OPPO F21 Pro 4G Review: Special Attraction For Shakib Fans
Bangladesh, October 28 – Chinese consumer electronics manufacturer Oppo Mobile Telecommunications Corporation, Ltd., known as OPPO. Based in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China. Oppo manufactures a variety of electronic products including smartphones. The Oppo F-Series series focuses on selfie-centric smartphones with MediaTek or Qualcomm processors. Behind these tools hides the slogan "Selfie Expert". OPPO F21 Pro is the latest addition to OPPO's popular F21 series. Let's take a look at the specifications, pros and cons of OPPO F21 Pro 4G.
Why OPPO F21 Pro is a gift for Shakib Al Hasan fans?
OPPO F21 Pro was launched in May 2022 in Sunset Orange and Cosmic Black colors. The brand is now bringing a new color for the OPPO F21 Pro.
OPPO brings the world's best all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan's signature S#75 to the Oppo F21 Pro, already available for the OPPO F21S. S#75 is a color variant that includes many other colors including pink, green and gold.
Such colors are a reflection of Shakib's personality which he acquires over time through various achievements and experiences. But it's not just the color of Shakib, it applies to all smartphone users.
OPPO F21 Pro 4G Key Features
Unorganized
F21 Pro is different from other phones in the market. It has different advantages than other phones. In a series of stunning back cover designs, the new S#75 color of the OPPO F21 Pro is sure to make it look stunning and polished. It feels great and is easy to maintain.
The rectangular camera unit on the left side of the back has three lenses and an LED flash. The LED light around the frame next to the camera module is used by OPPO as a notification light and likes to respond as an orbital light. It lights up when you make a call or when the device is charging.
Oppo F21 Pro 4G has a hole for the front camera in the upper left corner of the LCD screen. There is almost no carpet around. Compared to other phones, the F21 Pro has straight edges which makes it less ergonomic. Still, OPPO has done a good job keeping the phone light to just 175 grams. It is currently one of the slimmest phones in its price range.
The announcement
Oppo F21 Pro 4G has a 6.43-inch AMOLED screen. It has a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels with 409 ppi.
The screen has excellent colors and good blacks, but the refresh rate is lower than comparable devices. A 90Hz refresh rate panel is better if you compare it to a 120Hz panel. This screen is not too bright and meets the requirements of bright light.
The typical brightness of an OPPO phone is 403 nits in normal mode. You get a maximum brightness of 600 nits, which is enough to use the phone in direct sunlight.
OPPO has confirmed that the OPPO F21 Pro has the required Widevine L1 DRM certification, allowing users to stream the best possible content on their smartphones.
Camera
The OPPO F21 Pro camera setup includes three sensors on the back and one sensor on the front.
Rear camera
The rear camera is a primary 64-megapixel wide-angle camera that supports f/1.7 aperture, 79-degree field of view and 6P lens. The camera hardware is important for maintaining sharpness. Like most OPPO devices, the colors look great on this device. There's also good dynamic range from the main rear camera, as it can capture different colors with minimal contrast.
The rear camera array includes a microscopic 2-megapixel sensor that offers f/3.3 aperture, 65-degree field of view and a 3P lens.
It has a 2-megapixel mono camera with f/2.4 aperture, 89-degree field of view and 3P lens. It can take black and white photos.
With OPPO F21 Pro's rear camera, you can record 1080P at 30fps and 720P at 30fps. 720p video is supported at 120fps for slow motion video. EIS is available for the rear camera.
Front camera
It has a 32-megapixel front camera with f/2.4 aperture, 85-degree field of view and 5P lens. The OPPO F21 Pro's selfie camera is the go-to device for snapping fun photos all day long. While the selfie camera takes good photos in good light, it struggles in low light. In low light, the image looks dull and out of focus. The lack of optical image stabilization (OIS) can make it worse.
The front camera of OPPO F21 Pro supports 1080P video at 30fps and 720P recording at 30fps.
Software and performance
In terms of performance, any mid-range Android smartphone will perform as well as the OPPO F21 Pro. Apps take time to load and boot times are longer than expected The phone is powered by an 8-core Snapdragon™ 680 clocked at up to 2.4 GHz. The graphics block is the Adreno 610 GPU with a clock frequency of 1100 MHz.
The phone runs on the latest Android 12 operating system with ColorOS 12 skin. Oppo doesn't offer a clean user interface, but instead offers simple and well-thought-out tools to personalize your experience.
The device has Air Gestures, which allows you to switch between sites like YouTube, Facebook and Instagram using hand gestures. It's just a trick and you'll probably touch the screen.
But you will definitely love the OPPO Orbit Light customization option which gives you a better overall experience.
The phone has 8GB LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB UFS2.2 storage. But if this memory space is not enough, you can use an external memory card.
Battery and charger
The battery of OPPO F21 Pro is 4500 mAh, it will not be at the top of the list but you will be satisfied with its performance. It lasts all day when connected to the internet. If you don't play games on this phone it will last for two days. Even if you play games, the phone gives you about five hours of backup which is an excellent battery backup from a 4500mAh device.
Among competing phones in this price range, the Oppo F21 Pro only comes with a 33W fast charger, which isn't as good as competing 66W options. This increases the time required to complete the charge, but the included charger provides a full charge in one hour and twenty-five minutes.
OPPO F21 Pro official price in Bangladesh
OPPO F21 Pro is 8GB + 128GB single variant, the phone is priced at Rs 29,990 and you can buy it online or in stores. However, the price may vary.
The last word
Oppo F21 Pro is an average mid-range Android for most functions. It performs like a mid-range phone and the camera is on par with other mid-range Android smartphones in the market.
However, the smartphone's design and imaging capabilities make it stand out from the crowd in the microscopic camera department. You will definitely love the microscope software and camera. But what you don't like is the operating system and the image performance is not very good.
If you are looking for a feature phone under Rs 30,000 for daily work and photography, you can consider the Oppo F21 Pro 4G.
