Hands-on: Oppo R11 and R11 Plus in the metal

Today Oppo announced the R11 Plus alongside the smaller R11 and we were there to watch it unfold and, as it happens, snap a ton of photos of the two devices.

We wanted to share those photos with you guys so that you can get an idea of what the two new metal-clad phones look like.

The Oppo R11 Plus is the bigger of the two though it has the exact same design as the R11. It packs a 6" 1080p AMOLED and a bigger 4,000mAh battery. Both carry a dual camera setup on the back that consists of a 16MP normal camera sitting behind a bright f/1.7 lens and a 20MP telephoto (or zoom) lens with a smaller f/2.6 aperture.

Despite being the smaller of the two, the Oppo R11 has a respectable 5.5" 1080p AMOLED at the healm. Outside of the aforementioned battery and screen size difference the Oppo R11 carries 4GB of RAM - less than the Plus' 6GB. Both R11 models have VOOC Flash Charge and both use the new Snapdragon 660 chipset.

To give you a better idea of the size of the two phones and their size differences we lined them up next to a 4.7" iPhone 7 and a 6.2" Galaxy S8+.

We're still waiting to find out when and where the Oppo R11 and R11 Plus will become available but at least we had a good look at the retail package the phones will ship in. You get Oppo's VOOC charger and cable plus a pair of headphones.
