You can pre-order a custom engraved Oppo R11 right now for $699

Oppo has announced that its new flagship smartphone, the R11, will be launching in Singapore on 1st July for S$699, with pre-orders available today at its website. Unfortunately, the larger R11 Plus will not be coming to Singapore.

If enough pre-orders are placed for the phone on Oppo's website, all pre-order customers will be able to unlock 'milestone gifts'. Right now, all customers will receive a complimentary engraving service on the back of their R11. Oppo Singapore has purchased two engraving machines, and the engraving will be done on site at Oppo's flagship store at Suntec City on 1st July. If 300 pre-orders are placed, the first 300 customers will receive a pair of movie tickets, and if 500 pre-orders are placed, the first 500 customers will also receive a pair of Bluetooth headphones. Note that these pre-order gifts are exclusive to customers that pre-order the R11 through Oppo's website.

The R11 is the first smartphone to be available with Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 660 mobile platform. Oppo is focusing on the phone's imaging performance, and the phone features a dual rear camera setup consisting of a 16-megapixel f/1.7 lens and a secondary 20-megapixel f/2.6 telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom.

As the first phone available with the Snapdragon 660, the R11 is also the first to utilize Qualcomm's 14-bit premium Spectra 160 ISP (image signal processor), which Oppo says enables smooth optical zoom, fast autofocus and superior low light photography.

Along with the Spectra 160, the R11 is the first to use Qualcomm's new HVX (Hexagon Vector Extensions) technology, which uses a co-processing unit to drive high-performance, low-power image processing. According to Oppo, HVX supports quicker, parallel processing of matrix image data with less power consumption, to achieve sharper and brighter effects for images captured.

Sean Deng, Managing Director of OPPO Singapore, said: “OPPO is committed to bringing the best technology enhancements in camera phones to Singaporeans. Our flagship model R11, the latest model in our R-series of high performance camera phones, is a step forward in mobile technology to bring users a powerful product that delivers on innovation, speed, state-of-the-art design and an exceptional camera that dramatically improves picture clarity,” he said.
