Back in early April, Oppo started the Android 12-based ColorOS 12 beta testing for Oppo F19, F19s, A74, and A95. Almost two months later, these smartphones are now being blessed with the stable update.

Following the schedule shared for May, Oppo has begun to push ColorOS 12 stable update for the aforementioned handsets. In fact, the devices got access to the update a day earlier.

The phones were supposed to receive the Android 12 stable update on May 24 (today). However, Oppo had begun seeding the OTA software update yesterday (May 23) itself.

For the unaware, the Oppo F19 and Oppo F19s were released exclusively in India. The same smartphones go by the name of Oppo A74 and Oppo A95 in Indonesia. 

Hence, the latter two phones are also receiving the update together since they are basically the same devices. According to the official announcement posts on the Oppo community, the update arrives with firmware version C.09 for all four handsets.

Users need to navigate to Settings > Software Updates to download and install the update. The OTA software builds for these smartphones are being pushed in batches. Therefore, some users may get them earlier, while others may have to wait.

Tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore had recently revealed that the OPPO will be launching the OPPO A95 4G in Southeast Asian markets soon. The company is reportedly planning to launch Reno6 Lite in Colombia. Now the tipster has claimed that these phones will be rebranded version of the OPPO A74 / F19.

Back in April, OPPO announced the OPPO A74 4G and its 5Gv variant. It also unveiled the OPPO F19 in quick succession in India. The F19 specs were identical to the A74. In September, the company announced the OPPO F19s in India as new color variants of the F19. Now, the brand is gearing up to launch the OPPO A95 4G and Reno 6 Lite.

As mentioned above, these phones will offer the same design and specs as the F19 / A74. However, these handsets may arrive in different colors and RAM/storage combinations.

OPPO A95 / Reno6 Lite specifications

The OPPO A95 / Reno6 Lite is expected to arrive with a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a punch-hole design. It will offer a Full HD+ resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate.

For selfies, it may feature a 16-megapixel camera. Its back panel has a 48-megapixel primary camera, which could be assisted by a pair of 2-megapixel lenses for depth and macro shots.

The Snapdragon 662 mobile platform could be present under the hood of the device. It may come with a 5,000mAh battery that carries support for 33W fast charging. It will come preloaded with Android 11 and ColorOS 11.1.

The OPPO A95 is expected to come with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of built-in storage. It is likely to come in color options such as Glowing Starry Black and Rainbow Silver. The details on RAM/storage and color variants of the Reno6 Lite are under wraps.

Smartphone maker OPPO has increased the price of two of its handsets in India. The devices that have received a price hike are OPPO F19 and OPPO A54. Let’s take a look at how much they cost in the country.

The OPPO F19 launched in India in April. The phone comes in a single 6GB + 128GB storage configuration. It debuted at ₹18,990.

Now, the price of this smartphone has been increased by 1,000. Hence, it now retails at ₹19,9990 in India. This handset gets a price hike ahead of the release of a new version called OPPO F19s.

On the other hand, the OPPO A54 also made its entry in India in April. Unlike the former device, this one comes in three storage configurations – 4GB + 64GB, 4GB + 128GB, and 6GB + 128GB.

All three variants of OPPO A54 received a price hike in July. However, this time, only the 4GB + 64GB sees an increase in its price by ₹1,000. It now costs ₹14,990, up from ₹13,990. For comparison, the phone was introduced at ₹13,490.

Smartphones in India have been receiving price hikes since the beginning of the second quarter due to the shortage of components. Although the frequency of increases in price has been slowed lately, the problem still appears to affect companies.

There are indications that the Oppo F19s could be launched anytime soon, following the Bluetooth SIG certification of the device. The F19s will join the lineup of smartphones in the F19 series, the first of which was unveiled in March 2021. The lineup currently includes the F19 Pro and F19 Pro+ 5G which were both unveiled in March 2021, and the F19, launched in April 2021.

The Bluetooth SIG certification usually precedes the launch of devices, although it is not definitive and one cannot predict the length of time until the launch of the device. However, most products do get a quick lunch after their Bluetooth certification. There are only a few details that could be pieced from the Bluetooth certifying authority. The model number of the Oppo F19s is CPH2223. It will have Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity.

