Summary of Advantages
OPPO F11:
* Higher rear camera resolution
* Slightly larger battery capacity
* Lower price
Vivo V15:
* Notch-less display
* Corning Gorilla Glass 5
* Larger storage
* Triple rear camera with ultra wide lens
* Elevating selfie camera with higher resolution
The OPPO F11 and the Vivo V15 sport the same screen size, resolution, and pixel count, however, our vote goes to the V15 for having a notch-less design thanks to the elevating selfie camera which gives users a more immersive and distraction-free viewing experience. Also, the V15 has Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
When it comes to imaging, the F11 has the advantage of having a higher main rear camera resolution which is good for users who want the most resolution in their images. However, the V15 proves to be a more versatile shooter for having an ultra-wide lens which is great for scenic shots or group photos. The two also sport depth cameras with the same resolution.
When it comes to selfies, the V15 again has the upper hand for having a higher resolution. As for overall camera quality, we’ll know once we have both units on hand.
And then we have the battery. On paper, the F11’s is larger by a mere 20mAh. Both devices have fast charging technology. We’ll find out which one has the longest battery life once we have the units in for review.
Powering both devices is the MediaTek Helio P70 octa-core processor, Mali-G72 MP3 GPU, 6GB of RAM, and Android 9 Pie. So, we can expect the same level of performance. However, the V15 has a bigger storage capacity which makes it an ideal device for those who have lots of apps to install and files to store.
Lastly, the price, the F11 is at PHP 15,990 which makes it a more attractive option for those with a smaller budget. The V15, on the other hand, is at PHP 17,999. That’s PHP 2,009 more.
So which one to pick? Well, if you want the highest rear camera resolution and have a smaller budget, that’s easy, take the F11. But if you can stretch the budget a bit, and want that notch-less screen, ultra-wide lens, larger storage, and fancy elevating front shooter, then buy the V15.
