A few weeks after we had it as a daily driver, we have a verdict on OPPO's first smartphone with full screen display
On benchmarks, yup that the Helio P70 octa-core processor gained 10% more performance compared to Helio P60 with almost 150,000 on Antutu. The phone has seven out of nine working sensors.
The F11 Pro is not the first Color OS based on Android Pie that we checked (as we are still waiting for the right version of Realme 3 for us in our future review) and finally, we loved this custom OS version of OPPO (except that before we had an OTA update, the RAM management was still not that good) from the color-coded activations in the pulldown menu and the app drawer. You can still customize the placing of the toggles that you can check on the pulldown menu. Another welcom change that you can fully utilize the developer mode without the annoying yellow banner that you usually see in old OPPO devices. With that, we were able to have a faster OPPO F11 Pro in terms of transitions and processing.
On connectivity, hands down on this phone on realiability on calls, texts, mobile data, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth and OTG

On battery, OPPO F11 Pro is holding our longest so far in the 2019 smartphone releases in our video battery rundown test with 23 hours and 52 minutes. The huge jump of battery capacity from 3,500 to 4,000 mAh was helpful plus a more energy efficient Helio P70 processor inside, we can squeeze this smartphone as a daily driver in heavy usage in 1.5 to 1.75 days. They mentioned that there is some improvement on VOOC 3.0 versus the previous version but it has the same wattage output. The charger can pump in from 0 to 100% in around 80 to 85 minutes.
On camera, OPPO F11 Pro was on point in their #BrilliantPortrait as the said feature works well either in a person or various things and scenarios that you want to put in that camera frame. The AI feature on top as an auto shooter, the F11 Pro was one of the best that we seen this 2019 in the high midrange category. Yes, the pro is still there but still not as extensive as to some of Huawei's high midrangers. On comparing it on both the 12 versus 48 MP camera samples, at least the F11 Pro gives more justice this time as you can get brighter and more detailed pics. Overall quality on the 16 MP selfie camera was also on point too

On extras, we were happy to know that the FM radio function of F11 Pro was very good for us either on chillax down to on to go mode
OPPO F11 Pro's strengths include an all-new design compared to the previous F smartphones, connectivity, battery life, camera and the Color OS. The weakness might be for those who are looking for NFC and already adpoted to the USB Type C port. OPPO F11 Pro price is at Php 18,990. For us, it is at 4.5 out of 5
