It is not uncommon to see Chinese smartphones being rebranded across different markets in the world with a different model name to cater to the specific markets. The main Chinese tech conglomerates which practice this business tactic are respectively Xiaomi (with its sub-brands Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco) and the BBK Group (with its sub-brands Oppo, Realme, Narzo, OnePlus, Vivo and iQOO).

However, what if say the next-generation smartphone had the exact same specs as the last generation release? 

This may be a first for the industry, as the latest Oppo Reno 8 Z 5G released in Southeast Asia last month, has the exact same, fully identical specifications as the previous generation Oppo Reno 7 Z 5G which was also released in the Southeast Asia market as well. 

Don’t believe it? Here’s a comparison table for you to check the specs yourself.

As you can see here, the new Reno 8 Z has the same Snapdragon 695 5G SoC under the hood, the same 6.43” 60Hz screen with identical brightness specs, the same 4500 mAh battery, the same 33W SuperVOOC charging, the same triple camera setup, even the same 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM, and even the same 128GB of UFS 2.2 base storage.

The only difference between the two phones is just the back camera island, which has been extended to the plastic frame of the device. But even the camera placement on the module remains unchanged, and the phone has even gotten thicker and heavier at 181g (Oppo Reno 8 Z) compared to the 173g on the Oppo Reno 7 Z.

And the crazier fact, the Oppo Reno 7 Z (and Oppo Reno 8 Z) has been rebranded and re-released for many Asian and European markets in 2022 under many aliased names. Here is a quick rundown of what the device is named in other markets:

1. Oppo Reno 7 Z 5G – Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines), March 2022
2. Oppo F21 Pro 5G – India, April 2022
3. OnePlus Nord N20 5G – North America, April 2022
4. Oppo Reno 7 Lite – Europe, April 2022
5. Oppo Reno 8 Lite – Spain, June 2022
6. Oppo Reno 8 Z 5G – Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines), August 2022

Whether it be the chip shortage or the lack of competition in the space, it is unclear why innovation is stagnant for both Oppo and OnePlus smartphones in 2022. However, as smartphone consumers ourselves, we should be aware of the company’s practices and their device releases before purchasing a device. And this time around, the Oppo Reno 8 Z is literally just a previous generation smartphone repackaged in a new body to be sold.

The post Rant: Oppo’s Reno 8Z is the Exact Same as Last Generation’s Reno 7Z appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this month, Oppo unveiled the list of devices that will be getting the stable ColorOS 12 update in the month of July. And right on schedule, the brand has released the stable Android 12 build for the Oppo F21 Pro 5G, also known as the Oppo Reno7 Z 5G.

To receive the update, your Oppo F21 Pro 5G needs to be on at least the A.13/A.14 firmware version whereas the Reno7 Z 5G needs to be on the A.15 firmware version. As usual, the update will come in badges via OTA method. If you haven’t received the OTA update notification yet, you can manually check for it by navigating to  [Settings] – [Software Updates] and pressing on Detect the ColorOS 12 version and update.

Oppo has also pointed out some things to keep in mind before updating the devices-

1. Please backup important data on the phone before updating to avoid data loss caused by incompatibility or other unforeseen circumstances.

2. After updating to the latest version, the operating system will do several actions to optimize your device automatically. It might lead to your device heating, lagging, and fast battery draining. We recommend you turn off the screen and charge your device for a whole night after its updated success. Or keep using the device and it will become normal within a few days.

3. Some third-party applications are not compatible with Android 12. Therefore, updating these applications might not be available or have technical issues including lagging and crashing down on your device.

Users should be on the lookout for a tonne of new improvements and changes after installing the ColorOS 12 upgrade. A new wallpaper-based theming system, Screen Translate, Canvas AOD, Android 12’s Privacy Dashboard, and privacy indicators are just a few of the innovations included in the upgrade.

The post Oppo F21 Pro 5G/Reno7 Z 5G get Android 12 based ColorOS 12 update appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this month, Oppo revealed that it will be starting the Android 12 beta program for the Oppo F21 Pro 5G in India. As promised, the company has started recruiting testers. Let’s check out how you can enroll your device to try out the new software before the general public.

According to official announcement posts on Oppo Community, the Chinese handset maker opened Android 12 beta registrations for the Oppo F21 Pro 5G and the Oppo Reno 7 Z 5G on June 17. 

