The lowdown

It is providing a leatherback with stylish and velvety look. These features make the device feel different in hands. While touching it providing a premium features smartphone feel. It is one of the smartest and sleekest phones available. Phone is consisting of 7.5mm edges. It is the sleekest phone in the market after Vivo’s V Series of phones.

Features

While the smartphone is very good and handy in all the features. This time, Oppo took the decision to put Stereo speaker in its smartphone. While comparing to its price, stereo speaker is an expensive addition to this phone. Device is also equipped with 3.5mm headphone jack. Oppo F21-pro is charged through Type-C USB port. The phone came with a stereo mono speaker that produce enough sound while watching videos and in any situation. But if the phone come up with dual speakers, although not stereo speakers, no doubt, it would level up the media experience of users.

Second lens is known as monochrome sensor with 2MP, while third lens is known is monochrome sensor with 2MP lens. With series of lenses quality of the photos are awesome. The main camera lens is providing fresh-looking pictures with a good exposure, sharpness and well-saturated effects. The dynamic range of the camera is one of the best features from the camera. While sensor work well identifying and enhancing different shades. The camera is featuring with an outstanding feature of interpolation of sub-pixel technique that is called ExtraHD mode. This mode multiplies the pixel rate in the picture by 2, scaling the image to 108MP resolution size. It benefiting the users’ extra benefits while editing photos.

The features above did not make the F21-Pro a perfect unit. There is room for betterment of exposure control in photos. The lenses reduce the quality of shadows in pictures. This in result decrease the details in dark areas of the photos. But still, it is good option for taking pictures in day light.

This enables you to zoom anything. Such zooming is very good feature for any smartphone. But you need wonderful steady hands to took a perfect shot with zooming camera.

Second area of improvement is while taking any closeup shot you need more lighting as compared to other macro-sensor cameras. Oppo F21-Pro is come with a beautiful ring light which illuminate the phone amazing but not enough to brighten properly the subject. The camera is come up with a monochrome lens.