The Oppo F19s has also been the subject of a few tipsters. A recent leak indicated that the F19s is primed for an imminent launch in India at Rs. 18,000 ($245). It was also stated that the F19s will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor. The F19s is rumored to run on Android 11 together with ColorOS11.1. As per the specs, the F19s will have a 6.43-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a decent refresh rate, as well as 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

The Oppo F19s is also rumored to have a triple camera setup on the rear, signposted by a 48MP main camera. It also comes with a 5,000mAh battery and 33W charging support. If the projections are right, we may see the unveiling of the Oppo F19s anytime soon.

The post Oppo F19s gets Bluetooth certification, launch imminent! appeared first on Gizmochina.

The OPPO F19 series made its debut in India in March. Initially, the brand introduced two models, namely OPPO F19 Pro and OPPO F19 Pro+. A month later in April, the company released the vanilla OPPO F19 in the country. Now, four months from that, the Chinese smartphone maker is tipped to launch yet another model in the lineup.

According to a report by 91Mobiles, OPPO is gearing up to launch a new device called OPPO F19s in India. This smartphone will be a special edition of the already available OPPO F19 (review).

Unfortunately, the publication has no details about this phone. It merely speculates the handset to retail around ₹19,000 since the regular OPPO F19 also costs the same.

For those unaware, the OPPO F19 sold in India is also known as OPPO A74 in some markets. The phone comes with a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 SoC, 48MP (wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) triple camera setup, 16MP selfie camera, ColorOS 11.1 based on Android 11, and a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging.

Other features include dual SIM card slots, an in-display fingerprint sensor, a dedicated MicroSD card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB Type-C port, an 8mm thickness, and a 175g weight.

The OPPO F19s, which is said to launch during the upcoming festive season in India could have a similar set of specifications. Maybe, it could be just an OPPO F19 in different color like the OPPO F17 Pro Diwali Edition.

A few days back, OPPO announced its achievements in developing smarter and safer Flash Charge tech solutions. The company is celebrating this by offering deals on OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G and OPPO F19 series in India as part of its ChargeUp campaign (August 8-21) ahead of Independence Day. At the same time, OPPO has also partnered with Spotify for personalized playlists.

OPPO is offering a cashback of up to ₹3,000 on OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G, ₹2,000 on OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G, and ₹1,500 on the rest of the OPPO F19 series.

The post OPPO is offering deals on Reno6 Pro 5G, F19 series in India ahead of Independence Day appeared first on Gizmochina.

A couple of weeks ago, OPPO announced its sub-₹20,000 smartphone challenger in the Indian market, namely the OPPO F19. The brand’s strategy is pretty straightforward this time, with the F19 delivering excellent experience in a couple of departments, while other areas being pretty average.

So let’s take a quick look at how the OPPO F19 performs in this highly competitive Indian mid-range smartphone market.

OPPO F19 Review: Design

Inside the box, the OPPO F19 brings the standard set of accessories in addition to the phone like the charger, data cable, SIM ejector tool, and even a protective silicone case. You’ll also find wired earphones inside the box.

The OPPO F19 borrows its design from the F19 Pro and Pro+ models. This is a good thing as the design on this mid-ranger looks relatively premium. There are only two colors being offered by the brand in India – Prism Black and Fluid Blue. The review unit I’ve got is the Fluid Blue color but the shade is pretty unique. The color looks closer to Stone Blue which isn’t common among smartphones. So the phone looks different.

The OPPO F19 has a high gloss finish at the back and it looks pretty premium — provided it remains clean. However, there’s no denying that the back is a fingerprint magnet, and ensuring that it stays clean and smudge-free would be a task. The camera module also protrudes quite a bit from the back but the 8mm thin body doesn’t really warrant any complaints. Plus, you get a free case inside the box, which I definitely recommend putting on the phone.

One of the biggest highlights of the F19 is its weight. The phone weighs just 175 grams which is an excellent figure considering it features a large 5000mAh battery inside. The weight distribution is well balanced and the curved back edges ensure that the hands-on feel of the phone is very comfortable. However, like most phones these days, one-hand operation is still not easy.

The phone also features an in-display fingerprint sensor and it does the job well. It isn’t the fastest sensor I’ve used, but for a sub-₹20,000 smartphone, I think the fingerprint sensor works well.

