Editorial report

Oppo A9 technical sheet

The Oppo A9 suits buyers looking for a large display, but its peak brightness is below average for phones of its time. The 6.53-inch IPS LCD has a 1080 × 2340 px resolution and Gorilla Glass 5. Its 395 ppi density is slightly above average, while the 480-nit peak is a clear compromise in bright surroundings.

Its 8 GB of RAM is more than most phones launched around the same time offer, and 128 GB of storage is above average; a memory card up to 256 GB is also supported. The MediaTek Helio P70 places its performance above that of most phones of its time. The 16 MP camera resolution is above average, although its 1/2.8″ main sensor is smaller than those in most phones of its time. Optical image stabilization is included.

The 4,020 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones from that period, but 10 W charging is slower than on most. At 190 g, it also weighs more than most phones of its time. NFC, dual SIM, a 3.5 mm audio jack and FM radio round out its connections. Its overall NeoScore is 4.6. This is a fit for buyers who put a large display, generous memory and above-most performance first, and can accept limited peak brightness and slower charging.
