Oppo F21 Pro+ Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Oppo F21 Pro+ is not a hit for us

The Chinese company Oppo is still little known outside of its homeland, where the number of fans of the corporation is dozens of times greater. And it seems that the company is still ready to produce all the most interesting and relevant within China. What are the inhabitants of Europe and the CIS missing again?

The appearance of the novelty is in many ways similar to those of the recent OnePlus and Realme, which are also part of the BBK concern. You have already seen the familiar outlines of the gadget and the camera unit, the frameless 6.43-inch AMOLED screen with a fingerprint sensor in a number of other devices. The case itself is made of polycarbonate, and even glossy. The exterior looks good, but it will have to be hidden under the cover. Otherwise, scratches and chips cannot be avoided. The FullHD + AMOLED display has a 90Hz refresh rate and a decent amount of brightness. Of course, this is not a top AMOLED panel, but in direct sunlight, the picture is still visible.

The role of the technical characteristics is assigned to the Mediatek Dimensity 900 CPU, 6GB / 8GB of RAM and the Mali G68MC4 graphics accelerator. This solution is becoming more popular due to the excellent balance of energy efficiency and performance. Gamers will be able to try even the resource-intensive Genshin Impact without significant lags, and fans of increased autonomy will see about 8-9 hours of active screen time from a 4500 mAh battery . It should be noted that the developer did not save on charging speed ( 65W ), you need to be at the outlet for about half an hour. The processor does not upset with throttling, even the plastic back panel does not get hot from long gaming sessions.

In addition to the material of manufacture, it is possible to notice savings on the main 64, 8 and 2-megapixel photomodules. These are ordinary sensors for the price segment without optical stabilization, poorly suitable for evening and night shooting. The absence of noise and impressive detailing of the frame can only be achieved during the day. There is no stereo sound, it was reserved for flagships, the only speaker will not let you miss a call, but the lack of bass reduces the enjoyment of music and videos. Contactless NFC payments, work in 5G networks, 128/256 GB of ROM and the listed advantages significantly outweigh the shortcomings and bring the device to the rank of potential bestsellers or at least commercially successful Android smartphones. Too bad we won't be able to buy it.
