The Selfie Expert F1s came with a 16MP front camera and Beautify function apart from a 0.22s lightning-fast fingerprint unlock and good battery endurance - a combination of powerful features desired by the young Indian consumers.

Mr. Sky Li, OPPO Global VP, MD of International Mobile Business and President of OPPO India, said, "India is a priority market for us. We have caught the trend that users, especially young generations like taking photos and selfies by phones. That's why we have invested a lot in offering the consumers high quality camera phones with a strong focus on front camera. Going forward, we will continue investing in photography technology, design and offering the best consumer experience."