Following the tradition of most phones in 2020-21, the OPPO F19 features a punch-hole camera (16MP) on the top left corner of the display. The position and size of this camera cut out ensures that it doesn’t come in between your display experience.

On the left, you get the volume buttons while there’s a power button on the right. The F19 comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack, USB-C port, and a single speaker setup at the bottom.

The single speaker is pretty loud and clear. There’s a bit of hollowness of the sound output, however, for this price segment, you won’t be disappointed.

OPPO F19 Review: Display

The display is another highlight of the OPPO F19. Like I said in my introduction, the F19  performed well in some areas and that includes the display department.

The phone features a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with 1080p FHD+ resolution. The 800 nits peak bright is sufficient under bright sunlight and if you are indoors, then the saturation and the clarify of the display are pretty good.

AMOLED display also ensures that you get premium features like AOD right out of the box.

The side bezels are pretty thin but the chin is a bit thicker than what I would have preferred. Still, the overall display experience is pretty good for its price segment.

One major drawback of this screen is that the refresh rate is limited to 60Hz.

OPPO F19 Review: Performance & Gaming

Snapdragon 662 is a pretty average chip from Qualcomm and in my daily usage, the chip did well enough to handle the entire UI rendering the animations and other UI elements with minimal lag. So your everyday experience with the OPPO F19 like browsing articles, watching videos should all be good.

The phone comes in a single 6GB and 128GB variant with LPDDR4X RAM standard and an expandable memory card slot. This along with the headphone jack could cater to a niche set of customers who can’t live without them.

When it comes to gaming, the chip has enough power to run games like COD: Mobile with a few hiccups. If you are in the high graphics setting, expect some basic glitches during gameplay. But for less intensive games like say the Temple Run 2, the experience will be smooth.

OPPO F19 Review: Camera

In recent times, OPPO’s cameras have been all about its software processing prowess. The same trend continues with the OPPO F19 as well.

The phone comes with a triple camera setup with a 48MP f/1.7 primary shooter, 2MP portrait camera, and 2MP Macro shooter. In actual use, the primary camera performance is excellent, with the portrait and macro shooters being average.

Main Camera

The 48MP primary camera is the only highlight of the OPPO F91’s triple camera setup. The samples from this sensor have good saturation and dynamic range ensuring the images look good without any editing. You also have the AI mode, which produces saturated samples. In fact, the AI mode boosts the saturation to a point where you may dislike it. But it can come in handy when things are too dull and you want something that’s social media ready out of the box. That said, on most occasions, the primary camera without AI mode did a good job in capturing vibrant colors with a good amount of details. So daytime photography is excellent on the OPPO F19.

Night Performance

When the lighting goes down, this 48MP sensor starts to struggle. The phone had issues focusing in dim lit conditions and the colors are pretty dull too. However, the night mode was a surprise as it enhanced the colors and brightness of the nighttime images to a considerable extent. So, even though the standard mode struggles at night time photography, OPPO’s night camera algorithms ensure that you can get usable to good samples even in low light situations.

Portrait Camera

I wasn’t expecting much from the 2MP portrait shooter on the F19. But once again, OPPO’s algorithms ensured that you get a deep background blur with good colors even with a 2MP resolution sensor.

Macro Camera

Again, it’s an average macro shooter. If you put in the efforts, you’ll be able to take pretty decent samples. But again, the 2MP resolution really limits the quality of photos that you can take with this sensor.

To conclude, I definitely miss a wide-angle sensor on the OPPO F19, especially when rivals offer it in its price segment. OPPO’s camera algorithms ensure that you get pretty good samples from its main camera and for most people, the 48MP shooter should be enough for everyday photography. As for macro and portrait sensors, they are average and don’t expect anything out of the ordinary.

OPPO F19 Review: Battery

It takes around 1 hour 10 minutes for the large 5000mAh battery to charge using the 33W provided charger. While this isn’t blazing fast, this figure is pretty good for such a large battery.

After an hour of gaming, a couple of hours of streaming on data, and other daily activities like replying to messages and emails, you are still likely to have 20-30% of charge left at the end of the day. So, even with heavy usage, you can go on for an entire day or even stretch it to the next day with this large 5000mAh battery.

The fact that the phone is just 175 grams heavy is definitely its biggest selling point.

So the OPPO F19 excels in the battery life department.

