To recap

As a standalone device, the Oppo R11s is one of the best devices the company has produced so far, and one with plenty of great features. Ignoring the rainbow smudges, the screen is technically very good, and fast-charging is a real bonus. Even the software - despite a few annoyances - is fine. The only area that needs real improvement is image processing from the camera(s).
