“Classic” mid-range smartphone benchmarks released in 2024, we compete with the Galaxy A35

We generally don’t expect much from mid-range phones, but OPPO says that this smartphone will be able to perform basic tasks even after 4 years of continuous use. In addition, as we already discussed in the battery chapter, the terminal’s battery would reach 80% health only after these 4 years of use. In theory it will still be functional even then, so although the software support is only guaranteed for 3 years from the start. How are we doing with the benchmarks though?

We work with a processor Dimensity 7050 of 6nm under the hood. It’s a midrange chipset with two Cortex-A78 cores for performance and 6 Cortex-A55 cores for energy efficiency. As a GPU it uses a Mali-G68 MC4, and here we also have 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. OPPO has brought here what it calls the “Trinity Engine” at the software level. Applications take up less space, and the user experience is optimized according to the power required for the tasks performed.

I have to tell you right now that I couldn’t run all the benchmarks, the phone simply refused to install some apps (Basemark, GFC Bench 4.0, PC Mark). The good news is that we have our most important reference benchmarks, namely GeekBench 6, AnTuTu 10 and 3DMark respectively.

We start with AnTuTu 10, where we get 594,653 points, right behind Samsung’s Galaxy A35. I did not expect this and it is quite gratifying. Next to us are models like realme 12 Pro+ and Nothing Phone (2a), but we are beaten by Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G, OnePlus Nord 3, Galaxy A55 5G.

In GeekBench 6 Multi Core we rank above HONOR Magic6 Lite, Motorola Edge 40 Neo, we even beat OPPO Reno10 5G. We are below Galaxy A55, HONOR 90, HUAWEI Nova 11 Pro. As for throttling, after 15 minutes of running the specific benchmark, the phone loses only 19% of performance.

Another good news is that the OPPO Reno11 F 5G does not get hot. I measured a maximum of 41.7 degrees Celsius while running benchmarks, respectively 38.9 degrees while playing. I would remind you that the phone withstands extreme temperatures, between -20°C and 65°C.
