Oppo launched a new photography centrist "fseries" lineup in january, and the oppo f1 its debut offering all the phones that fall under this series will have some sort of unique features that involves camera and what better to kick off the series than a defile-centrist smartphone .
specifications and software
the oppo f1 is one of the few phone in the market with snapdragon processor this new coat-core soc from qualcomm is virtually identical to the now common snapdragon 615 processor but runs slightly higher clock speed to be precise it’s the lower power cortex a53 cores that run at 1.2 GHz rather than 1 GHz on the 615
in additional to this there is 3gb of ram and 16 GB of on board storage support for upto 128 gb microsd card, and 4g volt on band 1, 3 and 10.i terms of connectivity we have wifi /g/n/Bluetooth 4.0 USB otg, fm radio, and GPS there’s no nfc the oppo f1 runs with android lollipop fork called color OS(2.1), which is one of the better looking and functioning custom android forks out there it’s a single layered interface that can be customized with different effects and themes oppo throws in some apps such as SECURITY CENTER for monitoring data usage freeing up memory et.o cloud which let you back up your contact and messages king soft office for working on the documents and spreadsheets and them store for customize the phone.
performance
general performance of this oppo f1 is quit good the interface functions smoothly and apps are responsive during multitasking the phone works well on 4g and it runs cool for most part the only time we found it getting warm was during continuous video playback or when using the camera for video recording call quality is also very good in this devise .
benchmarks showed a slight bump in score over the snapdragon 615 as expected anu tu tu gave us a score of 35531 points while GFX benchmarks returned 23 fps for the T rex world game performance is pretty good and we did’ notice any issues with heavy or casual games such dead trigger 2 asphalt 8.and etc.o average three’s about 2gb free ram available for apps.
moving on to camera the rare camera comes with 13 mp cam and which captures fairly detailed landscapes and macros in daylight even in door shots have good dealing. picture taken in low light tend to get a bit noisy and aren’t very clear.
however the highlight of t oppo is it’s font camera whch is 8 mp shooter wit an even wide aperture than the main camera it manages to capture deatled selfies under natural ad artifical light while the quality dips a bit low light oppo has added a couple of new functions to help people takes better selfies battery life
the oppo f1 lasted 8hrs and 53 min in video loop test which is pretty good for 2500mah battery under regular use with 4g enabled we found ourselves pushing past a little more than a day before needing a charge sady thera is no fast charging support on this phone so topping it up completely longer than we would liked. the oppo is priced 15999which is not bad considering its overally perfrmance it has a lovely design and great build quality generaly performance is good and both the fornt and rear cameras delivery good quality in most lighting conditions battery life is also solid gives the moderate capicaty it would have been nice for oppo to have add some more creature comforts such as NFC either backlit navigation keys which are lacking on f1.
