The post ColorOS 11 stable update released for OPPO A5 2020, A9 2020, A73 5G, A91, and Reno Z appeared first on Gizmochina.

After announcing the ColorOS 11 April update plan, OPPO has started recruiting beta testers for the listed phones. The latest devices to join the program as per the schedule are OPPO A5 2020 and OPPO A9 2020 respectively.

A few hours ago, we reported that OPPO had opened ColorOS 11 Beta registrations for the OPPO Reno Z and the OPPO A73 5G ahead of schedule. But that’s not the case with OPPO A5 2020 and OPPO A9 2020. The registrations for these two smartphones have begun right on time.

According to the official announcement posts on ColorOS Community, users should be on firmware version C.74/C.75 to enroll in the program. Also, the initiative is limited to India and Indonesia only.

In order to register, interested users need to navigate to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Apply for Beta Version > Update Beta Version and follow on-screen instructions. The ColorOS 11 Beta registrations for these handsets will remain open till April 21 for the first batch.

Both the OPPO A5 2020 and the OPPO A9 2020 launched with ColorOS 6.1 based on Android 9.0 Pie. The devices were updated to Android 10-based ColorOS 7.x last year.

Hence, ColorOS 11 (Android 11) should be the last major system update for these smartphones, as per OPPO’s update track record.

OPPO had launched the OPPO A9 2020 smartphone in the Indian market in September last year. Just a month after the launch, the device received a price cut of ₹1,000 which brought down the price from ₹16,990 to ₹15,990 (~$211).

Now, the device has received yet another price cut in the Indian market, and this time the price slash is of ₹3,000 for the base model. With this, the 4GB RAM variant of OPPO A9 2020 now starts at ₹12,990 (~$172).

The pricing of the other variant which packs 8GB RAM and 128GB storage remains the same. However, Amazon.in has listed the device at ₹18,490 (~$245) instead of ₹18,990, which is ₹500 less than the original price.

The OPPO A9 2020 comes in two color options — Marine Green and Space Purple. A couple of months after the launch, the Chinese company started offering a third color option in India — Gradient White. Later, the Vanilla Mint color option was introduced in India.

As for the specifications, the smartphone features 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’s a Blue Shield for filtering blue light and protecting 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 an f/2.0 aperture and AI beautification. The phone has electronic image stabilization and an Ultra Night Mode 2.0 that also works with ultrawide angle photos.

Since the Realme C3 is the only commercially-available phone with an Helio G70 processor, it is no surprise that it is the device MediaTek has chosen for its test. The Snapdragon 665 phone used for comparison is the OPPO A9 2020. The comparison covers areas such as Benchmark Scores, App Launch Time, and Game Launch Time.

The first test has both phones running AnTuTu and the result shows the Helio G70 wins the round with 193,790 points as against the Snapdragon 665’s 166,126 points. It is important to state that both phones are not running the same version of AnTuTu. Actually, the Realme C3 is running a more recent version of the benchmark app. There is also a Geekbench test, a 3DMark test, and a GFXBench test. And the Helio G70 comes out on top in all scenarios.

For App Launch Time, the time to launch apps such as YouTube and Flipkart are compared. While the Realme C3 was faster in loading YouTube, both devices tied with respect to Flipkart.

The last stage of the test compares launch time for games such as PUBG, Asphalt 9, and Call of Duty. The image below shows the result of the tests.

While the Helio G70 does win all three rounds, the Snapdragon 665 is definitely not lagging behind. Nevertheless, MediaTek does deserve to be praised as its latest chipsets have tremendously improved and even beat the competition.

The Helio G70 is a 12nm chipset with 4x Cortex-A75 cores clocked at 2GHz and 4x Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.7GHz. It has a Mali-G52 GPU clocked at 820MHz. The Snapdragon 665 is an 11nm processor with 8x Kryo 260 cores (semi-custom Cortex-A73 cores + semi-custom Cortex-A53 cores) clocked at 2.0GHz. It has an Adreno 610 GPU.

Motorola decided not to wait for Mobile World Congress to launch its new affordable smartphones: Moto G8 Power and G Stylus. The former is a very interesting battery phone and it even debuted in the global market with an interesting price tag. But it has a lot of rivals: two of the most awesome in terms of value for money are Oppo A9 2020 and Realme XT.

Is the Moto G8 Power the best choice for people seeking a large battery phone with high performance or there is something better with a similar budget? This specs comparison between Moto G8 Power, Oppo A9 2020 and Realme XT will help you find out.

Motorola Moto G8 Power vs Oppo A9 2020 vs Oppo Realme XT

Design

Moto G8 Power offers a more attractive design and even a better build quality, but personal tastes play an important role in this kind of choice. Moto G8 Power has a plastic back, but it is the only model to sport a sturdy aluminum frame (6000 series). Further, it is splash resistant and it has a futuristic punch-hole display instead of the usual and boring waterdrop notch. Realme XT comes with a glass back, but it has a plastic frame and it is not splash resistant. Oppo A9 2020 is entirely made of plastic except for the display. Motorola Moto G8 Power looks the most interesting one due to its aluminum frame and punch-hole display.

Display

The best panel is offered by the Realme XT: it is the only with an AMOLED display boasting more vivid colors and deeper blacks. And it delivers a Full HD+ resolution. The Realme XT even sports an in-display fingerprint reader which is not present on Moto G8 Power and Oppo A9 2020. Moto G8 Power takes the silver medal with a Full HD+ IPS panel. Oppo A9 2020 has a wider display, but it is inferior since it has a lower resolution and a lower level of detail (it is a 720p IPS panel). But this impacts positively on energy consumption.

