Editorial report

Oppo F21 Pro 5G technical sheet

The Oppo F21 Pro 5G suits buyers looking for a slim, light 5G phone with an AMOLED display and high pixel density. Its 7.5 mm thickness and 173 g weight are among the best figures for phones launched around the same time on those measures. The 6.43-inch display has a density of 409 ppi, higher than that of most phones from its time.

The trade-offs are a 60 Hz refresh rate, among the weakest of its time, and a 4500 mAh battery with less capacity than most phones launched around then. Fast charging is rated at 33 W. The rear main camera combines a 64.2 MP resolution and an f/1.7 aperture, both among the best of its time for those specifications; optical image stabilization is absent. This configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of expandable storage. It uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor and runs Android 12.

Overall, the Oppo F21 Pro 5G is typical among phones launched around the same time, with a NeoScore of 5.4. It is worth considering for buyers who prioritize a slim, light design, a sharp AMOLED display, and high resolution from the rear main camera, and who can accept a low refresh rate and a battery with less capacity than most phones of its time.
