In an event held at the City of Dreams Manila, OPPO Philippines officially launched their newest flagship device, the OPPO F3 Plus.
While the F3 Plus retains most of the design elements of its predecessor, it does offer significant upgrades. It has a larger 6-inch Full HD display, a more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 653 Octa-Core processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, and a 4000mAh battery.
Where the F3 Plus shines the most though, is in the imaging department, starting with the 16MP rear camera which uses an exclusive Sony IMX 398 sensor, and also features Dual PDAF, which increases focusing speed by up to 40% regardless of the lighting condition.
The F3 Plus lets you take better groufies with its Dual Front-Facing camera setup composed of 16MP and 8MP snappers, with the latter sporting a 120° wide-angle lens. The smart facial recognition feature also intelligently detects when more than three people are in a scene, and alerts the user to switch to the wide-angle lens for better quality.
Other features include a lighting-fast fingerprint sensor which unlocks the device in just 0.2 seconds, OTG, and VOOC Rapid Charging.