To conclude, the OPPO F19 doesn’t really stand out among its rivals. It doesn’t have any flashy camera setup or a powerful chipset. What it does have is a long-lasting battery inside a lightweight body. The AMOLED display is good enough for most people and the 48MP primary camera does well enough to not disappoint you in the camera department.

So if you want a no-nonsense lightweight phone running ColorOS 11.1 with dual SIM card slots, dedicated SD card slot, and headphone jack for everyday use, then you can check out the OPPO F19. If not for these requirements, there are plenty of other better alternatives in the Indian market.

The post OPPO F19 Review: A lightweight 5000mAh smartphone under ₹20,000 appeared first on Gizmochina.

OPPO did not launch the whole F19 series at the same time. Firstly, the company launched the OPPO F19 Pro and F19 Pro+ 5G, while after a few weeks the vanilla OPPO F19 hitten the shelves as well. All of these phones belong to the mid-range segment and they boast great specifications offered at an amazing price. They are definitely among the best phones in terms of quality-price ratio in the Indian market. In order to let you know the differences between these handsets, we decided to publish an internal comparison between their specifications.

OPPO F19 vs OPPO F19 Pro vs OPPO F19 Pro Plus 5G

Design

The OPPO F19, the F19 Pro, and the F19 Pro+ 5G come with different aesthetics. My favorite one is the OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G due to its high screen-to-body ratio, thin and lightweight body, and less invasive camera elements. All the camera elements of the OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G are included in the camera module (which makes it more elegant), while the OPPO F19 Pro has a dual LED flash outside the camera module. The vanilla OPPO F19 is a thicker phone and it comes with a lower screen-to-body ratio, that is why I would discard it.

Display

The displays of these three phones come with exactly the same specifications and they are pretty good panels if we consider the price segment. OPPO F19, F19 Pro, and F19 Pro+ 5G boast an AMOLED display with a 6.43-inch diagonal and a Full HD+ resolution with 1080 x 2400 pixels. Their typical brightness is pretty high with 430 nits, and they can reach up to 800 nits (peak brightness). The phones also come with an in-display fingerprint reader making the authentication more comfortable.

Hardware/Software

The best hardware is provided by the OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G. First of all, it is the only 5G phone of the trio and it supports the sub-6 GHz spectrum. Further, its Dimensity 800U is the most powerful one and it is paired with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. The OPPO F19 Pro lacks 5G, but its Helio P95 chipset is still an SoC with very good performance in the midrange segment. With the Snapdragon 662, SoC found on the OPPO F19, you can get lower-midrange performance. All the phones run Android 11 out of the box, customized by ColorOS 11.1.

Camera

OPPO F19 Pro and F19 Pro+ 5G have exactly the same rear camera setup. It is composed of a main 48 MP sensor with a bright f/1.7 focal aperture, an 8 MP ultrawide camera, and a pair of sensors with 2 MP resolutions for macros and depth calculation. Even the front camera is the same with its 16 MP resolution and f/2.4 focal aperture. We are talking about midrange cameras without optical stabilization, but they can provide good photo quality in good light conditions and a decent one even with low light. You get the same cameras with the vanilla OPPO F19 with the exception of the 8 MP ultrawide sensor which is absent on this model.

Battery

If you need the longest battery life, you should go for the OPPO F19. It has a way bigger 5000 mAh battery and, despite the production process of the SoC is worse than the Dimensity 800U found on the OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G (11 nm vs 7 nm), the battery life is way longer in every scenario. On the other hand, the OPPO F19 Pro+ offers faster charging speeds thanks to the SuperVOOC technology with a power of 50W. You get “only” 33W fast charging with the vanilla F19.

OPPO F19 vs OPPO F19 Pro vs OPPO F19 Pro Plus 5G: Price

OPPO F19 starts from about Rs. 18990, OPPO F19 Pro costs Rs. 21490 in its base variant, and OPPO F19 Pro+ starts from Rs. 23,899. The OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G is the natural winner thanks to 5G support, a better chipset, and faster charging speeds. But with the OPPO F19 Pro, you can get a higher value for money, while the OPPO F19 has the longest battery life.

Last month was one of the busiest ones in a while. We had so many events that it was a bit hard to keep count of the many devices that launched in the span of a month. Well, if you had thought of taking a breather, hold on, because we are back with yet another edition of Upcoming Smartphones April 2021 Edition.

