The report, by technode, claims that the Oppo Find 9 may come with Oppo's fast charging technology called Super VOOC which can fully charge the device in 15 minutes. The VOOC technology will also charge the battery to nearly half in just 5 minutes. This technology was showcased at the MWC 2016 and has been reportedly improved upon by Oppo. Alongside this, the phone is also tipped to come with 5X Precision optical zoom.
