Design

OPPO is of the few smartphone vendors that prioritizes great product design. True to this mantra, the OPPO A9 2020 is quite a looker and has this awesome design profile that gives it a premier look and feel, something that can be quite elusive for mid-range smartphones.

The performance profile of the OPPO A9 2020 is one of the highlighted attributes of the smartphone. The A9 2020 packs a 2.0 GHz Octa-core CPU which is coupled with some 8GB RAM. The OPPO A9 2020 is one of the very few mid-range Android smartphones that packs 8GB RAM.

The set-up is quite good and the smartphone is able to run pretty much everything you throw at it. Everything from super-intensives apps to games.

The A9 2020 runs Android 9.0 Pie out of the box and could possibly be getting Android 10 sometime in 2020. I need to confirm this with OPPO though.

Storage-wise, the OPPO A9 2020 offers 128GB for your storage needs and a micro-SD card slot that can support up to 128GB of memory.
