Oppo’s latest comes in both 4G and 5G variants. However, we received the Oppo F21s Pro in 4G version.
Design and Build Quality The Oppo F21s Pro has a plain, straight, no-nonsense design, just like the previous F-series devices with a matte-finished back and side band. The camera platform is metal, which offers some protection to the lens. The chrome finish on the camera bump and a red dot somewhat breaks the monotony in design. The front camera has a punch hole design. Both the surfaces are protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 panels. The phone is offered in Dawnlight Gold and Starlight Black colourways.
Key Features As mentioned above, the F21s Pro that we received, is the 4G version, and the device uses the 6nm Snapdragon 680 octa-core CPU. The device supports dual SIM and includes a dedicated MicroSD memory card slot in the card tray. The device offers 8GB LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB onboard UFS2.2 storage. The F21s Pro uses ColorOS 12.1 based on Android 12. The phone measures 15.99 x 7.32 x 0.77 cm and weighs approximately 182 g.
The phone uses a 6.43-inch FHD+ (2400 x 1080) AMOLED display that provides up to 90 Hz refresh rate and a peak touch sampling rate of 180Hz. A 95 percent DCI-P3 gamut coverage ensures that the monitor displays a wide range of colours. The smartphone uses a triple camera system at the rear. The main camera is a 64-megapixel unit with f/1.7 aperture. The other two are 2-megapixel modules for Macro and Monochrome. There is no telephoto or wide-angle camera. The front camera uses a 32-megapixel sensor. The most interesting camera feature is the Microlens mode, which allows you to observe and capture microscopic details in a subject. The camera allows up to Full HD (1080p) videos at 30 fps.
