Design
Oppo F1 has two color choices are yellow and rose gold. Our products used in the review is the yellow version. This phone has the size and basic design similar to the Oppo R7 Lite except some small changes on the back and on the side.
front of Oppo F1 completely identical to R7 Lite: slightly curved screen (2.5D) at the edge, the navigation keys situated on the border of the screen and the screen pretty piece. On the back, there is little distinction F1 speaker slot is split into three, pleasingly little more than a long-range speakers in the form R7 Lite. Apart from this point out, the camera and flash phrases still in the same position and slightly protruding slightly.
Another point is that conspicuous bezel of Oppo F1 is no longer the antenna bar again by edging machine plastic rather than metal as R7 Lite. This explains why Oppo F1 thicker body than the R7 Lite (7,25mm and 6,3mm) but lighter (134g and 147g).
When I picked up, annoying problem of R7 Lite is bevelled edges sharp sensation in the hand spikes did not exist on the Oppo F1 again. The edge of this phone more boards, more smooth and impressive sense of comfort, no longer ripple hands. The coupling portion between the components on the machine is doing quite well, articulate, yet there was no loophole.
Overall, nice design with good finishing and feeling comfortable is a public holding of Oppo F1 phone compared to the same price range. This is the first point of the Oppo F1 impress buyers.

In color, although using panel IPS LCD computer screen but manufacturers are tweaking up pretty bold, eye-like looks flattering AMOLED screen. This can be a plus or minus depending on the preferences of each person but many users still prefer the more flattering colors.

Battery life
Oppo F1 with 2500 mAh capacity battery, inadequate compared to the current mid-range machines. In assessing the actual, pretty good machine for the duration surfing activities and watch movies offline, but with activities that require heavy graphic processing to the battery drain faster. In general, battery life may be sufficient F1 needs a day used in the average, less gaming.
Here are the results of measurements of the battery Oppo F1 with surfing activity, watch HD movies on your PC and run the game offline simulator on GFX Bench. Note in the post this measure, we timed the battery from the battery is full 100% to 10% until the stop.
Camera
OPPO F1 using the rear 13MP main camera with a flash and front camera and 8MP. According to the manufacturer, the machine’s rear camera Samsung’s ISOCELL sensors and gate opening f / 2.2, probably similar to the rear camera R7 Lite.
The application interface definition camera interface similar to the iPhone’s camera app. In automatic mode, the machine does not allow users to customize anything but stick to increase or decrease the brightness on the screen. However, the machine also has a manual control mode completely (expert mode) allows users to adjust ISO, clearing light, white balance, exposure time (maximum 16 seconds) and is about focus. In addition, users can select multiple shooting modes like HDR, animated GIFs, panorama (panorama), transplant into larger image 10 images (50MP), double exposure, exposure to capture 16 seconds …
Similarly the R7 Lite units, both front and rear cameras are speed of F1 Oppo capture, processing and focus quite fast, especially when shooting in well-lit environments. The quality, the photos in automatic mode and HDR outdoors with detail and good brightness. In areas of low contrast details are still preserved, with the separation. However, sometimes the white balance was not good enough, making colors more skewed. Such as buses bottom photo, the car’s paint color actually not so bright that yellow is darker yellow.
In low-light environments, photo quality is often poor. Sharpness, details, colors are much reduced image noise and grain, and less clear. Due to lack of optical image stabilization, low light shots prone to vibration, picture blur without holding hands and waiting for the machine to make finished focus.
Front camera of Oppo F1 is 8MP resolution, 1/4 inch sensor and large aperture lens f / 2.0. This camera has no flash, but can use the light from the screen to light up like Flash on the iPhone Retina features. Photographs from the camera before passable level for color, sharpness, fine granularity.

Conclude
Besides aggressive marketing strategy, Oppo has in attracting smart young users to design a compact Oppo F1 stunning, beautiful screen and take a selfie camera quality compared to the products the same price range. Machine with sufficient performance for basic needs without playing serious games and battery life is also quite inadequate.
The most significant drawback of this product is the main camera is capable of capturing low-light white balance was not good and unstable, sometimes causing distorted image color than the actual color. Furthermore, the current price is still quite high.
