Pros:

• Small form factor
• Smudge-proof chassis
• Bezel-less display with decent resolution
• Selfie camera with bokeh effect
• Decent performance
• Triple card slots
• Good battery life and charging

Cons:

• Low 8MP rear camera resolution
• Image quality of front shooters is subpar in dim environments

Smartphone manufacturers today invest in producing phones with impressive selfie cameras. This is because people take selfies from time to time, as seen on social media. Like every smartphone manufacturer, OPPO continues to produce phones with selfie cameras like their mid-range offering – the OPPO F3.

Design

• Smudge-proof coating
• Easy one-handed use

Like its bigger sibling – the OPPO F3 Plus, the OPPO F3 sports a similar design, except for its components under the hood. It looks as gorgeous as the F3 Plus with its metal chassis and thin metallic linings on the edges. The metal-clad back, despite having a smooth finish, can resist smudge and fingerprints. The OPPO F3 is also easy to hold with one hand, thanks to its 153.3 x 75.2 x 7.3 mm dimension and smooth curved edges.

Display

• Thin bezels
• Good display resolution

The 5.5-inch display on the OPPO F3 is topped with an IPS LCD panel. Although it has a smaller screen size than the F3 Plus, it has a bigger pixel density at 401PPI. It produces vibrant colors and nice viewing angles, which are enhanced by the thin bezels. It’s also legible enough for outdoor use under bright environments.

Camera

• Decent image quality in well-lit environments
• Dual selfie cameras with bokeh effect mode

Compared to the OPPO F3 Plus, the F3 is fitted with a smaller 13MP f/2.2 rear sensor. However, it can produce good shots with a decent amount of detail and vivid colors. In dim lighting conditions, the image quality is still good but deteriorates as the environment gets dimmer.

As for its marquee feature, the OPPO F3 has an impressive dual front camera setup with a 16MP primary and an 8MP wide-angle sensor. The former is for high-resolution selfies, while the 8MP wide-angle sensor is for groupfies. One downside though is that the image quality of both front shooters is subpar in dim environments. Although the dual front cameras come with an on-screen flash, it doesn’t help improve image quality.

As for camera features, the OPPO F3 has a slew of options including Beauty, Expert, GIF, Panorama, and Ultra HD for both front and rear sensors. Besides these features, the front camera has an inbuilt Bokeh effect mode when taking a selfie with the Beauty filter.

Performance

• It can handle everyday tasks with ease
• Triple card slots for two nano-SIM cards and a microSD card

The OPPO F3 houses a mid-range MediaTek MT6750 octa-core chipset with 4GB of RAM and Mali Mali-T860MP2 GPU. Compared to the Snapdragon 653 processor on the OPPO F3 Plus, the F3 delivers less processing power with its MediaTek chipset. Nevertheless, it can handle mundane tasks with ease. You won’t experience issues when you play mid-end-graphics mobile games like Mobile Legends even in high settings, although it can get warm at the back if you spend long hours at gaming.

As for connectivity features, the OPPO F3 comes with quite a few yet handy ones such as Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, hotspot, and 4G LTE. It also has dual SIM slots and a dedicated microSD card slot.

Battery Life

• Good battery life
• Above average charging performance

The OPPO F3 sports a 3,200mAh battery which offers decent battery life, lasting a whole day with mixed usage including light gaming, moderate camera use, and social media browsing. When it comes to charging time, the device takes around two hours from zero to 100% battery charge level. This is slightly better than some other phones in the lower mid-range budget segment.

Verdict

The OPPO F3 is a great option for selfie lovers on a budget. While there are some glaring compromises including a mediocre MediaTek chipset and a low 8MP rear camera resolution, it’s not a bad mid-range phone since you’re getting some great components like the premium build and triple card slots.
