Oppo A9 (2020) - User Reviews

  • Still it's not Full HD panel so won't run Full HD videos.

  • This is an update, I went to the store & easily made the photo shown in full screen mode. And wow, the cameras are very good. I didn't try all features yet. >>> To be followed

  • The usual way, it comes with a Pin like any other phone. The card slot is at the left side and consists of 3-Card Slot (Nano SIM + Nano USIM Dual Sim + MicroSD for up to 256GB Extra Memory). Although it's equipped with 128GB ROM, they added a space for extra storage.

  • This is what I found in OPPO website itself (while I'm using, it looks more than 720p) Size: 16.5cm (6.5'') Touchscreen: Multi-touch, Capacitive Screen Resolution: 1600 by 720 pixels Colors: 16 million colors Screen Ratio: 89.0% Contrast: Typical value 1500:1 Type: In-Cell Brightness: Typical value 480nit

  • how to insert SIM card

  • Why the 720p? The only downside of this phone otherwise I'd have bought it.

  • Bought the 128/8 GB Marine Green Color yesterday from LuLu Store in Qatar for QAR 1099. Comes with charger (the 3rd pin non foldable), ear phones (didn't try them), manual (useful and found out that the working temperature is 5 to 35 degrees!, I wonder what will happen when it's more than 35 in GCC), Warranty Card (I felt they're more flexible more than Samsung & iPhone). I will go for Cons (I don't know how to keep the photo shown in full display mode when cam is on, usually there is 3rd of the screen dark and contains the shutter button - Auto Brightness works reversely, I mean when it's dark the brightness goes lower and vice versa - I don't feel the quality of the 4 cameras are that much good) >>> To be followed.

  • Yes of course!

  • I have the UK model - and it comes with NFC

  • Does it work with all google play store apps?

  • no NFC... :/

  • This guy played video game on A5 2020 for 6 hours and half straight. Should be pretty much the same with A9 since both have similar specification except the camera and some features (If you gonna get a spared phone for just for music, get the A5 2020, it's much cheaper).

  • Damn sound close all the time. Keep openinf it.....

  • I bought my Oppo A9 2020 two week ago and i was very happy with my new phone.dont care what other people said about this phone.

  • It's a 5000mah phone. I have been using it for 15 hours so far today and I am at 57%. That music, videos, surfing, emails, and chat.

  • The front camera sucks!!!

  • Thanks for the reply. I've purchased LG G7 investing twice of this phone. But as my past experience these flagship phones have extremely low battery backup. 3000mah battery it has and 2k display so battery lasts hardly for a day. But its audiophile grade phone with quad dac and dolby dts highest output in category. Coming to my point how is battery backup pf oppo A9 2020? What's screen on time? My phone gives 5hr screen on time.

  • You headphone will determine whether you get huge bass or not. The DAC should only reproduce the music as accurately as possible without altering the music. I would like the phone to have a more powerful amp for my hard to drive headphones (Mee Audio P1 and the Lear LCM-BD4.2). I find the DAC to be super accurate in the phone. All of that being said, you can use the Dolby Atmos features to EQ the sound profile to boost the bass. Please remember that the best way to do this is not to boost the bass frequencies but to lower the mid and high frequencies. If you only boost the bass frequencies then you could introduce distortion.

  • me again. 6 days after buying I try to clean the phone using a cotton shirt. The blue pain smear my shirt. This is so unreal and shouldn't be happening on phone like this. Very disappointing.

  • I bring it tow days ago but why not support HD gaming mode

  • I purchased this in the UK for £219. I am so impressed with this phone, especially the sound quality. It's great for the price. The sound from the headphones are decent too, moderately loud, clear with clarity. Call volumes are great too. The screen only maxes out at 720p, but it gets quite bright, its clear and sharp enough to view content. The UK model only has 4gb ram - I don't really play games, but so far, I haven't noticed any lags or slowdown at all while surfing, reading, watching movies and using general apps etc. The Camera is not fantastic, but it's actually great at this price point. The battery life so far, has been impeccable. I'm almost getting 2 whole days, with regular usage. Very impressive. The downsides so far, are the charge times. It can take almost 3hrs to fully charge. ColorOS is not that refined or intuitive as say samsungs or huawei's. The notification system needs major improvement. Overall, I'm very impressed with what you get for the price. I love the look and feel of the handset itself. Even though it's plastic and a finger print magnet, it's very grippy and solid and robust while holding it in the hand. I don't worry about it slipping etc. This is probably the best handset for the price bracket in my opinion.

