You might not like it, but it’s selling like hotcakes
OPPO’s latest selfie expert, the F3, was introduced in the Philippines a few weeks ago in a star-studded launch at the Conrad Hotel. And while it’s not the best value-for-money smartphone in the company’s selfie lineup, the F3 still managed to rack up impressive sales figures a mere three days after the official launch.
