OPPO F1 Launch & First Impressions

OPPO F1 Launch & First Impressions

 Hi guys,

Last week I attended the launch event of #OPPOF1 and they also announced their association with ICC. They are soon launching F1 Plus too.

Currently the F1 sales start this week. The tagline of F1 goes ‘Bright & Beautiful, Selfie Expert OPPO F1′. And rightly so, this phone has an excellent camera.

Let me tell you a little more about the camera:

Dubbed as the “Selfie Expert”, the F1 features a standout 8 MP front-facing camera with a wide f/2.0 aperture lens and a 1/4-inch sensor, a sophisticated Pure Image 2.0+ photography platform offering OPPO’s Beautify 3.0 feature, OPPO’s patented Screen Flash to make snapping selfies in low-light conditions, and can shoot selfies using hand gestures and spoken commands, ensuring stunning selfies in all conditions.

The F1 also features a 13 MP rear camera with an ISOCELL sensor, the phase detection autofocus (PDAF) with a focus time of just 0.1s, and the anti-shake optimization feature which enables the camera to automatically select the clearest image from a huge buffer of image data the moment the shutter button is pressed.

The F1 is specially designed with powerful software and hardware to make capturing stunning selfies a breeze, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 series Octa-core processor with 3GB RAM and 16GB ROM, all backed by OPPO’s spectacular build quality with a silk feeling metal panel.

It comes with a charger, head phones, two guides and a transparent silicone cover. I am glad they have head phones and cover too, and the head phones are pretty good quality.

Colors available: Rose Gold and Gold

Price: Rs.15990/-

The phone is also 4G enables and is so thin and light, the design is mind blowing. Read more here http://bit.ly/1JeFXYw

I am absolutely in love with the design, it is super thin and very light weight. The dull gold matte finish looks very classy and elegant and it is the lightest phone I have ever used and carried. Plus the four contoured corners are also well designed giving it a sleek look. It also comes in matte rose gold which is again beautiful.

The camera also comes with Beautify 3.0 option which makes your selfies look pretty! The front 8MP camera works even in low light conditions and still gives you pretty bright and clear selfies. The front camera selfie pictures are also all high resolution and crisp.

Here is my selfie taken with the front camera without any filter or Beautify option, it in itself is so bright and clear.

And a pic taken with the rear camera.

The camera and design is excellent and I have not come across a phone as classy looking and light weight as this in this price range yet! I highly recommend checking out OPPO F1, the sales start this week in all major cities and also online.

The best thing about OPPO is they have 30 day replacement period and 24 months warranty which no other brand in India has, I believe coz I have only seen 6 or 12 months warranty majorly.

Do you like the phone and pictures? Have you checked out OPPO phones yet?
