Red OPPO R9s earlier this month, fret not, as OPPO Malaysia is back with yet another special edition of the OPPO R9s! This time, they teamed up with one of their company ambassador in Malaysia, Min Chen.

While it is still essentially the same hardware as the standard R9s that was launched earlier this year, it receives the same striking red finish as the Valentine Red Edition, but this time, instead of offering customised engraving, all OPPO R9s Min Chen Special Edition will have the artist’s signature laser-engraved on its back, much like the OPPO F1s Ayda Jebat Edition. To make it extra special, the OPPO R9s Min Chen Special Edition box set will include a mini Min Chen standee, four postcards featuring the artist’s photo, and a phone cover featuring a cartoonised image of the artist.
