Oppo F21 Pro’s design process detailed ahead of launch

Oppo is readying to announce its F21 Pro on April 12 and now the brand released official info regarding the design of the upcoming phone. Oppo F21 Pro will come in Sunset Orange and Cosmic Black colors. Oppo’s engineers developed a leather lychee-grain called Fibreglass-Leather. This gives the former a flat-frame design and soft-touch texture back.

Oppo took care to improve the durability and wear-resistance of faux leather’s temperature resistance. Oppo used rubbing alcohol and rubber erasers to test the faux leather material. This was done in order to verify its durability and color consistency.

The black colorway features Oppo’s Glow design, which gives it a matter-feel with glossy elements. Oppo also reveals the Sunset Orange F21 Pro is just 7. 54mm thick while the Cosmic Black variant measure in at 7.49mm. Both feature 2. 5D glass and weigh just 175 grams. Oppo is also teasing a flagship selfie camera experience with rumors pointing to a 32MP shooter. The rest of the rumored spec sheet includes a 6. 43-inch 90Hz AMOLED screen, a Snapdragon 680 chipset and a 4,5000 mAh battery with 33W charging.

Oppo F21 Pro is tipped to launch at INR 22,000 ($290) while the F21 Pro 5G should come in at INR 26,000 ($342).
