To recall, the Oppo F3 was launched in India earlier this month in only Gold colour option. Now, the Chinese smartphone maker on Wednesday announced its new Black colour variant of the recently launched Oppo F3 selfie-centric smartphone. The company is all set to introduce its Black Beauty on June 4 (Sunday) in the country. Oppo has shared this announcement on its official Twitter page and Facebook account. The Tweet reads, “The #OPPOF3 Black Edition is coming on the 4th of June. Class will have a new name. Hold your breath!”
The main USP (unique selling point) of the phone is its dual front-facing camera setup, one of the camera is a 16-megapixel standard lens and another front camera stands at 8-megapixel with 120-degree wide-angle lens. Just like the Oppo F3 Plus front camera, “one for selfie, one for group selfie”.
