Oppo is expected to release the F21 Pro on 12th April and has now unveiled the official design of the handset.
The company revealed that the phone will come in Sunset Orange and Cosmic Black colors. The former features a Fibreglass-Leather design that “doubles as a frameless battery cover to make the phone thin, light, and durable.” The base material used for the smartphone is lychee-grain leather that is waterproof, wear-resistant, and has a plush feel.
The company made sure to fine-tune the faux leather by strengthening its temperature resistance, waterproofing it, and introducing heavy wear resistance.
The leather-like material was subjected to rigorous stress tests using rubbing alcohol, rubber erasers, and denim swatches to ensure its fidelity and durability.
The Cosmic Black color uses the company’s Glow design and with glossy elements.
