OPPO updates its entry-level A-series in China with the A9. The new model closely resembles the notch-sporting F11 we have locally, with a few differences: on the A9, you get double the internal storage, a downgraded dual rear camera setup, and no VOOC charging.
Like the F11, you get OPPO’s new design language—dual rear cameras placed on the top center, with OPPO’s updated logo on the bottom center—with the A9.