  • Yes, It has a Type C port.

  • A9 2020 does have type C!

  • how is that a5 2020 & a11 they have type C & this doesn't have it !!!!!!!

  • i could not understand what you said

  • People like u r just lier. If you really faced any problem, you could approach to the service center, not in this forum.

  • I'm Basshead and this is most important thing to me bro! Can you please elaborate about audio quality in headphones I need clean powerful lows! The bass is most important factor to me! No distortion and powerful DAC and amp is must! I've been using HTC phones until now but as now htc isn't in form I'm switching brand!

  • I am wondering is it going to get android 10?

  • Can you define Marine Green.? Sure it has more blue than green.!

  • I bought this yesterday in Indonesia. Despite what any photo/video review that you see in internet, this phone is 90% blue-black with only 5% green, I disappointed that they don't dare to make the dark green actual green.

  • so that by the year 2020 which is two moths to, you're compliant!

  • still waiting for it,not yet in our market but looking forward yo have one.East Africa kenya.

  • Anyone know how to make video call with Oppo A9 2020?

  • I couldn't agree more with you. The dac and amp also work well. It sounds good.

  • It doesn't suck tho. The camera is superb. The speakers are also unexpectedly really good. It may be a 6.5" phone but that's really only because it's really tall at 20:9. The 720p screen will not bother you when using it daily. I own this phone and I can say the battery life is truly amazing and the chipset is good enough. I can't say about the price but 128/8 I'm so satisfied.

  • You'd be surprised because the Oppo A9 2020 actually comes with Type C evenn if it doesn't say on Oppo's website. I own the phone. Its really good. The ppi doesn't bother me at all and the stereo speakers are one of the best I've heard on a phone and I didn't expect it at all. The HDR is also fantastic.

  • Isit same like oppo r11s plus fast charging?

  • lol how did you know???? are you dr strange?

  • what happen to my A9 just now? it suddenly turned off and doesnt turn on again! whew! does anyone encounter the same scenario? bought this last 28

  • battery is not fast charging

  • 270 ppi ips screen - micro usb - no fast charging in 2019 man i d rather have one camera with oled 400 ppi screen and type c than these 4 cameras with this blurry screen and old usb

  • Yup. But camera clarity is better than redmie.. Redmie phones give only pixel but not give camera clarity

  • redmi 8 better then oppo a9

  • Why this a 2020 Phone released in 2019

  • Hi.. Nice to hear this.. Where and how much u get your own?.. I ll like to get one for myself.. Thanks

  • OnePlus is the other

  • i also bought this phone last week, so far.. the fone is good, no malfunctions, no heat, evrything goes smoothly, but in your part, there is problem in your unit, you better return that unit and ask for replacement.

  • i buy this oppo A9 2020,3 days ago..I am very happy and satisfied for all its function expecially the sound and camera..with 8gb rom and 128gb ram..its price is affodable i think..love it so much..i want to use it maybe until its not funtioning anymore..hahah..

  • Yes right. These all brands belongs to BKK Technologies

  • Is this a slow motion video on the phone?

  • This phone literally sucks First of all is the chipset. Its not midrange chipset and the price is so expensive (prefer mi 9t with SD730) Second is screen resolution. Seriously oppo? This phone using SD665 and you will prefer 700 x 1600 for this expensive phone. Third is the price. Its $300 phone for the terribly suck specification Only good is the speaker which using stereo speaker but overall this phone is so expensive. I think they lowered the resolution for better gaming performance but for 2019, 720p is not enough for 6" screen.

  • I love this OPPO phone madly. I'm looking forward to seeing it available in Kenya.

  • Can't you read? It's the Oppo A9 (2020)!

  • in 2020 ips display lol

  • Sorry, it's not available where I am

  • Realme 5 Pro 6 or 8 GB

  • It is not what are they thinking ,it is what is in your head ? It is a mid range budget phone ,they remove this add that to meet your requirements and budget . Go buy iPhone 11 or Samsung S10,oooops ,forget that you can not afford it .LOL

  • Then u could buy Samsung A70 . oops,forget that you can not afford it. U don't have much money and looking for cheaper phone but still want to complain a lot .

