OPPO unveiled its new flagship phones, the R11 and
R11 Plus a few days ago. The dual camera duo are the first devices to sport the
new Snapdragon 660 processor. The launch was originally scheduled for 10th of
June, but OPPO launched them a day early. However, it kept the pricing details
to itself, revealing them last night at a sponsored musical concert.
The 5.5-inch OPPO R11 is priced at ¥ 2999 (US$ 440). A
special Heat Red variant of the R11 will sell for ¥ 3199 (US$ 470). The larger R11
Plus is available for ¥ 3699 (US$ 544). Online and offline sale will kick off on
June 16 at 10:00 AM local time.
The OPPO R11 and R11 Plus share a design that is
obviously based on that of the iPhone 7 Plus. Their selling point is the dual
rear cameras. One is a 16MP Sony IMX398 f/1.7 sensor and the other is a 20MP
Sony IMX350 f/2.6 sensor with telephoto lens.
OPPO’s F1 is known as the selfie expert with its
superb front facing camera. The R11 and R11 Plus trump it with their 20MP f/2.0
sensor.
