BBK Electronics-owned OPPO has taken the wraps off its new smartphones – the R11s and R11s Plus. Both phones are refreshed variants of the R11 and R11 Plus released back in June.

OPPO R11s & R11s Plus Design

The biggest change in the new phones are the full-screen (18:9) displays which have replaced the traditional 16:9 displays and given the phones a new look. There also are some changes in the camera and battery departments but not enough to warrant a change if you already own the OPPO R11 or R11 Plus.

The switch to 18:9 displays means the R11s and R11s Plus look different. The fingerprint scanners have been pushed to the back, thanks to the reduced bezels. Connectivity ports and microphones are still in the same position but now sit in a groove.

On the rear we still have dual cameras which are slightly raised with a LED flash on the right. Keeping them company is the fingerprint scanner. OPPO has also ditched the double-line design of the antenna lines for a single thick one.

The OPPO R11s has a 6.01” 2160 x 1080 display. It is powered by the Snapdragon 660 SoC and paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

The rear cameras are a combination of a 20MP f/1.7 sensor and a 16MP f/1.7 sensor. The front facing camera is still a 20MP sensor but now has AI features that add some few tricks. The AI Beauty works the same way as that of the OPPO F5. You get over 200 facial enhancements, scene detection, and portrait mode.

The OPPO R11s also packs a 3205mAh battery with support for VOOC fast charging technology. It comes with the new Color OS 3.2 based on Android 7.1.2 Nougat which brings new features like Night Shield, face unlock, and a smart gallery that categorizes images according to the faces, time, location, scenes etc.

The R11 Plus on the other hand has a larger 6.43” screen, beating the unreleased Gionee M7 Plus to clinch the title of largest full-screen display. It is powered by the Snapdragon 660 too but gets 6GB of RAM. Storage is still 64GB though. Camera configuration is the same as the R11s but there is a larger 4,000mAh battery under the hood.

All the teases and leaks come to an end today as the OPPO F5 has now been officially launched. The OPPO F5 is the first full-screen smartphone from the top Chinese manufacturer. However, instead of unveiling it in its home country, it has done so in the Philippines.

OPPO F5 Design

The OPPO F5 is a sleek device that will surely turn heads. It doesn’t have glass on both sides but the finish is nothing short of impressive.

One of the highlights of the design is the 0.4mm laser thin antenna line carved using vacuum radium technology. It looks good on the gold and black unit but is better appreciated on the red variant.

OPPO F5 Specs

The OPPO F5 has a 6.0-inch LTPS TFT display with a 2160 x 1080 (FHD+) resolution and an 18:9 aspect ratio. It is the same screen size as the OPPO F3 Plus but won’t feel like a behemoth in your hand thanks to its reduced bezels which brings the height to 156.5mm (compared to the F3 Plus’ 163.6).

The F5 is powered by MediaTek’s Helio P23 SoC. There are two memory variants – 4GB RAM +32GB ROM and 6GB RAM + 64GB ROM. Both versions have a dedicated MicroSD card slot for up to an additional 256GB storage.

Under the metal back of the OPPO F5 is a 3,200mAh battery. All that shaving off as to give away something, right? There are two nano SIM slots, dual band Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.2.

The OPPO F5 comes with the new ColorOS 3.2 based on Android 7.1.2 Nougat. It brings new features such as O-Share – a wireless transfer technology between OPPO devices; gaming DND; Night Shield which lets you choose between normal, warm, and black and white modes so your eyes are protected; and face unlock.

OPPO F5 Cameras

The OPPO F5 packs impressive camera specs. The highlight is the 20MP AI Beauty selfie camera. The AI Beauty enhances more than 200 facial features to make sure that those selfies turn out better than you can imagine.

The F5 can also detect the scene of the picture to determine the luminance it adds to your photos by differentiating between the different background lighting conditions. The F/2.0 aperture and 1/2.8” sensor can also take pretty nice portrait images with bokeh effects as well as bright pictures in low-light conditions. Below are camera samples taken with the selfie camera.

The rear camera is a 16MP F/1.8 sensor. It has a small bump and there is a LED flash on its right. OPPO has also provided camera samples.
