A decade. That’s how long it’s taken OPPO to establish itself as a bona fide tech giant.
Previously, the Chinese company dabbled in MP3 and MP4 players, but all that was a long time ago. Today, it produces some of the most advanced smartphones in the world, with its latest and greatest invention being the R11 – a phone that OPPO claims has the best camera in the market.
That’s a bit of a long shot, because there are other brands with brilliant cameras too. But the R11 is definitely up there with the best of them. For instance, this sleek-looking gadget sports a crystal clear 20-megapixel plus 16-megapixel dual camera on its rear; with a 2x zoom feature to get all those teeny details in the frame without losing out on quality.
There’s a portrait mode as well, which isn’t as good as the iPhone 7 Plus’s or Huawei P10 Plus’s in our opinion, although it’s sufficient enough for replicating the fake ‘bokeh’ effect that seems to be so popular these days. Oh, and it has a sweet 20-megapixel front camera that lets you take great selfies too. Plus, there’s a beauty option that ensures you won’t need to head into Meitu as often for last minute touch-ups.
So in terms of taking photos, this is one slick sharpshooter. As for other specs, the R11 comes with a medley of decent features, such as an AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chip for processing power, as well as a 5.5-inch display that’s hunkered down in solid Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
All this makes the R11 a very good mid-range phone that’ll definitely give you a bang for your buck. Add to the mix a beautifully designed curved body that’s just 0.27-inches thin and a gorgeous colour scheme of gold, black and pink (not available in Singapore), and you’ve got a phone that’s real easy to be proud of.
If you’re interested in scoring the phone, here’s a neat pre-order incentive for you. Every order of the R11 comes with a free engraving service, but that’s not all. For the first 300 orders unlocked, you’ll receive complimentary movie tickets, while a total of 500 orders unlocked sees you getting snazzy new Bluetooth headphones, for free too! As good a deal as it gets, eh?
The OPPO R11 is retailing for $699. Pre-orders can be made now via www.oppo.com/sg. Phones can be collected this Saturday, July 1, at the Suntec concept store.
