Why Realme 11 Pro is better than OPPO F23 5G
What's the story
The Realme 11 Pro is now official in the Indian market. The device is aimed at buyers seeking a mid-range smartphone with a premium-looking display, capable primary camera, power-efficient chipset, and a long-lasting battery.
Starting at Rs. 23,999, the phone appears to be a better alternative to the OPPO F23 5G, which was launched recently.
Here's why Realme 11 Pro is preferable.
Design
The Realme model gets an in-display fingerprint reader
The Realme 11 Pro and OPPO F23 5G sport a top-centered punch-hole cut-out. While the former has an in-display fingerprint scanner and looks more premium due to its curved screen, the latter settles for a side-mounted reader and a conventional design.
Dimensions-wise, they measure 8.2mm in thickness, but the 11 Pro is marginally lighter (185g v/s 192g) than the F23 5G.

The handsets support a 120Hz refresh rate
The Realme 11 Pro sports a 6.7-inch Full-HD+ (1080x2412 pixels) 10-bit AMOLED panel with HDR10+ and 2,160Hz PWM dimming. In comparison, the OPPO F23 5G has a 6.72-inch Full-HD+ (1080x2400 pixels) LTPS LCD screen.
Both support a 120Hz refresh rate. However, the Realme model has a higher touch response rate (360Hz v/s 240Hz) and a brighter display (950-nits v/s 680-nits) than F23 5G.
