Paired with the new Selfie Panorama feature, Beautify 4.0 and the front-facing Screen Flash, the Hi-Light Camera will allow users to get the perfect shot on the first snap, anywhere and anytime.
The new Selfie Panorama feature, perfect for capturing group photos, also debuts on the F1 Plus. With a few turns of the wrist, users can take extra-wide 120-degree front-facing photos, as the F1 Plus seamlessly combines three photos and ensures that the whole party makes it into the shot.Rounding out the F1 Plus’s outstanding photography experience is the fast, steady and crystal-clear 13-MP rear shooter. The OPPO F1 Plus MediaTek Helio P10 2.0GHz64-bit Octa-core processor also comes equipped with the world’s first True Bright Image Signal Processor (ISP) engine, for enhanced color resolution and detail.
OPPO F1 Plus has diversified modes like Normal, HDR, Ultra HD, Filter mode, GIF mode, Double Exposure and Professional Mode.
VOOC Flash Charge and Smart Fingerprint Recognition
“Charge for five minutes, talk for two hours” became an iconic slogan for OPPO, driving home the practicality of the exclusive VOOC Flash Charge technology, and helping convince more than 18 million users so far to say goodbye to dead batteries. The F1 Plus, which reaches a 75% charge after just half an hour of flash charging, is set to bring the convenience and safety of VOOC to even more users around the world.
The F1 Plus is OPPO’s first phone to use front-facing fingerprint recognition. It is able to recognize a fingerprint to unlock the phone in only 0.2 seconds. The fingerprint recognition system itself learns the recognition over time; gradually refining its image of the user’s fingerprint and making for an increasingly efficient and smooth unlock process.
New ColorOS 3.0 and 4G Dual-SIM
The OPPO F1 Plus cruises through multitasking with the MediaTekHelio P10.Adding to the smooth and flexible user experience is the smart SIM slot design, which offers a Nano-SIM slot, as well as an adaptable second slot that can accept either a second Nano-SIM or a microSD card for expanded memory. Both card slots support 4G and VoLTE HD voice calls.
The F1 Plus is the first OPPO phone to come equipped with the all-new ColorOS 3.0. With a flat, simple design language, ColorOS 3.0 has a tidy and refreshing new look, and significantly reduces the phone’s built-in image library for increased efficiency. App startup time has also been boosted by 25% compared to ColorOS 2.1.
As the newest addition in one of OPPO Camera Phone’s core 2016 product series, the F1 Plus is poised to bring clear, bright and colorful photos to a wide range of users around the world.
