We haven’t heard much about the Oppo F21 series in the last few months. However, a major leak that showed the F21 Pro+’s live images arrived recently confirming the design change over the predecessor. Now, the F21 Pro’s promo poster has been doing rounds on the Internet.

The promo poster(via Tech Boiler) of the Oppo F21 Pro gives us a look at the phone’s rear design. The smartphone looks identical to the Oppo Reno7 that launched earlier in Indonesia. The device has a clean Orange-colored back with the camera island at the top left.

Though the promo image is of low-resolution, we get to see the multiple camera sensors. It also seems to have the matte design as the Reno7’s Indonesia model.

Furthermore, the smartphone is marketed with the tagline “Fantastic Selfie”, revealing that its highlight will be the front-facing camera. Lastly, the promo poster is from Pakistan, which confirms that the device will debut soon in the region.

Other details of the Oppo F21 Pro are under wraps, but we do know that the series will also have the F21 Pro+ and the vanilla F21. Interestingly, a report from December 2021 revealed that the series will debut in India as well. It is said to launch between March 17 and March 21 in the country. The vanilla F21 and the F21 Pro will be 4G models, while the F21 Pro+ will be a 5G offering.

In India, the series is expected to arrive between Rs. 20,000(~$262) and Rs. 30,000(~$393).

Earlier this week, the OPPO F21 series was tipped to launch in India by the end of Q1 2022. Just a few days later, the rough launch date for the lineup has now emerged. Let’s take a look at when these smartphones will go official.

According to a report by 91Mobiles, the OPPO F21 series will include three models, namely OPPO F21, OPPO F21 Pro, and OPPO F21 Pro+. Previously, the publication suggested that there will be only a standard and a Pro model.

Further, the report says that two of these handsets will be launched in India between March 17 and March 21. This duo will be OPPO F21 and OPPO F21 Pro+. 

The latter will go on sale first, followed by the former a week later. Whereas, the OPPO F21 Pro will be released sometime later.

Unfortunately, nothing else is known about the OPPO F21 series, except that it could sport a better design than the OPPO Reno7 series. For those unaware, the OPPO F series is a family of fashion and lifestyle-focused smartphones, which are exclusive to India. Hence, it is not surprising to learn that they may have a better design than the more expensive phones.

This year’s OPPO F19 series also consists of three models. The base and mid variants are limited to 4G connectivity, while the top version can connect to 5G networks.

All three devices in the OPPO F21 series could arrive with 5G support, given the current market trend. They are expected to cost between ₹20,000 and ₹30,000.

The OPPO F21 series was reported to launch in the second half of 2021 ahead of Diwali festive season. Unfortunately, that never happened. Global semiconductor shortage could be the possible reason for this. Now, months later, a new report says that the next devices in the OPPO F series will release in Q1 2022.

According to industry sources of 91Mobiles, the OPPO F21 series will launch at the end of Q1 2022 in India. In other words, the lineup will make its debut in March 2022.

The sources say that the phones will look better than the recently unveiled OPPO Reno7 series. Further, the series is expected to include two models priced between ₹20,000 and ₹30,000 in India.

The current-gen OPPO F19 lineup launched in March 2021. OPPO only released two models first, namely OPPO F19 Pro and OPPO F19 Pro+. These devices were later followed by the vanilla OPPO F19 in April.

Only the Pro+ variant is 5G enabled, while the Pro and standard versions are limited to 4G connectivity. The regular model also got a special edition in the form of OPPO F19s before Diwali. However, it didn’t bring any feature upgrades.

Although the sources don’t say anything, we think that both the models in the upcoming OPPO F21 lineup should arrive with 5G connectivity, given the market trend.

The post OPPO F21 series India launch timeline tipped 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.

The post OPPO F19 and F21 series will separately launch in March and H2 2021 respectively: Report appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.
