OPPO has recently launched its newest and affordable selfie-centric smartphone, the OPPO F3, a month after the official launch of the phone's bigger OPPO F3 Plus. Aside from the launch, the Chinese-based brand also announced the top 5 smartphones in the Philippines for the year 2016, where many tech critics feel a bit skeptical about the list.

Anyway, just like the F3 Plus, the OPPO F3's main selling feature is its dual front camera configuration where the 16 megapixel main camera is good for selfies while the secondary 8 megapixel camera has a wide angle lens that is specifically made for groupies. I'm sure that the brand's focus on creating the perfect groupie is starting to become a trend among younger social media users. With that said, here are the specs of the OPPO F3.

- Android 6.0 Marshmallow with ColorOS 3.0
- Mediatek MT6750T octa core processor
- 5.5-inch Full HD IPS capacitive multitouch display
- 4 GB of RAM
- 64 GB of internal storage
- Expandable memory up to 128 GB via microSD card
- 13 megapixel rear camera with LED flash
- 16 megapixel + 8 megapixel front camera
- WiFi/Bluetooth/Fingerprint sensor
- Dual SIM, Dual standby
- 4G LTE/3G HSPA+ connectivity
- 3200 mAh battery

The OPPO F3 will be available in the Philippines starting May 13, 2017 with a suggested retail price of Php13,990.

Meanwhile, during the official launch of the F3, OPPO announced that its F1s is the best-selling smartphone in the country according to market and user experience research firm GfK. Rounding up the company's top 5 best-selling smartphone list are Samsung's Galaxy J7 and J7 Prime, OPPO Neo 7 and LG K5. You may have noticed that there are no locally-branded flagship smartphones on the list which is a bit sad in my case. But, what can you expect from consumers who want better for their own mobile device?
