Last week, OPPO had announced is software acceleration engine called Hyper Boost for significantly improving the performance its smartphones. Hyper Boost is all about optimizing the device’s performance in three areas namely, system, games and apps. The OPPO R17 and R17 Pro were confirmed as the first devices to receive Hyper Boost through a software update. Today, the Chinese manufacturer has confirmed a list of OPPO phones that will be upgraded to Hyper Boost through the latest ColorOS 5.2.1 update.

The OPPO Find X is scheduled to receive the Hyper Boost engine in this month. In November, the Chinese manufacturer will be making it available to devices like OPPO R11, R11 Plus, R11s, R11s Plus, A83 and A1.

In December, the OPPO R9s, R17, R15, R15 Dream Mirror Edition, A5, A79 and A73 will be getting the Hyper Boost engine through ColorOS 5.2.1 update. In January 2019, OPPO will be releasing the update for OPPO R9s Plus, A77 and A3.

Hyper Boost is OPPO’s version of GPU Turbo technology that is available on Huawei and Honor smartphones. Hyper Boost’s Behavior Aware Scheduling (BAS) feature can arrange the frequency of hardware in 0.2 milliseconds on a smartphone against Linux kernel of Android that adjusts hardware frequency in 20 milliseconds. This will allow the company to significantly boost the system performance on the aforementioned devices. The Chinese manufacturer had also claimed that Hyper Boost powered devices will offer up to 31.9 percent shorter loading times.

For optimized gaming experience on OPPO phones, the company has teamed up with Tencent, Netease, Unreal, Unity and others to ensure lag-free gaming on the top 100 mobile games. OPPO will be working on improving the Hyper Boost engine by adding AI features to it.

OPPO officially held a ceremony in China where it officially unveiled the OPPO R15 premium midranger. The smartphone will go on sale on April 1 in China. The OPPO R15 comes pre-instaled with Color OS5.0 which is based on Android Oreo.

Now, older OPPO  models like the R11s and R11s Plus will soon have the opportunity of running Android Oreo-based Color OS 5.0. Presently, OPPO has officially started pushing Color OS 5.0 public beta update to OPPO R11s and R11s Plus users. Adaptability of the new custom ROM on the R11s shouldn’t be difficult as both models equally come with a full-screen design except for the notch design which highlights the R15’s display.

The OPPO R11 and R11 Plus smartphones that were introduced in June last year are the first smartphones to be driven by Snapdragon 660. Rumors are rife that Qualcomm will soon announce the Snapdragon 670 as the successor edition of Snapdragon 660. Since two new OPPO phones rumored as OPPO R13 and R13 Plus have received 3C certification in China, it is speculated that the OPPO R13 duo could be the first Snapdragon 670 chipset driven smartphones.

OPPO phones with model numbers PAAT00 and PAAM00 have recently appeared on China’s 3C certification website. Apart from support for 20W fast charging, nothing else have been disclosed about these OPPO phones through their 3C listing.

VOOC is a fast charging technology by OPPO that offers 20W fast charging. Currently, only the R-series of smartphones from OPPO are available with 20W VOOC charging feature. Hence, it is speculated that the PAAT00 and PAAM00 could be the upcoming OPPO R13 and OPPO R13 Plus smartphones. Since the Snapdragon 660 chipset had powered the OPPO R11 duo, the Snapdragon 670 may fuel the upcoming OPPO R13 and R13 Plus smartphones.

Plenty of information of the unannounced Snapdragon 670 chipset have already surfaced. Rumors have revealed that the SD670 is a chipset that is designed to power upper mid-range smartphones. It is built with 10nm FinFET process like the Snapdragon 845 and Exynos 9810 SoCs that are designed to power flagship phones.

The Snapdragon 670 includes six cores of Kryo 300 Silver and two cores of Kryo 300 Gold along with Adreno 615 graphics. It has been spotted on Geekbench 1863 single-core and 5256 multi-core benchmark scores.

Oppo, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer which has also found a place in the world’s top five smartphone brands, has now expanded its operations to Japan. The company has forayed in the Japanese market with the launch of its flagship phone — Oppo R11s.

Apart from Japan, the China-based company is also looking to expand its global footprints. For that, Oppo is planning to roll out operations in the Europen market.

