The new update is rolling out for eligible Oppo smartphones, featuring a major design overhaul, and comes with several new Android 11 features like one-time permissions, bubble notifications, and more. One of the best things about the Android operating system is the freedom it offers to both companies as well as users to customize their phones. Almost every company has a custom skin – some of them offer a deeply customized experience while others stick to adding features without any major design changes. With the ColorOS 11 update, Oppo has dialled back its design philosophy to look a lot closer to stock Android than ever before. But is it enough? Has Oppo addressed some of the issues plaguing its custom skin or do they still persist? Let’s find out in this ColorOS 11 review. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="78031248" title="Oppo Watch review – the best Wear OS smartwatch you can buy right now" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> Major design overhaul with a simpler design philosophy Oppo’s ColorOS skin is known for being starkly different from stock Android. Be it the notifications, status bar icons, or the overall design language, Oppo has offered a highly customized experience. That has changed with ColorOS 11. While it still offers a high level of customization, the out-of-the-box experience is a lot simpler and easier on the eyes. <div type="image" title="Settings panel" msid="79447011" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Settings panel&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The Settings panel has been revamped, and the sections now make a lot more sense. The icons also look a lot more modern and simpler now, making it easy to recognize the menu option. Personalize to your heart’s content The new ColorOS 11 update includes a dedicated menu for customization, called “Personalization.” This includes various options like wallpaper, Always On Display (AOD), icon style, colors, edge lighting, and more. If you like to tweak your device to your liking, you’ll find almost everything here. <div type="image" title="Personalization" msid="79447028" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Personalization options in ColorOS 11&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> If you’re still not satisfied, you can use the Themes app to download new themes. One of my personal favourites is the ability to customize the AOD design. Oppo has included 32 pre-set options, but if you want, you can customize your own too. You can include custom text or create a new AOD using a wide range of patterns. Apart from this, the new update also includes a feature called Edge Lighting. Enabling this feature makes the edges of the phone glow whenever there is a new notification. Oppo offers additional customization options so you can fine-tune it based on your preferences. Dark mode to save your eyes The ColorOS 11 update also includes some interesting options for customizing dark mode. You can not only choose between dark or light modes, but you can even tweak how different aspects behave in either of these two modes. <div type="image" title="Dark Mode" msid="79447043" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Dark Mode options&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> For example, dark mode now has three different styles – enhanced, medium, and gentle. The enhanced mode offers pitch black background, while the other two offer varying degrees of grey shade. You can also allow the wallpaper and icons to adjust to the dark mode. Optimized charging, relax mode and more The ColorOS 11 update also brings some other interesting new features like optimized night charging. This is useful when you tend to leave your phone overnight on the charger. Once the phone’s battery charges up to 80%, this feature suspends charging until you lift your phone the next morning. However, given that many of Oppo’s flagship phones support up to 65W fast charging, you are better off charging the phone when you need to, instead of overnight. Oppo has also updated its Relax app with improved design and more. This is a de-stressing app that helps you relax using a mix of calming sounds. The Gaming Mode feature has been updated, too, with a new “Competition Mode” option. It lets you focus on the game and prevents phone calls and text messages from distracting you. Verdict The new ColorOS 11 update looks a lot professional and clean when compared to ColorOS 7. Oppo has done a great job in removing cartoonish elements in the design that were widespread in ColorOS 7. The performance is also smooth across the system, without any major bugs or slowdowns. However, there is still scope for improvement, especially when it comes to letting apps run properly in the background. The stock ColorOS launcher shows ads in the form of app suggestions, which some users may not like. Overall, though, the ColorOS 11 is a major step in the right direction.

