Verdict

In the past, we’ve derided OPPO for pricing its phones on the higher side, but the OPPO F1 seems to bring a welcome change. That said, at its asking price of Rs 15,990, it still can’t match up to rivals as far as pure specs are concerned. And both the OnePlus X (review) and the Lenovo Vibe S1 (review) pose serious competition… both are stylish phones, are priced similarly and among other things, offer full HD 5-inch displays.

In the past, we’ve derided OPPO for pricing its phones on the higher side, but the OPPO F1 seems to bring a welcome change. That said, at its asking price of Rs 15,990, it still can’t match up to rivals as far as pure specs are concerned. And both the OnePlus X (review) and the Lenovo Vibe S1 (review) pose serious competition… both are stylish phones, are priced similarly and among other things, offer full HD 5-inch displays. The Vibe S1 boasts double the storage and double the selfie fun (thanks to its dual front cameras), while the OnePlus X comes with near-stock Android interface (since it runs OxygenOS) along with powerful specs like a Snapdragon 801 chip. This makes recommending the OPPO F1 a tough call, though there’s nothing seriously wrong with the phone – it just doesn’t seem as loaded in terms of specs. If you can ignore the specs though and are on the lookout for a stylish, compact daily driver that gets most things right, the OPPO F1 should definitely be in your shortlist… but beyond that, we’ll just have to leave it to personal choice. 

    Pros

  • Stylish design, compact size and solid build
  • Decent camera quality
  • Tons of features in the camera app
  • Decent battery life

    Cons

  • Non-backlit navigation keys
  • Price seems high considering the specs
  • Gets overshadowed by rivals

Design: compact and stylish +

No two ways about it – the OPPO F1 is a nicely designed phone. It ticks most of the right boxes in terms of looks and build, and thanks to its 5-inch display, is quite compact too. The screen size alone isn’t the only factor that contributes towards its manageable proportions though, since its metal bod is also quite slim.

Display: no FHD goodness here +

The 5-inch 720p IPS display isn’t a patch on the 2K screens you can get in flagships these days, but it’s a shame OPPO hasn’t thrown in one that offers full HD, especially considering the asking price. If you’re picky, you might be able to discern pixels and text isn’t as sharp as we’d like, but it can serve up reasonably good visuals and at the end of the day, that’s really what matters.

Software: feature-rich and Color-full +

OPPO’s ColorOS forms the software side of things as usual, with Android Lollipop 5.1.1 as base. The platform hasn’t changed drastically since the last time we saw it, so we won’t be going into full details.

Camera: loaded and capable +

Now shooting prowess has been highlighted as one of the hero features for the OPPO F1, and a look at the available options in the default camera app is enough to tell you why. Hardware-wise, there’s a 13-meg primary shooter, with an 8MP sensor handling selfie duties up front.

Performance: smooth for the most part +

With an octa-core Snapdragon 616 processor and 3 gigs of RAM handling the number crunching, performance is smooth for the most part. Don’t expect fireworks, as the phone doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to get anywhere, but that apart, you shouldn’t be disappointed as far as regular, day-to-day tasks are concerned.
