OPPO has made the A9 official in China, and it’s shaping up to be a watered-down variant of the F11.
The A9’s critical differences from the F11 include the downgraded rear camera. It follows the most recent design language for the OPPO F-series of phones and is available in three color variants. If OPPO would still pursue its earlier F-series naming scheme, this could easily pass as an OPPO F11 Youth.
