OPPO F11

Oppo F11 design is pleasing with a gradient colour finish back. The overall appearance is attractive and gives the phone a trendy yet premium feel. The phone's back houses the pill-shaped camera module with a dual-camera setup and a single LED flashlight. Unlike other Oppo phones, Oppo F11 does not have an in-screen fingerprint sensor and is placed below the flashlight on the back.

Xiaomi has put a lot of thought and effort into the phone's design and carefully chosen the golden accent colour for the edges and the Oppo logo. The front panel has a teardrop notch that holds a single front camera and the earpiece grille. While the phone's horizontal bezels are thin, vertical ones are thick, giving the phone a bulky look.

The phone also has a dual sim slot with a dedicated slot for a microSD card on the phone's left side. The volume rockers are also placed below the sim tray, and the power button is on the opposite side to give the phone symmetry. The phone's top has a noise cancellation mic, while the bottom houses a 3.5mm headphone jack, a micro USB charging port, and a speaker grille.

With the glossy finish, the back of the phone is a fingerprint magnet. However, the phone feels comfortable in hand and does not seem too big or heavy.

Oppo F11 screen has an impressive display of 6.5" size. It is a full HD display with a pixel resolution of 2340x1080 and a 19:9 aspect ratio. Also, as the screen has thin bezels, the phone has a screen-to-body ratio of 90.5%.

The display produces vibrant and natural colours with crisp texts and graphics. We did not see any pixelation on the device in the initial testing, even when close to the eye. While the peak brightness of the phone is sufficient for indoors, it fails miserably outdoors. As Oppo F11 has a reflective display and not a bright enough screen, you will have a hard time using the phone outdoors. You can minimise this issue with a matte screen guard, but it won't be perfect.

The company allows you to make changes to the screen colours according to your preference which is always a welcome feature.

Oppo F11 specifications include a powerful MediaTek Helio P70 processor with 4GB RAM and 128GB Storage. The phone can easily handle everyday tasks such as browsing, clicking pictures, watching videos, etc. It can even manage background apps efficiently for a long time without affecting the device's overall performance.

The device is powerful enough to handle heavy TPP games such as Call Of Duty with ease on medium graphics. When adjusted to high graphics, the phone performed well with slight heating. In our initial testings, we did not see any frame drops or network lags while playing games.

Oppo F11 camera has similar camera specifications to Oppo F11 competitor Oppo F11 pro and has a 48MP primary sensor with a 5MP secondary sensor on the back. The front camera of Oppo F11 has a 16MP resolution and does an excellent job at clicking selfies.

The phone's camera app uses 12MP as a default resolution but can be changed to 48MP by changing the aspect ratio to 4:3. However, by doing so, you cannot use additional features such as HDR, Zoom, Burst Mode, etc. The 48MP mode or the Ultra HD mode will capture more detailed and sharper images.

Oppo F11 also has a Portrait mode which has a decent edge-detection and will give you good images. You can also use the Night Mode, in which several photos are combined to create a single shot at night. However, you should not expect flagship phones level photos considering the price of the phone.

The battery is one of the main selling features of Oppo F11. It has a 4020 mAh battery which can easily last more than a day with normal usage. Heavy users who like gaming can also enjoy a full day of use on a single charge.

The device also has several power-saving settings that you can use to extend the battery life. Despite the micro USB port, the Oppo F11 battery supports VOOC charging and can charge the phone from 0 to 100 in 1 and a half hours.
