Oppo F3 Plus (4 GB RAM) Specifications
The ‘F Series’ of photography-centric smartphones has made Oppo a popular brand in the country. F1, F1s and F1 Plus from the Chinese handset maker has taken the selfie craze in India a step further and have made ‘Selfie-Smartphones’ a completely different mobile phone category.
In the month of March 2017, it launched a successor to its premium offering F1 Plus with a bigger battery, improved processor and most importantly, dual shooter on the front. Out of the two, the 8MP front camera has a 120-degree lens with a 105-degree field view to take group selfies while the other one, which is a 16MP camera is apt for taking individual selfies. Although it is famously known as a selfie phone, there is much more to this device from Oppo. Let’s delve a little deeper
The Exteriors
• Solid Enhanced Design
Oppo is a brand whose mobile phones never fail to impress the buyers right out of the box and Oppo F3, Plus is no different. It has a metal unibody design with chamfered edges and slim antenna lines at the back. On the front, it has an all-glass design with capacitive buttons for home and keys for multi-tasking and back. The home button also has the improved fingerprint scanner which is certainly one of the selling points of the device.
• Superb Display
Oppo F3 Plus measures 163.6 x 80.8 x 7.4mm and weighs 185 grams. The phone has a 6-inches IPS LCD capacitive display with 16M colours. Its resolution is 1080 x 1920 pixels and a pixel density of ~367 PPI, making it a great device to binge watch your favourite Netflix series and play high-end games. Right from its brightness, sunlight contrast ratio, to the colour accuracy, the device has everything that would ensure a great visual experience.
• Camera Performance
Oppo F3 Plus has a 16MP primary camera with a Sony IMX398 sensor and f/1.7 aperture. Be it daylight or low lighting conditions; the camera does a splendid job of taking beautiful pictures without any noise. However, the main highlight of the phone is its dual front camera. The phone has a 16MP camera with a standard lens and a 8MP camera with a 120-degree wide-angle lens on the front. The cameras come with handy features like touch focus, HDR, panorama, face detection, and geo-tagging.
What’s Inside

For graphics, 653 chipset has the same Adreno 510 which is found in 652 Chipset as well and is widely appreciated for its performance.
• ColourOS 3.0 Operating System
The Oppo F3 Plus runs on the latest ColorOS 3.0 based on Android Marshmallow. But while the Google-built system inspires the OS, the customizations run deep, and it offers a lot more than the standard features offered by Android. The phone comes pre-loaded with a few apps, and you get around 48GB of storage space from the inbuilt 64GB. However, you can use a microSD card to expand the memory up to 256GB.

The phone also has a 3.5mm audio jack at the bottom of the front screen.
Pros and Cons
Pros
• Slick design- The 6-inches smartphone with a metal body looks very impressive. It surely is one of the best-looking smartphones launched this year.
• Great overall performance- The phone has everything that one would expect from a premium smartphone. Right from its processor, design, battery, to the cameras, everything is very exciting.
• Segment-leading cameras- This is the first time that Oppo is offering a dual front camera and the company has clearly succeeded with this new feature. Both, the front and rear cameras are magnificent and work exceedingly well.
• Excellent battery life- The 4,000mAh battery of the phone is great. Combined with fast charging, the battery would never be a problem for most users.
• Good audio quality- Oppo F3 Plus offers good audio output too. Its single speaker at the bottom is loud enough to fill a medium-sized room with good music.
Cons
• No USB C- Most of the smartphones, even the ones priced below Oppo F3 Plus, now ship with a USB C port. The presence of micro USB port is surely a downer in this age.
• Android Marshmallow 6.0- The phone runs on Android Marshmallow, and there is no news currently about the Nougat update.
• No NFC and FM radio- There is no support for NFC and FM radio. But to the phones defence, many of the phones in the same price range do not offer these features.
• Slightly expensive- The phone is a little expensive, especially when phones with almost similar features are easily available at a lower price.
• Hybrid SIM slot- The phone has a hybrid slot and no dedicated slot for microSD card.