Specs & Software

Realme XT provides the highest performance thanks to the Snapdragon 712 chipset which is an upgraded version of the Snapdragon 710 by Qualcomm. It is also the only with up to 8 GB of RAM, and it features UFS 2.1 internal storage. Oppo A9 2020 comes right after with Snapdragon 665 and up to 128 GB of UFS 2.1 storage. Moto G8 Power has an inferior hardware department, but it is the only to run Android 10 out of the box. On the other hand, Realme XT already received an update to Android 10 in the Indian market.

Camera

Besides having a better hardware side, Realme XT is also the device with the best camera department, although it is not a high-end camera phone. It has a rear quad-camera including a 64 MP main sensor able to shoot very detailed photos. But you should not underestimate the Moto G8 Power as it still comes with a pretty good 16 MP f/1.7 sensor and, unlike the Realme XT, it includes a telephoto lens supporting 2x optical zoom.

Battery

Moto G8 Power and Oppo A9 2020 come with a huge 5000 mAh battery. We believe Oppo A9 2020 will last more on a single charge due to its more efficient display (which comes with a lower resolution). Further, it supports reverse charging and it can be used as a power bank.

Price

Motorola launched the Moto G8 Power with a €249,99/$274 starting price, Oppo A9 2020 starts from €249/$272 and Realme XT starts from €259/$284. Moto G8 Power is a better device when it comes to the build quality, Oppo A9 2020 provides a longer battery life, but Realme XT is what power users would go for due to its AMOLED display and better hardware. There is not a perfect choice for everyone, it mostly depends on what you need more from a phone. That is why we will not pick a definitive winner of this comparison.

Currently, the smartphone is available in three colors — Marine Green, Space Purple, and colors. Now, Oppo A9 2020 has got a new color variant in the Indian market — Gradient White. It is now available for purchase through offline stores in the country.

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.

One of the smartest things to do when looking for affordable smartphones is considering devices with long battery life. Since battery life is one of the biggest problems on modern smartphones, the efficient components often present on affordable devices paired with a big battery can ensure a very long battery life so that you can even forget your charger at home for at least two days. In this article, we compared three of the most amazing battery phones available in the midrange segment, from three different brands. We are talking about the Oppo A9 2020, the Realme 5 by Oppo’s sub-brand and the Samsung Galaxy M30s. All of them come with huge batteries, especially if we consider its specifications, and they can guarantee two days of battery life. But which one lasts more and which has the highest value for money? Here we will try to answer these questions.

Oppo A9 2020 vs Realme 5 vs Samsung Galaxy M30s

Design

Do not expect a great design from these handsets. All of them are made with a cheap plastic body, despite it may seem the opposite in some pictures like the one above. The look I prefer the most is the one of the Realme 5 since it comes with a reflective back in gradient colors and with a prismatic effect. Realme 5 also guarantees splash resistance. But you should keep note that Samsung Galaxy M30s is the most compact device, despite it mounts a bigger battery, due to its smaller display and a very high screen-to-body ratio.

Display

The display of the Samsung Galaxy M30s is the most amazing one and it is even one of the best in the market if we consider the price range. It is the only phone of this trio to sport a Super AMOLED panel with a Full HD+ resolution, so it provides a higher level of detail, deeper and more brilliant colors. Unfortunately, the display is slightly smaller than the ones found on Oppo A9 2020 and Realme 5, but we recommend it since both Oppo A9 2020 and Realme 5 are equipped with below-average HD+ displays. In each case, the fingerprint scanner is placed on the back.

Specs & Software

The Exynos 9611 chipset mounted on the Samsung Galaxy M30s is generally better than the Snapdragon 665 since it offers high performance and more efficiency, thanks to the 10 nm production process. But it is not a huge difference. That is why I prefer the Oppo A9 2020: despite it is fueled by the Snapdragon 665, it is the only to sport up to 8 GB of RAM and UFS 2.1 internal storage making it faster in a lot of tasks. Android 9 Pie is installed out of the box on all the phones. Each of these devices features a micro SD dedicated slot to expand the internal storage without renouncing to the dual SIM slot.

Camera

The most advanced camera department on the paper belongs to the Oppo A9 2020. It has a quad camera including a 48 MP main sensor, an ultrawide lens, and a depth sensor, as well as a nice 16 MP front camera. It has a brighter focal aperture than Samsung Galaxy M30s and one more sensor, and it is even able to record 4K videos. Realme 5 is the worst one due to its 12 MP main sensor, but it has a useful dedicated macro camera for close shots.

Battery

All of these devices are battery phones and they can ensure two days of battery life even with pretty intensive usage. But still, there is a big difference between Samsung Galaxy M30s and its two rivals. The Galaxy M30s has a much bigger 6000 mAh battery and even a very efficient AMOLED display, so it lasts more on a single charge. It even supports the fastest charging technology, even though this does not mean it will charge faster since it has a bigger battery. On the other hand, the Oppo A9 2020 features reverse charging and it is the only which can be used as a power bank to charge other devices.

Price

Oppo A9 2020 is sold with a €249/$275 price on the global market, while Samsung Galaxy M30s starts from €259/$285. Realme 5 is not available globally and it costs €185/$204 in its base variant, in the Asian market. But if you are a global user you should not worry too much, since Realme 5 loses this comparison (despite it would probably have a more affordable price). Oppo A9 2020 is the best if you are searching for the best cameras and reverse charging, but if you want the longest battery life and a better display, then Samsung Galaxy M30s is a more correct option for your needs.