For the unaware, these two are basically the same phones with different names. The F series is sold in India, while the Reno Z series is available in Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia.

Per the plan, Oppo is supposed to open registrations on June 23. However, the firm has been recruiting testers six days ahead of schedule. The registration window will only close on June 24, and therefore, there’s still time for interested people to enroll in the program.

But the brand has only allocated 5000 seats each for F21 Pro 5G in India and Reno 7 Z 5G in Indonesia. In order to join the initiative, users will have to go to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Apply Beta Version > Update Beta version and follow the on-screen instructions.

Applicants who get selected will receive the Android 12 beta build via OTA update. As far as stable release is concerned, it should be out in a month or two. 

It is worth noting that the 4G variant of Oppo F21 Pro (aka Oppo Reno 7 4G), which was released alongside this phone actually boots Android 12-based ColorOS 12. But for some reason, the 5G model debuted with Android 11.

Anyway, we will update you once Oppo starts rolling out the Android 12 stable update for the Oppo F21 Pro 5G and Oppo Reno 7 5G in the near future.

Oppo is known for selling its F series phones under Reno Z and Reno Lite brandings in different markets. This year’s F21 Pro 5G is sold under Oneplus Nord N branding as well. Additionally, new renders have now leaked suggesting that the smartphone will also go by yet another Reno Lite device.

Twitter user @_snoopytech_ has shared renders of alleged Oppo Reno 8 Lite 5G, a handset that’s yet to go official. Going by the images, the phone looks the same as the Oppo Reno 7 Lite 5G, which is nothing but a rebranded Oppo F21 Pro 5G.

This very same smartphone is sold under two more names. It goes by the name of Oppo Reno 7 Z 5G and Oneplus Nord N20 5G.

If these renders are legit, then for the first time, Oppo would be releasing the same device as two generations of smartphones. We are as confused as you are. Probably, the Reno 8 Lite 5G will launch in the markets where the Reno 7 Lite 5G did not.

At present, it’s not known when this so-called Oppo Reno 8 Lite 5G will be made official. Anyway, we are looking forward to learning about its availability and price.

Recently, we reviewed the Indian version of this handset (Oppo F21 Pro 5G) by comparing it with Oppo F21 Pro (aka Oppo Reno 7 Lite). Do check it out to learn whether it is a good deal, at least in India.

The post Leak suggests Oppo Reno 8 Lite 5G could be same as Reno 7 Lite 5G aka F21 Pro 5G appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last week, Oppo officially took the wraps off the Oppo F21 Pro series in India. The lineup consists of two models, namely Oppo F21 Pro and Oppo F21 Pro. We have already published our review of the former device. 

Now, let us compare it to the latter model in this article and find out whether the 5G-enabled variant is worth its asking price. For the unaware, the Oppo F21 Pro and Oppo F21 Pro 5G are priced at ₹22,999 and ₹26,999 respectively.

Before I begin, I would like to put a disclaimer that his comparison between the Oppo F21 Pro and the Oppo F21 Pro 5G is based on my personal experience with the review samples loaned to me by Oppo India. The opinions mentioned here are mine alone, and the company had no editorial input or early look.

Oppo F21 Pro vs Oppo F21 Pro 5G: Which one should you buy?

Box Contents

Both the Oppo F21 Pro and Oppo F21 Pro 5G arrive in an identical box with the same list of contents. Buyers will find the following items in the retail box.

• Smartphone
• Transparent Case
• 33W SuperVOOC Charger
• USB Type-A to Type-C cable
• SIM Ejector Tool
• Documentation

Design and Build

In my review of the Oppo F21 Pro, I praised its design. It is one of the best-looking smartphones under ₹25,000. The same can also be said for the Oppo F21 Pro 5G, which is positioned in the under ₹30,000 category. However, I prefer the 4G model over 5G.

The 4G variant has a unique fiberglass leather finish on its back. But it is worth noting that this finish is only available on the Sunset Orange color option, since the Cosmic Black version has a matte glass finish.

On the other hand, the Oppo F21 Pro 5G only comes in a glass finish for both Rainbow Spectrum and Cosmic Black versions. I have the former, and it looks like cotton candy when viewed from certain angles. At the same time, the colors look flat when viewed straight.

The orange-colored Oppo F21 Pro also feels better in the hand. It does not slip and looks unlike any other phone on the market. It surely is a head-turner. You don’t need a case unless you are one of those who drop their handsets often.