  • Why does some specs say it has 8 GB and other 4 GB (which is totally inadequate)

  • I bought Oppo A9 (2020) on last Saturday evening. Yesterday night the wifi was ON and I noticed today early morning that the Mobile was kept on restarting without loading the OS and mobile is so HOT now. Not sure is there a problem with the mobile or some Malfunction. What should I do.. should I return it and ask for a refund or ask for a new Mobile?

  • Oppo, Realme, Vivo, and 1More are all owned by the same group: BBK.

  • Good for you. Hope you have a great experience with it.

  • In Indonesian Oppo page, this doesn't have Dual-LED dual-tone flash. So can the admin clarify how/where they know that Oppo A9 have such feature?

  • oppo is parant company of real me...;0

  • No. I just went with the Oppo A9. Works perfectly for me.

  • This is the most expensive battery phone I've ever hear, ohh yeah It can make a Call !!! And built in some smartphone features with HD+ LCD

  • 720*1600 Pixels , what a cheep Display and why 665??? oppo is now making fool openly. Realme is much much better then oppo

  • This is the most expensive battery phone I've ever hear, ohh yeah It can make a Call !!! And built in some smartphone features with HD+ LCD 😁

  • You might need to order it from Amazon if that's your desired phone

  • Realme 5 Pro would have been my preferred choice since it is almost the same price here but my preferred retailer doesn't carry it.

  • Realme are not really part of my options

  • A70 was not part of my options, thanks though.

  • I have a problem Everytime I charge this phone it's keeps on blinking..I don't know why..can someone help me fix this problem

  • Opportunity a9 is not value for money.you spend 17k for just 720p LCD display.i think realme xt is a better option.

  • Samsung Galaxy A70 best option to buy.

  • Samsung A50, huawei p30 lite 6 gb, nokia7.2 or oppo a9 2020 ? Best option to purchase

  • Gorilla glass or not

  • I use Foobar 2000 mobile with 64 Audio U10 IEM and it sounds great. Much better than my old Oppo F1s. It is comparable to my FiiO X5ii DAP.

  • Go to settings And then go to system apps and select screen recording Lastly turn On allow Sound recording. I think you got your solution. Learn before you give useless comments about the phone.

  • Yes however nova 5t has a higher price than these mentioned here. Was talking about about them to use.

  • nova 5t will do everything you need, great camera set up and kirin 980 still good for a long run battery wise and quality will not let you down

  • I bought Oppo A9 2020 8gb It costs 19990 It has new features, but some are waste features U can record video from YouTube or some other site But can't record audio of it, so it's of no use It's given 128gb, but only 106gb internal space It has too many apps which can't be uninstalled , and that waste apps takes 40gb space So what's the use of storage Camera quality is good

  • Is the audio sound when using iem better than realme 3 pro ? note : I use poweramp apps to play music

  • Samsung A50, huawei p30 lite 6 gb, nokia7.2 or oppo a9 2020 ? Best option to purchase in terms of durability, long term use for at least 3 years, decent camera and battery, good processing speed with updates and less lag? All opinions are welcome

  • If you're a user who goes IDGAF with graphics and want to last a day or two... Then go for this one. I got 8Gb/128Gb variant and I'm so happy how capable this phone could handle multiple apps. Also, playing MOBA games is never been so smooth with this phone.

  • How much is it

  • Samsung account working with oppo?

  • I have a friend who has the Oppo A9 (2020) and it's confirmed that it has USB Type-C.

  • Can anyone tell me this set supports gcam or not? is the camera2 api is enabled in this set?

  • LoL

  • such a good phone, 12 hours no charging still 40%

  • I just bought A9 2020 , but the Battery drain kinda drop a little fast , and dont feel look like using 5000 mAh phone Even on Youtube , there are some videos that battery life showing isnt that good enough

  • Just bought it today from Thailand and I love the camera options, it's great design and very loud sound, warm recommend to everyone, cheers.

  • I am using oppo A9 2020 and it's the best phone...features speed screen pixels camera...every thing is awesom...don't put negative comments until u use anything...I bought this phone on 28th September and I will recommend this phone

  • 8 GB Ram but 720p screen....! Like using bicycle wheels on a Ferrari. What were they thinking...

  • My answer is BIG NO .

  • Oppo is a Chinese company and part of the giant BBK based in Dongguan.

  • this phone sell too expensive about rm1199 in malaysia same price with mi 9t!

  • Nevermind. Under settings and default apps

  • Oppo is from China.

  • It's HD display 720P. No FHD display available.