As usual, we have entries from well-known brands like OPPO, Xiaomi, Redmi, realme, Nokia, and a few surprises from companies like Sony and TCL. So without wasting your time, let’s dive into it straight away.

Redmi Gaming Smartphone

Gaming smartphones have their own niche audience and companies like ASUS, Nubia, Black Shark never fail to tap into the excitement. However, they are going to have a new entry and probably a potential rival, Redmi.

Redmi’s Product Director Wang Teng has confirmed that the company will hold a launch event this month and rumors are rife that the star of the show could be the Redmi’s first gaming phone. So far, we know that a device with model number M2104K10C/M2104K10I under respective brands Redmi/POCO could be the upcoming device.

It is confirmed to feature MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset something that we saw in the likes of realme GT Neo as well.

Samsung Galaxy F12, F02s

Samsung is beginning the month by launching two devices under the F-series- Galaxy F12, Galaxy F02s on April 5. Teasers so far hint that they share a lot of specs with the already launched Galaxy M12 and M02s.

1 of 2

The Galaxy F12 will feature a 6.5-inch Infinity-V 90Hz display, quad-cameras with 48MP ISOCELL GM2 main sensor. It is likely to feature an Exynos 850 chipset, 4/6GB RAM up to 128GB storage, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 6,000mAh battery with 15W charging.

The Galaxy F02s, on the other hand, is said to have a 6.5-inch display, Snapdragon 450 chipset, Triple-cameras with 13MP main sensor, 5,000mAh battery and is likely to launch at a lesser price tag than the Galaxy F12.

OPPO F19

OPPO unveiled the F19 Pro series last month in India. At the event, it teased that a non-Pro OPPO F19 would debut soon. Accordingly, the device is finally launching on April 6.

However, ahead of the official launch, the entire specs of the device have been revealed. As per the OPPO Nepal website, the OPPO F19 will feature a 6.43-inch FHD+ display,  Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 SoC, 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, 48MP quad-cameras, 16MP selfie shooter, 5,000mAh battery with 33W charging.

Nokia X10, X20, G10, G20, C20

HMD Global is holding an event on April 8 and it is expected to flag a new wave of Nokia smartphones under a different naming scheme.

The lineup is said to include X, C, and G-series of devices. So far, leaks say that the devices could be Nokia X10 & X20, G10 & G20, and an entry-level C20. The Nokia C20 is likely to sport a 1GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, run Android 11 OS, and come with an 89 euros price tag.

The X-series is said to be 5G-capable with both the X10 & X20 featuring Snapdragon 480 chipset and up to 6GB RAM. However, they are said to differ in storage, camera, display(6.2-inches on X20), and inturn price as well.

• Vivo V21 series

  • Vivo V21 series was rumored to come before in India but that hasn’t happened yet. The company had other ideas and brought a flagship X60 series to the country. However, it could soon launch one of the supposed members of the V21 series- Vivo V21 SE.

The post Upcoming Smartphones in April 2021: Redmi, Samsung, OPPO, Nokia, Sony, & more appeared first on Gizmochina.

In early March, OPPO debuted the OPPO F19 series in India. But the company only introduced two models, namely OPPO F19 Pro and OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G.  Now, weeks later, the brand has confirmed to launch the standard OPPO F19 in India on April 6.

OPPO F19 India Launch Date

Initially, there used to be a single OPPO F series device in a generation. But that number increased to two with the introduction of the Pro variant. This year, the company added the third model in the series with the moniker Pro+. The latest variant also brings 5G.

That said, for some reason, OPPO did not launch all three devices in the OPPO F19 series in India earlier last month. Instead, it only debuted the OPPO F19 Pro and OPPO F19 Pro+ first and has now scheduled another separate launch event for the OPPO F19 on April 6.

OPPO F19 Specifications and Features

OPPO India had already teased the launch of OPPO F19 before revealing the launch date. So we already knew how it will look. But now, thanks to OPPO Nepal, we have also learned the entire specs of this phone.

According to the handset’s listing on the OPPO Nepal website, the upcoming OPPO F19 will be the company’s first 33W fast charging smartphone. We came to know about the existence of this device (OPPO CPH2219) when it was certified by CQC in February.

