Camera and aesthetics over specs
Remember OPPO’s promise to unveil a new smartphone line and consequently, a new model under the F series name? Well, the first ever device in that lineup, the F1, is now official in Vietnam. The F1 comes bearing a premium body and a camera-centric feature set, which includes a 13-megapixel rear camera with a f/2.2 lens and an 8-megapixel selfie snapper with a f/2.0 lens. The rear camera has an LED flash but the front camera doesn’t – though OPPO includes a cool selfie mode wherein the display acts like an LED flash.
