As you can see from the information above – both phones are different from one another. We would have to say the main, obvious difference would be their cameras. The Realme XT has a flagship camera in its arsenal. It has a 64-megapixel main camera, 8-megapixel (ultrawide), 2-megapixel (macro) and 2-megapixel (depth sensor). It’s actually one of the first to make use of that 64-megapixel sensor.

That’s compared to the OPPO A9 2020’s 48-megapixel main shooter, 8-megapixel (ultrawide), 2-megapixel (macro) and 2-megapixel (depth sensor). On the selfie camera aspect, both phones are packing a 16-megapixel (f/2.0) front shooter.

Another difference is the phone display. The Realme XT has a Super AMOLED display along with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. It shall offer better colors and protection versus the OPPO A9’s LCD display. Unfortunately, the A9 2020 has no Corning Gorilla Glass protection – so there’s that.