Talking about specifications, this phone will flaunt a 6.43-inch FHD+ (2400×1080 pixels) AMOLED display with up to an 800 nits peak brightness level, 409PPI, 60Hz refresh rate, 180Hz touch sampling rate, 1000000:1 contrast ratio, 92% DCI-P3 color gamut, 100% sRGB color gamut, 90.8% screen-to-body-ratio, a punch-hole at the top left corner, and an in-screen fingerprint sensor.

The smartphone will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 SoC paired with 6GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB internal storage. There could be other storage variants as well. On the connectivity front, the handset will support dual-SIM, 4G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, and GNSS (GPS, A-GPS, Beidou, Glonass, Galileo).

The phone will come with all the essential sensors, such as an accelerometer, proximity sensor, gyroscope, ambient light sensor, and compass, It will also include a 3.5mm headphone jack, MicroSD card slot, and a USB Type-C port.

As far as cameras are concerned, the smartphone will sport a 48MP (wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) triple camera setup on the back and a single 16MP punch-hole selfie camera on the front. Further, the handset will run ColorOS 11.1 based on Android 11 and will be backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging.

Last but not least, the OPPO F19 will measure 160.3 x 73.8 x 7.95mm in dimensions, weigh 175g, and will be available in two colors (Black, Blue).

OPPO teased the arrival of the OPPO F19 in India soon after it announced the OPPO F19 Prov and F19 Pro+ 5G smartphones in the country. Since then, the company has been silent on its arrival. Yesterday, the Sri Lanka division released teased the arrival of the F19 handset. It appears that the smartphone may go official early in the coming month.

In the below-shown tweet, OPPO revealed that the OPPO F19 will be available soon. The image reveals that the back panel of the phone curves towards the left and right edges. The triple-camera module placed at the upper-left corner features a 48-megapixel main camera.

OPPO is yet to reveal the front design and the specifications of the OPPO F19. Hopefully, new details of the smartphone will be revealed later this week. In the previous, reliable tipster Ishan Agarwal claimed that the F19 will be the sleekest phone with a 5,000mAh battery. He added that the phone will be priced under Rs 20,000 (~$272).

As the moniker suggests, it will be a less powerful phone compared to the F19 Pro, which offers users a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution and a regular refresh rate of 60Hz. It has a front camera of 16-megapixel and its rear camera system has a 48-megapixel main snapper, an 8-megapixel superwide sensor, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel depth helper.

The Helio P95 chips fuels the F19 Pro with 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM. It offers users other specs like a 128 GB UFS 2.1 storage, a microSD card slot, ColorOS 11 based Android 11 OS, a 4,310mAh battery with 30W fast charging, and an in-display fingerprint reader.

Recently, OPPO CPH2197 passed several certifications and it is said to be the OPPO A74 5G smartphone. Today, renders and specs of the device have been leaked and it looks similar to the upcoming OPPO F19 smartphone.

As reported by mobielkopen.net, the OPPO A74 will launch in 4G and 5G versions. Out of this, the 5G version is said to come in two colors- Fluid Black and Space Silver. And the 4G version will debut in Prism Black and Midnight Blue options.

Talking about the renders themselves, we see a triple-camera setup on the back. There is a 48MP AI Camera etched beside the sensors. The layout, colors are a lot similar to the OPPO F19 that was recently teased by OPPO India.

Yesterday, the company launched the OPPO F19 Pro series where it also revealed that a watered-down variant OPPO F19 would be launching soon. Its rear design had a similar shade and 48MP triple-camera layout like the OPPO A74 4G above. You can compare the images below:

Well, this is not the first time OPPO has rebadged a device. In fact, the company silently debuted the OPPO A73 as a rebadged version of the OPPO F17 in 2020. Hence, the successor in 2021, at least the 4G version, could be a rebadged version too. Do note that this is our early guess and hence, take it with a pinch of salt for now.

That said, you can take a look at the other renders of the OPPO A74 4G and OPPO A74 5G versions below:

1 of 4

As for specs, the report says that the OPPO A74 4G & 5G versions will measure 169.2 x 74.7 x 8.4 mm with a weigh 190 grams. This suggests that the device will be a bit thicker, heavier, and feature a bigger display(could be 6.8-inches) than the predecessor, OPPO A73 5G.

