OPPO has seen a tremendous rise is 2016 along with its counterpart Vivo. Both these brands are placed on the top 5 list of largest smartphone manufacturers. The OPPO R9 & R9 Plus are first launched in the month of March in China. With the 16MP selfie camera along with metal body and other high-end specifications, there has been a huge craze in China for both the devices. Later the company launched the OPPO R9 as the OPPO F1 Plus in the international markets including India.

More than 1,00,000 units of OPPO R9 are sold in first seven hours after sales started and is said to reach 4,00,000 units in four days. Coming to India, the F1 Plus was launched as the successor to OPPO F1. Recently the company also launched the OPPO F1s with the same 16MP selfie camera and is priced at Rs. 17,990. With such a popularity of OPPO R9/F1 Plus; now we got shocking details of the handset from China.

The OPPO R9 is said to be exploded in China, and the user had posted the device images online. We hope there is no damaged done apart to the device. From the images, we expect the company’s patented VOOC Flash Charge might cause the blast as the display came apart from the frame at the bottom and the charging port is all damaged. Even the metal back panel is dismantled at the rear antenna band strip.

OPPO China has commented on the post asking for more details about the incident and we will update once there is complete information.  Stay tuned on phoneradar!
