Oppo F11 Pro Price In India: Excellent Design, Great Camera

Oppo F11 Pro price in India is Rs 24,999 but the smartphone looks and feels expensive. Compared to the exterior of the phone, its internals may seem to be lacking a little. However, it’s worth noting that this phone isn’t marketed as a performance beast. If you love cameras and only want to spend Rs 25,000 on a smartphone, then the Oppo F11 Pro is the right choice.

Oppo F11 Pro price in India - Impressive Design

Oppo doesn’t come to play when it comes to design. Compared to the F9 Pro, the back panel of the Oppo F11 Pro has a triple-gradient. And this looks quite lovely, especially on the Thunder Black version. It has a premium feel to it although it would have better if it had a glass finish rather than a polycarbonate unibody design. The smartphone feels a little bit heavier. The backside of the phone houses a dual-camera setup and the flash. On top of the phone is a pop-up camera. The polished edges give a grippy feel. Everything is centrally aligned, including the fingerprint reader, the “designed by Oppo” text and the Oppo branding, offering a very symmetrical look. On the front, we have a notch-less display. Oppo F11 Pro spots a 90.8% screen to body ratio. The fact that there is no notch plus the huge 6.3-inch display provides one of the best viewing experiences. For a phone under Rs 30,000, the display is neat with almost nothing to complain about with accurate colors. However, there is a slight oversaturation of yellows and reds. But compared to the Nokia 8.1 and the OnePlus 6T, the colors on the Oppo F11 Pro still look more real. It would have been better if the display was brighter. However, in a brightly lit sunny day, the display was still legible. And in the dark, it dims enough not to hurt users’ eyes. There is a blue light filter for those who use the phone during nighttime.

Oppo F11 Pro price in India – Splendid 48 MP camera

The 48 MP Sony IMX586 sensor that Oppo used does a great job. The same sensor is used for the Redmi Note 7 Pro, which also does a remarkable job regarding photo capturing. The phone comes with a 48 MP main camera along with a 5MP depth sensor. The latter is for background blurring, resulting in DSLR-like pictures. Pixel binning is used for relatively sharped and detailed 12MP images. You can shoot at 48MP as well by changing the camera settings. There is not much of a difference between 12MP images and 48MP ones. In comparison with its competitor the Nokia 8.1, the photos of the Oppo F11 Pro have a better dynamic range and color. But the colors look slightly oversaturated as this has been known to be a trademark of Oppo and Vivo for years. Exposure is nearly equal to that of the Nokia 8.1. Video recording is great too with EIS stabilizing shaking hand-held footage. The Oppo F11 Pro can only record 720p and 1080p at 30fps. The phone’s night mode is a hit and miss. Although in low-light conditions, the photos come out with a lot of detail but there is a lot of noise. Meanwhile, the Nokia 8.1, which doesn’t even have a dedicated night mode, captured photos that are more accurate in colors.

The pop-up camera acts as the front camera. It takes no more than a second to pop up and go down. The 16MP front sensor has great quality. For every photo, you can see a smoothing effect. The Nokia 8.1 will be more suitable for those who like a natural facial look.

Oppo F11 Pro price in India – A mildly impressive performance

The Oppo F11 Pro’s specs are decent. But Poco F1 vs Oppo F11 Pro, the latter can’t compete against the Poco F1. Poco went for the hardware instead of design and built quality. Meanwhile, Oppo went for the opposite approach. The Oppo F11 Pro has a Helio P70 MediaTek SoC which can also be found in the Realme 3. The phone offers 6GB RAM as well as storage of 54GB. You get to expand the storage with a micro-SD card. Benchmarks suggest that the Oppo F11 Pro is slightly behind its competitor Nokia 8.1 with its Snapdragon 710 SoC. Apps like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and other heavy apps operate without a hiccup. For PUBG Mobile players, because of processor constraints, it isn’t possible for them to play the game at max graphics settings. And like most phones, after an hour or two, players will start experiencing a bit of lag. On the other hand, Asphalt 9 can run for a longer period of time. There is a headphone jack. At the bottom is a single speaker. It isn’t the best but it is enough for listening in-room. Call quality and the earpiece have nothing to be complained about. The fingerprint reader, as well as the face unlocking system of the phone, function lightning fast. The only problem here is that the phone’s face unlocking system is a single-cam unlock, meaning it isn't secure and could easily be fooled using photos and videos.

Oppo F11 Pro price in India – Software

With ColorOS 6.0, the software has been improved greatly. However, there are things that still need improvement. For example, there aren’t any options for users to turn off the notification saying that you should sign in to your Oppo ID. Users can’t remove the extra browser, the unnecessary Oppo App Store and the second messenger app. The drop-down menu with those big icons looks great. And there is an app drawer, which is a plus.

Oppo F11 Pro price in India – Superb battery life

The 4,000mAh battery of the phone is doing an excellent job. Players of PUBG can play the game for two hours straight. The phone also has the VOOC fast charging system of Oppo. With this system, users can charge their device from 0 to 50% in just 30 minutes. For a full charge, the phone needs around one hour, which is 50% faster than the Nokia 8.1. But do note that, the Nokia 8.1 has a smaller battery at 3,500mAh.

Verdict

With Oppo F11 Pro price in India is Rs 24,999, it is suitable for those who want a smartphone that is premium looking but doesn’t cost too much. The phone’s display, camera, and battery all do a remarkable job. However, its performance and software could use a little improvement. And for those who like something that is a little bit extra, there is the Oppo F11 Pro Avengers edition. Oppo F11 Pro Avengers edition price is Rs. 27,990.
