OPPO F21 Pro 4G price in India starts from Rs 22,999 for 8GB RAM + 128GB storage in India.

The phone has average cameras and you will be disappointed with quality, so don't buy this device for just cameras.

[{"selector":"#anim-a620bacc-db66-4271-80e0-8cc0f8c1cfa7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-00b4284f-9808-4044-9633-b0e83a06e4ec","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.51156%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2f126ef5-6e74-4ff9-b4a9-f6a98795e588","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-566b623a-6ed4-400b-a64e-53d7330a1990","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.09434%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The front camera is good but again it doesn't justify the 23k price tag.

[{"selector":"#anim-38e624fc-6d21-4a8e-b04d-31ff7a21a9a2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b6a05f9e-dbf0-4054-acd8-9a8a3a1cbefc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-123.46938%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

By the way, it has 64MP primary sensor + 2MP macro +2MP depth while there is 32MP selfie shooter on front.

The device has 90Hz 6.43-inches AMOLED display, here, no issue with display.

Still, I would have loved to see 120hz refresh but also, the Snapdragon 680 only supports up to 90hz.

So don't buy OPPO F21 Pro 4G for gaming because this chip is not powerful enough to handle heavy games.

So this is 23k smartphone and yes, OPPO has added only single speaker which very disappointed
