Should I buy this Oppo smartphone for less than 25,000 rupees?

The Oppo F21 Pro, which was launched last month, is one of the smartphones that somehow stood out in my eyes, not because it’s the best phone you can buy for Rs 22,999, but because of the way it looks, and for a very cool feature. suggestions (read more about this “cool feature”).

The Oppo F21 Pro 4G was launched in India in April at a price of Rs 22,999 and up in the country. The smartphone comes with a 6.4-inch Full HD + AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 90 Hz and is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chipset combined with 8 GB of RAM. The smartphone comes with a triple rear camera that features a 64-megapixel main camera and two 2-megapixel sensors. I have been using the Oppo F21 Pro as a secondary smartphone for the past few weeks and I will tell you what I like about the smartphone that I don’t like and if you have to spend Rs 22,999 on the Oppo F21 Pro. Let’s get started.

DESIGN

In terms of design, the Oppo F21 Pro 4G looks very good. The smartphone is lightweight and comes with flat sides that allow you to comfortably hold your smartphone, and it can stand on your desk or any other flat surface. The Oppo F21 Pro 4G also has this orange faux leather back panel, which gives the smartphone a beautiful premium and different look, while the rectangular camera module on the back with two-tone silver and black only adds to this premium back’s appeal.

The front of the Oppo F21 Pro 4G has a puncture cutout that is located at the top left of the screen. Also at the bottom of the front is a chin that shouldn’t have been, but of course you can only ask for that much. Overall, the design of the smartphone is one of the best in this segment – super light, flat sides and faux leather back cover make it very attractive!

DISPLAY

The display on the Oppo F21 Pro 4G is a 6.4-inch Full HD + AMOLED display. This is an AMOLED display, so black is deeper and colors are brighter. There is a display with a refresh rate of 90 Hz, which makes the work much smoother.

However, the details on the display are not as good as we would have hoped, which you will only learn if you play games like Battlegrounds Mobile India. Otherwise, too, the display doesn’t feel as premium as some other smartphones in this segment, but it’s a good display anyway. As for brightness, it’s not the brightest screen in this segment, but it can still be used in bright sunlight. However, watching videos and Netflix shows has been a good experience on the Oppo F21 Pro 4G.

PERFORMANCE AND BATTERY

In terms of performance, the Oppo F21 Pro 4G works just like any other mid-range Android smartphone. It’s not sluggish by any definition, but of course apps take at least some time to load, and startup time is also longer than I expected. Several times the smartphone showed a very small lag when doing things like changing the wallpaper or resetting any display settings.

As with other Oppo smartphones, ColorOS 12.1 takes away quite a bit of the overall experience of using this smartphone. There are many permissions you need to give to use almost everything on your smartphone, and there are still a few apps that are distributed here and there. While you can easily uninstall these apps that are distributed, they are mostly not appreciated by users. Now ColorOS 12.1 gives you a few features you won’t get with standard Android or other Android skins, but it still doesn’t pay off for the fact that you need to give access to a few things to even use the core apps on the Oppo F21 Pro.

As for the battery, the Oppo F21 Pro 5G performed very well. If you do not play games on this phone, it will last up to two days. However, even in games, the smartphone gave me a little less than five hours of screen time, which is a very good backup power supply of 4500 mAh. The fast 33-watt charge is also pretty fast, and the smartphone fully charges in just over an hour. I didn’t check the exact time, but charging never felt slow.

CAMERA

The camera on the Oppo F21 Pro 4G is a triple rear camera that comes with a 64-megapixel main camera and two 2-megapixel sensors. The camera quality is just average for regular photos. Pictures shot in “extra HD” mode are very good quality, but the rest of the photos are average. In a bright environment it produces images of excellent quality, while in a dark environment it is difficult. There are also quite a few AI obstacles in the shooting.

Now that the camera is almost average, there is a microscope feature that is just amazing and exciting. One of the two 2-megapixel lenses on the Oppo F21 Pro 4G can turn a smartphone into a portable microscope and it works really well. This was my favorite thing to do with the Oppo F21 4G. You can find this feature in the camera app called “Microscope” and after clicking on it you will have to place the camera at a distance of about 4mm to 6mm from the object to see what your naked eye cannot see. A very cool feature, and putting it in a mid-range smartphone is much appreciated.

VERDICT

The Oppo F21 Pro 4G is your average Android dealer for most things. It works as one, and the camera is also as you would expect from any other mid-range Android smartphone in our market. However, the design and entertainment with this microscope camera feature is what sets the smartphone apart from the crowd. Obviously I like the design and function of the microscope camera, what I don’t like is the OS and the average performance of the camera.

There is no denying that mid-range smartphones with higher performance and prospects are available in this segment. However, the Oppo F21 Pro 4G offers you what none of these mid-range ones offer. So if you want this trick and if you want people to ask you what beautiful phone you are using, then the Oppo F21 Pro 4G is worth your Rs 22,999.
