Oppo A9 launches with MediaTek Helio P70

The new Oppo A9 - uses the high-performance MediaTek Helio P70 inside its large 6.53-inch frame. The tiny waterdrop notch at the top of its FullHD+ display keeps the screen-to-body ratio over 90%, yet still manages to squeeze a big 16MP selfie-snapper.

At the back, a 16MP camera is supported by a 2MP depth sensor, and all three cameras are backed by the P70's unique triple-ISP design and hardware accelerators such as a high-resolution depth engine, faster shot-to-JPEG processing, a dozen native-HDR photography enhancements, EIS, RSC and Instant AE.

The P70 SoC contains an octa-core mix of performance Arm Cortex-A73 cores and power efficient Cortex-A53 paired to a fast Arm G72-powered graphics core, plus 525MHz multi-core, multi-threading AI processing unit (APU) that alone pumps out 210GMACs. Oppo pairs this to an ample 6GB of memory and a generous 128GB of storage, plus large 4,020mAh battery.