This is the first major step that OnePlus has taken in its transition to ColorOS after the company <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/enterprise/news/oneplus-officially-announces-its-integration-with-oppo/articleshow/83596714.cms">announced</a> that it is merging its research and development department with the latter. Some of the highlights of the new OxygenOS 12 update include reduced information density and bolder text to make it easier to read menus. OnePlus has also subtly reworked the iconography across the operating system, including app icons, indicators like clock, data, Wi-Fi and more. If you’re concerned about OnePlus changing things up too much, you don’t have to worry as most of the core OxygenOS features like gestures, accent colours and more are intact. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="OxygenOS 12 – release date" comment="subhead" text="OxygenOS 12 – release date">OxygenOS 12 – release date</cmsannotation> The OxygenOS 12 public beta is now live for the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro. It is also expected to be available on the rumoured OnePlus 9 RT that is expected to launch later this month. It is worth noting that although Android 12 has been released in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) branch, Google is yet to roll it out for the Pixel smartphones. This could mean it’s not complete yet, so this could cause a minor delay in the final rollout of OxygenOS 12 based on Android 12. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="OxygenOS 12 – eligible devices" comment="subhead" text="OxygenOS 12 – eligible devices">OxygenOS 12 – eligible devices</cmsannotation> <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.5pt;vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">OnePlus 7 </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.5pt;vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">OnePlus 8T </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.5pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">OnePlus 7 Pro </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.5pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">OnePlus 9 </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.5pt;vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">OnePlus 7T </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.5pt;vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">OnePlus 9 Pro </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.5pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">OnePlus 7T Pro </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.5pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">OnePlus Nord </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.5pt;vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">OnePlus 8 </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.5pt;vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">OnePlus Nord 2 </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.5pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">OnePlus 8 Pro </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.5pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">OnePlus Nord CE 5G </td></tr></tbody></table> <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="OxygenOS 12 features" comment="subhead" text="OxygenOS 12 features">OxygenOS 12 features</cmsannotation> Although the current OxygenOS 12 release is still in public beta, OnePlus has outlined some of the major highlights of its upcoming update.

This is a direct pick from ColorOS and will enhance the usability for those who may not prefer the dark mode to be completely black. OxygenOS 12 will let you choose between three modes – Gentle, Medium and Enhanced, with the intensity of the dark background increasing with each mode. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Brand new Shelf" comment="subhead" text="Brand new Shelf">Brand new Shelf</cmsannotation> <div type="image" title="Shelf" msid="86772717" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The new Shelf design&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Shelf has long been an after-thought in OxygenOS, but it is finally becoming a lot more useful in OxygenOS 12. OnePlus has redesigned it with a card layout, with widgets for weather, step counter, data, storage and more. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Private Safe to keep things secret" comment="subhead" text="Private Safe to keep things secret">Private Safe to keep things secret</cmsannotation> <div type="image" title="Private Safe" msid="86772720" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Private Safe and tweaked Zen Mode&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Another interesting addition in OxygenOS 12 is Private Safe, allowing you to hide sensitive photos, videos and documents behind a password. The data stored in the Private Safe is isolated from other apps while remaining personally accessible. Users can keep personal files such as photos, videos, audios, and documents in the Private Safe securely all through one access. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Work Life Balance goes global" comment="subhead" text="Work Life Balance goes global">Work Life Balance goes global</cmsannotation> <div type="image" title="WLB" msid="86772726" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Work Life Balance 2.0&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> OnePlus is expanding Work Life Balance to global markets, allowing you to easily shift from Work and Personal profiles, with customised notification and app access. Another useful improvement is that you will be able to switch profiles as soon as your phone connects to a specific Wi-Fi network. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="New styles in Canvas AOD" comment="subhead" text="New styles in Canvas AOD">New styles in Canvas AOD</cmsannotation> <div type="image" title="AOD" msid="86772729" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Canvas AOD 2.0&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Canvas AOD (always-on display) has been an interesting new addition in OxygenOS 11 and OnePlus is improving it further by making it even more customisable in OxygenOS 12. There are a few brushed line elements you can add to make your phone look like a work-in-progress canvas when it’s locked.

