Oppo did an outstanding job last year by announcing Oppo R17 with an in-screen display. Many tech enthusiasts applauded it for innovation. Later, the users even verified the facts as being an excellent device last year. Due to its massive sales, we were expecting the R19 this year with a similar approach. There were many rumors and leaks also which were pointing towards its release. Amid all the leaks, Vice President of Oppo and the leader of Domestic division, Shen Yiren said that Oppo R19 is not going to launch this year.

Today, giving information about the advancements, Shen took to his official Weibo handle and announced the delay in R19 launch this year. There are many other announcements which followed as replies on Weibo by Shen. As per the VP of Oppo, the Chinese company is keen on bringing new selfie centric devices to emerging markets. Unknowingly, it seems Yiren has confirmed the Oppo F11 Pro launch in Asia Pacific region in upcoming months. It is the Oppo’s next innovative device with a revolutionary pop-up camera design. Oppo F11 Pro will come with a front full screen and Snapdragon high-level chipset. Further, it is expected to hit the markets in Africa such as Kenya, Morocco, and the Gulf region.

Further, he even discussed the foldable displays and said they are not providing any significant value. He said this on the basis of experience he had with the engineering prototypes of the foldable display. As per him, the foldable displays are not serving the purpose and are not solving any problem. These views won’t end all the rumors which stated that Oppo is working on a foldable device. Indeed, it will give rest to those rumors which were seen on the web from the recent past.

In January, Oppo CEO Chen Mingyong also discussed their views regarding the upcoming 5G devices. In an interview with Qualcomm China, Chen said that they are working on to build a 5G compatible device. Oppo is soon going to launch a new smartphone with Snapdragon 855.

There was a time the OPPO F series launched as the international variant of the OPPO R series but that has changed. Both series are now sold in the same markets these days. However, it appears OPPO may revert back to the old system based on this poster of the OPPO R19.

The OPPO R19 in the poster below looks like the OPPO F11 Pro which leaked yesterday. The R19 is clearly launching in China and we know the F11 Pro is making its way to India in early March.

The front of OPPO R19 has shaved off bezels but there is a thin cutout in the top frame for the speaker. There is no notch or punch hole which means the phone has a pop-up selfie camera much like the Vivo V15 Pro. Leaked photos of the OPPO R19 from last week already revealed the phone’s pop-out camera slides out from the middle.

On the back, the R19 has dual rear cameras with an LED flash above the sensors. All three share the same housing and are arranged vertically. They are also positioned in the middle of the device and connect to the frame. The poster says the main camera is a 48MP sensor.

There is no fingerprint scanner on the rear but there is also no fingerprint icon on the display but it most likely has an in-display fingerprint scanner. The OPPO R19 has a blue-purple gradient finish but should launch in other colors too.

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.

The post Alleged OPPO R19/F11 live shots reveal pop-up selfie camera and notch-less screen appeared first on Gizmochina.

OPPO has been consistently offering higher screen space on its R-series of smartphones. The OPPO R11 that was unveiled in June 2017 came with 16:9 display and its upgraded version R11s was launched with 18:9 screen later in the same year.  OPPO switched to notched displays for the R15 series that were unveiled in Q1 last year. The R17 series launched later last year came with waterdrop notched screens. Hence, it is very likely that the upcoming R19 will either feature a punch-hole display like the Samsung Galaxy A8s or Honor View 20. Recently, OPPO had filed for two patents with title “Mobile phone with app icon interface” which is nothing but a punch-hole display with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

The display design reveals the presence of a selfie camera on the top-left corner of the display. The camera app overlays the selfie camera and next it is four other apps. Swiping to the right of the camera will reveal those other apps, but the camera icon will always remain at the same place.

The rear design of the phone has antenna bands placed on the top and bottom edges of the back panel. A horizontal dual camera setup with LED flash is placed at the top-left of the rear shell. A fingerprint scanner is also available on the backside of the phone. The bottom edge of the phone has external speaker, a charging port and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Will the upcoming OPPO R19 sport the new punch-hole display design? There is no concrete evidence available yet. A recent report had revealed that the company may use a notch-less screen like the OPPO Find X for the OPPO R19. The smartphone is speculated to be equipped with a pop-up selfie camera. The backside of the phone could be either featuring a dual or triple camera module. Like the predecessor model, the R19 may feature an under-display fingerprint scanner.

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.

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.

The OPPO R15 that was unveiled in March this year had arrived with a notched screen. Two months ago, the OPPO R17 was released as the successor of the R15 phone. The waterdrop notch display design allowed the R17 to deliver a higher screen-to-body ratio than the R15.

The handset features a notch-less display. Instead of the notch, it features a small selfie camera hole at the top portion of the screen. The smartphone is also equipped with an in-screen fingerprint reader.

The rear design of the phone is almost identical to OPPO R17. The R19’s rear seems to be made out of glass. The bluish-green color gradient rear has a vertical dual camera setup followed by an LED flash. Below it is the logo of the company.

There is no confirmation on whether the above render is genuine. IceUniverse has had a consistent track record for leaking information on forthcoming smartphones.
