According to various reports, it looks like OPPO’s upcoming device would now be a little different from their F line-up. The said OPPO R11 is rumored to have the dual-camera setup placed at the back instead on the front.
During the midst of the popularity of dual-camera smartphones, OPPO released a device that has the same camera implementation, but with a twist – it is placed in front of the handset. The OPPO F3 Plus was the first device from the company to sport two front-facing cameras, which was then followed by the OPPO F3.
Based on an uncovered GFXBench, it looks like the OPPO R11, which has a model number R6051, will finally be running on Android Nougat – a newer operating system than the Android Marshmallow found in the OPPO F3. It is said to have a 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon octa-core processor with 4GB of RAM and an Adreno 510 GPU. This SoC can really outshine the MediaTek processors that are powering its current flagship devices. There’s also 64GB of onboard storage, with 47GB usable for the user.
The exposed data also reveals that the OPPO R11 will have a 5.5-ich display with a 1920 x 1080 resolution. Disappointingly, GFXBench can’t distinguish if a device has a dual-camera setup or not, but it was able to detect a 16-megapixel rear camera and a 20-megapixel front-facing one. Having a large sensor for the front camera, despite not having two of them, shows that this device is still made with “Selfie Experts” in mind.
Other than the exposed GFXBench data, another material has surfaced yet again to further solidify the existence of the upcoming OPPO device. And this time, it’s in the form of a video. More specifically, a leaked TV commercial.

The commercial shows a girl, which is holding the featured device, trying to take a picture of a dancing kid, but struggles due to her short height and the obstructions in front of here. A tall, prince charming-like guy holds the phone for her in a proper height, leaving the lady mesmerized by his looks. The 15-second advertisement ends with the name of the actual device with three product images beside it.

The advertisement confirmed three important details about the device: One, the phone will be really named “OPPO R11”. Next, two the product images confirmed that it will have dual cameras at the back. And lastly, it also showed the two possible color variants: Pink and Gold.
Only a few days after the short ad was leaked, the OPPO R11 was seen yet again in the form of renders. However, this new leaked materials only showed details that were already revealed by the first two sources.
There’s still no word from OPPO regarding about this smartphone. There’s a chance that this can also be the device to debut the 5X camera technology that they showcased at Mobile World Congress earlier this year.
But judging by the intensity of these leaked materials, it’s safe to say that we can expect the OPPO R11 by the third or fourth quarter of this year.