Whereas, the Oppo F21 Pro 5G is like a regular smartphone with a glass back. This means it is slippery in the hands, but features a matte finish to keep it free of smudges.

Talking about the rear camera placement, the sensors on the 4G model are placed on a rectangular island, which resembles an old-school camcorder. There’s a white LED ring around one of the cameras.

While the cameras on the 5G model are placed on the rear panel itself. Two of them even have blue-colored LED rings. Oppo calls them ‘Orbit Lights’. They look better than the single LED ring on the 4G device.

Display and Sound

The Oppo F21 Pro and the Oppo F21 Pro 5G sport an identical 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+) and a 20:9 aspect ratio. The screen has a 180Hz touch sampling rate, a punch-hole at the top left corner, and can reach a peak brightness level of 600 nits.

The only difference between the two is the presence of a 90Hz refresh rate on the 4G model as opposed to the standard 60Hz refresh rate on the 5G model. This one change in the specs makes a day and night difference, at least to me. Once you are used to a high refresh rate screen on smartphones, there’s never going back.

As far as the performance of the screens is concerned, they are almost identical with one minor difference. The color tone is cooler on the 5G model and warmer on the 4G variant. They are good for consuming content and can get bright enough under direct sunlight. These displays are fine but nothing out of the ordinary.

Further, though they have support for HDR10 and HLG standards, they cannot play HDR videos on YouTube or any other streaming platform. However, both have Widevine L1 certification (which was not present on the 4G model when its review was published)  and are able to play FHD (1080p) content on Netflix and Prime Video.

Talking about sound, both the phones house a single bottom-firing speaker. But their audio output is slightly different from one another. I prefer the one on the 4G handset as it is not only louder but also sounds fuller with less distortion at higher volume levels.

As far as wireless sound performance is concerned, it is near identical on both of them. I paired the Oppo Enco Air 2 Pro with these phones, and they sounded the same when connected to either of them.

However, only the 4G model has support for ColorOS quick pairing. On the 5G model, users need to enter pairing mode as they need to for devices from other brands. It is possible for Oppo to add this feature via a software update, but we are not sure if and when it will arrive.

Hardware and Software

The major difference between the Oppo F21 Pro and the Oppo F21 Pro 5G is their chipsets. The former houses a 4G-only Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC, while the latter is powered by a 5G-enabled Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC. 

The two of them sport 8GB LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB UFS 2.2 storage. But only the 4G smartphone has a MicroSD card slot (dedicated).

Oppo F21 Pro Benchmark

Undoubtedly, the 5G model is faster as it has a better chip. But since it lacks a high refresh rate display, I felt the 4G model to be smoother to my eyes, though it is slower. 

As you can see from the screenshots, the F21 Pro 5G scores way more on AnTutu Benchmark. Even on Geekbench, it has a better score than the F21 Pro. Only if it had a 90Hz display, the experience would have been even better.

Oppo F21 Pro 5G Benchmark

On the software front, despite being cheaper with a less-powerful chip, the 4G handset boots ColorOS 12 based on Android 12. Whereas, the 5G variant comes with Android 11-based ColorOS 12.

The software on the two phones is almost identical, and they even come with the same bloatware, most of which is uninstallable. But the 5G version lacks new Android 12-exclusive features like granular location permission, camera/microphone indicator, and more.

Camera

The two phones have different camera systems. But one thing is common between them. Though they have triple cameras on the rear, only one of these sensors is useful, in addition to the front-facing camera.

The Oppo F21 Pro arrives with a 64MP primary camera, a 2MP snapper with a 15x microlens, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 32MP shooter for selfies. On the other hand, the Oppo F21 Pro 5G comes equipped with a 64MP primary camera, a 2MP macro shooter, a 2MP monochrome sensor, and a 16MP selfie camera.

Oppo F21 Pro Camera Samples

Despite featuring the same 64MP OmniVision OV64B sensor as their main camera, the output is different from these handsets. This is likely due to the presence of different ISPs and software processing.

The pictures from the 5G version have warmer color tones as opposed to cooler color tones in the images from the 4G variant. Further, the pictures from the latter phone are more vibrant due to higher saturation. None of them can produce accurate colors, but the images from the 4G handset are more pleasing to the eyes.

