OPPO R11 has been in the news for the past few weeks, both officially and unofficially.
Now, the company has finally released its new smartphone, as well as its larger sibling,
OPPO R11 Plus.
This makes them the first Snapdragon 660 smartphone in the market.
It is really important, because many Chinese flagships are going to have this chipset
in coming months.
Design OPPO R11 doesn’t disappoint.
OPPO phones have always followed a similar design, as iPhone series.
The latest R11 and R11 Plus clearly continue the trend.
They look very similar to iPhone 7 Plus, even in terms of their dual camera placement.
I’m not a big fan of companies copying the design from Apple, but it has worked wonders
for OPPO in the past 12 months, and there was probably no good reason for the brand
to change this strategy.
If you can ignore the striking similarity to Apple iPhone 7 Plus, the metal built of
the phone looks quite good.
The antenna band design is unintrusive and the color options are definitely an added
plus.
There is the regular, gold, rose gold and black color options.
The bezels on the side look slim and there’s a fingerprint sensor, embedded into physical
home button, just below the display.
Unlike most Android manufacturers, OPPO strategy
about hardware has been less aggressive.
Instead of equipping its flagship models with top processors and memory, the company
has always focused on using upper mid-range specs.
That’s not a bad thing, as Snapdragon 660 is quite a capable chipset, placed just below
the top-end Snapdragon 835.
OPPO R11 and R11 Plus differ in terms of RAM and display sizes.
R11 comes with 5.5-inch 1080p display, 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage.
On the other hand, the OPPO R11 Plus features larger 6-inch display with 1080p resolution,
6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.
The batteries are also different: R11 coming with 3000mAh capacity battery, and R11 Plus
getting a large 4000mAh.
Both get VOOC fast charging support.
Also, there’s MicroSD card support for both the models, but it’s a hybrid one.
OPPO R11 and R11 Plus have the same camera
setup.
The rear setup consists of 16-magapixels f/1.7 aperture Sony IMX398 sensor
and second 20-megapixels f/2.6 Sony IMX350 sensor with telephoto lens.
You can take portrait, bokeh photos, and even 4K videos (either in wide-angle or telephoto)
from the rear setup.
It also comes with 2x optical zoom.
As for the front camera, OPPO has used 20-megapixels f/2.0 aperture sensor to take care of your
selfie photos.
The software is new Color OS 3.1, based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat.
Initially, OPPO had announced that it would unveil OPPO R11 and R11 Plus on June 10.
The company promise to reveal the prices tomorrow.
