REVIEW
Design
Feel
so sturdy and well built, the overall chassis looks so rigid that it is
hard to distinguish it from the most premium flagship phones. Uses an
aluminum mid-frame while the back panel is plastic that has been
textured to give it the effect of a beautiful rich gradient finish.
The
design takes precedent not only on the back but also at the front, the
Oppo F11 Pro has a stunning all screen, immersive design that does not
have a notch or hole punch cut out at the front. The Oppo F11 Pro's pop
up camera liberates space at the top of the display for a sleek, modern
look. Anyway, sadly, it has slightly on the heavy side.
Display
Very
good 6.5 inch LCD screen with full HD resolution, it is crisp and has
good viewing angles. You also get the option to tweak the colour output
of the display as per your liking.
Software
ColorOS
6 is certainly better than before, and Oppo has taken an approach that
is like what Samsung did with its One UI recently. The whole user
interface has been tweaked to resonate with Google’s Material Design
with large white surfaces around every nook and corner. Other useful
features include a gesture based UI, a new app drawer, and a specialized
Game Space mode. But, Overall though, it's still not quite as clean as a
stock Android UI, or quite as refined as the MIUI.
Performance
Good
overall performance with a solid Helio P70 at the core (similar to
Snapdragon 660/675), everything runs smoothly including complex graphics
games like PUBG.
Camera
Good
set of dual rear cameras at the back. There is a 48 megapixel main
camera paired with a 5 megapixel depth sensor. In daylight, Oppo F11 Pro
takes images that are quite natural with even dynamic range and
saturated colors.
In
the night, where you use Night Mode, the result is extremely bright
(though not very accurate). The portrait mode puts the secondary sensor
to use to distinguish between subjects and backgrounds, and adds a good
bokeh effect.
Video
recording is good too, and image stabilisation is available which helps
deliver video without a lot of shakiness. Of course, the hero here is
the unique pop up selfie camera experience. The image quality from the
front camera is good too, and it includes a powerful beauty mode.
But,
of course, adding a mechanical component adds the risk of early product
failure - it is a moving mechanism and could get damaged by drops or by
dust and grime getting into it (although Oppo does claim it's been
tested well to avoid such long term issues), also unfortunately, it has
no 4K video recording support.
Connectivity
Sadly, it uses the old Micro-USB port, instead of the modern USB-C standard.
Battery
Very
good battery life with a 4000mAh battery. It will give you up to 1.5
days of use. Oppo F11 Pro also supports VOOC fast charging standard,
which is quite good, you will go from 0 to 46 percent in 30 minutes.
Conclusion
Oppo
F11 Pro is a a great, premium looking, all round device if you seek
differentiation, this is a phone that should be seen for its beautiful
design and engineering and not specifications.
Well,
Having said that, there is a lot of great competition around. The Redmi
Note 7, offers a faster processor at a much lower price, the Poco F1
and the Zenfone 5Z offer a much faster processor and more bang for the
buck at a similar price. Also, the Oppo F11 Pro also faces competition
from a pretty similar pop up selfie camera device, the V15 Pro, which is
a bit more expensive but provides a more versatile camera experience,
and a slightly better processor.
Overall,
the F11 Pro makes sense if you are looking for the novelty of a pop up
selfie camera or a 'true' full screen design, and prioritise looks over
other factors. If not, then you have better choices around.