Oppo F21 Pro 5G Camera Samples

As mentioned in my review of the Oppo F21 Pro, human skin tones are almost accurate in the images from this smartphone. But the same cannot be said for the Oppo F21 Pro 5G since it’s totally opposite. Though I don’t like the selfies from either of these handsets, the output from the 4G model is better.

In low-light conditions, both of them cannot output good-quality pictures. Night Mode does not help either. As far as video recording is concerned, the devices are limited to 1080p resolution and the quality is acceptable in good lighting without much stabilization and is not recommended for low-light situations.

Connectivity

The connectivity options on the Oppo F21 Pro and the Oppo F21 Pro 5G are identical, except for the 5G support on the latter. They feature dual SIM card slots, dual-band WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, and GNSS. 

I did not face call drops on either of them. The WiFi connection works well as it should, and so do Bluetooth and GNSS.

I could not test 5G on the Oppo F21 Pro 5G as the networks are yet to go live in India. When they do go live, users should be able to experience the latest cellular technology, but the same cannot be said for the Oppo F21 Pro users.

Battery and Charging

Both the Oppo F21 Pro and the Oppo F21 Pro 5G are fueled by the same 4,500mAh battery. They also have support for the very same 33W Oppo SuperVOOC fast charging protocol.

But during my usage, I found out that the 5G device actually charges a bit faster. It is roughly around 8 minutes faster as it takes about 1 hour and 14 minutes to reach 100% from 10% as opposed to around 1 hour and 22 minutes required by the 4G handset.

Since the SoCs featured in these smartphones are built on a 6nm process, they are energy-efficient. The devices can easily last a day on a full charge on normal usage. 

Verdict

Even though the Oppo F21 Pro 5G has a faster chipset, it is not enough for me to recommend it over the Oppo F21 Pro. The 4G variant does most of the things better. It even looks unique in the orange color and feels better in the hands.

The cherry on top is that the 4G version is ₹4,000 cheaper than the 5G model. The price further paints a clear picture that the Oppo F21 Pro is truly the winner of the two.

With that being said, as I mentioned in my review, the Oppo F21 Pro itself is not the best option in this price segment. But if you are in the market for either of these two devices, you should probably go with the 4G model instead of the 5G one.

Last week, OPPO launched the F21 Pro series in India which consists of the F21 Pro 4G and the F21 Pro 5G models. The company opened sales of the 4G variant a couple of days after the launch. Now, the F21 Pro 5G has officially been made available for purchase in India.

Oppo F21 Pro 5G Indian price, availability & offers

The OPPO F21 Pro 5G is priced at Rs 26,999 (~$354) for the 8GB + 128GB variant. The device is offered in two color options namely Rainbow Spectrum and Cosmic Black and is available for purchase exclusively on Amazon India.

As a launch offer, OPPO is offering a Rs 2,500 (~$33) instant discount to customers making their purchase using bank cards from ICICI, HDFC and Bank of Baroda. There is even an option to bundle in the OPPO Enco M32 earbuds for a combo price of Rs 28,798 (~$377).

Oppo F21 Pro 5G specs & features

The F21 Pro 5G has a 6.43-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 2400 × 1080 pixel resolution and 600nits peak brightness. The panel offers a 60Hz refresh rate coupled with a 180Hz touch sampling rate. For the selfie shooter, the display comes with a punch hole on the top left corner.

At the heart of the device is a Snapdragon 695 SoC with Adreno 619 GPU on board. The SoC comes paired with 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. The handset boots ColorOS 12 out of the box and gets a 4,500mAh battery unit and 33W SuperVOOC fast charging support.

For photography, the F21 Pro 5G has a 64MP primary camera, a 2MP  monochrome sensor, and a 2MP macro camera. On the front, the device houses a 16MP snapper.

Other details and features of the smartphone include an in-display fingerprint scanner, a (hybrid) micro-SD card slot, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The device measures 159.9×73.2×7.5mm and weighs 173grams. For connectivity, it offers Dual-SIM, 5G, Dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, Glonass, and more.

Most of the people out there do not really need a flagship in order to get a perfect phone for their needs. Nowadays, top-tier flagships became very expensive, but you can get great mid-rangers and, if you are not an advanced user, maybe you won’t notice the difference. Among the latest good mid-rangers released by mainstream brands, there is the new Xiaomi 11i, which is totally different from the flagship killer Xiaomi 11i launched in 2021. But it has several rivals, especially in the Indian market. Two of the best are definitely the Realme 9 Pro Plus and the OPPO F21 Pro 5G, and this comparison will highlight the differences between the specifications of these three devices.