The company’s co-founder Pete Lau and the current Chief Product Officer of Oppo made the <a href="https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oneplus-2-0-the-next-step-of-our-journey.1499131/">announcement</a>. Lau also shed more light on OnePlus’ product line-up going forward, stating that while the flagship phone strategy will continue, the company will launch more “localised” models in the budget segment, as we have already seen with the OnePlus Nord N200, which is only available in the US and Canada. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="OxygenOS is going away" comment="subhead" text="OxygenOS is going away">OxygenOS is going away</cmsannotation> OxygenOS has its fans, and there’s bad news for them – OnePlus is going to kill it come 2022. Lau revealed that both OxygenOS and ColorOS (used in Oppo phones) will now be merged into a single operating system going forward. This update will be rolled out to existing OnePlus smartphones as well, migrating them to the new unified OS. “I would like to tell you confidently that after overseeing the product development of both systems for a year, I believe that the unified operating system will keep the DNA of OxygenOS that many of you love so much, while also giving you an upgraded experience overall,” said Lau in a <a href="https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oneplus-2-0-the-next-step-of-our-journey.1499131/">blog post</a>. Earlier this year, OnePlus <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/enterprise/news/oneplus-officially-announces-its-integration-with-oppo/articleshow/83596714.cms">announced</a> the merger of its software team with Oppo’s and stated that OxygenOS will continue to be the global operating system on their phones. This has changed now. As far as existing OnePlus devices are concerned, a select few will be upgraded to the new unified OS in 2022. OnePlus has not specified which phones will get this update, though. The new OS will be launched alongside the 2022 flagships, so we’re likely 6-8 months away from the launch. To assuage concerns of existing OnePlus users, Lau said that the company will customise the new unified OS specifically for OnePlus devices. He also stated that the bootloaders of OnePlus phones will continue to be unlockable, something that should address concerns of enthusiasts as well.

OnePlus 2.0: OxygenOS and ColorOS to merge into a unified OS starting 2022

New Delhi, Nov 26 () Chinese smartphone maker OPPO on Tuesday said it has integrated 'Digilocker' service into the latest version of its ColorOS operating system as part of its efforts to ensure safety and security of user data.
 The new operating system, which will start rolling out across OPPO's portfolio of devices later this month, also includes a personal information protection option that lets users protect their personal information from third-party apps.
 "The launch of ColorOS 7 with a revamped interface and enhanced features is a testament to OPPO's continued focus on elevating consumer experience. We are constantly listening to our customers and wanted to empower them to experience the ease and convenience of paperless governance," OPPO India Vice President R&amp;D Tasleem Arif said.
 In line with this endeavour, OPPO has become the first smartphone brand to integrate Digilocker service into ColorOS 7 and has come up with a localised feature called 'DocVault', he added.
 A part of the Indian government's Digital India initiative, Digital Locker allows users to store documents like driving licence and Aadhaar card digitally, instead of having to carry these in physical format.
 "We place utmost importance on privacy protection and securing user data. To this end, we have ensured that the user information will be stored and fetched directly from the government server," he noted.
 ColorOS 7 also has a feature where users can say no to an app that seeks access to contacts. In such a scenario, blank contact information is sent to the third-party app and this does not affect the normal operation of the app.
 Arif said another feature that is aimed at enhancing security is the 'private safe' feature in ColorOS 7 that allows users to transfer photos, videos, audio, and other documents to a "secure zone" on the device that is not accessible by any other app.
 OPPO ColorOS Senior Principal Engineer Manoj Kumar said that the team at OPPO headquarters and the India R&amp;D team worked closely for one year to conceptualise and globally implement ColorOS 7.
 The ColorOS 7 update will be rolled out to over 20 phone models in a phased manner from later this month, covering Reno, Find, F, K, and A series.
