Even the haters would find no way but to fall for the mesmerizing look of OPPO F19 Pro. Ending all the rumors, OPPO has released its mid-range Smartphone F19 Pro in Bangladesh on March 10, 2021. It is the successor of OPPO’s popular F-series phone F17 Pro. Today many OPPO fans are curious about whether F19 Pro offers value for money? Or is it better than the ancestor F17 Pro?  Or, what is the official price of OPPO F19 Pro in Bangladesh? Read our OPPO F19 Pro full review to know the answers!

 

Key Features of OPPO F19 Pro

Design

If you are looking for a stylish phone with a superb design, OPPO F19 Pro will win your heart at first sight! Though this phone comes with a polycarbonate back, it can give you a glass-like feel. Its rear panel is not much fingerprint hungry.

With 7.8mm thickness and 172g weight, F19 Pro holds the pride of OPPO in creating the slickest, lightest, and trendiest phones in the industry. You can easily handle this phone with one hand. However, the predecessor OPPO F17 Pro came with a thinner (7.5mm) and lighter (164g) body.

F19 Pro bears the Power button on its right side. The volume rocker and SIM card slot are placed on the left side. The upper edge holds a secondary noise cancellation microphone. The bottom edge is packed with a 3.5mm audio jack, primary microphone, USB Type-C port, and a single Bottom facing speaker.

Display

OPPO provides a 6.43-inch display with a Super AMOLED panel featuring Full HD resolution (1080 by 2400 pixels), 20:9 ratio, and ~408ppi density. Here you get 430 nits (typ), with a peak brightness of 800 nits.

F19 Pro’s AMOLED panel delivers marvelous color vibrancy and soothing contrast. Here you get a 60 Hz refresh rate, which is hard to accept in this price range. At least a 90 Hz refresh rate was expected. Its Touch response is good.

Not to mentions, the F19 Pro offers a standard display configuration; but we have seen the same specification in the ancestor 17 Pro. It is really disappointing for the OPPO fans that F19 Pro offers nothing new in the display section.

On the left corner of the display, F19 Pro holds a tiny punch-holed camera that won’t distract your views while watching videos. This phone comes with the Wide Vine L1 certification, which is good news for Netflix lovers!

OPPO F19 Pro comes with an under-display Fingerprint Scanner. Though the position of the fingerprint sensor is placed in a comparatively lower position, it works fine.

Rear Camera Series

Like any other OPPO phones, the best features of F19 Pro belong to its camera segment. Though F19 Pro doesn’t offer significant improvement compared to its ancestor F17 pro, still the cameras offer some mind-blowing aspects.

On the rear panel F19 Pro bears quad camera set up. Its 48MP main shooter has f/1.7 aperture. It also has an 8MP ultra-wide camera with 119-degrees field-of-view and f/2.2 aperture. These series also include a 2MP (f/2.4) macro camera and a 2MP (f/2.4) depth camera.

The image quality of its prime rear sensor is fascinating. Its amazing color punch, attractive color-contrast, proper sharpness, and nice details will keep you enthralled. The color tones are mostly close-to-natural. In low-light, the 48MP sensor takes standard quality images displaying proper shadow details without many grains.

Applying diverse creative image processing features in the ‘Portrait’ modes you can generate some attractive social-media ready photos. However, while taking portraits of any human subject, don’t forget to turn off the AI Beauty Mode; otherwise you won’t get natural skin tone in the pictures.

The performance of its 8MP Ultra-wide lens is also wonderful. Under proper lighting situations, the images come with decent color contrast, good details, sharpness, and adequate dynamic range.

The image quality of Micro and Macro shooters are average. Applying some photographic skills and creativity, you can capture good photos with these sensors.

For the Videography with rear camera, OPPO F19 Pro carries some exciting features, like BOKEH mode, AI color portrait mode, etc. In proper light, you can capture attractive videos. The rear prime sensor can shoot maximum 4K videos at 30fps. It also offers options for 1080p videos at 30 fps. Gyro-EIS facility is available. However, OPPO F19 Pro has no option for video recording at 60fps, which is a pity.