  • It is USB-C. I am writing this on an A9 now.

  • Do the oppo a9 2020 has full hd Display?

  • check out the specs on GSMA, "microUSB 2.0, USB On-The-Go"

  • Oppo A9 2020 in Vietnam. Very nice. Enjoying it a lot though I wish I could disable the default browser.

  • malaysia model a9 2020 is type c very very nice

  • I really like this device. Though would have preferred it if it had a sensor at the front. Pls what's the price?

  • Apo A9 2020 released recently I want know country of origin.

  • The only downgrade is 720p micro usb overall is fine good for budgetarian lmao .

  • NFC..... Nearby field communication.......It is some kind of infrared :)

  • Near Field Connection

  • the a9 2020 is using usb typec port not micro usb port tanga

  • So much ppl dumb enough to pre order this, they cheated customer with "8GB" ram for cheap price. Yea good way try ruin other competitor price for selling dumb fake low spec stuff

  • I will never buy a 300 dollars phone with a 720p screen...it is 2019, not 2010

  • Near field communication

  • I wish it was clear whether it is USB-C or Micro USB. I see conflicting information across different retailers and different national Oppo websites.

  • I agree that Realme 5 Pro does seem better. Unfortunately it is not available where I live so the A9 or the Vivo S1 are the best mid level choice here

  • type C cable and have Corning Gorilla Glass 3+ protecter on front

  • what is nfc?

  • Snapdragon 665 supports 20•/• less power consumption and 5000 mAh it's more than enough

  • Worst camera quality 720p display not worth

  • 5000 mah battery but No fast charging support.....Oppo is really joking.

  • Realme 5 pro is better than this..

  • Huge size phone. Huge internal memory. Lots of cameras. Huge size battery. But still dont have NFC? Sorry skip this until 2021

  • Hahaha...... 4k recording and a 720p screen with micro USB, please what is that

  • Nice phone

  • Sir Plz make a review of this phone especially its audio quality as soon as possible

  • It is understandable for the cheaper A5 to get 720p screen, but for the 300 euros A9 it is not acceptable !

  • Main selling points: The 8gb ram The big 5000mAh battery The decent 48mp camera But it just comes with a lot of weakpoints: The snapdragon 655... The 720p LCD screen... The two 2mp cameras...

  • A50s is a better choice, even if you have to settle for less memory. Or pay 60 dollars more for same memory

  • Very funny when i asked several Oppo sellers (green uniform)...All of them said the screen is 1080p... the look of their face when i show them the real specs...they would say anything to you to make a sale. Shame That said, the screen is not so bad...

  • USB 2.0 to charge the 5000mAh battery and two 2 MP cameras to make it a quad cam phone. Gimmick and mediocre. 20:9 remote control screen is here too. Fugk You

  • the oppo A9 2020 is using type C...not micro usb 2.0...

  • Very very overpriced

  • is it true that Huawei phone are not supported by Google

  • Without fast charge

  • Nova 5T is 90 euro more expansive & risk of losing Google Support, unlikely getting Android 10 update.

  • Oppo A9-2020 is not with micro usb. Its type C port.

  • This phone is good for people who just want big battery and decent cameras. Everything else is a disaster! Price is like 260 euros, just get a nova 5t for 340 euro, better soc, resolution, display, ppi, type-C 22.5w, better cameras, assured 8GB of RAM. WTH does this phone exist? OPPO?

  • worst phone. resolution 720x1600 pixels but ram 8 GB what a joke.

  • F11 128 GB has about the same specs, even cheaper now at 240 euros and has 1080 x 2340p screen...Or spend more and get A50s 128GB and Amoled screen...screen is what you are looking at when using the phone, it is most important...

  • Every thing is awosm in A9 but Disply only 720...seriously! 😒bad resoultion because if we compare the disply siza and PPI and Resolution also then quality of dislpy is very Bad and colours also

  • That means it won't tax the battery that much, that's why the resolution is like that. FHD eats the battery like it was potato chips.

  • All specs are super except the screen resolution..just HD(720p)...pure foolishness...can't believe.

  • Yeah, 8GB memory but only 720p screen is strange. I tested the phone, and the screen is a bit dark and washed out. But for only 300 dollars, it is probably better than the Samsung A50s 4GB/64GB at the exact same price...and A9 has stereo speakers.

  • oppo and vivo are going to follow SAMSUNG, that is overpriced with lower hardware specifications.

