OPPO A9 2020 128 GB / 4 GB (CPH1941)
 | Outdated Product $595.00 A strong middle class in the vision of Oppo is a well-dressed and well-charged mid-low-cost smartphone. Here you have an eight-core Snapdragon 665 chipset, and 4 or 8 GB of RAM (the average is not given), and 128 GB of space in the built-in storage. Only the screen resolution let us down on the smartphone — 1600x720 pixels on a 6.53-inch diagonal. The photo component of the mobile gadget is headed by a 48 MP sensor from the rear, in the company of which there are 8 MP ultra-wide and a pair of 2 + 2 MP auxiliary sensors. There is a 16 MP camera for selfies. That's not all. From above, the OPPO A9 2020 was “seasoned” with stereo sound with support for Dolby Atmos surround sound and a capacious 5000 mAh battery with reverse charging of devices from the outside. A set of additional "goodie...s" that increase interest in the model is represented by the night photography mode Ultra Night Mode 2.0, a special option Cinematic Video Style for recording video sequences of "cinematic quality", game mode Game Boost 2.0. |

Slim, stylish, durable
In 2019, thin, stylish and modern smartphones with increased capacity batteries of 4500 and 5000 mAh suddenly began to appear on the market. And it's cool. It’s not cool that there were not so many of them, and in almost every case, for the sake of increased battery life, compromises had to be made. In the case of the new OPPO A9 2020, the compromise is as follows: for a smartphone with the characteristics of a $200 model, you will have to pay all $300.
Power at the middle level
Judge for yourself, the heart of the device is an average eight-core Snapdragon 665 processor, working with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. In general, this power is enough for the standard use of a smartphone, surfing the net and running games. The only problem is that its competitors are new Huawei and Xiaomi, which offer more powerful processors and more RAM for the same money. Yes, and the screens there are often cooler Super AMOLEDs, while the OPPO A9 2020 has a regular IPS with a diagonal of 6.53 and a resolution of 1600x720.
5000 mAh battery
But the 5000 mAh battery smooths out all the sharp corners. In fact, it keeps about two to three days, depending on the intensity of using the smartphone. An interesting feature is the ability to turn OPPO A9 2020 into a mobile Power Bank using an OTG cable. The smartphone supports reverse charging and can charge any other devices like smartphones, smartwatches, etc.
Compromises
In terms of additional useful things, we have NFC, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules of the fifth generation, a pretty cool quad camera and full-fledged stereo speakers. Usually in the class up to $ 200 polls are ordinary mono. But instead of a USB-C port, the OPPO A9 for some reason installed an outdated microUSB, which now flickers mainly in low-cost smartphones. In general, this is a fairly high-quality device, which would have a price tag of $ 200 – 220. Then we would take it without hesitation. Well, right now you have to decide whether it is worth sacrificing processor power and screen resolution to the battery.
