In February 2019, smartphone manufacturers, OPPO recently made an official grand entrance into Nigeria. At the time, a representative of the company said OPPO planned to launch a device in Nigeria.
The OPPO F11 was the promised one and it eventually came to Nigeria following a global launch in March.
It seems OPPO has cracked the above needs of its customers with F11.
OPPO has released OPPO F!!, which can be termed as the younger brother of OPPO F!! Pro. The punch in the phone is about its price with the features it offers.
The phone has 6.5 inches waterdrop screen. The screen can offer an immersive experience with 90.70% screen to body ratio. With all that display, it may consume more power and the company offers that too with Behemoth 4020 mAh battery. It comes with VOOC Flash Charge 3.0. That means one charge for five minutes and can have two-hour talk time with the superfast technology in charging. So the users can spend less time charging and more time on viewing or playing.
Is that all? No.
The phone has a captivating camera too. The rear end of the phone has a 48MP camera with an f/1.79 aperture. This is paired with a 5MP depth sensor, which gives comparably clear photos. Is that over? no.
The phone has ultra night mode too.

Camera
With dual primary cameras; 48 MP with an f/1.8 aperture, 5 MP and f/2.4, and a 16 MP camera, the Oppo F11 Pro looks like an ideal camera in a phone.
The cameras primarily have 3 modes; video, photo, and portrait. Other setting options allow for shooting high-definition, slow-motion videos, night mode, time-lapse, panorama, an expert mode for real-time adjustments and Google Lens
Selfie camera
In a bid to create the perfect smartphone (nearly) devoid of bezels. Oppo took away the camera from the screen. Guess where they put it? On top of the phone!
When switched to selfie mode, the camera automatically pops up seemingly from nowhere. At first, I worried about accidental drops damaging it, but a slight touch retracts the pop-up, so this maybe rules out damage.
Another downside of this feature is that when Face Recognition is engaged as a security measure, the camera automatically activates every time the screen wakes. This is equal parts inconveniencing and scary.