Xiaomi 11i vs Realme 9 Pro+ vs OPPO F21 Pro 5G

Design

The OPPO F21 Pro 5G has the most attractive design. It comes with great flat borders, a thinner and lighter body, and two amazing RGB LED rings around the rear cameras which can be used as notification LEDs. Last but not least, it comes with the IPX4 certification making it splash resistant. The Realme 9 Pro Plus is another great phone in terms of design because it comes with a color-changing back: the Sunrise Blue color variant is able to change its colors in a few seconds if placed under the sunlight. The Xiaomi 11i does not shine in terms of design.

Display

On the paper, the most advanced display belongs to the Xiaomi 11i. It has an AMOLED panel with a wider diagonal of 6.67 inches, a Full HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10 certification, and a peak brightness up to 1200 nits. Right after, we got the Realme 9 Pro Plus with a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED panel sporting a 90 Hz refresh rate and an in-display fingerprint reader which doubles as a heart rate sensor. The OPPO F21 Pro 5G is less impressive because it has a standard refresh rate and it lacks the HDR certification.

Specs & Software

If you need the best performance, then you should go either for the Xiaomi 11i or the Realme 9 Pro Plus. They are powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 920 5G mobile platform running at a max frequency of 2.5 GHz and paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. We did not recommend the OPPO F21 Pro 5G because it has a lower-end Snapdragon 695 5G mobile platform and just 128 GB of internal storage. The Realme 9 Pro Plus and the OPPO F21 Pro 5G run Android 12 out of the box, while the Xiaomi 11i still comes with Android 11.

Camera

The best camera phone is the Realme 9 Pro Plus thanks to its main sensor: a 50 MP Sony IMX766 with a 50 MP resolution and OIS. The silver medal goes to the 108 MP main camera of the Xiaomi 11i.

Battery

The Xiaomi 11i offers the longest battery life simply because it has a bigger battery. Further, it features a faster charging technology with a power of 65W.

Price

Xiaomi 11i starts from Rs. 24,300 or $295, you need Rs. 26,999 / $327 to purchase the OPPO F21 Pro 5G, and the Realme 9 Pro Plus starts from Rs. 25,099 / $304. The Xiaomi 11i comes with a better display and bigger battery, the Realme 9 Pro Plus packs a better camera, and the OPPO F21 Pro 5G comes with the best design but inferior specifications. Which one would you pick?

The post Xiaomi 11i vs Realme 9 Pro+ vs OPPO F21 Pro 5G: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

The OPPO F21 Pro series went official in India and the most advanced variant is the OPPO F21 Pro 5G, also known as the Reno7 Z 5G in certain Asian countries, while in Central and Eastern Europe it has just made its debut under the Reno7 Lite moniker. This handset is definitely a perfect rival for the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G: the latest OnePlus mid-ranger which is actually available in the global market. Given that they belong to the same price range and they are pretty similar in terms of specifications, a lot of people want to know which device offers the best value for money. We hope that this comparison between OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G and OPPO F21 Pro 5G will help you to find it out.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G vs OPPO F21 Pro 5G

Design

I think that there is no challenge: the design of the OPPO F21 Pro 5G is more attractive. First of all, it is a thinner and lighter phone. Further, it has elegant flat borders around its punch-hole display. Last but not least, it comes with two RGB ring lights around the cameras that can be used as notification LEDs and charging progress indicators. The handset also comes with the IPX4 certification which makes it splash resistant. The design of the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is beautiful and original, but less impressive. The phone is thicker and heavier, but its front glass is protected by Gorilla Glass 5, so it should be more resistant.

Display

Both these phones are equipped with good AMOLED displays which are able to show brilliant colors as well as deep blacks. The diagonals of these displays are exactly the same: 6.43 inches, with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. The display of the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G wins the comparison because it comes with a higher 90 Hz refresh rate and it sports the HDR10+ certification improving the image quality on streaming platforms. Last but not least, it has an in-display fingerprint reader, while the fingerprint reader of the OPPO F21 Pro 5G is side-mounted. The speakers are mono, but these phones are equipped with an audio jack.