Further, both the variants will likely have storage up to 128GB. Other expected specs include a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support, ColorOS based on Android 10 on 4G model, and Android 11 OS on the 5G device. Let’s wait for more info in the coming days.

Update: Newer reports suggest that these specs could be incorrect. These specs may belong to a different upcoming OPPO phone for China. A newer report seems to talk more reliable information on the F19 and F19 Pro+ 5G smartphones.

Original story follows…

A recent leak revealed that OPPO’s F19 series includes a handset named OPPO F19 Pro and OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G. The lineup may also include a vanilla model named OPPO F19. A tipster has shared a few key pieces of information about the F19 Pro+ smartphone. It appears that it could be one of the first phones to arrive with the Dimensity 1200 chipset.

The said tipster shared screenshots of an upcoming OPPO phone that has a model number PEPM00. He claims that the device could be debuting as the OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G. The first screengrab shows that the handset supports a 90Hz refresh rate. The image also suggests that the device’s display could be featuring a punch-hole at the upper-left corner.

The second screengrab shows that the phone is fueled by the MediaTek MT6893. This chip is the 6nm Dimensity 1200 chip that debuted last month. The tipster claims that the device is equipped with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The other details of the phone are under wraps.

The tipster believes that the same device may arrive in different markets as the OPPO A94 5G and Reno 5A 5G. The A94 has been previously seen at the IMDA certification and China’s Quality Certification Center (CQC). The CQC listing revealed support for 30W fast charging.

OPPO introduced the OPPO Reno Ace as the first Ace branded smartphone in China in October 2019. The OPPO Ace2 arrived as its successor in April 2020. It appears that the Chinese firm is also working on an Ace series phone. The tipster claims that another OPPO phone with a PENM00 model number may debut as the OPPO Ace3. It could be powered by the Snapdragon 870 mobile platform.

In January, OPPO was tipped to launch the OPPO F19 series in February. But unfortunately, that still hasn’t happened. But earlier this month, another report revealed that these new devices will be rather debuting in March. Now, a few days later, we finally get the first look at two models in the series, thanks to a leaked poster.

The OPPO F19 series poster was shared by an OPPO Sales executive retailer to MySmartPrice. According to the source, the two devices in the image are OPPO F19 Pro and OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G respectively. These smartphones will be launching in India very soon.

As per the poster, the OPPO F19 series will include the following three handsets.

• OPPO F19
• OPPO F19 Pro
• OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G

As the name suggests, only the Pro+ model will support 5G connectivity. This particular phone is already listed on Google ARCore supported devices list.

Whereas, the second model in the picture, which is said to debut as OPPO F19 Pro is already official as OPPO Reno5 F. This handset is also expected to release as OPPO A94 in some regions.

As of now, we only know some specs of the OPPO F19 Pro. This smartphone will feature a 6.4-inch punch-hole AMOLED display, 48MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (monochrome) + 2MP (macro) quad-camera setup, 32MP selfie camera, ColorOS 11.1 based on Android 11, and 4,310mAh battery with support for 30W VOOC Flash Charge 4.0 proprietary fast charging protocol.

That said, we expect to learn more about the OPPO F19 series before its official announcement in the near future.

An early leak had claimed that OPPO will be launching the OPPO F19 series in India in February. However, it was recently revealed that the OPPO F19 lineup will debut in early March. Fresh information reveals that the series may include a third device named the OPPO F19 Pro+.

According to a recent report by My Smart Price, three monikers of upcoming OPPO phones have appeared in the Google ARCore supported devices list. As can be seen in the screengrab shared by the publication, the Find X3, Find X3 Pro, and F19 Pro+ are the monikers of three upcoming OPPO smartphones.

The F19 lineup is expected to debut in early March in India. However, it is unclear whether the company will be announcing the F19, F19 Pro, and F19 Pro+ smartphones at the same event. Unfortunately, there is no information available on the specifications of the next-generation F-series phones from OPPO.

The F19 series is rumored to arrive with a sleeker design as compared to the existing F17 models. Hopefully, the rumor mill will spill more information on the F19 lineup before its official announcement.

Recent reports have revealed that the Find X3 Pro will debut along with Find X3 Neo and Find X3 Lite phones in global markets in March. Leaks have not revealed specification information on the Find X3. Hence, it was not clear whether the company has plans to launch the Find X3. The appearance of the vanilla X3 at Google ARCore is a good hint that it may also go official in the near future. In related news, the company is also expected to launch the F21 lineup in the second half of the year.

