There are so many smart phone brands here in the Philippines with each one specializing on a specific feature. There is one known for curved screens, one that is most impressive when it comes to specs, one known to be the best priced for the common Filipino, one known for its camera… then there is one most famous for selfies. That’s OPPO.
The latest and newest addition to the Oppo family is the F3 and F3 Plus known as the camera sentric phone. Let us discuss the F3 in detail.
First off, the Oppo F3 is lightweight and slim with dimensions of 75.2 x 153.3 x 73 mm and weighs 153gms. It has soft-edged corners with 5.5” screen, 1920 x 1080 screen resolution and 401ppi with Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Oppo F3 also has a high end display and clear screen to view crisp pictures or HD videos. The best highlight of this phone is its dual front camera that is 16MP and 8MP 120degree wide-angle camera and the rear 13MP camera with LED Flash. This phone is most ideal for taking clear pictures either from the front or rear camera, selfie pictures in the front camera and for Groufies! One can also appreciate the high quality pictures in its impressive screen.
Oppo F3 has a CPU Octa-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53, GPU of Mali-T860MP2 and Chipset Mediatek MT6750. In other words, OPPO F3 has the capacity to accommodate memory intensive applications and moderate gaming applications. It is capable of playing heavy graphic videos and memory games with some minor freeze and delays. It is backed-up with a 3200mah non-removable battery that can last a whole day with regular use even if the 4G/LTE is turned on.
To secure your contents (i.e pictures, videos, contacts, and SMS), it has a very efficient fingerprint scanner in its home screen button. Only the registered finger print can open the phone with one simple push of a button. One can also use the regular security locks similar to other android devices if the finger print scanner is not suitable for the user.
Combined with internal 64gb internal storage, one will not find it problematic even if each picture ranges around 2MB+ unlike with other smart phones that only ranges from internal memory of 8gb to 16gb. This also means that besides storing files, it can also store quite a lot of applications. However, the storage of applications might cause random freeze and lags eventually. Furthermore, there is an exclusive slot for expandable memory up to 128gb unlike some brands in which you can only choose between a second sim or an expanded memory.
To match the lifestyle of the Filipinos, dual sim functions are needed so as to avoid the need to buy and carry around two cellphones for multi-network requirements. Fortunately, the Oppo F3 has an exclusive nano sim slots for two.
Overall, the Oppo F3 is a flashy looking mid-sized camera sentric phone with stunning metal finish and compact feel, elegant built/design, and specifications of mid-ranged phones that is suitable for normal to slightly heavy usage of memory and graphics. And if you like taking selfies or groufies, remember this quote: “Behind every selfie is approximately 39 nearly identical photos that just did not make the cut.” Thus – the Oppo F3 is the best for you!
