OPPO has just officially announced the launch date for its highly anticipated F21 Pro series of smartphone. The company revealed the upcoming devices’ launch date of April 12 in a recent press release.
In the new teaser, the Chinese smartphone maker also shared an image that showcased a bit of the F21 Pro series rear design. The model in the image is F21 Pro in Sunset Orange color variant that comes with OPPO’s industry first Fibreglass Leather design on the back, which doubles as a “frameless” battery cover. This helps makes the handset thin, light, and more durable as well. Notably, it took the brand’s engineers two years of research and refinement to chose lychee grain leather for the base material due to its “plush” feel.
As per official notes, the lychee grain leather material is waterproof and is also quite resistant to wear and tear. During lab trials, the material was subjected to extremes tests that involved rubbing the material with an alcohol soaked pad, a rubber eraser, and a denim swatch over 5,000, 10,000, and 200,000 times respectively. This was done to check its durability and ability to retain its color.
Apart from the orange option, the F21 Pro is also set to come in a Cosmic Black variant that users OPPO Glow technology as well, which makes the rear panel look glossy with a matte feel in hand. The F21 Pro 5G will be available in three color options, with the last one being the Rainbow Spectrum, which uses a ‘three layer texture and a two layer coating’ manufacturing process. So stick around for more, as we will be covering the launch event.