The post OPPO F19 Pro+ moniker appears in Google ARCore supported device list appeared first on Gizmochina.

OPPO F-series has its own niche in the Indian market. The company launched the OPPO F17, and F17 Pro launched back in September 2020. While rumors of the successors are circling around, we have new information from 91Mobiles regarding the launch of OPPO F19, F19 Pro, and details of the F21 series.

According to the report, OPPO F19, F19 Pro would be the next F-series device from OPPO. Previously, a tip from XDA’s Tushar Mehta suggested that the series could either be named OPPO F19/F21 considering few companies like Samsung are doing it to match the launch year(2021).

However, the latest report claims the F19 and F21 to be two separate series and that the first one having OPPO F19, F19 Pro will launch next month, i.e, March 2021 and not this month. Usually, brands start teasing a new launch weeks before. And if the early March timeline is true, OPPO should start doing the same by mid/Late-February.

Talking about the devices, we have very few details regarding them. An older report from last year says that the devices will have a sleek design, glass back, and a different pattern on the rear.

To compare, the OPPO F17 Pro has a 7.48mm thickness, a Motorola Edge S-like camera layout, and a brushed rear-finish with light reflections originating from the cameras. Anyway, the report also says that the successor will come with a 10x lossless zoom camera feature.

Regarding the F21 series, the information is very bleak right now since the F19 itself is yet to debut. Plus, it is said to launch sometime in H2 2021, which even though is around Sep. 2021 as F17, is at least a few months away.

Nevertheless, Let’s wait for more leaks of OPPO F19, F19 Pro in the coming days.

OPPO announced the OPPO F17 and OPPO F17 Pro smartphones in September in India. In the same month, My Smart Price had claimed that the Chinese firm could be launching the OPPO F21 Pro around November in the country. It mentioned that the company will be skipping the F19 moniker. However, the F21 Pro did not debut last year. Fresh information shared by XDA Developers’ Tushar Mehta reveals that the OPPO F19 series will debut in February.

Mehta claims that OPPO will be launching its next F-series smartphones in February. He is unclear whether it will be called F19 or F21. Unfortunately, he did not share any information on the specs of the upcoming F-series phones.

I've learnt that OPPO will launch its next F series — most likely F19 and F19 Pro — in India next month i.e. in February 2021.

Given the irregular naming, this can also be called F21 instead but that's simply a hunch. #OPPO #OPPOF19Pro https://t.co/cg4n3ukmNa pic.twitter.com/gotOG1scL9

Since it is the year 2021, it is likely that the Chinese manufacturer may announce its next F-series phones as the OPPO F21 and OPPO F21 Pro. According to MSP’s report, the successor of the F17 series will be flaunting a sleeker design. The F21 Pro is likely to sport a glass back and its rear pattern will be different from the F17 Pro.

The F17 series came with 30W rapid charging support. Probably, the successor edition may offer users with faster charging solution.

At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017, OPPO had showcased a dual camera setup with 5x loseless zoom. Recently spotted patent documents have revealed that the Chinese smartphone manufacturer is now working on a 10x hybrid optical zoom technology camera. According to popular tipster Ice Universe, an OPPO official has confirmed that the company will be showcasing the 10x zoom camera tech at the MWC 2019 tech expo in Barcelona, Spain in February.

The patent sketches have revealed a dual camera setup with a flash unit. Unfortunately, the patent documents that explain the hybrid zoom technology are not available. OPPO that has six research institutes and four R&D across the globe is known for providing innovative features on its smartphone. The OPPO Find X that released this year is the world’s first smartphone to feature a slide-out assembly for the front and rear cameras.

The 5x loseless zoom technology that OPPO had demonstrated at MWC last year include a dual camera module with a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens. The latter is hidden in the camera module in an innovate periscope-like structure. It also includes a prism to divert the light to the telephoto lens for deeper zoom. OPPO’s 5x loseless zoom technology is yet to be commercialized.

Rumors are rife that the 10x zoom camera technology by OPPO will be first seen on the OPPO F19 and F19 Pro smartphones. The F19 duo could be fueled by Snapdragon 675 chipset and a notch-less screen. Probably, the F19 models may feature an in-screen camera hole display.
