The Oppo K9s features a 6.59-inch IPS LCD display with a hole punched on the top-left corner to carry the 16MP camera for taking selfies or video calls. The display gets a 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate, 1080+ resolution, and Panda Glass protection. There is no HDR support and the peak brightness is at 600 nits.

The Oppo K9s gets triple cameras on the back, where the primary sensor is 64MP with an f/1.7 lens. The camera can record 4K video at 30fps (with electronic stabilization). Next up is an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2MP macro lens.
The Oppo K9s packs a 5000mAh battery and supports 30W VOOC flash charging that takes 59 minutes to charge the phone to 100%. The phone has a 3.5mm headphone jack and the charging is done over a USB-C 2.0 port. Wireless connectivity options include 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 (with aptX HD, LDAC, and LHDC codecs).
