Global smartphone giant, OPPO Mobile has officially announced its presence in Nigeria with the launch of its 2019 flagship devices, the OPPO F11 Pro and the OPPO F11 Pro Avengers limited edition.
The limited edition is in line with Marvel Studios partnership. This event held at the Oriental Hotel, Lagos over the weekend.
OPPO is ranked top 5 in the mobile phone brand in the world according to the International Data Corporation (IDC).
The company provides cutting edge smartphones to over 200 million people all over the world.
OPPO is popular for its stylish smartphone designs, quality photography experience and the status symbol it provides to its users.
Addressing guests at the event about the brand’s DNA and philosophy was the Marketing Manager, OPPO Mobile Nigeria Nengi Akinola.
She spoke about OPPO’s drive to always deliver products with superior quality, high standard and ‘many firsts’.
She said “OPPO is a brand that is involved in ‘many firsts’ globally and is also expanding in not just making smartphones but also providing superior smartphone technology to every single person all over the world.
“From 5G to internet of things, OPPO is constantly innovative, one of the reasons we are launching the F11 Pro in Nigeria is to mark a major step which is OPPO coming into the market to make a bold statement.
During the product presentation, the brand’s key opinion leaders (KOLs), Anny Robert, a paramount professional photographer, Do2dtun (Oladotun Ojuolape Kayode), popular OAP and Bamike (Bambam) Olawunmi former BBNaija housemate, all came up to speak about their personal experiences with the phone.
After using the phone to take some pictures, Anny described the OPPO F11 Pro as “that device that shoots portrait pictures just like a DSLR camera. The camera quality and its features are second to none, I’ve never seen anything like it on any smartphone. I was impressed with the 48MP+5MP dual rear camera setup, especially the F1.79 aperture.”
“Its performance in low light conditions is very impressive! The camera sensor can increase the area of a single photosensitive unit by four times in low-light conditions, to significantly improve the light-sensing capability and capture more details. It’s an experience you need to have to understand this mind-blowing feat,” he added.
“The OPPO F11 Pro is super fast and is built to give users an outstanding performance; fast charging, not lagging, not heating up while in heavy or moderate use, superior gaming experience, and a long battery life to ensure you’re always in power,” says Do2tun.
Bambam spoke about the beauty of the phone, its unique colour gradient and design, “ever since I started using the OPPO F11 Pro, I always standout anywhere I go, people always stare at it because they’ve seen nothing well designed and as beautiful as this before.”
The event was a good avenue to show the OPPO F11 Pro as a well-rounded phone – beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, one with an amazing camera that shoots brilliant portrait in low light and most importantly a high-performance device with high battery capacity, good RAM and an unbeatable user experience.
The F11 series comes with a 48MP+5MP dual rear camera setup, offers 48MP ultra-clear images, and enables users to take perfect low-light portraits by using Ultra Night Mode and Dazzle Color Mode features with a 1/2.3-inch 48MP image sensor.
The phone features a hidden front camera design that rises when the selfie camera is launched, offering the user a panoramic full screen. It comes in two colour options: Thunder Black and Aurora Green. Users can enjoy a longer battery life owing to 4000mAh large battery, and power-saving optimization, with the VOOC 3.0 flash charging (Voltage Open Loop Multi-step Constant-Current Charging) shortening the charge time by 20 minutes, which means the F11 series can be charged within 80 minutes.
OPPO has optimized the freezing problem by upgrading the CPU, adopting 6G RAM and memory optimization. Also optimized is the overheating problem by applying a thermal conductive grease paste to the CPU and placing aluminum alloy under the screen.
According to Sope Sogbesan (Product Manager, OPPO Mobile Nigeria), he said: “OPPO provides a two-year warranty on the F11 Pro.”
The OPPO F11 Pro is now available for purchase at every SLOT store, Pointek store and other accredited distributors nationwide at a price of N139,000 and N149,000 for the F11 Pro Avengers limited edition.
The Avengers limited edition will be available for sale starting from Wednesday, May 8, 2019. This limited edition will be available on Jumia.
