Alongside the Oppo F9 Pro last month, Oppo also announced the Oppo F9 in India. However, the company did not reveal the pricing of the smaller variant. Today, Oppo confirmed that the Oppo F9 would be available for purchase in India from September 15, 2018, at a price of Rs 19,990. To recall, the Oppo F9 Pro has been unveiled at Rs 23,990 and it’s already available for purchase in the country. The Oppo F9 differs from the F9 Pro in three ways- downgraded selfie camera, no fast charging and comes with 4GB of RAM, as opposed to the Oppo F9 Pro which has a 25MP selfie camera and 6GB of RAM. Also, the Oppo F9 is the cheapest smartphone to feature a waterdrop notch as both the Oppo F9 Pro and Vivo V11 Pro are priced considerably higher than F9.

Oppo F9 Specifications and Features
As mentioned above, the spec sheet of the Oppo F9 is quite identical to that of its sibling Oppo F9 Pro. The F9 also rocks a 6.3-inch Full HD+ display on the front carrying a resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels and 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, it has the same MediaTek Helio P60 chipset, coupled with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. For the uninitiated, MediaTek Helio P60 is the same chipset we have seen on smartphones such as the Oppo F7 and Realme 1 in the past. It’s an octa-core processor with all the cores clocked at 2.0GHz.