 Launched in September 2013, ColorOS has over 300 million users globally. SR RVK

OPPO integrates Digilocker service into ColorOS 7

<ul><li>Oppo Reno 11 Pro features a 50MP triple camera set-up</li><li>The device is powered by Mediatek Dimensity 8200 SoC</li><li>Offered in a single variant it is priced at ₹39,999</li></ul>2024 has started with a bang for the smartphone market especially for the mid-range segment. After the launch of Redmi Note 13 series, Oppo has now played its turn with the new Reno 11 series. Perhaps the most famous product from the brand Reno devices enjoys a cult following. To the point that I have been stopped twice in my last week of testing enquiring about the product. Fascinatingly once in Goa and then in Delhi. I have tested the last two generations of Reno Pro devices. Reno 11 Pro seems like the culmination of the progress I have seen over the last two years. So is this the ultimate Reno device? And how does it stand against the heavy weights in its category like <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/redmi-note-13-pro-review-a-new-mid-range-fighter/articleshow/106617001.cms">Redmi Note 13 Pro+</a>. I will tell you in my detailed review. Price &amp; Availability Oppo Reno 11 Pro is available in a single variant that packs in 12GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage. It is priced at ₹39,999. Design <div type="image" title="Pearl white color on the Reno 11 Pro looks &amp;amp; feels premium." msid="106691270" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Pearl white color on the Reno 11 Pro looks &amp;amp;amp; feels premium.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Oppo Reno 11 Pro’s sports the fundamentals we associate with a Reno device. It’s clean, minimal and lightweight. To the point that it will remind you a lot of the Reno 10 Pro, like it did to me. The form factor is of course similar, but I am not complaining. Considering the new additions here are commendable especially in terms of the quality of materials here. The Reno 11 Pro sports a glass back and front, with particularly the ‘Pearl White’ color standing out. I am usually not a big fan of patterns on a smartphone but the back on Reno 11 Pro has been executed beautifully. It has a matte finish to it which also encourages you to let go of a case. However, be careful since you do not want to drop it. I wish the phone also supported wireless charging considering brands like Nothing are now doing it at this price segment. <div type="image" title="Reno 11 Pro sports a sleek profile." msid="106691367" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Reno 11 Pro sports a sleek profile.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Moving on the back also houses the massive camera set-up housing three camera sensors here. While I am definitely impressed by the cameras I am not happy with the orientation here. Placed vertically the camera bump stands out like a sore thumb and tends to break away from the minimal design we enjoy on the rest of the smartphone. Oppo has tried to compensate by giving it a silver finish with toothed edges. And yet I have not been able to wrap my head around it. Beyond that the design carries familiar elements. We have the volume rockers and power button on the right edge, and yes they are tactile. At the bottom we have the Type-C charging port next to the SIM card slot and speaker grill. The smartphone supports 2 micro SIMs. On top we have the rejuvenated IR blaster here, a feature which has made a comeback in a big way across devices. And yes it's more useful than you can imagine. A universal remote in your pocket? I can vouch for that. It’s not unique to Oppo though for that matter Reno 11 Pro is the third device this year I have seen this on. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/vivo-x100-pro-review-peak-camera-performance/articleshow/106456535.cms">Vivo X100 Pro </a>&amp; Redmi Note 13 Pro+ had this as well. Display The display experience on the Reno 11 Pro is strikingly similar to the Reno 10 Pro, this comes as no surprise since the displays are identical on paper. I am not complaining since the output isn’t bad by any means. But yes it does carry forward its minute yet noticeable weaknesses. The Reno 11 Pro flaunts a 6.7-inch AMOLED display boasting a screen resolution of 2412X1080 Pixels, showcasing a brightness reaching up to 950 Nits. The peak brightness is also similar to last year's Pro variant. Whether you're engrossed in content or merely glancing at the always-on screen, this luminous panel offers ease on the eyes, even under direct sunlight. With crisp details, natural colors, and a curved display that enhances the overall viewing experience, it's a standout feature. However, Redmi Note 13 Pro+ at a lower price offers a brighter display with 1800 nits of peak brightness. And you will notice the difference between the two devices especially while watching content and at bright outdoors. Oppo's implementation of the always-on display deserves praise. Its customisable and the wallpaper options are also commendable. However, as with curved screens, occasional mistouches remain a slight inconvenience. Despite its excellent execution, inadvertent touches leading to accidental app openings or difficulties with the volume slider in portrait mode are minor trade-offs. The display seamlessly integrates an