Oppo has been making waves with the launch of its selfie-branded smartphones. It’s safe to say that in a market flooded by noname smartphones of every make and model, Oppo’s ‘Selfie-expert’ branding has managed to carve a niche for itself. Today, we’re expecting the launch of the Oppo F3, a smaller version of the F3 Plus that was launched earlier. You can check out our full review of the F3 Plus here . We’ll be covering the launch live from the show floor and you can find full details in the blog here. The highlight of the phone is expected to be a new dual-camera setup from Oppo. The dual-camera is now on the front of the device and employs two different lenses and sensors. A regular 16 MP selfie-camera captures high-resolution selfies while an 8 MP wide-angle camera lets you squeeze a large group into your selfies. Not much else has been revealed about the smartphone, but various leaks suggest that the rear houses a single 13 MP camera unit. These leaks also indicate the device is running Android 6.0, that it features a 5.5-inch screen and that it will be powered by a Mediatek MT6750T SoC and 4 GB of RAM. The battery is expected to be a 3,200 mAh unit.
