OPPO has officially launched the F3 Barcelona Limited Edition.
The F3 FCB, as it’s popularly known, has a technical profile that is almost identical to that of the F3. Apart from the FC Barcelona branding, there are a couple of under-the-hood differences.
That said, here is what the OPPO F3 FCB has to offer.
Highlights – Why you should consider buying it.
Design – FC Barcelona Branding
Dimensions: 153.3 x 75.2 x 7.3 mm
Weight: 153g
This is the obvious reason why you should buy the OPPO F3 FCB. FC Barcelona is one of the most popular football clubs in the world.
The OPPO F3 FCB features excellent FC Barcelona branding and it’s not just a device for the die-hard Barcelona fan but can also be an awesome collectible.
Powerful Performance Profile
Operating System: Android 6.0
CPU: 1.5GHz Octa-Core (MTK)
RAM: 4GB
Internal Memory: 64GB
Micro SD: Yes, Expandable up to 128GB
You get a 1.5GHz Octa-Core chipset coupled with 4GB RAM. A powerful setup that is more than what is required to run Android 6.0.
In addition to that, you get 64 GB of internal storage, which is an ample capacity to meet the standard smartphone user storage needs.
Camera – Dual Cameras
Rear Camera: 13 MP
Secondary Camera: 16 + 8 MP
LED Flash: Yes
The OPPO F3 FCB features 16 + 8 MP dual front cameras. The 16 MP camera boasts of a 120 degree wide angle and is optimized for group selfies. The other one is an 8MP camera that can be used for the normal selfies.
In addition to that, you get a 13 MP rear camera for general photography. The Oppo F3 camera packs extra features such as palm shutter and beatification.
What sucks?
Runs Android 6.0
The OPPO F3 FCB runs Android 6.0 out of the box.
This is a flaw since we have around much cheaper smartphones running Android 7.0. With Android 8.0 now available (on some phones) it’s a letdown that OPPO decided to ship the phone with an OS that will soon be outdated.