optical fingerprint scanner. While it takes a split second to unlock the device, its consistent performance without misses is commendable. The screen truly shines in the viewing experience, especially when coupled with the 120Hz refresh rate. The standard 120Hz refresh rate offers a smoother experience for gaming and content consumption, flawlessly delivered by the Reno 11 Pro. While switching between the standard 60Hz and 120Hz may cause a slight lag, the superior visual experience compensates for it. The bright, color-accurate panel is a delight, supporting HDR 10 &amp; 10+ for HD content on OTT apps like Disney Plus Hotstar. For instance, watching What If Season 3 on the platform provides a diverse range to evaluate the display quality, from bright outdoor scenes to dark indoors. Fortunately, the Reno 11 Pro excels in these tests. The display maintains accuracy throughout, showcasing deep blacks and minimal light leakage. For content consumption enthusiasts, the Reno 11 Pro stands out. That being said, the auto brightness feature here is out of sync while watching content. With the phone really dimming down when it's not necessary. So I preferred keeping the auto brightness off throughout the day. Oppo has also prioritized sound quality, evident in the stereo speaker setup that delivers loud audio output with retained detail even at lower volume levels, albeit with potential detail loss in super volume mode. Software The Oppo Reno 11 Pro arrives with Android 14 out of the box, showcasing the ColorOS 14 skin. While the overall user experience of the skin remains consistent, there are some classic features I should highlight. Commencing with the general features, we see a considerable amount of pre-installed bloatware which stands out. Fortunately we have the ability to uninstall these apps. Notably, there are no questionable app recommendations, which is a positive aspect of the software. Visually, Color OS 14 retains its strengths with vibrant colors and crisp text, offering a user-friendly and easily navigable interface. The array of customization options is extensive, enabling personalization of various screen elements, from widgets to icon designs and color schemes. However, integrating elements from stock Android 14, especially within the drop-down menu, akin to the larger tiles seen in default Android skins like the Pixel 8, could enhance the overall user experience, in my opinion. Setting that observation aside, Oppo promotes ColorOS 14 as a more intelligent operating system with some standout features. Firstly, auto pixelation is introduced, automatically blurring people in screenshots to safeguard their identity. While it may miss some instances when operating automatically, manual blur options directly from the screenshot menu are welcomed. Another feature, Multi Screen Connect, facilitates connectivity between Oppo products like the Pad Air and enables Oppo smartphone connection with PCs. This feature is particularly useful for presentations, although the connection process might take some time. The device also supports fast pairing with Oppo Buds, a feature increasingly common in modern devices, akin to OnePlus devices and Nord Buds using OnePlus Fast Pair. The meeting assistant stands out as one of the most useful features, allowing the device to switch to a mobile network for a stable internet connection during video calls. Tested and proven practical, this feature comes in handy, especially if your router is distant from your seating area. Oppo emphasizes the future-proof nature of their devices, evident in their promised update cycles. The brand commits to offering three years of Android updates and four years of security updates for the Reno 11, ensuring users remain updated and secure over an extended period. Performance Oppo Reno 11 Pro runs on Mediatek Dimensity 8200, a respectable but older chipset. Oppo might get some flack for this decision, however I don’t see any blanket reason to complain. It’s efficient, enables SuperVOOC charging and works in tandem with the camera. Before I explain my experience let's get into some numbers. I ran a Geekbench 6 CPU test on the Oppo Reno 11 Pro. The single-core score for the device is 1220 and the multi-core score is 3516. These are respectable numbers and should satisfy both power hungry and efficient users. This is higher than the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ which scored 1121 and 2630 respectively. As anticipated, the Reno 11 Pro delivers consistent and dependable performance, thanks to the comprehensive package Oppo offers with this device. It boasts 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, more than adequate for most users. While it allows for internal RAM expansion using spare storage, I've yet to encounter a scenario where this feature is necessary. Speaking of performance, particularly in demanding tasks like gaming, I rigorously tested COD:Mobile on the Reno 11 Pro 5G, playing for at least 2 hours daily. Even with settings maxed out at HDR graphics I didn't experience any glitches or frame drops. The sizable 6.7-inch display enhances gaming, facilitating easy enemy detection and elimination. The blend of the high refresh rate and robust SoC ensures a seamless and fluid gaming experience. Compared to the Nord 3, the Reno 11 Pro 5G felt smoother, largely due to the superior SoC. After