OPPO R11s review: Your girlfriend's favorite phone is now even better

When it comes to domestic mobile phone brands with excellent sales in today's market, many people will think of OPPO first.

From June to September this year, OPPO R11 has been the sales champion in the 2,500 yuan to 3,000 yuan price range in the domestic mobile phone market. This is not only because OPPO has far superior publicity and channel resources than other brands, but also because the product ideas centered around several core selling points such as appearance design and mobile phone photography deeply meet the usage needs of consumers, especially winning the favor of a large number of female consumers.

With the official release of OPPO R11s, not only is there an s after the name, but the addition of new concepts such as full screen also makes this phone, which may be your girlfriend’s favorite, even more outstanding.

Larger display area, better feel

The "s" in OPPO R11s means that its appearance is an upgrade and transformation of the previous product, so in terms of overall appearance design, OPPO R11s will not have much difference from R11.

However, the addition of the 18:9 full screen and the screen-to-body ratio of nearly 86% still make the front look of OPPO R11s more pure. Taking the black version in our hands as an example, whether the screen is off or on, the visual integrity is very strong.

Like previous OPPO phones, OPPO R11s comes with a screen protector pre-installed for users, saving users a troublesome step. At the same time, because the screen occupies most of the front of the machine, the fingerprint recognition area has been moved to the back and processed to a shape that fits the contour of the fingertips.

While the overall appearance of the OPPO R11s seems to be similar to the R11, it also pays more attention to the optimization of details to improve the grip of the phone. In addition to the curvature of the back that fits the palm as always, the upper and lower sides have a unique crescent curve treatment, making it more comfortable to hold the phone with one hand, which is the posture most people are accustomed to, supporting the bottom of the phone with their little finger.

The OPPO R11s, which is equipped with OPPO's exclusive VOOC flash charging technology, still uses the MicroUSB interface and comes with a charger with a standard output specification of 5V/4A. In addition, it still retains the 3.5mm headphone jack and comes with headphones, which shows that OPPO has not ignored the practicality of its products in pursuit of new trends.

"Honor of Kings" does not drop a single frame. Smart dual-camera makes photography more advanced

OPPO R11s continues to use Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor. Although this makes the parameters and running points party feel a little lacking, the special optimization for the most popular mobile game "Honor of Kings" has become the biggest killer of the product.

You know, running "Honor of Kings" smoothly and stably without any frame drop or lag is probably something that even some Android phones equipped with higher-performance processors find difficult to achieve. OPPO R11s' support for the game's high frame rate mode and more stable network connection performance are enough to make it an ideal tool for playing games.

In terms of software system, OPPO R11s is equipped with the new ColorOS 3.2 system customized based on Android 7.1.1. It is worth mentioning that a face recognition unlocking option similar to iPhone X can also be found in the system settings menu. However, the face recognition of OPPO R11s is based on the front camera, and the entry process does not require shaking your head like facing the iPhone X.

Although OPPO officials also stated that this type of facial recognition is not as efficient and accurate as conventional fingerprint recognition, OPPO R11s can achieve a "face scanning" efficiency of 0.08 seconds in most cases by raising your hand to light up the screen. It is still an excellent choice to use it instead of fingerprints to unlock the screen in daily use.

There is no doubt that the full screen is the biggest hardware design of OPPO R11s. In addition, OPPO R11s also has significant improvements in photo imaging.

Different from the traditional dual-camera solution that distinguishes between main and secondary cameras, the OPPO R11s is equipped with a self-developed 16-megapixel + 20-megapixel smart dual-camera, which means that both lenses on the R11s are main cameras and both use a large aperture of f/1.7.

In terms of actual photo performance, the Smart Dual Camera, with its 16-megapixel high-resolution camera and OPPO's gradient blur algorithm, can present a more natural effect and better background blur capability when shooting during the day, which is particularly evident in portrait mode.

In night environments, the Smart Dual Camera will mainly use the 20-megapixel high-sensitivity camera, which will intelligently aggregate four pixels into a 2.0μm large pixel in low-light environments, bringing 4 times the sensitivity and taking clearer and brighter night photos.

Night scene proofs:

OPPO R11s can still become a hit by grasping the core needs of users

As the full-screen wave is sweeping the mobile phone world, OPPO did not choose to rush into chasing this concept. Instead, it chose to release full-screen products at a later time. Just as OPPO expressed at the R11s launch conference, "full-screen is just a routine hardware upgrade in the mobile phone industry."

After experiencing OPPO R11s, it is not difficult to find that not only the addition of a full screen brings a better visual experience, but also a series of product upgrades such as the same excellent design and workmanship, efficient gaming experience, and continuously improving camera effects, can still grasp the core needs of users in each segment.

Judging from the data from this year's Double 11, which just ended, OPPO R11s once again won the sales championship in the 2,500 yuan to 3,000 yuan price range on the three major e-commerce platforms just 30 minutes after it went on sale.

This new OPPO phone may also become the next hit.