According to Deng Yuchen, chief of Japanese operations for Oppo, the company is currently in discussions with NTT Docomo Inc, KDDI Corp, and SoftBank Group Corp for its portfolio. He further adds that the company is making progress with two of those network operators. The Chinese phone maker is also in talks with MVNOs such as Y!mobile and Rakuten Mobile.

Commenting on expanding the Oppo brand to Japan, Deng Yuchen said:

Operating in such a demanding market can enhance our own strength and serve as valuable experience for us to tackle untapped European and US markets in the future. Success in the Japanese market will be an endorsement for our brand.

In a recent interview, Deng Yuchen has revealed that the company is planning to hire around 700 to 800 employees in Japan in the next two years for engineering, marketing, and sales positions. There’s a possibility that Oppo may also open a retail flagship store in Tokyo in the future.

Oppo, which was founded in 2004, is one the leading smartphone brand in China and currently sells its devices in about 30 markets, including Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, India, and Indonesia, among others.

The Oppo R11s, with which the company is foraying in the Japan market, features a 6.01-inch Full HD+ display with a screen resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels and an aspect ratio of 18:9. The phone is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 660 processor.

In Japan, the phone will be offered with 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Recently, the company had launched the 6GB RAM variant with 128GB onboard storage, but the 6GB RAM model remains China-exclusive.

Coming to the camera department, the rear camera features a combination of a 20-megapixel camera sensor with f/1.7 aperture and a 16-megapixel camera sensor with f/1.7 aperture. On the front side, there is a 20-megapixel camera sensor which comes with Artificial Intelligence (AI) features that support more than 200 facial enhancements, scene detection, and portrait mode.

The phone is running Color OS 3.2 and comes with Android 7.1.2 Nougat operating system out-of-the-box. Oppo has recently rolled out Android 8.1 Oreo update to the device in China. The Oppo R11s is fueled by a 3,205mAh battery, which supports company’s own VOOC fast charging technology.

Premium midrange smartphones are a new category of smartphones which is making great success in the past couple of years, especially in Asia. They are not flagships, but they usually have high-end features and good cameras. HTC U11 Eyes and Oppo R11s are two of them, and in this HTC U11 Eyes vs OPPO R11S comparison we will show you the difference between these handsets and which one has the best value for money — after all VFM is the most important thing when it comes to mid-range Android devices.

HTC U11 Eyes vs OPPO R11S

Don’t expect completely different devices, these two phones are similar enough to make this comparison challenging. We like the design and the build quality of HTC U11 EYEs better, which is more beautiful and it is also waterproof, unlike its opponent. On the other hand, in terms of display and hardware Oppo R11s is better. It has a very nice AMOLED display and a more powerful SoC. The Snapdragon 660 is a more recent, powerful and efficient chipset compared with the Snapdragon 652. The camera departments are both really good and, until we see some camera samples of HTC U11 EYEs, we can not judge the handset’s camera (it has just been unveiled, so it is still not possible to see how it captures photos).

Even though HTC U11 EYEs has a dual selfie camera, Oppo R11s should make better selfies with its 20 MP resolution and its f/2.0 aperture. Both the devices feature facial recognition through the front camera, but HTC U11 EYEs might be safer thanks to its secondary sensor. HTC U11 EYEs should have a much longer battery life due to its 3930 mAh lithium unit, while its opponent has just an average battery with a 3200 mAh capacity. While HTC U11 EYEs has just been made available to pre-order with a price of about €500, Oppo R11s has a listing price of about €450. I would personally pick the HTC U11 EYEs because of its bigger battery, its more interesting build quality, IP67 certification, and Android Oreo installed out of the box.

While most smartphone manufacturers are working on to roll out Android 8.0 Oreo update to their devices, Oppo has now started rolling out Android 8.1 Oreo update to the Oppo R11s  — the company’s flagship smartphone which was launched a couple of months ago.

Along with the Android 8.1 Oreo, the update for the Oppo R11s also brings a bunch of new features to the device. One of the major highlights of the update is that it brings support for the Dual SIM and Dual VoLTE feature.

Another major update is the addition of a new photo album named “Memories”. It intelligently recognises important events, trips, as well as people in the photos and videos and arranges them accordingly. There is also support for editing and sharing the media files.

It also adds some fitness related to functions, such as pedometer which counts steps taken and distance travelled, helping users in their daily exercise schedule. The weather application has also been updated. It now automatically identifies the location to provide weather information. It also displays information related to air quality index, fog and haze.

