TECH NEXT: Unboxing OPPO’s clever new ‘Rising’ selfie cam

The F11 Pro scores on design aesthetics. The device’s unique triple colour gradient (it comes in two shades – Aurora green and Thunder black) looks gorgeous especially under lights. This device is all-screen — you get a 6.5-inch (1080 x 2340 pixels) screen without any clutter. The 16MP selfie cam with AI capabilities is placed on the top centre of the device. OPPO opts for a conventional fingerprint sensor that’s located on the rear of the device — it’s responsive and easy to locate.

The headline feature of the F11 Pro is its rear cam that combines a 48MP lens with a 5MP depth sensor. The phone’s Live Portrait Mode is a key differentiator, we checked out the Night Mode and also shot images without the Night Mode. The results without the Night Mode were surprisingly good. A Mediatek Helios P70 processor is at the heart of this device; it combines with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of Internal storage. The device is quite robust and chugs along smoothly just like the 4000 mAh battery that comfortably lasts a day. We were surprised to see a Micro USB charger but OPPO’s proprietary VOOC fast charging tech is quite effective and should take you from 0 to 50% in about thirty minutes. The F11 Pro scores with its chic design, lowlight photography, bezel-less display and solid battery (Rs 24,999)

Fitbit announced a lighter and more affordable version (Rs 15,999) of its Fitbit Versa that debuted in India last year. The Versa Lite will soon be available for sale in India and features some of the key features that Fitbit users and fitness fanatics find handy. There’s heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking and workout tracking as also standard features like step and calorie counts. You have access to heaps of watch faces too. The Lite does not have an altimeter (so no tracking all the floors you climb) and doesn’t allow you to store music on your watch.

tired of laptops in 50 shades of grey?
