Under the hood on this 5-inch display sporting device you have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 chipset which has one quad-core Cortex A53 cluster clocked at 1.7GHz and the other quad-core Cortex A53 cluster clocked at 1.0GHz. This is paired with Adreno 405GPU and 3GB of RAM. But we checked with two to three apps as well as in the ‘About Phone’ section and it mentioned the chipset as Qualcomm MSM8939 which is Snapdragon 615 ( the MSM 8939v2 is Snapdragon 616) . So that portion needs some sort of updating.
On the storage front, you get around 16GB of storage of which around 5.59GB is occupied for system storage. Thankfully you can add in microSD card to expand the storage. It runs on Android 5.1 with Oppo’s proprietary ColorOS 2.1 skinning.
It is a single SIM card sporting phone and can take in a 4G SIM card. It supports Wi-fi 802.11b/g/n along with Bluetooth 4.0, GPS with A-GPS. There is a non-removable 2500mAh Li-Po battery.
Display: 7/10
The Oppo F1 comes with a 5-inch HD display with a Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection. This IPS LCD display gives a pixel density of 294ppi. While this may not seem much in our present day era of full HD smartphones at these price points, we feel the display looks quite decent. Colours appear natural with a hint of bluish tinge to it. Pixellation is noticeable only when observing the display from very close quarters. At an arms length it is a non issue. The display is capable of providing good black levels as we observed during our video tests. Overall there are no complaints with the display, but nothing exceptional
