Oppo is one of the largest smartphone manufacturers in the world. Recently, it even surpassed Huawei as the largest smartphone brand in China. With its fantastic pace of growth, Oppo is expected to continue to put pressure on high-end phone makers like Apple and Samsung.

That is because Oppo’s smartphones have attractive, high-end features at a lower cost. With aggressive marketing and advertising, Oppo has hugely benefited from sales in Southeast Asia and India as well as in China. While you may not see high-range Oppo smartphones in Nepal, you have a variety of mid-range and budget-range smartphones to choose from.

Oppo has officially launched the mid-ranged Oppo F19 Pro in Nepal this week. Today, we will be talking about what the phone offers, its official price, key features and availability of this phone in Nepal.

Along with the sleek design, cameras are the main attraction of Oppo F19 Pro. It boasts a quad-camera setup on the back. The primary one is a 48 MP f/1.7 PDAF camera accompanied by other 8 MP ultrawide, 2 MP macro and 2 MP depth sensor.  There is also an LED flash on the side of the camera panel. There are a variety of video and photo features on this phone such as night mode, expert mode, panorama, portrait, time-lapse, slow-motion, text scanner, and Google Lens. There is also an AI colour portrait video mode that lets the subject of your video stand out in vivid colour by changing the background to black and white.

The maximum image size is 6000×8000 pixels. It records videos up to 4K@30 fps and slow-motion videos in 1080p@120fps. The front-facing is a 32 MP selfie camera that can click photos up to 4896×6528 resolution and take videos in 1080p. Another interesting addition to Oppo F19 Pro is it can capture videos with the front and back cameras simultaneously in the split-screen mode.
