These offer all-around use that can satisfy users’ needs for all shooting angles and scenarios, including the Ultra-Night Mode 2.0 and a whole host of artistic portrait styles.

The 48MP primary lens improves image clarity with higher resolution, helping capture more detail and take clearer pictures.  The 8MP 119° ultra-wide-angle lens brings more diversity in terms of picture composition and expression, making it easier to capture a larger shot in a smaller space.

The Mono lens and Portrait Lens allows users to add retro, grainy and atmospheric filters to portrait shots, creating more personalized images for users, offering new styles unique to what other smartphone brands are currently offering.

Ultra-Night Mode 2.0 ensures efficient noise reduction, while HDR and Multi-Frame Technology provide users with night scene pictures that exceed the brightness and detail that the human eye can perceive. Because people are processed separately from their environment, faces appear bright and detailed, while background light flare is greatly diminished.

In summary, images stay bright and clear whether capturing bright city lights or dim country nights. Ultra-Night Mode 2.0 even works while taking Ultra-Wide angle photos.

The A9 2020 is equipped with 16MP selfie camera while A5 2020 with 8MP selfie camera, both using AI Beautification technology for tailor-made selfies to better cater to different markets and beauty trends.

OPPO’s latest stabilization technology also meets consumers’ growing demand for high-quality action videos, with a built-in gyroscope on these two handsets. This creates more stable shooting while running, walking, cycling and more, along with improved video filters that allow users to create their own movies with the press of a button, ideal for creating eye-catching content in the era of short video apps.

A Sunlight Screen improves screen readability under strong direct light and ensures true colors shine through in dim or dark environments, while a blue light filter relieves eye fatigue and better protects users’ eyesight in low light.

The OPPO A9 2020 also features 3D gradient designs for a more vibrant, eye-catching look, with each handset made from four curved 3D sheets, which look thinner and fits comfortably into the hand. These feature Nano-scale patterns that create multi-toned, radiant coloring from different angles and under different lighting

Especially for the gaming experience, Game Boost 2.0 accelerator technology offers improved Frame Boost and Touch Boost, which both provide lightning-fast game play response, by reducing touch screen latency and lag, delivering an overall better user experience.

Frame Boost provides real-time monitoring of the phone’s operations to resolve latency and game lag, while also allocating resources to avoid the phone overheating or using too much power.