Specs & Software

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 mobile platform found on the OPPO F21 Pro 5G and the MediaTek Dimensity 900 chipset found on the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G are very close in terms of performance, but according to the benchmarks, the Dimensity 900 should be slightly more powerful. Given that the memory configurations are the same, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G wins the hardware comparison. But you should note an important design: this handset ships with Android 11, while its rival runs Android 12 customized by ColorOS 12 out of the box. So the OPPO F21 Pro 5G may get longer software support.

Camera

These phones are both equipped with the same 64 MP main camera, but the OPPO F21 Pro 5G has a brighter focal aperture which should allow for capturing brighter photos in the dark. On the other hand, unlike its opponent, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G adds an 8 MP ultrawide camera which is definitely more important than a brighter focal aperture for the main camera, at least if you need more versatility.

Battery

These two phones are equipped with a 4500 mAh battery and, given that the specifications are similar and the processors are built with the same production process, the battery life should be similar. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G charges quicker thanks to 65W fast charging.

Price

The starting price of the OPPO F21 Pro 5G in India is Rs. 26,999, which roughly translates into $354, while the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G starts from Rs. 23,999 or $314. On the paper, the OnePlus mid-ranger looks superior because it has a better chipset, a 90 Hz display with the HDR10+ certification, an ultrawide camera, and 65W fast charging. Which one would you pick?

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G vs OPPO F21 Pro 5G: PRO and CONS

PRO

• Higher refresh rate
• Ultrawide camera
• 65W fast charging
• Gorilla Glass 5

The F21 Pro series just went official for the Indian market and it is composed of two models: the 4G variant and the 5G variant. The OPPO F21 Pro 5G belongs to the midrange segment and it is a perfect rival for the latest mid-ranger from Xiaomi’s sub-brand: the Redmi Note 11 Pro+. Each of these two handsets has its pro and cons, but which one is the best? A lot of people are asking themselves which one to buy and it may be not easy for everyone to find out. This comparison between the specifications of the Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus and the OPPO F21 Pro 5G will hopefully help you by highlighting the differences between these two phones.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro+ vs OPPO F21 Pro 5G

Design

The OPPO F21 Pro 5G has a very attractive design, just like most of the OPPO phones out there. First of all, it is very thin and lightweight: its thickness is just 7.5 mm and it weighs just 173 grams. Further, it has an elegant look and two outstanding RGB ring lights around the rear cameras which can be used as notification LEDs. Last but not least, it is more compact than its rival. The Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus provides better protection against dust and water thanks to the IP53 certification, but it is a bigger phone and uglier than the OPPO F21 Pro 5G, even though it comes with a glass back.

Display

If your goal is to get the most advanced display, then your best choice is the Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus. First of all, it has a wider panel with a diagonal of 6.67 inches. Further, this Super AMOLED panel sporting a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels has a higher 120 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10 certification, as well as a higher brightness reaching up to 1200 nits at its peak. The OPPO F21 Pro 5G has an AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution as well, but it lacks a high refresh rate and the HDR10 certification, so its image quality should be less impressive. Both the phones have a side-mounted fingerprint reader and the OPPO F21 Pro 5G, as mentioned above, adds two RGB ring lights around the cameras which can be used as notification LEDs.

Specs & Software

The MediaTek Dimensity 920 5G mobile platform found on the Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus is superior to the Snapdragon 695 5G chipset found on the OPPO F21 Pro 5G. That is why the Xiaomi mid-ranger wins the hardware comparison. Further, the Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus provides a higher amount of internal storage in its most advanced configuration: up to 256 GB instead of just 128 GB. On the other hand, the OPPO F21 Pro 5G runs a more recent Android version: it has Android 12 customized by ColorOS 12, while the Redmi device ships with Android 11.

Camera

The Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus is equipped with a superior camera setup. It has a 108 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP macro camera, as well as a 16 MP selfie snapper. The OPPO F21 Pro 5G comes with an inferior 64 MP main camera and it lacks an ultrawide sensor, which gets replaced by a useless depth sensor.

Battery

The OPPO F21 Pro 5G and the Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus are equipped with 4500 mAh batteries, but the OPPO F21 Pro 5G should be able to provide a longer battery life because it has a smaller and more efficient display. The Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus charges quicker thanks to 120W fast charging.