The Oppo R11s features a 6.01-inch Full HD+ display with a screen resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels and an aspect ratio of 18:9. The phone is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 660 processor. With the recently introduced 6GB RAM model, the phone is now available in two models — one with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage while the other one with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

Coming to the camera department, the rear camera features a combination of a 20-megapixel camera sensor with f/1.7 aperture and a 16-megapixel camera sensor with f/1.7 aperture. On the front side, there is a 20-megapixel camera sensor which comes with Artificial Intelligence (AI) features that support more than 200 facial enhancements, scene detection, and portrait mode.

By launching the Samsung Galaxy A8, the Korean giant has reinvented its midrange series of phones, even in Europe. It released a device which is not costly like the main flagships, but it is still a great high-end model with advanced performances. Oppo R11s is actually the best phone launched by Oppo together with its Plus version, and it belongs to the same genre of phones: high-ends at an affordable price. Let’s see which is better with a Samsung Galaxy A8 vs Oppo R11s comparison.

Samsung Galaxy A8 vs Oppo R11s

Samsung Galaxy A8 surely has better aesthetics. Oppo R11s is a simple full metal unibody phone, while Samsung Galaxy A8 is made of metal for the frame and glass for the back cover, and it is also IP68 certified. This means that the handset is waterproof just like Samsung Galaxy S8: you can put it underwater up to 1.5 meters deep, for 30 minutes at max. Samsung Galaxy A8 is a more compact phone, but it also has a smaller display: a 5.6-inch panel against the 6 inches of Oppo R11s. Both are AMOLED displays and they will probably offer a similar viewing quality, but A8 has slightly more pixels due to the 18.5:9 aspect ratio.

On the other hand, we think that Oppo R11s may offer better performances and will be more efficient thanks to its Snapdragon 660 SoC which has proved to have incredible performance. It is still impossible to compare the cameras as there are no samples shot by the A8, but we can predict an awesome challenge as these handsets are two excellent camera phones. The batteries have the same capacity, so the battery life will not differ so much. At last, while Samsung Galaxy A8 has a dedicated slot for micro SD, Oppo R11s has a hybrid dual SIM slot.

The Samsung Galaxy A8 is coming to Europe with a price of 500 euros (589 dollars) for the base variant with 3 GB of RAM, while Oppo R11s is available in Asia only with a price of 420 euros (500 dollars). Samsung Galaxy A8 appears slightly better, while Oppo R11s has a higher value for money. Both the handsets are a great choice.

Oppo is following its trend to commemorate new year with a New Year Anniversary Edition smartphone. Just like it did with Oppo R9S last year, this time, the company has launched Oppo R11S New Year Anniversary Edition.

The Oppo R11S New Year Anniversary Edition comes in Red colour with a gold-coloured border surrounding the camera module at the back of the phone. Along with that, the company’s branding is also in gold colour.

Apart from those minor changes in the phone’s design, everything else, including specifications of the phone, remains same.

The smartphone features a 6.01-inch Full HD+ display with screen resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels and aspect ratio of 18:9. Under the hood, it is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 660 processor, coupled with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.

As for the camera, the device comes with a dual rear camera setup, featuring a 20-megapixel sensor with f/1.7 aperture and a 16-megapixel sensor with f/1.7 aperture. There is also a 20-megapixel front-facing camera sensor which comes with AI features that adds some new tricks, along with the AI Beauty mode which has 200 facial enhancements, scene detection, and portrait mode.

The OPPO R11s is fuelled by a 3,205mAh battery which also supports the company’s own VOOC fast charging technology. It comes with the new Color OS 3.2, which is based on Android 7.1.2 Nougat operating system.

Recently, the company had launched 6GB RAM variant of the phone, which is priced at 3,599 Yuan (approx. $545) and is available in only one colour – Champagne Gold.

While the company has announced this new Oppo R11S New Year Anniversary Edition smartphone, the pricing and availability information has not been revealed yet. We expect the phone to go on sale by the end of this month, just in time to welcome the new year.

The post Oppo R11S New Year Anniversary Edition Launched appeared first on Gizmochina.

