The Chinese smartphone company Oppo, had launched the new Oppo F3 Plus selfie-centric smartphone in India a couple of months back and now the company is all set to launch its next selfie-focused F series – the Oppo F3 smartphone in India on May 4 in association with South-Indian film, Baahubali. Upcoming Oppo F3 smartphone looks a lot like the Oppo F3 Plus in terms of design, except the split antenna lines. The Antenna lines on the F3 are placed on top and bottom rear side of the device. In Oppo F3 Plus, we saw the split Antenna line design, so the antenna lines in F3 are more traditional as opposed to the Oppo F3 Plus. Other than that, in terms of design, the device is pretty much similar to F3 Plus.
According to the released image, OPPO F3 will come with very thin bezels. It will also feature the essential fingerprint in an oval-shaped home button below the 5.5-inch HD display. The main highlight of the smartphone is its dual selfie camera setup which includes a 16-megapixel camera for taking selfies and an 8-megapixel camera sensor with 120° wide-angle for better groufie (group selfies). Now ahead of the launch, promotional images and some press renders have been leaked by AndroidPure.
