OPPO’s brand new smartphone, the F3 Plus is all about taking selfies to the next level. The newest smartphone by the company offers not one, but two front facing cameras. However, the smartphone is not just about selfies. The OPPO F3 Plus has a lot more to offer to the average user than just beautiful selfies. Let’s take a look at five of the best features of the smartphone.
Dual-front cameras
You cannot talk about the features of the OPPO F3 Plus without bringing up the dual front facing camera setup consisting of 16MP and 8MP cameras. While 16MP camera is used to take a standard solo selfie, the 8MP unit is used for group selfies. That’s because the latter sports a 120 degree wide angle lens, you all your friends will be able to fit into the shot without the need to squeeze together.
Rear camera
While all the attention may be on the front camera, the 16MP rear camera is no slouch either. The OPPO F3 Plus sports a Sony IMX398 sensor, a 1/2.8-inch sensor that Sony developed especially for OPPO. On top of this, the camera has a large f/1.7 aperture lens, which can let in more light. This means that images taken in low light conditions will come out better than other cameras with smaller aperture lenses.
Display
The OPPO F3 Plus sports a large 6-inch display with a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. However, to ensure that the phone isn’t too large and unwieldy, the device features narrow bezels that measure 1.78mm in thickness. In addition, the display is protected with Gorilla Glass 5, which is the latest version of Corning’s series of protective glass. This helps reduce the chances of the display getting scratched or cracked.
Large battery with VOOC Fast Charging
One of the benefits of a large phone is that manufacturers can place larger batteries in them, without compromising on thickness. The OPPO F3 Plus sports a large 4000mAh battery, but the phone itself is 7.35mm thick. On top of this, the smartphone comes with OPPO’s own VOOC Flash Charge technology. This tech lets the user get up to two hours of talktime with five minutes of charging. Another benefit of this technology is that it keeps the phone cool during charging, letting the user play games or watch movies without worrying about overheating.
Performance
The OPPO F3 Plus is powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 653 SoC with 4GB of RAM. The SoC comprises of four Cortex A53 cores and four Cortes A73 cores. The Cortex A53 cores are power efficient cores and are utilised for everyday tasks. For power intensive tasks like gaming, the SoC uses the more powerful, Cortex A73 cores.
