A recent teaser of the Oppo R9S surfaced on several video sharing websites lately. The teaser suggests that Oppo is planning to release the device sooner than expected. Despite Oppo's silence regarding the status of the RS9, some tech forums have hinted that the device is already in production.

The teaser flaunts a banner in Chinese which translates to "The next one?" The banner also teased about the phone's camera specs, as well as other hardware information.

The Oppo R9 boasts of an impressive 16-megapixel front facing camera. If the recently leaked teaser is true, the Oppo R9S promises an even better specs than that. Some tech analysts claim that the R9S will have a better camera software, but not an upgraded camera sensor.

According to Giz China, the Oppo R9S will sport a Super VOOC fast charging technology which the company introduced earlier this year at the Mobile World Congress. It is also widely speculated that the device will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset.
