The Honor 8X is going global very soon! While we wait for the upcoming midranger to reach the international market, let’s compare it against one of its rivals — the OPPO F9.

In this head-to-head comparison, we’re going to take a look at the specs, camera performance, and battery life of the two smartphones.

Specs

	Honor 8X	OPPO F9
Display	6.5-inch IPS LCD (1080 x 2340 pixels), 19.5:9 ratio	6.3-inch IPS LCD (1080 x 2340 pixels), 19.5:9 ratio
Processor	HiSilicon Kirin 710	MediaTek Helio P60
Graphics	Mali-G51 MP4	Mali-G72 MP3
Memory	4GB	6GB

Rear camera	20MP f/1.8 + 2MP	16MP f/1.8 + 2MP
Front camera	16MP f/2.0	25MP f/2.0
Battery	3750mAh (non-removable)	3500mAh (non-removable)
Other features	Rear fingerprint scanner, Face unlock	Rear fingerprint scanner, Face unlock
OS	Android 8.1 Oreo w/ EMUI 8.2	Android 8.1 Oreo w/ ColorOS 5.2

The two phones sport pretty big and tall displays, but the Honor 8X has the larger of the two. Watching videos and playing games will feel more immersive on the Honor 8X’s 6.5-inch display versus on the OPPO F9’s 6.3-inch panel. Although, the notch on the OPPO F9 is less obtrusive and has a better appeal, at least for us.

Both phones are powered by an octa-core processor. The Honor 8X has the new Kirin 710 processor from HiSilicon, while the OPPO F9 is using MediaTek’s popular Helio P60 processor. Both are midrange-class processors and manufactured using the 12nm process, which makes them more efficient and closer to flagship performance. The Honor 8X has an edge with its software-based GPU Turbo on select games.

As for storage, both have 64GB of expandable storage, but the Honor 8X can go up to 128GB. When it comes to memory, the Honor 8X has a standard 4GB memory, while the OPPO F9 already has 6GB of memory. Having more memory is suited for multitasking, but both phones will be able to run smoothly even with multiple apps running in the background.

Like with other Android phones, the Honor 8X and OPPO F9 have their fingerprint reader on the back. This is pretty standard among smartphones today and both can read accurately and quickly.

When it comes to software, both run Android Oreo out of the box but each one has its own skin on top. The Honor 8X has EMUI 8.2, while OPPO has ColorOS 5.2.

Camera

You can find dual rear cameras and crisp selfie shooters on both the Honor 8X and the OPPO F9. Not only that, they’re AI-enabled everytime you take a shot, so it knows what to do to help you take a better photo.

As a recap, the Honor 8X has a 20-megapixel main shooter paired with a 2-megapixel sensor for bokeh effect. The OPPO F9, on the other hand, has a 16-megapixel f/1.8 main camera plus a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The front-facing camera of the Honor 8X is a 16-megapixel sensor, while the OPPO F9 has an impressive 25-megapixel shooter.

Battery

The Honor 8X has a bigger battery than the OPPO F9’s: 3750mAh versus 3500mAh. The additional 250mAh of the Honor 8X could help the phone last longer, but maybe not that much.

Using a standard 1080p video loop test on both phones, we were able to get 16 hours and 40 minutes on the Honor 8X and 18 hours and 10 minutes on the OPPO F9.

And that’s it! So, which of the two phones is your GadgetMatch?

OPPO A6s 5G: Practical longevity, reliable essential

Sound return on investment for smart spenders

Published

May 18, 2026

GadgetMatch and Manila Connoisseur

Finding a smartphone that balances performance, longevity, and price is crucial for smart spenders. Practicality matters, especially in an era where prices all seem to have risen.

Designed for long-term value, the OPPO A6s 5G enters the scene as that reliable handset that you can expect to work for years to come — a daily driver that balances giving your needs with sensible spending.

Reliability that lasts: 60-Month Fluency

A smartphone shouldn’t just feel new the day you unbox it. The OPPO A6s 5G is headlined by 60-Month Fluency Protection.

OPPO optimizes software and hardware to ensure lag associated with aging phones won’t keep up with the A6s 5G.

This is an assurance that the device will have maintained steady performance for up to five years – for everyday scrolling, gaming, and multitasking.

Complementing this is a capable MediaTek 6300 processor, plus ample memory and storage.

Users also benefit from OPPO’s features like AI LinkBoost 3.0 for network optimization and GameBoost 2.0 for smooth gaming.

All these truly make the OPPO A6s 5G a smart return on investment for practical users.

Unrivaled endurance: 7000mAh Large Battery

When it comes to staying connected, the A6s 5G sets a high bar with a massive 7000mAh battery.

This handset doesn’t just last a full day to cover essential usage; it can power through an entire weekend without ever reaching for a cable.

From commutes to documenting a busy day, to staying online 24/7, the OPPO A6s 5G endures.

When you finally run low on power, 80W SUPERVOOC Flash Charge ensures you spend more time on the move and less near a power source. It’s an impressive fast-charging speed for its class.

Rugged durability: IP69 resistance

As with previous OPPO A series releases, the physical build of the OPPO A6s 5G is designed to survive the unpredictable nature of daily life.

It has IP69 water and dust resistance to withstand sudden downpours, accidental spills, high-pressure water jets and even high-temperature environments.

Beyond software longevity, this signature ruggedness OPPO’s budget devices are known for offers the ultimate peace of mind for users.

Smart imaging for every moment

Imaging remains a core strength of the OPPO A6s 5G, which has an AI-powered camera system.

It has a 50MP main camera, designed for the “everyday photographer” – and everyday keepsakes.

The smart features work behind the scenes to optimize skin tones, balance exposure, and enhance details in various lighting conditions.

Every shot is social media-ready, with ample clarity and detail, without having to fiddle with complex settings.

OPPO A6s 5G offers

The OPPO A6s 5G is currently available nationwide in Ice White and Cappuccino Brown variants through OPPO Stores and the OPPO Online Store, starting at PHP 21,999.

As part of the launch offers, customers can get these exclusive perks when they order online from May 1 to May 21:
