Oppo has sent out press invites for a new event that will take place in Shanghai next week on October 19. The invite doesn't reveal much, but according to various leaks over the last few days, the company will probably announce the Oppo R9s smartphone.

The device is expected to be sold in Asia and Europe, but the exact availability will be known next week. The R9s will also be the first smartphones equipped with the new Sony IMX398 camera sensor, and we all know that every new Sony camera sensor is an improvement over the last gen. Both front and rear cameras will have 16 MP sensors.