Price

The Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus sells for Rs. 20,999 / $275 in the Indian market, while you need Rs. 26,999 / $355 to purchase the OPPO F21 Pro 5G. With the actual prices, the Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus wins the comparison thanks to a better display, superior camera, better chipset, and faster charging.

The post Redmi Note 11 Pro+ vs OPPO F21 Pro 5G: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Just yesterday (13th April 2022), Oppo announced its F21 Pro series of smartphones in India. This lineup consists of two models, namely the F21 Pro 5G and the F21 Pro 4G. But despite having similar names, they both feature some differences in design and color, so let’s take a look.

Talking about the 5G model first, the Chinese smartphone maker’s F21 Pro 5G is basically a rebranded model of the Reno7 Pro 5G and one of its key aspects in design is the Dual Orbit Lights, which highlight notifications through LED lighting. For color options, it comes in either a Rainbow Spectrum or Cosmic Black. While both versions of the F21 Pro 5G feature a rear glass panel, there is some slight difference between the two.

Depending on the angle at which the light hits the rear panel, the F21 Pro 5G’s Rainbow Spectrum model reflects different colors. So as the name suggests, you might see hues of different colors over the predominantly sky blue base. On the other hand, the F21 Pro 4G also has a Black model that features a glass rear panel, but the Orange variant is definitely the most unique out of the entire series.

Unlike the rest, the F21 Pro 4G’s Orange variant features fibreglass leather finish. In other words, it comes with an artificial leather finish that feels and looks quite premium. The hand feel of this version is quite good (You can check out our review of this model), so one would be tempted to use it without a cover. The F21 Pro 4G is also a rebranded Reno7 Pro 4G, so its camera setup is slightly different from its 5G enabled sibling but it still offers the Orbit Light effect. It is clear that the company placed an emphasis on the design and aesthetics of the series, so this variant easily takes the cake in terms of overall appeal.

Oppo has just launched its highly anticipated F21 Pro series in India. The lineup includes two models, which are the F21 Pro 5G and F21 Pro 4G. Both models are quite similar in many ways but with some key differences. So let’s find out.

Design & Display

Both the F21 Pro series is basically rebranded versions of the Reno7 Pro series. So the 4G version resembles the Reno7 Pro 4G (only available in some markets), while the 5G model is identical to the Reno7 Pro 5G. The F21 Pro 5G and 4G feature a triple camera setup on the rear, on a rectangular module that has a slightly different design and layout. Meanwhile, the front features the same sized 6.43 inch display. Although, the panels aren’t identical and come with certain different specifications.

The 5G version comes with a Full HD+ AMOLED display that only offers a 60Hz refresh rate, meanwhile, the 4G variant offers a higher 90Hz refresh rate. Notably, both models also come with the industry’s first fibreglass leather design that adds to their premium feel and look. Furthermore, the 4G variant features orbit light around the module that highlights notifications. On the other hand, the 5G model comes with dual orbit light that illuminates two of the rear image sensors.

Specifications

Under the hood, both F21 Pro models are equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. However, the 4G only version comes with the Snapdragon 680 SoC, while the 5G model features the Snapdragon 695 SoC. Both phones also come with 8GB of RAM that can be virtually expanded by up to another 5GB. For storage, the 4G and 5G F21 Pro offer 128GB. A large 4,500mAh battery pack powers both models and it also supports up to 33W fast charging as well.

Software

The F21 Pro series runs on ColorOS 12 out of the box, which is based on Android 11 OS. Oppo also placed an emphasis on user friendliness and privacy with the UI, which features anti peeping notification feature. This basically hides notifications if your phone detects someone else looking at your smartphone’s screen. IT also supports Ar Gestures to answer or mute calls.

Camera

The F21 Pro 5G arrives with a triple camera setup on the rear, which consists of a 64 megapixel primary camera, a 2 megapixel macro lens, and another 2 megapixel depth sensor. On the front, it has a 16 megapixel punch hole camera for selfies. Meanwhile, the F21 Pro 4G is also equipped with a 64 megapixel primary camera, paired with a 2 megapixel micro lens, and a 2 megapixel depth sensor.

However, its front camera stands out, as it is a 32 megapixel IMX709 RGBW selfie sensor. This camera is 60 percent more sensitive to light when compared to the previous generation and also reduces noise levels by 35 percent as well.

Pricing & Availability

The Oppo F21 Pro 5G is available in India in a single storage configuration and is priced at 26,999 INR (roughly 355 US Dollars).