  • Since the F series is already discontinued, now only A or Reno series will be launched in the future, A9 2020 is the F11 sucessor at the range IDR 4 Million But the most dissapointment is Why 8GB ram and 128GB rom, 4K capable but only HD screen resolution? Are Oppo is going to be crazy than Samsung? We don't need 8GB Ram since this is not to be built as gaming phone with snapdragon 665, 4GB is enough (I use 3GB Ram phone and don't feel any lag) but Full HD is a must at the mid high price range, if you are using Sony Compact Series which is under 5 inch and only got HD screen is still acceptable, but for almost 7 inch and only HD screen is not acceptable for now especially at this quite high price, HD phone screen it means Youtube is only up to HD when play a video

  • F11 price is now 230 euros, and is better in every aspects, especially the screen.

  • The same marketing scheme that Phone companies recycle their old components and cover it with new housing and shell colors.

  • 6,5 inches and 720p...terrible, for an otherwise well specced phone.

  • Ok. I mean majority of phones, if not all, having 48 MP camera cant record 4k @ 60 fps. Most phones with 48 or 64 MP can only record 4k@ 30 fps.

  • The mi 9t pro/ redmi k20 pro can record 4k @ 60 fps. Tho maybe not as good as samsung.

  • Looking at the xiaomi redmi k20 pro specs on here, that can do 4k@30 and 60

  • No 48 MP smartphone can record 4k (2160p) video at 60fps except Samsung flagships having 12 MP camera which can record 4k video at 60 fps. All others can record 4k video at 'only' 30 fps and thats the difference between Samsung 12 MP camera vs other brands' 48 or even 64 MP camera.

  • This is Realme 5?

  • NOT again... what's with the NFC lack !??!?!

  • This has USB C not USB 2.0.

  • is CORNING® GORILLA® GLASS 3+ good ? cause it seems like this phone will be using it !

  • Ips720p/sdm665/microUsb

  • Totally agree

  • It has USB type C not micro USB

  • It's type-C in my place (Indonesia).

  • Actually A9 use usb type-c. This spac is wrong

  • 6.5" display, Stereo speakers, Dolby atmos, BT 5, 5000 mAhs battery,,,,but where is USB C. For goodness sake are Oppo & Vivo totally of their freaking mind!!

  • so bad very so bad,battery is good ,but... 720p /665/ 3d gpu sroce:30000 =USD3xx you can go to buy Snapdragon 855 phone

  • Please update for Oppo A5 (2020)

  • It uses USB type C not microusb

  • Why this new phone do not have the VOOC function?

  • Here are pros and cons about this phone: Pros: -Quad camera -48mp camera -great for gaming (if compared to MTK Helio P70 which is available on F11/F11 Pro) -6.5 inch display (bigger the better) -big battery (5k mah) -4K recording -8GB RAM is more than enough (some countries sell phones at 4GB RAM) Cons: -720p is considered outdated for mid end phones. A lot of phones goes full HD+ instead for mid end phones (including cheap phones already full HD+) -128GB storage still OK in 2019. But for those who take videos in 4K and take photos at high resolution, you need more storage via micro SD card -design looks like in 2018 for me

  • F11 is very similar with better screen for 260 euros only

  • 720p in a 6.5" screen......oppo shouldn't be calling it a 2020 phone

  • mix of realme 5 & 5pro,but worse than both of the phones.

  • It already type c

  • its rebranded Realme 5 realme 5 for india this for china A9(2020)....Realme 5 16 selfie....13 selfie 48 main.....12 main reminds me redmi note 7 first time released with 12mp main in india after a while they release global version for india with putting Redmi Note 7'S' on it

  • No vooc 3.0

  • 163.6mm tall and 20:9 No thanks.

  • It clearly says '2020' but still uses MicroUSB 2.0?

  • Nope, now replaced to USB-Type C. 🙂👌👍

  • ill still go with f11 a9 not yet flagship specs.. Plus look at the ppi only 200+ not so good..

  • It has about the same price tag as the f11, which is better?

  • 8ram 128rom for only 220eur? Thats imposible

  • Type c is better

  • It's gonna use type c btw

  • 720p ? realme better

  • year 2020 but still micro-usb?

  • HD resoultion !what a joke

  • 2020 type c?

  • Micro usb in 2020? really? and pricing is not met in reality. expect this phone is priced at 350 euros.
