Oppo F21 Pro 5G

Prioritises style and camera

When it comes to camera smartphones, Oppo is W undoubtedly one of the first names that comes to mind. And, after the outstanding performance of the Oppo Reno 7 series, expectations for the company's others phones are already high. With the F21 Pro and F21 Pro 5G, the brand has added a new member to its F-series, with unique design and Alenabled camera feature. Is that, though, all that matters? Certainly not. From powerful performance, smooth user experience, and rich display to good battery life, everything is required for a satisfactory overall experience.

The Oppo F series has always been recognised for combining a beautiful appearance with respectable specs, and the Oppo F21 Pro 5G is no exception. We have got our hands on the smartphone and here is what we think about the Oppo F21 Pro 5G.

Design

While the Oppo F21 Pro's 4G variant is the clear winner in terms of looks and aesthetics, the Oppo F21 Pro 5G, like most of the previous generation Oppo smartphones, is also outstanding in looks. The Oppo F21 Pro 5G's plastic body makes it more durable, but it detracts from the overall build quality, especially when compared to the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G, which has a glass back panel. With two large camera lenses placed within the round metallic rings that have orbiting lights around it - the immediate reaction is ... Wow! The Oppo F21 Pro 5G is available in two colours: cosmic black and rainbow spectrum, and we've been testing the latter. The glistening rainbow-displaying colour panel has a matte texture and is smudge-proof.

The device has a sleek design and feels quite light in the hand, with even weight distribution. The Oppo F21 Pro 5G's flat chassis is similar of the latest iPhones, giving it a superb in-hand feel.
