2017-06-09
Juan Carlos wag nel here for Pocket now and I'm in China specifically camping out for a couple days in Shenzhen to spend a little quality time with the new Oppo our 11 a follow-up to one of oppas most successful phones the design is sleeker the cameras are improved and the phone is running the newest mid-range chipset from Qualcomm the r11 gives off a nice first impression well machined pushing antenna bands to the corners and edges and the matte black model makes those bands really discreet this seems to be the final evolution of this style as other companies are pushing boundaries in other ways we wouldn't disagree from the comments we're short again about this phone and similarities with other devices a significant focus has been placed on camera improvements which always make me happy dual shooters are all the rage and Oppo is serving up a standard view and a zoomed sensor 20 and 16 megapixels respectively the two can work in tandem to produce a pretty bouquet background blur mode the portrait processing here feels familiar and worked well on the Oppo show floor even when shooting blind on a rear camera selfie you shouldn't have to rely on shooting blind though as the front-facing camera is also a 20 megapixel shooter and Oppo has a solid reputation for delivering on the selfie game I'm just terrible at testing out selfies so yeah moving right along Oppo has worked with partners closely on this phone reaching out to welcome to help improve image processing so we're looking forward to testing image quality claims and the speed of image rendering first impressions are on point highlighting the feature is most likely to resonate with consumers beauty filtering high quality 4k video a fully stocked manual mode increasingly all the camera stuff we should expect on nicer phones we can't dig too deep here though is this is still early software and a few gremlins like white balance while zooming need to be ironed out but we're confident Apple will address this before release a quick look at software the color OS skin has received a bit of polish but if you're not a fan of making Android function more like iOS this won't win you over again early days but it is a simple layout and the phone handles with that issue this could prove to be a great time for upper mid tier chipsets Oppo claims a healthy bump in performance while also taxing the battery less the Snapdragon 653 was notorious for running warm but newer chipsets like the 625 have proven to be consistent in power efficient performers we're very curious to see if the 660 will continue that positive trend the combo of 1080p display in 3000 milliamp hour battery should help this chipset in keeping this phone powered all day long the R 11 plus was also unveiled increasing the form factor with the 6-inch display taking the RAM up to 6 gigabytes and bumping the battery up to a four thousand milliamp hour capacity expecting this should definitely be an all-day battery runtime champ I'm not always the biggest fan of phablets but the strategy of big phone little phone seemed well executed here in my opinion and there you have it folks Oppo score to hit with the r9 they're hoping the r11 will build on that success and we want to hear from you does Apple have the right package to excite consumers is it the right response to increasingly cutthroat competition drop us a comment down below now if you'll excuse me I've got to go track down some noodles as always thanks so much for watching be sure to subscribe and hit that Bell icon for more videos like these and help us out with some sharing on your favorite social networks for pocket now I'm Juan Carlos bag now so I'm gadget guy on Twitter and Instagram and I will catch you all on the next video
