OPPO R11s Red Variant


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.  

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.
