Editorial report

Oppo F21 Pro technical sheet

The Oppo F21 Pro suits anyone looking for a slim, lightweight phone with a display that stands better than most phones of its time. At 7.5 mm thick, it is among the thinnest, and its 175 g weight is lower than that of most contemporaries. The clearest trade-off is the 4500 mAh battery, whose capacity is lower than that of most phones from the same period.

Its 6.43-inch AMOLED display has 409 ppi, a higher pixel density than most phones of its time, while the 90 Hz refresh rate is lower than most. It also includes Always-On Display and Gorilla Glass 5. The available configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of expandable storage. The Snapdragon 680 runs at up to 2.4 GHz; the listed AnTuTu result is 289,250. The 64 MP camera resolution is higher than that of most phone cameras from its time, and its f/1.7 aperture is among the widest. However, the 1/2.74″ sensor is smaller than those in most phones of the period. Overall, the camera is typical for its time.

The 33 W fast charging is also typical, as are connectivity and overall performance. Android 12, dual SIM, Bluetooth 5.1, and a 3.5 mm audio jack round out the features. The Oppo F21 Pro earns an overall NeoScore of 5.2. It is a fitting option for buyers who prioritize a slim build, a detailed display, and high camera resolution, and are willing to accept a lower-capacity battery.
