From Selfie Expert to Brilliant Portrait

The favourite camera phone brand of young people everywhere, OPPO, has always been committed to providing creative youth with the inventive mobile phones that allow them to snap and share expressions of themselves and the world around them. Seeing ‘Selfies’as one of the most popular form of smartphone photography, OPPO first devised a selfie function that was continuously refreshed and enriched with cutting-edge selfie technology as well as a front camera. Such innovation in the art of the selfie quickly established OPPO as the “Selfie Expert” and one of the most popular and beloved brands in Sri Lankaand Southeast Asia. The mobile phone’s fantastic ‘Selfie’ photography was not only popular among customers but enriched OPPO’s legacy and standing as the ultimate “Selfie Expert”. OPPO continued to innovate, releasing the stunning F9, integrating the first dual rear camera to unveil an excellent depth of field effect. Building on the ground breaking dual rear camera and portrait technology of F9 Pro, OPPO’s F11 series elevate the F series to a higher level, upgrading the mobile phones and OPPO itself from "Selfie Expert" to "Brilliant Portrait".

48+5MPDual rear camera for Ultra-clear Image + Ultra-clear Night Mode for Night Photography 
Supported by OPPO's powerful camera technology, F11, and F11 Pro are both equipped with the most advanced camera system of the F series. As the rear camera has been greatly upgraded, F11 and F11 Pro feature an ultra-high standard 48MP+5MP dual camera system, F1.79 aperture, ball-bearing closed-loop VCM, 6P lens, and 1/2.25-inch image sensors to bring more light. In day lightenvironments, the devices can directly output 48MP ultra HD pictures. In low light, F11 series’ "Tetracell technology" analyzes and combines the data acquired by four adjacent pixels to make it equivalent to a single pixel size of 1.6μm, doubling the size of the photosensitive pixel and shooting brighter and low-noise night portraits. 

Commenting on the launch, Bob Li – CEO, OPPO Sri Lanka commented, “As a brand which revolutionized mobile photography I’m certain that OPPO F11 Pro will be at the forefront of the next phase with ‘Brilliant Portrait’ photography. With a cutting-edge 48MP dual rear camera & a whole-host of other best-in-class technologies, our consumers will appreciate the sheer ‘Brilliant Portrait’ photography irrespective of the light condition around oneself which results in a seamless smartphone experience. Crafted with perfection, the natural gradient design of OPPO F11 Pro adopts a design philosophy of minimalism putting attention on its aesthetics and details – which ultimately brings it best-of-both-worlds.” 

F11 and F11 Pro are also powered by ultra-night mode and Dazzle color mode, which is, OPPO’s system-level optimization solution specially designed for smartphone photography. This solution automatically recognizes the shooting scene and matches it with the targeted optimization solution. In ultra-night mode, it distinguishes between portraits and backgrounds, focuses on faces, and adjusts skin colour in low light portraits to enliven the overall effect. This also intelligently reduces the overall noise, suppressing highlights, improving the dynamic range, and increasing the brightness of dark areas to make night shots clean and clear. 

Through a flawless combination of hardware and software, OPPO F11 and F11 Pro offer an exceptionally robust rear camera capability, enabling young consumers to easily capture the world and record all the delightful moments of their lives.

A Panoramic Screen and Natural Gradient Design for Sublime Natural Beauty 

Da Vinci once said, "Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication.” These words can be used to describe F11 Pro, which has been designed to be as fluid and streamlined as possible. Its magnificent panoramic screen has been designed to hide the front camera, making it “notchless” and creating a stunning full screen. Compared with traditional mobile phones, its 6.5-inch display screen and screen-to-body ratio of up to 90.9% delivers larger images and more visual space to live out eye-catching entertainment and gaming experiences. 

While OPPO F9 set the gradient design trend, F11 series captures a new design breakthrough that integrates a vivid natural beauty into the streamlined sleekness of the gradient. Driven by the aesthetic concept of “natural creation”, OPPO draws inspiration from the beauty of natural light, which is reflected in the rhythmic beauty of F11’s color flows. This was achieved by a breakthrough in process and materials. In terms of ‘Thunder Balck’ one of the colours available, OPPO was able to create the profound inky black of the F11’s body, as well as blend in streaks of red and blue, just like meteors in the night sky. Last but not least, OPPO also provides a unique aurora green, with lines running throughout the blue-green gradient. Under different lights and shadows, the two colors blend into one, unleashing a different kind of energy. 

OPPO has always believed that mobile phones are not only communication tools but pieces of art as well. The shimmering gradient appearance and excellent panoramic screen of F11 series capture this belief, as well as its ground-breaking design philosophy of “natural creation”.

In addition to the above features, the OPPO F11 series also seek to improve the overall user experience and solve common smartphone problems such as over-heat, lag, and battery life. the OPPO F11 PRO has ColorOS 6 that helps in providing special optimization for popular games. It also embodies borderless aesthetics that adds an edge to the design element of the smartphone. Moreover, OPPO cloud will also help users to store upto 5G GB free space for data storage.

Also, this is the first time that OPPO Sri Lanka is launching 4 different models simultaneously – the other two being the A5s and the A1k - both sporting OPPO’s signature waterdrop screen apart from 2GB RAM + 32GB ROM. Whilst A5s comes with a 13MP + 2MP dual rear camera - it has 6.2” HD waterdrop Screen, 8MP front camera supported A.I. Beauty technology, 4230mAh super battery capacity and runs Colour OS 5.2.