Today, China-based smartphone manufacturer Oppo has quietly launched a new variant of its flagship Oppo R11S smartphone. The new variant of the smartphone comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage. However, the phone will be available in only one colour – Champagne Gold.

The 6GB RAM model of the Oppo R11S is priced at 3,599 Yuan (approx. $545), which is 600 Yuan (approx. $91) more than the standard variant, which is priced at 2,999 Yuan (approx. $454).

Unlike this 6GB RAM model, the standard variant of the smartphone is available in three colour options — Black and Champagne (Gold) and Red. The Oppo R11S was originally launched in October this year, along with the Oppo R11S Plus.

The smartphone comes with a 6.01-inch Full HD+ display with a screen resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels and an aspect ratio of 18:9. Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 660 processor.

With the launch of this new variant, the smartphone is now available in two models — one with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage and another one with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

As of the camera department, the rear camera features a combination of a 20-megapixel f/1.7 camera sensor and a 16-megapixel f/1.7 camera sensor. On the front, there is a 20-megapixel camera sensor which comes with Artificial Intelligence (AI) features that add some few tricks. It supports more than 200 facial enhancements, scene detection, and portrait mode.

OnePlus 5T has finally been announced and now, at last, we can establish its awesomeness. It is definitely one of the best Android phones for quality-price ratio, and according to us, it is also in the podium of the best Chinese phones released until now. Another one of the best premium Chinese handsets for the quality-price ratio is the new Oppo R11s, released by the same Chinese giant which owns OnePlus: BBK. For this reason and also for the fact that they are aesthetically similar, we can define these two devices as “twins”. But there are some hidden differences between them, and in this comparison, we will help you to understand which one fits your needs the most.

OnePlus 5T vs Oppo R11s: Design

Aesthetically, these phones are nearly identical. There are just some small differences that, in our opinion, do not have any importance.

Both OnePlus 5T and Oppo R11s have a full metal unibody design and they have been announced in various anodized hues. The antenna bands are positioned on the borders for a better look, but the rear side the design of these handsets is nothing new and it looks similar to many devices launched in the last year. There is something better on the front side, as these phones have a full bezel-less display with a very high screen-to-body ratio. It makes the phone be compact even though the display is huge. But the presence of the borderless screen does not mean that the phones are unique. Indeed, the front panel is similar to the one we saw on Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+. To be honest, some may say, it is even less attractive.

But it is not a bad design and in both cases, they are very thin and nice to hold. Also, they have a solid build quality and their display is protected by Gorilla Glass 5, the sturdiest protection ever made for a display of a mobile phone. Unluckily, the fingerprint reader is on the back on both phones, and it is not so comfortable to use.

If you force us to pick a winner, we would choose Oppo R11s because it is smaller (156.1 x 75 x 7.3mm for OP5T vs 155.1 x 75.5 x 7.1 mm for R11s), thinner and more lightweight (162 g vs 153 g).

OnePlus 5T vs Oppo R11s: Display

The display is similar as well on these two phones, so it is very hard to pick a winner and you will hardly notice the difference.

These devices sport a 6.01-inch AMOLED panel. The one from OnePlus 5T is called Optic AMOLED panel and it has a Full HD+ resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels. It also has an 18:9 aspect ratio, as you may have already guessed. This panel can offer very vivid colors and deep blacks, as well as a good level of detail. But its detail is not at the same level of the most expensive flagships which are actually in the market. Thanks to this display we get an 80.5% screen-to-body ratio, that is impressive.

Oppo R11s has an AMOLED display and it has a Full HD+ resolution as well, with 1080 x 2160 pixels. But this display is not an “Optic” AMOLED panel, even though we still do not know whether this stands for a noticeable difference in the viewing experience or it is just marketing. Anyways, the color reproduction is pretty nice on this phone too, and the Full HD+ resolution is nice for a device with its price tag (it has a lower price than OP5T and it is not a real powerful flagship as you will see in the next paragraph). We think the display from OP5T will be slightly better because of the company’s intense optimizations, but we can not say it for sure, at least until we test it.

OnePlus 5T vs Oppo R11s: Hardware

The differences between these two devices in terms of hardware is very big: in short, we are talking about a flagship versus a upper mid-range phone.

