Both smartphones arrive with the same 6.3-inch full HD LCD display, having the same resolution of 2340 x 1080. They are also both powered by MediaTek Helio P60 SoC.

Oppo F9 and Oppo F9 Pro Pricing/Availability

The price of Oppo F9 Pro (Rs 23,990) should stand about $345, while the price of Oppo F9 (Rs 19,990) will hover around $290 or less. We believe that both devices will be available both offline and online after August 31, 2018.

Conclusion

It appears nothing pretty much differentiates Oppo F9 from Oppo F9 Pro. The major difference is the water drop notch which manufacturer says will somehow increase the screen view of users.

There may also be some slight differences in design but these will not be so blatant. Oppo F9 Pro screen shines brilliantly and slightly changes color when light beams on it.

No wonder, teasers have intimated the public that Oppo F9 Pro has a glassy finish design. It is also a smartphone reputed to be dust and water resistant. These attributes also appear to be in Oppo F9. What makes the Oppo F9 special then? Probably the teardrop notch on the screen.
