DISPLAY AND DESIGN COMPARISON

As impressive as both smartphones, none of them comes with an Amoled panel. It’s quite disappointing though but again if they had come with an Amoled Touchscreen, the prices too would have gone higher. Maybe that’s why the tech companies decided to settle with the regular IPS LCD Touchscreen.

If you want a big screen for gaming and movie watching, then both OPPO A9 2020 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro can answer your call with their 6.5″ inches wide big screen. 

OPPO A9 2020 VS XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 8 PRO: HARDWARE COMPARISON

In every smartphones I lay my hands on, what impresses me the most is always the hardware. I don’t know why yet though, but maybe because it’s one of the most important part of smartphones that shouldn’t be ignored.

On this category OPPO A9 2020 offers a good deal. It comes with 8GB RAM + 128GB internal storage. While Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro on the other hand, comes with 6GB RAM + 64/128GB internal storage. Thus both smartphones are good for multitasking and OK for large file storage. Athough Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro has 8GB RAM variant, but that won’t be available in Nigeria.

However in terms of their Chipset, Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro (Mediatek Helio G90T) impressed me a lot more than the OPPO A9 2020 (Qualcomm Snapdragon 665). While it’s true that both phones are good for task performance, Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro is slightly ahead of the OPPO A9 2020. Mediatek Helio G90T is a powerful Chipset that deserves more recognition expecially for those game lovers.
