OPPO has launched their next batch of smartphone that is focused on takig selfie photos. The F series that has been teased early this month has been introduced first in India.
Much like similar to the launch of R7 and R7 Plus, OPPO made two variants of the OPPO F1 series — the OPPO F1 and the OPPO F1 Plus.
The OPPO F1 has 5-inch display and the bigger brother, as the name suggests, has a bigger screen. The OPPO F1 Plus has 5.5-inch display.
So what’s new with the F1 series?
Looking at the specs, I see nothing spectacular that will make you want to replace your not-so-old OPPO R7 or R7 Plus.
Fone Arena has some original photos and we’d like to share them with you as well.
Let us start with OPPO F1.
OPPO F1 features
The front camera, which is the center of marketing spiel in the F1 series, has 8MP with f/2.0 aperture, with a software feature such as Beautify 3.0. Be prepared for a not-so-real you in photos, but you’ll look good anyway. It has 8 live color filters according to reports, plus you can use the screen as flash light to assist you in taking good photos in low-light areas.
The rear camera has 13MP with f/2.2 opening, features phase-detection auto-focus (PDAF) and LED flash.
The 5-inch HD display has 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection.
The metal alloy body looks similar to the R7 Lite and the storage has the usual 16G with micro SD support up to 128G. The dual-slot SIM is hybrid.
Color OS 2.1 is on top of Android 5.1 Lollipop and running the show is a an Octa-Core Snapdragon 616 processor coupled with 3GB of RAM.
