OPPO F19 Pro Plus review: A worthy camera-centric phone despite some flaws
OPPO has
traditionally been known for its camera-centric smartphones. While
most of its smartphones are centered on all-round
capabilities, it is the company’s F-series that has consistently been developed
around camera-centric innovations above anything else. Fresh in the series is
the OPPO F19 Pro Plus, a midrange smartphone
loaded with OPPO’s exclusive camera features for distinct imaging experience.
Powered by MediaTek Dimensity 800U system-on-chip, the smartphone boasts a
thin-and-lightweight design, punch-hole AMOLED screen, in-display fingerprint
sensor, quad-camera array on the rear, and fast-charge support.
Priced at Rs 25,990, the OPPO F19
Pro Plus seems to have a balanced specifications-price ratio. But is it as good
as it seems on paper? Let’s find out:
Design
OPPO continues to add finesse to its minimal design language by
improving ergonomics. Though the OPPO F19 Pro Plus carries over the plastic
construction of the previous iteration, the upgrades here are mostly around the
form factor and build quality. The OPPO F19 Pro Plus is compact, sturdy and has
a lightweight design that makes it easy to hold and operate. For novelty, it
boasts a frosted glass with matte texture on the back cover.
Though it is not the only smartphone to
experiment with a frosted glass theme, the minimal design and neat rear profile
make it look different, in a good way, from other smartphones. The matte texture protects the phone from
fingerprint smudges and adds some level of protection from scratches too. The
phone’s rear-camera module protrudes, but not so much as to bring a distraction
to the rear profile. Thankfully, the phone comes with a silicone cover that
reduces the camera bulge when applied on the phone. Besides, it also protects
the back cover from scratches. On the downside, the cover adds some weight and
size to this otherwise thin-and-lightweight smartphone.
