Couple of leaked shot of an upcoming OPPO smartphone have surfaced online. The smartphone is equipped with a pop-up selfie camera and a notch-less display. There is no confirmation yet on whether it belongs to the forthcoming OPPO F11 or OPPO R19 smartphone.

The OPPO F9 and OPPO R17 phones from last year were equipped with waterdrop notch enabled displays. As it can be seen in the below images, the mysterious OPPO smartphone features a notch-less screen. Hence, the smartphone is expected to deliver a marvelous viewing experience thanks to its high screen-to-body ratio.

The mysterious phone features a vertically arranged triple camera setup with a fingerprint scanner placed below it. The rear shell of the phone seems to be made out of glass.

The OPPO F-series phones have always featured horizontally aligned dual camera setup on the rear. Even the OPPO R-series until the R15 lineup from last year were launched with horizontal dual camera setup but the R17 and R17 Pro were fitted with vertical dual cameras. Also, both the R17 phones were equipped with in-display fingerprint scanner, while the F9 came with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. Hence, it is difficult to determine whether the newly spotted handset is OPPO F11 or OPPO R19.

Another interesting feature on the mysterious OPPO is the presence of a pop-up selfie camera. A recent leak had revealed that the OPPO R19 would be featuring a center-positioned selfie camera and its rear cameras would be also placed on the center area on the top half of the back panel. Also, the case images of the OPPO R19 that had surfaced in the previous month not only had cutouts for these cameras, but also it featured a cutout for a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. Hence, there is a possibility that the above photos may belong to the OPPO R19 handset. As of this writing, there are no leaks that have revealed the presence of pop-up selfie camera on the OPPO F11.

OPPO’s R series and Vivo’s X lineup have been consistently providing higher screen space with each generation. A fresh leak has revealed that the upcoming OPPO R smartphone and the next Vivo X phone will be equipped with pop-up camera. This will allow these companies to provide more screen space on their upcoming smartphones.

Based on the information gathered from an accessory factory, a leakster from China has claimed that the upcoming OPPO R series which could be the OPPO R19 and R19 Pro will be featuring a pop-up camera towards the center on the top-edge. Its rear camera is also expected to be present at the center on the back panel. The placement of the rear camera seems to match with the case images of the R19 that had surfaced in the previous month.

He added that the next generation Vivo X phone which could be the Vivo X25 smartphone will be featuring a pop-up camera system at the top-right corner. Its rear camera will be also placed on the back panel.

Rumors have it that the R19 could be fueled by Helio P80 SoC. These phones may go official by the end of the first quarter of the year. Hence, more details on these devices are expected to surface in the coming weeks.

OPPO is expected to debut the OPPO R19 and R19 Pro smartphones by the end of the first quarter of the coming year. Case images of the Oppo R19 have surfaced today to reveal that the smartphone may sport a refreshed rear design.

As it can be seen in the images below, the R19 case features a large vertical cutout which may house the dual camera setup and its LED flash. Below it is there is an oval shaped cutout for the fingerprint sensor. It seems odd to see a rear-mounted fingerprint since the predecessor OPPO R17 featured an in-screen fingerprint reader. Probably, the in-display fingerprint sensor feature could be available only on the OPPO R19 Pro model.

The volume buttons of the phone are placed on the left side while the power button appear to be on the right. The bottom edge of the smartphone has cutouts for 3.5mm headphone jack, USB-C port and a speaker grille. At the top edge of the Oppo R19 smartphone’s case are three cutouts. The cutout at the center is a big one which suggests that it could be for the pop-up selfie shooter. If the company opts for such a selfie camera on the R19, it may sport a notch-less display like the OPPO Find X smartphone.

There are no details available on the specifications of the smartphone. The OPPO R15 series that were unveiled earlier this year were powered Helio P60, but the R17 and R17 Pro that released in the second half of the year were fueled by Snapdragon 670 and Snapdragon 710. Since OPPO did not use MediaTek chipset to power the R17 series, the Taiwanese chip maker is reportedly readying Helio P80 chipset for the Oppo R19 series. Just as the R17 has 8 GB of RAM, the R19 may also feature the same amount of RAM.

The above images have for the first time revealed the design of the upcoming R19 handset. Hence, it is advisable to digest the report with a pinch of salt and wait for newer information to confirm its design.
