Oppo has launched a new smartphone in Vietnam, the Oppo F9. The smartphone shows off a new type of notch which is inspired by the Essential Phone as it carries only the camera. The other highlights of the smartphone include the VOOC charging support and the gradient colour option which have become popular since the launch of the Huawei P20 Pro. The smartphone will be available in the country starting August 24 with a price tag of VND 7,690,000 (roughly Rs. 23,200).

Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 is a much cheaper option than the Oppo F9. However, it brings in plenty of power to compete against the F9 directly. The only thing you will be loosing here is the beautiful design and the gradient colour options. What you get in trade is a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset coupled with stock Android 8.1 Oreo on board. The whole package comes in at a starting price of Rs. 10,999 while the top-end variant costs Rs. 14,999.
