The manufacturer has not yet announced the price OPPO R11S, but we think that it will cost cheaper than most flagships. The Chisene company always pleased us with high quality products and low prices, so even now everything should be democratic.

There are three big changes coming with OPPO's new R11s compared to this summer's R11. The first is the 6-inch, 18:9 aspect ratio display. There's very little bezel, though the edges aren't quite as curved as they are on the Samsung Galaxy S8 . Overall, this new display looks great.

The Oppo R11s is a great example of what has been going on in the mobile industry over the past six months or so. Soon after the original R11 launched in June, widescreen became the next big thing, Face ID took over from fingerprint unlock and the telephoto camera was repurposed for broader use.

Though they often get lumped in with Huawei and ZTE, Oppo have always had a very particular approach to the smartphone market. They aren't trying to be the best Android handset around.

Better display than base R11; Great performance for the money

Face unlock is weaker than competition; Looks dated when compared to iPhone X

OPPO has long been a favorite in its home country of China, frequently holding the reigns in the top 5 largest OEMs in the country. As such it's expected that their products feature a refined look and feel, with industry setting designs and features.

Killer; thin metal design; Super small bezels; Great AMOLED screen; Ultra fast VOOC charging; Above average battery life; Great photo performance from the camera; Tons of awesome features; Superb full-screen navigation gestures; Truly good pack-in case; Screen protector applied by the factory

Camera video quality can be hit or miss; User interface will definitely be a turn-off for some; Group MMS not working on T-Mobile US; Can't change some default apps; MicroUSB port instead of USB Type-C; Not IP rated for water or dust resistance; Multi-tasking RAM management closes apps too...

When I first got my hands on the Oppo R11s a couple of months ago, the first thing that caught my eye was the screen size. Revisiting it again recently, I was attracted to the large 6.01-incher screen again.

Though they often get lumped in with Huawei and ZTE, Oppo have always had a very particular approach to the smartphone market. They aren’t trying to be the best Android handset around. They’re playing a different game entirely, and their target audience isn’t the same one that HTC, LG and the rest are gunning for.

As an alternative to the iPhone 8, the R11s is easy to recommend - the performance is good, the camera rig is nice, it’s got a compelling build quality and slick feel-factor.

Oppo has played to its strengths once again with the release of its brand-new R11s smartphone with an even better camera, built-in intelligence and an improved and sleeker design.

I want a 6", 18:9, 2160 x 1080, AMOLED screen, the latest dual camera, facial recognition, fast charging and I don't want to mortgage the kids for it. Hell, maybe I want even more like a 6.43" screen! Ray Shaw [email protected] has a passion for IT ever since building his first computer in 1980.

So much phone for so little price

none really; almost flaghsip quality in a mid-range device

Simply put, the R11s is the most impressive handset that Oppo has released so far. Almost everything about it feels premium, even if a couple of things do keep its feet planted squarely in the mid-range.

Premium design; 18:9 AMOLED display; Fastest face recognition ever; Impressive dual camera setup

No NFC chip; Not waterproof; Micro USB port is outdated
