Oppo F9: Price in Pakistan, Full Specifications & Used Buying Guide

Oppo F9 Overview

The Oppo F9 launched in August 2018 as the successor to the F7, and it fixed the F7's biggest weakness: charging. The F9 introduced VOOC flash charging to the F series, added a dual rear camera, switched to a smaller "waterdrop" notch, and debuted gradient colour finishes. It kept the 25MP AI selfie camera and Helio P60 chip that made the F7 popular. Discontinued for years, the F9 now trades only as a used phone in Pakistan, where it remains one of the more desirable old Oppo models — fast charging makes a genuine daily difference on an ageing device. This guide covers the verified specifications and what to check before buying a used F9.

Design and Display

The F9 has a 6.3-inch LTPS IPS LCD with 1080 x 2340 resolution, a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, and about 409 ppi, with a small waterdrop notch holding the front camera and a claimed 90.8% screen-to-body ratio. Corning Gorilla Glass 6 protects the front. The back is where the F9 stands out: gradient finishes in Sunrise Red, Twilight Blue, and Starry Purple with a diamond-like pattern that shifts in the light — the first gradient design in the F series, extended onto the side frame. It measures 156.7 x 74 x 7.9 mm and weighs 169 grams, with a rear fingerprint sensor and a vertical dual-camera module. A 3.5mm jack and microUSB port sit on the bottom.

Performance and Chipset

The MediaTek Helio P60 (MT6771) returns — the same 12nm octa-core chip as the F7 series, with Mali-G72 MP3 graphics and an AI unit. The F9 shipped in 4GB RAM / 64GB storage in most markets (a 6GB variant existed in some regions), with a dedicated microSD slot up to 256GB. Performance is familiar F7 territory: smooth for everyday apps, social media, and video, fine for light games, strained by heavy 3D titles. The 4GB RAM is the practical ceiling for multitasking in 2026. Buyers choosing between a used F9 and F9 Pro should note the RAM difference — 6GB on the Pro — since both share the same chip.

Cameras

The rear camera goes dual for the first time in the F series: a 16MP main sensor (f/1.85) plus a 2MP depth sensor (f/2.4) enabling portrait-mode bokeh, with LED flash and 1080p@30fps video. Daylight photos are good for the class with pleasant colours, and portrait shots with background blur are a genuine upgrade over the F7. The front camera is the familiar 25MP (Sony IMX576, f/2.0) with AI Beauty and sensor HDR — still the phone's strongest feature for selfie lovers. Low-light shooting remains the weakness: no night mode, no stabilisation, and the small sensors show noise after dark. For a used phone at this level, the camera package is well-rounded but firmly 2018-grade.

Battery and Charging

The 3,500mAh battery (3,415mAh minimum rated) is the F9's killer feature — not its size, but its VOOC flash charging. Oppo's 20W VOOC system (5V/4A over microUSB with a special charger and cable) claims 2 hours of talk time from a 5-minute charge, and a full charge takes around 75–80 minutes — dramatically faster than the F7's 2+ hours. This matters enormously on a used phone: even a degraded battery becomes livable when top-ups are this quick. The catch: VOOC only works with an original Oppo VOOC charger and cable. When buying used, insist on testing with the VOOC charger included in the deal — a generic charger will charge the F9 at slow standard speeds, wiping out its main advantage.

Software and Updates

Android 8.1 Oreo with ColorOS 5.2, and no upgrades beyond it — the same software ceiling as the F7. Android 8.1 is end-of-life without security patches, though most apps including banking apps still support it today. The risk grows yearly, so install and log in to every essential app on the handset before paying. ColorOS 5.2 is a heavy, dated skin but functional, with gesture navigation and app cloning. Treat the F9 as a phone with a finite app-compatibility runway, not a long-term investment.

Connectivity and Extras

Dual nano-SIM with dual 4G VoLTE works on Pakistani networks, plus dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS (with GLONASS and BeiDou), FM radio, USB OTG, rear fingerprint sensor, and face unlock. No NFC. The microUSB port is a reminder of its era — even with VOOC, the connector is the old standard. Used buyers should test both SIM slots, the fingerprint sensor, and VOOC charging with the original charger before committing.

Oppo F9 Full Specifications

• Dual rear camera with portrait bokeh, an F-series first
• 6.3-inch FHD+ waterdrop display with Gorilla Glass 6
• Striking gradient design; dedicated microSD slot

Cons

• Android 8.1 end-of-life — app compatibility will keep shrinking
• VOOC needs the original charger and cable; generic chargers charge slowly

• Heavier 169g body; no NFC

Who Should Buy the Oppo F9?

The used F9 is the sweet spot of the old F series for buyers who want the best balance of selfie camera, design, and charging convenience at a low used price. It suits students, social-media users, and anyone who values fast top-ups during the day. It is not for gamers, long-term primary-phone buyers, or anyone who cannot secure the original VOOC charger — without it, the F9 loses its defining advantage. If you need more RAM for multitasking, the F9 Pro (6GB) is the step up.

Oppo F9 vs Oppo F9 Pro

The F9 and F9 Pro are nearly the same phone: identical 6.3-inch waterdrop display, Helio P60 chip, 16MP+2MP rear and 25MP front cameras, 3,500mAh battery with VOOC, and Android 8.1. The differences are memory and branding: the Pro shipped with 6GB RAM / 64GB storage (a 128GB variant was also listed), while the standard F9 mostly came with 4GB / 64GB. The "Pro" name was used mainly for the Indian market — in several other markets the same 6GB hardware sold simply as the F9. On the used market, check the actual RAM in Settings rather than trusting the name on the back: a 6GB "F9" and an "F9 Pro" are the same thing, and the 6GB variant is worth a small premium for smoother multitasking.

Buying a Used Oppo F9 in Pakistan: Checklist

The VOOC charger is the deal — verify the box includes an original Oppo VOOC adapter and cable, then watch the phone actually fast-charge (the lock screen shows VOOC charging). A generic charger means slow charging and should lower the price. Confirm the RAM variant in Settings (4GB vs 6GB). Check PTA status by IMEI; test battery backup, both cameras including portrait mode, the fingerprint sensor, speakers, and both SIM slots. Install your banking and payment apps and log in before paying. Get a written receipt with the IMEI and confirm the 7-day check warranty on used phones.

Oppo F9 Price in Pakistan

The F9 is discontinued with no official new price in Pakistan. Used prices vary with condition, RAM variant, battery health, PTA status, and — critically — whether the original VOOC charger is included. Our catalog figure from the October 2026 import is stale and is not a current market price. For the latest price of the unit in stock, contact Zohaan Mobile Gallery on WhatsApp at +92 305 8452080 or visit the Rahim Yar Khan store. A used F9 without its VOOC charger should cost clearly less than one with it.

The 16MP + 2MP dual setup takes good daylight photos with portrait bokeh, but low-light shots are noisy with no night mode or stabilisation.