OnePlus 5T has the best SoC that you can see in the Android market: an octa-core Snapdragon 835 with a max frequency of 2.45 GHz. In the cheapest variant there is 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, while the most expensive one has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB ROM. In both cases there is no micro SD slot, so you will not be able to expand the memory. But the phone is still dual SIM (dual stand by) This phone is one of the best in terms of performances, it is incredibly fast and smooth. OnePlus managed to provide the best software optimization according to AnTuTu, as its predecessor OP5 is actually the best Android phone on benchmarks.

Oppo R11s has an octa-core Snapdragon 660 SoC that can run at a max frequency of 2.2 GHz, paired with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. In this case, you can expand the memory through a micro SD and you can reach up to 256 GB. The micro SD uses the secondary SIM tray, so if you expand the memory you will lose the secondary SIM slot. The micro SD slot is an advantage over its opponent, but it is totally obscured by the SoC. This phone has a mid-range processor that is never able to provide similar performances to the ones of the Snapdragon 835. It is still a great SoC, the best from the mid-range segment, but its speed and its graphics card is not comparable to the one inside the Snapdragon 835. Also, on Oppo R11s there is less RAM, and this means that you will be able to open a lower number of apps at the same time without experiencing lags, reloads or other limits in performances.

OnePlus 5T wins the hardware comparison as it performs way better than its opponent.

OnePlus 5T vs Oppo R11s: Software

OnePlus 5T and Oppo R11s have a different user interface, but both UIs are based on the same Android version.

The new OnePlus flagship has OxygenOS installed, 4.7 version based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat. There are important new features brought by OnePlus in this new version of its user interface. If you buy it, you will find a new Gallery app which will make you search for photos basing on the place in which you shot them. There is a Parallel Apps feature to clone applications, and you will also find a new Face Unlock feature that is able to unlock. This feature will make you unlock your phone with facial recognition in less than a half second.

Oppo R11s has Color OS, which offers similar features and it is also based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat. It has a smart gallery app as well as facial recognition. Unlike on the OP5T, here facial recognition can also be used to shoot selfies together with AI. Thanks to it, the phone can recognize and highlight certain parts of your face to make it beautiful. Anyways, we think OnePlus 5T has a better software, with a better optimization, and it may also be supported in a more immediate way. The company has already confirmed that the phone, together with OP5, will officially be updated to Android Oreo before the end of the year (beta).

OnePlus 5T vs Oppo R11s: Camera

At least on the paper, the cameras from both these handsets are very similar. You will get a great camera phone by buying each of them, but the differences are present.

OnePlus 5T has a dual camera setup on its back, with resolutions of 20 + 16 MP and f/1.7 aperture. The secondary camera aperture on the OP5T is f/1.7 as well (unlike OP5 which had a f/2.6 aperture): the secondary sensor is a special low light shooter that will help the device to solve the most important problem present in Chinese phones: making photos in low light conditions better. Unfortunately, there is no OIS, just like on the OP5, but there is EIS for basic stabilization. Videos can be recorded with resolutions up to 2K (2160 fps) and Full HD at 60 fps is supported as well. The front camera is the same as the OP5, it has a 16 MP resolution (f/2.0) and it is stabilized (EIS).

Oppo R11s has a dual camera with exactly the same resolution and aperture as its opponent: 16 + 20 MP f/1.7. But it is not as efficient as its opponent in terms of stabilization. Expect a great detail, colors and good performances in low light conditions, though. The front camera has the same resolution: 16 MP, it has a f/2.0 aperture but it has no electronic stabilization. So probably you have already understood, OnePlus 5T has a better camera department and it wins the camera comparison even though Oppo R11s supports AI for selfies as described in the “Software” paragraph.

OnePlus 5T vs Oppo R11s: Battery

OnePlus 5T is thicker than R11s, but it also has a slightly bigger battery. The lithium unit of this phone has a capacity of 3300 mAh and it supports the Dash Charge technology for fast charging. We still do not know how the battery life will be if we compare it with OP5, but we expect a more than sufficient performance. The battery should provide almost a day of stressed use and it will probably charge itself very fastly.

On the other hand, Oppo R11s has a slightly smaller battery with a capacity of 3200 mAh. This battery still provides a sufficient battery life together with Snapdragon 660 which provides a low energy consumption. Further, it supports the VOOC fast charging technology, so it should charge as quickly as the OP5T. But OnePlus 5T should last a bit more, at least if we do not stress it too much. So, at least on the paper, OP5T wins the comparison.

