OPPO F1s Selfie Expert 5.5 inch Review
I originally plan to buy ASUS Zenfone 3 to replace my very old iPhone 4s and Samsung Galaxy S2 and Duos. But at the time when I am looking for ASUS Zenfone 3. I have came accross an OPPO store near our place and learned about their promo offer for OPPO F1s Selfie Expert. They are offering installment payment via Home Credit wihout interest for this made in china phone popularly known as OPPO F1s Selfie Expert. So I decided to look into it, have a little research and have finally decided to buy it.

5.5 inch IPS HD Display
1.5Ghz octa-core processor
Mediatek MT6750 CPU
Mali-T860MP2 GPU

What “I LIKE” about OPPO F1s Selfie Expert:
1: It actually looks like iPhone 6s. I super love it.
2: As of posting, I have not experienced any lags while switching between applications and in gaming.
3: The camera is nice but the zooming image quality is not good. But people who loves taking selfies will love this.
4: You can use 2 sims at the same time. No need to switch.
5: No over-heating issues.
6: Fingerprint sensor is fast.
7: Fast charging
8: Expandable external memory up to 128GB
9: The speaker is located at bottom part of the phone. Which is a good thing for me because sounds will not be blocked when it is placed horizontally on flat surfaces
10: I think the price suits the phone look, feels and specs. It costs P12,999. And I got it on installment basis. LOL.

What “I DON’T LIKE” about OPPO F1s Selfie Expert:
1: It still runs Android 5.1 lollipop (an outdated OS)
2: No update for upgrading to the latest android version.
3: No NFC
4: Sound volume of the speaker is too low.
5: If you have small hands like mine, you will also have a hard time holding this 5.5 inch phone for hours.
6: Not all timestamp in text messaging are displayed. Only appears on the first text message for the day.

Would I recommend it?
As of the time being, there are many phones you could name to be better than OPPO F1s Selfie Expert. But if you just need to upgrade your mobile phone to the latest trend. And all you do on your phone is sending text message, viber, accessing your social media accounts, browsing the internet, downloading movies, music, games and other mobile applications. Then you might consider buying OPPO F1s Selfie Expert. I personally believe that buying high-end super expensive mobile phone is not a good choice. Mobile phone value nowadays depreciates fast as the competition in mobile technology rises. Thank you for reading my review.