Front Camera

On the front side, OPPO F19 Pro comes with a 32MP punch-hole Selfie-shooter with an aperture of f/2.4. However, in the F17 pro, we got dual selfie (19MP + 2MP) sensors which have been reduced to one camera in the successor F19 Pro. It is a good initiative, as you will get less obstruction on the display.

In the latest OPPO F19 smart-phone, the quality of portraits is incredible. However, the AI Beauty Mode tends to smooth the skin tones of human subjects. When the ‘Beauty Mode’ is turned off, the system produces nice portraits with correct edge detection, enough details, and proper color contrast. 

With the front camera, you can capture 1080p footage at 30fps. It has BOKEH mode. The EIS video stabilization facility is also available for shooting videos with the front shooter which is really praiseworthy!

Processor, Memory, and OS

OPPO often faces criticism for prioritizing overlooks and design to performance. F19 Pro has failed to nullify this complaint. Like the ancestor F17 Pro, OPPO brings the same old 12 nm processor Mediatek Helio P95 with the same graphics card PowerVR GM9446. In today’s world many competitors, like Redmi Note 10, are offering better processors at much lower price ranges.

In the software section, OPPO F19 Pro is blessed with ColorOS 11.1 on top of Android 11. Compared to the previous versions this latest ColorOS is well optimized. It also provides a bunch of new features that will deliver an improved user experience. At this point, the New F19 Pro out-shines its predecessor F17 Pro.

OPPO F19 Pro is equipped with 8GB RAM coupled with 128GB internal storage. In the global market, an upper variant of F19 pro is available that features 256GB storage with 8GB RAM.

Like F17 Pro, the 19 Pro is supported by UFS 2.1 data transfer technology. Certainly, UFS technology is better than the eMMC. However, currently, UFS 2.2 is available in the many low-priced competitors like Redmi Note 10.

Performance

For everyday use, OPPO F19 Pro delivers good performances by virtue of the powerful 8GB RAM. Besides this, the ColorOS 11.1 operating system nicely coordinates with the MediaTek Helio P95 Processor. You can smoothly do multi-tasking with this latest OPPO F-series phone.

However, this Phone may not satisfy heavy gamers. In this phone, the PUBG game is by Default suggested playing at ‘High Graphics’, and ‘Balanced Frame Rate’. At ‘HD high frame rate’, you may experience lags, frame drops, poor graphic condition, and heating issues. But you can play smoothly at the default setting. Nevertheless, it is really unacceptable when many contemporary budget gaming phones under 15000 taka allows PUBG gaming at an Ultra Frame rate.

With the F19 pro phone, you can try the other Multi-player games like Call of Duty (COD), Asphalt 9, etc. But the low setting has to be chosen to play smoothly.

Battery

On the battery section, F19 Pro comes with a 4310mAh battery which is slightly upgraded from the ancestor F17 Pro’s 4015mAh battery. On moderate use, F19 Pro can easily support you for about one day.

The box of F19 Pro bears a 30W VOOC Flash Charge 4.0 fast charging adapter it takes around one hour to charge the device fully. However, in charger the F19 Pro offers the same features like F17 pro.

OPPO F19 Pro Official Price in Bangladesh

The 8GB by 128GB variant of OPPO F19 pro is now officially available in Bangladesh for 28,990 Taka. However, the price may change depending upon company policy.

Verdict

Can OPPO F19 Pro out-win its predecessor F17 Pro? When a successor phone is launched, it is expected that some advancement would be provided. But unfortunately, F19 Pro has appeared with the same processor, display, and camera configuration like the F17 pro. In this price-range, lack of high refresh rate is quite depressing.

However, some modification is done in the design, battery, operating system, and image processing features of F19 pro. For regular use, this phone can provide satisfactory performance. Nevertheless, OPPO F19 Pro is not recommended for gaming.

If you are looking for an elegant phone under 30000 taka sporting fabulous design, incredible display, standard battery and magnificent camera features, then you may consider OPPO F19 Pro.
