Oppo Launches the F3 Plus | Your Selfie Expert UPGRADED

Last March 23rd, we were all treated to the launch of Oppo's latest and greatest.



And yes, even if Alden Richards is one if the greatest beings out there, I'm talking about what Oppo unveiled- the F3 Plus with features that are sure to take our #Selfie Game to new heights.







The F3 Plus is made by Oppo listening to their consumers, and it would seem that with the Philippines as the top 2 consumers of said company's camera features of the F1s known as the #SelfieExpert camera, we all wanted something that can store our memories with the family and barkada better.

The new model, Oppo F3 Plus has 2 front camera lens that helps one to include the whole barkada in your selfie, or take group shots that show the beautiful background as well.

“The F3 Plus was developed for both selfie lovers and photography buffs who want a smartphone that lets them take stunning shots wherever they are, no matter the time of day. Our newest camera phone packs state-of- the-art hardware and software in a sleek body to deliver outstanding performance and style, perfect for the urban lifestyle,” Cheng added.

The difference lies in the additional secondary camera. This 8MP groufie-camera has a wide 120-degree angle—105 percent larger than the regular 80-degree lens field of view— which allows more people to fit inside the frame. The wide-angle shot is also complemented by a 6P lens to minimize distortion.

Ease of use has been carefully designed into the front camera’s functionality to reflect OPPO’s “user- oriented” philosophy. The built-in Smart Facial Recognition, for instance, notifies users to switch to “Groufie” mode when more than three people are detected. This makes the switch from selfie to groufie effortless while keeping image quality stable.





16MP back camera is now powered by a customized 1/2.8-inch IMX398 sensor for fast focusing speed, outstanding noise reduction, and advanced low-light performance—ideal for serious photography.

The sensor has been developed using dual-phase autofocus (DUAL PDAF) technology to double the pixel array area, which is composed of photodiodes that determine the camera’s point of focus. This increases focusing speeds by 40 percent even in less-than- ideal lighting conditions. Together with a large f/1.7 aperture, the sensor enables the rear camera to capture clear and breathtaking photos.

Aside from that, Oppo F3 Plus will be using the solid state finger print reader, which is a fast responsive scan button that can  launch the camera phone as well as read your fingerprint. This Lightning-Fast Touch Access, can unlock the Oppo F3 Plus in 0.2 seconds! Also this new solid-state reader can read  your fingerprint even if the F3 Plus is wet due to rain splash on screen, water droplets or if pasmado at pawisin ka lang talaga.. :D.



Taking it from the developers themselves, I would say that I'm really excited to try this baby out for myself! As a photography enthusiast, my main dud with camera phones is that the depth of field is not as clear as when taking shots with an SLR. I'm pretty much hoping that when I try out this F3 Plus I can finally get that depth that I've been wanting so much hahaha!



As a plus, if you pre-order at Lazada, you get discounts and freebies with the Oppo F3 Plus! <3 The F3 Plus in Gold is coming to the Philippines this April 1 with the suggested retail price of P23,990.

Pre-orders, along with a free Bluetooth headset and a selfie stick, will be available in all OPPO concept stores and selected dealer stores nationwide as well as at the brand’s official online shop in Lazada from March 24 to 31.

Shoppers can get OPPO’s latest Selfie Expert via Home Credit through a nine-month installment plan at zero percent interest. They can also watch out for Globe’s exclusive offer for OPPO F3 Plus, with date and details to be announced soon.
