Just days after the launch of its Reno 2 premium mid-range lineup in India, Oppo is back with two new budget smartphones under the Rs 20,000 price bracket. Oppo A9 2020 and A5 2020 are the latest offerings from the Chinese giant. If you ignore the weird ahead-of-its-time naming scheme, these devices offer a cool gradient design, modern waterdrop notch display, quad-cameras, and a massive battery.
Much like any other Oppo smartphone launched in recent months, Oppo A9 2020 is offering you a premium gradient design. I quite like the Marine Green color variant that’s shown below and I know, it looks pretty similar to the Redmi Note 8 Pro. The quad-cameras are aligned at the center, with a physical fingerprint sensor below it.
In the camera department, Oppo has also given into the quad-camera hype and offers the users a 48MP (f/1.8) primary sensor (with EIS support). An 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens with a 119-degree field-of-view, a 2MP depth sensor, and 2MP macro lens with 4 cm focal length accompanies the main sensor. This is a quad-camera module similar to what we have seen on the Realme 5 already. There’s also a 16MP(f/2.0) selfie sensor fitted into the waterdrop notch on the front.
Coming to its younger sibling, there is not a ton of difference between the Oppo A9 2020 and A5 2020 when you talk about it from a design and specifications point-of-view. It has the same waterdrop notch display, same chipset, and same 5,000mAh battery size. The only thing different here are the cameras – both on the front and back.