OnePlus 5T vs Oppo R11s: Price

While OnePlus 5T will be available to purchase worldwide, R11s is only available to purchase in Asia. Anyways, let’s talk about the prices. For the new flagship, the company has decided to keep exactly the same price as its predecessor OP5, except for the US, the only place where it will cost $20 more. The price will be $500 in the US for the 64 GB version and $560 for the 128 GB version. In Europe, the prices will be 500 and 560 EUR.

Oppo R11s, instead, is going to cost about 450 EUR in Asia, and that is a cheaper price. You will be able to find it with a street price of about 480 dollars if you choose to buy it online. Oppo R11s wins the price comparison as it can be found with a lower price, and much time will pass before the listing price of OP5T will decrease. Even if it happens, the price will probably go down on third-party online stores and not the official OnePlus store.

OnePlus 5T vs Oppo R11s: Winner

OnePlus 5T is the winner of this comparison without any doubt. Why? Simple, it offers much better performance thanks to its more advanced processor and the higher amount of RAM, it has a better camera side and probably a better display too. There is no department where Oppo R11s is noticeably better than its opponent. But note that R11s is a bit cheaper, so it would make you save some money, if you really are on a tight budget.

Currently, the online retailer JD.com is showing that the registrations have crossed the mark of 381,000.

After the series of hypes and promotional campaigns, OPPO took the wraps off the R11s and R11s Plus yesterday. Both models are equipped with the same design but only differ in their display sizes. The device is available in Black and Champagne colours but there will be a Special Red variant which will sell at a higher price and would be limited in quantity. We’ve got some couple of hands-on photos of the R11s special Red variant courtesy of Ithomes and honestly, the R11s is a beauty.

The device keeps up with the latest trendy full-screen (18:9) display which have replaced the traditional 16:9 displays and given the phones a new look. There also are some slight tweaking of the camera and battery aspects but it just a tad different from the R11 and R11 Plus in these aspects. The device also doesn’t pack a front fingerprint sensor as a result of the reduced bezels.

The OPPO R11s also features a dual camera setup at the rear with LED flash on the right while the fingerprint sensor is situated in the middle. The device uses the U-shaped fused antenna band design as a result of its metallic rear casing but the antenna lines are not double-lines but a single thick line on both edges. OPPO is also shipping the device with a 3.5mm headset, as well as a protective case for the phone. We can’t say if the other colour variants have the same composition inside their packaging box. On the whole, the R11s is a real beauty that hardly has any flaws on the design, perhaps Linus would find one during his in-depth review of the model. Expect that here on Gizmochina soon.

As a reminder, the OPPO R11s has a 6.01-inch 2160 x 1080 display. It is powered by the Snapdragon 660 SoC and paired with 4GB of RAM while the internal memory is 64GB. The rear cameras are a combination of a 20MP f/1.7 sensor and a 16MP f/1.7 sensor. OPPO still retained a 20MP sensor at the front but it now has AI features that add some few tricks. The AI Beauty works the same way as that of the OPPO F5, bringing on over 200 facial enhancements, scene detection, and portrait mode. Keeping the lights on is a 3205mAh battery with support for VOOC fast charging technology and the interface is an Android Nougat-based Color OS 3.1. See more photos from below.

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.

OPPO‘s full-screen phone was spotted in a leaked image recently but little is still known about the device. More details have now emerged about the upcoming OPPO smartphone and it includes a couple of new photos purported to be of the device.

The OPPO full-screen phone which appeared on Weibo is labelled as OPPO R11s which is quite different from the OPPO Mix which was spotted on GeekBench some time back. As for the design, it is difficult to grab much about the details because of the presence of a casing which covers the area where the bezels are supposed to be located. 

However, the display which is powered on shows that the device will likely have very thin bezels on the chin and also at the lower edge. The upper edge will also have a not so big border where the front camera and earpiece would be located.

Geekbench tells us the device will come with flagship specs, including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. The device is also listed to run Android 7.1.1 Nougat and pack 6GB of RAM. We still don’t know when it would be launched but there are speculations that OPPO’s full-screen flagship model will be going official in November and would feature a Samsung AMOLED screen. Whether it is eventually named OPPO Mix or OPPO R11s, it still leaves the question as to what happened to the much-anticipated OPPO Find Series smartphone unanswered.