continuous gaming for about 50 minutes, the phone does warm up, but discomfort becomes noticeable only after the 1-hour mark. However, it quickly cools down, allowing swift return to gaming without significant delays. Efficient RAM utilization in the Reno 11 Pro 5G enables holding applications in the background for extended periods, including apps like Instagram, WhatsApp, and heavier ones like COD: Mobile. Switching between apps is seamless, seamlessly picking up where you left off. This performance isn't limited to gaming; everyday use remains smooth, ensuring general users won't encounter issues. For basic users not heavily into gaming or pushing device limits, the specifications and real-life performance of the Reno 11 Pro 5G might be excessive. With 256GB internal storage (where the system utilizes around 25GB), the remaining 225GB suffices for most users. If additional storage is needed, considering extra cloud storage is an option as the Reno 11 Pro doesn't support external SD cards. Before wrapping up, the battery performance of the Reno 11 Pro 5G deserves mention. Equipped with a 4600mAh battery, it's challenging to drain, especially for light users. Impressive numbers indeed. With casual to heavy usage, I averaged around 7 hours of screen time, encompassing gaming, video calls, and YouTube consumption. For light users, the battery life extends even further, comfortably lasting over a workday. Supporting 80W SuperVOOC charging, the device excels in efficiency. The bundled 80W charger replenishes the battery from 0% to 100% in approximately 35 minutes, even with mobile data turned on. Camera Now the resolution on the cameras on 11 Pro are practically the same but their is a difference in results. Especially the low light performance. With its triple camera setup, comprising a 50MP primary camera, a 32MP telephoto portrait camera, and an 8MP ultra-wide camera, the Reno 11 Pro offers a versatile photography experience. The 50MP camera impresses with its sharp imagery, vibrant colors, and exceptional dynamic range, particularly in bright outdoor conditions. Oppo's algorithm enhances these images, presenting final results that may differ from what's initially seen in the viewfinder. Even spontaneous shots retain detail when zoomed in. Utilizing the dedicated 50MP mode elevates detail and ensures accurate color reproduction. Indoor photography, however, displays limitations, notably in noise and dynamic range, particularly in challenging lighting conditions. Nonetheless, activating the night mode improves performance. The 32MP telephoto sensor impresses with its ability to capture sharp shots indoors and outdoors. Portrait mode excels in edge detection, creating a pleasing bokeh effect around multiple subjects in a frame. The 8MP ultra-wide sensor performs well by maintaining color accuracy without significant deviations. This aspect is crucial for an exclusive ultra-wide sensor, allowing a broader perspective without compromising color integrity. <div type="image" title="Portrait shot samples" msid="106734224" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Portrait shot samples&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> <div type="image" title="HDR in images is spot on" msid="106735423" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;HDR in images is spot on&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> <div type="image" title="Color reproduction from the camera is respectable." msid="106735515" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Color reproduction from the camera is respectable.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> In terms of video recording, the Reno 11 Pro pleasantly surprises with its capability to record 4K videos at 60FPS, complemented by clear audio. This setup proves beneficial for content creators. Ultra Steady deserves your attention here for videos. I have shot a couple of videos with Reno 11 Pro and just with a single tap the videos are super stable making the footage much smoother even from a moving project. <div type="image" title="Improved front camera with added filters add to the selfies." msid="106735531" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Improved front camera with added filters add to the selfies.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> On the front, the selfie camera, a 32MP shooter with Oppo's face filters, handles Indian skin tones accurately in most scenarios. However, it might struggle under specific lighting conditions, resulting in inaccurate colors. The device offers diverse face filters, catering to users who appreciate this feature. The smartphone can now record 4K videos at 30FPS from the front camera. This is a significant improvement over the predecessor, and comes in handy for video creators. Verdict Oppo Reno 11 Pro continues the legacy of what we expect from Reno devices - beautiful camera results, solid battery life and striking design. If you are looking for this trinity then Reno 11 Pro should be on your list. However if you are not a fan of curved displays and want a more industrial look I suggest checking out the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/nothing-phone-2-one-month-review-beyond-the-glyph-interface/articleshow/103242418.cms">Nothing Phone (2)</a>.

OnePlus 10 Pro is rumoured to get 5x optical zoom in addition to a periscope lens
