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.

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.
