Here’s the thing with the OPPO F3 Plus, it looks similar to the very popular OPPO F1s but it has a lot of better features than the latter. Is it bad? No, I don’t think so. I love the design of the OPPO F1s and I believe it is still one of the sexiest Android smartphones that you can get right now. The biggest aesthetic difference that you can see between the two smartphones are the minimal lines at the back and its bigger size.

The OPPO F3 Plus might have the same look on the home button however, it isn’t similar t0 the F1s because this one might have a fingerprint scanner on its home button but you can’t press down the button and yes, it works similarly to the iPhone 7. It’s actually not bad as I get used to it in just a few hours of usage of the smartphone.

One of the best things to love in this smartphone is its display. It has a freaky huge 6-inch Full HD IPS display but it doesn’t feel like that because the smartphone is really handy, also, the curves of the smartphone do feel good to the hand, however, I feel that without the case, I would often drop the smartphone. But thankfully, there’s an included jelly case on the OPPO F3 Plus.

Here’s the best thing about OPPO smartphones, the selfie camera. The brand is known for creating a smartphone that has a good selfie camera thanks to its hardware used in the front camera and also the other features. Well, the selfie camera just got better with the OPPO F3 Plus as this smartphone packs a dual selfie camera. Why two? One is made for selfies the other one is for grouf   ies. And yes, both cameras are great and if you love taking selfies, this smartphone is definitely for you.
