The Snapdragon 616 is powerful at this price point. Good selfie camera. Decent partmetal design. Fantastic value in some regions.
ColorOS is a terrible Android skin. Disappointing rear camera. Substandard display even for a budget handset. Poor value in key regions like Europe and India.

Lightweight design, Fast performance
No NFC, Navigation keys are not backlit

Nonbacklit navigation keys, Price seems high considering the specs, Gets overshadowed by rivals
In the past, we've derided OPPO for pricing its phones on the higher side, but the OPPO F1 seems to bring a welcome change. That said, at its asking price of Rs 15,990, it still can't match up to rivals as far as pure specs are concerned. And both the One...

Great value, Stylish design, Decent camera
Intrusive UI, Plastic edges, Iffy auto brightness
The Oppo F1 is a top phone for those after a budget handset that most people won't be familiar with, especially as it can pass for something a lot more expensive. Its software may take a while to get used to though...
Responsive device, Excellent camera for $299, Compact and lightweight
Some apps can't get push notifications, Many apps lose their settings after a restart, Inclusion of a menu button instead of a recents button, Fastboot has been removed
Overall the Oppo F1 is telling a somewhat familiar storey, fantastic hardware, for the price, with software that detracts from the overall package. To be clear the inclusion of Google Play Services and a mostly familiar settings interface makes the device...
Great premium-feeling body for the price; Solid rounded specs; Surprisingly impressive battery life; Supports either upgraded storage or two SIMs, dealer's choice; Fast 4G; Screen protector installed to the phone out of the box; Inexpensive;
Screen viewing angles aren't the greatest, and will wash out; Camera needs some work;
Overall, Oppo's F1 really pulls together the value experience, with more technology and a better feeling product at a $299 price point than some phones that cost twice that.Some things could definitely be better, sure, there's no doubt that the screen cou...
