Introduction

The OPPO Reno 11F 5G (CPH2603) arrived on my desk promising a vibrant 120Hz AMOLED display and powerful performance. After weeks of intensive testing, including gaming, video streaming, and general daily use, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. This Middle East version, with its sleek Palm Green finish, immediately caught my eye. Let’s dive into the details.

Key Features

The Reno 11F boasts a stunning 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, resulting in incredibly smooth scrolling and a truly immersive visual experience. The vibrant colors are a standout feature, making everything from photos to videos pop. The triple-camera system, featuring a 64MP main sensor, also impressed me with its capabilities, providing sharp and detailed images. The inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack is a welcome addition in today’s market, allowing for convenient wired audio connectivity.

Other noteworthy features include its 8GB RAM, ample 256GB of internal storage (expandable up to 1TB), and a large 5000mAh battery with fast charging capabilities. The MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor handles multitasking with ease. The Android 14 operating system keeps everything running smoothly. The device is also water and dust resistant, offering added protection.

Performance & Battery

In day-to-day use, the Reno 11F performed admirably. Apps launched quickly, multitasking was smooth, and even demanding games ran well with minimal lag. The 120Hz display was a constant joy to use, adding a significant improvement to the overall user experience compared to standard 60Hz screens. The 5000mAh battery easily lasted a full day on a single charge, even with heavy usage. The fast charging feature is a lifesaver, allowing for quick top-ups when needed.

While the performance was largely impressive, there were a few minor hiccups during prolonged gaming sessions with graphically intensive games where I noticed occasional frame drops. However, this was not a consistent issue and didn’t significantly impact the overall experience. The battery performance was exceptional, easily exceeding my expectations.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Stunning 120Hz AMOLED display, excellent battery life, smooth performance, ample storage, fast charging, 3.5mm headphone jack, water and dust resistant.
• Cons: Occasional frame drops during intensive gaming, some minor bloatware present.

Final Verdict

The OPPO Reno 11F 5G (CPH2603) offers exceptional value for its price point. The vibrant AMOLED display, long battery life, and smooth performance make it a compelling choice for anyone looking for a well-rounded smartphone experience. While a few minor drawbacks exist, they don’t significantly detract from the overall positive impression. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Reno 11F to anyone seeking a reliable and feature-rich device.
