OPPO A9 highlights

OPPO A9 features a gradient 3D curved back design and a large 6.53-inch FHD+ waterdrop display with 90.7 percent of screen-to-body ratio. It is powered by MediaTek's 12nm based Helio P70 octa-core processor, 6GB RAM, 128GB expandable storage, and 4,020mAh battery.

The difference between the A9 and the F11 are:

1. There is no mention of Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

2. No VOOC fast charging was mentioned.

3. It only has a 16MP + 2MP dual-camera instead of a 48MP + 5MP setup.

The rest of the specs are identical.
