The F11 series upgrades from “selfie expert” to “portrait master”, featu**ng a 48-megapixel (MP) image sensor to provide users with an unprecedented night photography experience. For the first time, softw*re and hardw*re upgrades combine to improve battery life, gaming performance, and user experience in a device.

OPPO is also the first smartphone manufacturer to create the first triple-colour grad*ent design, Thunder Black. This unique design blends red and blue into cla*sic black, akin to a meteor streaking across the night sky. OPPO also created a unique double-color grad*ent design, Aurora Green, which draws inspiration from vibrant blue oceans interwoven with lush green continents.

Panoramic screen display

The F11 series comes equipp*d with a 6.5-inch Full HD+ screen, featu**ng an aspect ratio of 19.5:9 and a screen-to-body ratio of 90.9%. In particular, the F11 Pro features a hidden front camera module to free up space for its Panoramic Screen display. The motor on the front camera modules has been thoroughly tested to ensure it can operate 100 times usage per day for 6 years without fail, thus ensu**ng a positive user experience.

The F11 series features much elaborate design, retaining the experience-optimised crescent design from the previous generation, but also adding a transparent, amber-colored hidden camera module. When the camera rises up, users are treated to a stunning visual experience.

OPPO has worked for years to advance the field of selfie photography, and with the F11 series has taken the next step to propel users to portrait master. To help users capture great photos anytime and anywhere, OPPO has made considerable efforts to make it easier to shoot sharp and marvelous portrait at night. The F11 series is equipp*d with a 48 MP image sensor and F1.79 large aperture.

Together with a 6P lens, the camera can sense more light when s******g in low light conditions, ensu**ng more details are captured. When captu**ng a night portrait, the included Tetra cell technology a**lyzes and combines data from four adjacent pixels to achieve the equivalent of a single 1.6μm pixel. Twice the number of photosensitive pixels improves light sensitivity and allows users to capture clearer night portraits.

The F11 series also employs Ultra Night Mode and Dazzle Color Mode technologies. These technologies leverage AI and multi-frame noise reduction to achieve noise reduction, handheld s**bilization, highlight suppression, and enhanced dynamic range. These all combine to enable users to capture levels of brightness and detail that normally exceed the limits of the human eye. When captu**ng a night portrait, the F11 series automatically distinguishes between a human face and the background, ensu**ng the human is the focus of the scene.

Employing a 48 MP lens, Ultra Night Mode, and Dazzle Color Mode, the OPPO F11 series features a combination of hardw*re and softw*re applications that allow users to easily capture sharp and stunning night portraits.

The F11 series not only captures excellent portraits with its rear camera, but also continues the “selfie expert” tradition of the F-series. Selfies taken with the F11 series are as natural and beautiful as ever.

The F11 series also succeeds in upgrading the overall user experience. First, the F11 series comes equipp*d with a 4,000mAh battery, 500 mAh higher than the previous generation. The brand new VOOC 3.0 flash charging technology leverages a new FFC algorithm, shortening charging time by 20 minutes compared to the previous generation, which means the F11 series can be charged within 80 minutes.

Safety considerations

In terms of safety, OPPO has customised special adapters, batteries, cables, circuits and interfaces, and develop*d its intelligent five layers of protection technology to keep users safe. Now, VOOC has over 90,000,000 users around the world. The F11 series also reduces power consumption through optimized hardw*re and softw*re technology. The F11 series contains a low-power MTK P70 CPU and ram-equipp*d display, while it also accurately monitors app power consumption to optimise app performance. Thus, the F11 series achieves a longer battery life via faster charging technology, a larger-capacity battery, and lower power consumption.

In regard to gaming, OPPO has independently develop*d its own performance acceleration engine called Hyper Boost, optimised for 11 popular mobile games, including PUBG and AOV. By optimising the system resource mobilisation plan, hardw*re resources can be utilised more effectively, resulting in faster game response, no disconnections, and no dropp*d frames. Meanwhile, OPPO has introduced two useful tools — Game Space and Game A*sistant, providing gam**s with a more imm**sive gaming experience.

The F11 Pro and F11 are also equipp*d with the new ColorOS 6 system, specially designed for full screen smartphones. The innovative borderless design further increases ease of use. In addition, ColorOS 6 has multiple functions, including OPPO Cloud Service, Smart A*sistant, and Gesture Navigation, allowing users to experience a smarter lifestyle.
