The 4GB RAM variant is priced at ₹15,990 (~$224) while the 8GB RAM model costs ₹19,990 (~$280). Interestingly, this new variant is now yet available for purchase through online retail stores in the Indian market.

The smartphone comes with a 6.5-inch waterdrop Sunlight Screen which offers a screen resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels and has a screen-to-body ratio of 89 percent. There is also a Blue Shield that filters harmful blue light and protects users from eye fatigue.

Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset and packs 4GB or 8GB RAM and both the variants pack 128GB UFS 2.1 internal storage. It also comes with a dedicated microSD card slot for expanding the storage capacity up to 256GB.

In the camera department, it comes with a quad-camera setup on the back which consists of a 48-megapixel f/1.8 primary camera, an 8-megapixel f/2.25 aperture with 119-degree ultrawide angle camera, and two 2-megapixel cameras with f/2.4 aperture.

On the front side, it features a 16-megapixel camera with f/2.0 aperture with AI beautification. The phone has electronic image stabilization and an Ultra Night Mode 2.0 that also works with ultrawide angle photos.

Features on the Oppo A9 2020 include stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos. The smartphone runs Android 9 Pie-based ColorOS 6.0.1 with features such as Game Boost 2.0 for smoother and more responsive gaming, HyperBoost, Game Space, Game Assistant, and a Riding Mode that mutes all notifications, declines calls and automatically texts back callers.

The device also comes with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. The smartphone is powered by a 5,000mAh battery which also supports reverse charging. The company has not mentioned fast charging support, which is a bit disappointing.
