hello there my name is Gary Sims from andor Authority today we're going to be looking at the Oppo f1 plus now the phone comes with a 16 megapixel front-facing camera that's right a front facing camera is 16 megapixels it's got 4 gigabytes of RAM it's got 64 gigabytes of on-board storage got a fingerprint reader it's got vogue fast charge it's got calling Gorilla Glass 4 it's got a really good set of individual features and the question we're going to ask ourselves is has Oppo mesh to put this together to give us a good smartphone experience well let's find out so when it comes to design really the first thing we have to talk about is the similarities between this phone and the phones by a certain Californian company that use a fruity logo now some of you will doesn't really matter you just don't care for some of you it's a real plus you let design it's really not an issue to you and for some of you it will actually be quite a negative thing it comes down to everybody's personal preference but whilst we could beyond the design language I must say that this phone is really a pleasure to hold it's got a great 6.6 millimeter body that's really quite thin and it's got a good design to it it's got a good feel to it everybody that I've had this to say hey what do you think about this phone they've been impressed by the way it feels in the hand cause you as the consumer it's your choice whether you want a phone that looks like this or not now looking around the phone on the front we have the 5.5 inch full HD display and then the home button the physical home button which has a built-in fingerprint reader at the bottom going around the edges you have the volume rocker on the left hand side and the power button on the right hand side which is just below the SIM tray at the top there's very little except for a small hole for a microphone whereas at the bottom things are quite busy you have this speaker grille you have the micro USB port you have another microphone hole and you have the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack now on the back of the phone you have the Oppo logo and a the 13 megapixel camera the Oppo f1 plus comes with a high-quality 5.5 inch full HD IPS LCD display along with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 the display is bright and works well indoors and outdoors with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 that 5.5 inch display gives you a pixel density of 400 PPI which for a phone in the premium mid-range segment is more than sufficient the viewing angles are good and the bezels are amazing at just one point six millimeters thick the significant lack of basil's gives the display that edge to h feel without incurring the additional costs of maybe a curved screen one of the interesting features of color OS 3.0 on the f1 plus is this eye protection display settings according to Oppo there is research which shows that shortwave blue light can actually be harmful to the eye therefore they have a setting which is able to filter out this blue light and give a display a less jarring more smoothing experience whether that's marketing or science I don't know but I like their thinking now turning our attention to the hardware the f1 plus boasts 4 gigabytes of RAM a fingerprint reader and quick charging the only slight letdown in my opinion is the choice of processor the f1 plus uses a mediatek helio p10 which is an octa-core processor with 8 cortex a53 cores 4 cores are clocked at 1.2 gigahertz and the other four cores are clocked at 2 gigahertz accompanying the CPU is the arm Mali T 860 GPU in this particular one has two cores in terms of everyday use these specs are more than adequate and most users won't find themselves wishing for a different CPU and because of that nice 4 gigabytes of RAM even some diehard power users among you will find the f1 plus more than sufficient however if you play a lot of 3d games go to lots of complex website or use CPU intensive apps then you may find that the p10 isn't quite up to your needs the use of a cortex a53 octa-core processor is also reflected in the benchmarks the Oppo f1 plus scored 876 on geek benches single cortés and 3311 for its multi-core tests now for some context these scores are lower than the octa-core a 53 keyring 9 3 5 found in the mate s lower than the octa-core a 53 Helio x10 that's found in the redmi note 2 and also the single core test is actually lower than the 32 bit Snapdragon 801 as for an - - the f1 plus scored 50 1158 and for Epic Citadel the device managed 42.4 frames per second on the ultra high quality mode if you set the quality down to just high quality then the device does score a very reasonable 59 point four frames per second so though while the CPU seems to be a little lacking is towards the low end of the performance spectrum it does seem that mediatek have made some good choices in the GPU Department the fingerprint reader on the f1 plus is very good it's fast accurate and certainly comparable with the lightning fast and reliable fingerprint scanner on the Huawei mate 8 however unlike the mate 8 which has its fingerprint read on the back you can't wait and unlock your phone just by putting your finger on the reader instead you need to press the home button with your finger which will then wake the phone and at the same time it will unlock it now that's maybe a minor difference but my personal opinion is that it's better to have the fingerprint reader in a separate place rather than on the home button it was any consolation to you the Samsung Galaxy S range and the Samsung Galaxy Note range suffer from the same problem but that's just my humble opinion the f1 plus features a single speaker on the bottom edge next with the microUSB port the speaker is quite loud and the sound is reasonable considering it isn't a front facing speaker as with many devices music can sound a bit thin with a lack of bass the f1 plus has a 2805 the milliamp-hour battery which is amazing when you consider the 6.6 millimeter thickness of this phone now that battery is more than sufficient to give you full day battery life without any problems whatsoever I did some battery tests first I ran epics is a deal to test the battery life while playing 3d games according to my calculations you had to play around four and a half hours of 3d games on one charge now four and a half hours of 3d game playing is quite an impressive number as there are phones out there which don't even give you four and a half hours of on-screen time when you don't even go near 3d so this really is a good sign as for simpler tasks like browsing the web you'll get at least eight hours from a full charge alternatively you could watch eight hours of YouTube video if you stream it over Wi-Fi I did a cool test where I call another phone for 30 minutes and I'm more to the battery life and my estimation is that the f1 plus will give you at least 20 hours of 3G talktime now when it comes to charging that 2,850 million power battery the Oppo f1 plus comes with a Buch charging system and it really is quite fast you can go from 0 to 75 percent in just 35 minutes and according to my testing it takes just under 1 hour and 10 minutes to go from zero to 100% if you're looking for a stock Android experience and the Oppo f1 plus is not for you because it comes with color OS 3.0 which is opposed heavily skinned version of android 5.1 for example there is no app drawer and you have to put all your apps in folders on the homescreen much of the coloring and the UI has also been changed however Android users will find it familiar having said that you do get access to all of Google services including Google Play and Gmail and YouTube so everything you'd expect to find on a standard Android phone is found here color OS also has lots of extra features including on one handed mode and support for gestures there's also support for the fingerprint reader there's a quiet time mode which will mute your device automatically according to the times you set their support for Oh cloud that's oppose cloud service or backing up your contacts and SMS messages and there's even a security center which in a virus scanner and various privacy settings now the rear camera on the f1 plus has a 13 megapixel sensor along with an F 2.2 lens and autofocus overall I've been very impressed by the camera I've used it for close-up selfies and casual snaps both indoors and outdoors and the camera really hasn't put a foot wrong of course the caveat to that statement is that it's a smartphone camera and not a DLSR and no matter how good the camera is it can't capture light that isn't there I was particularly impressed by the indoor photos of course if you push the lighting so no to the extremes you will get lots of noise in the photos in terms of the camera app you get a simple camera interface by default however you can swipe your way into different shooting modes including time-lapse video beauty and panorama you can also tap on an icon to reveal functions like Ultra HD filters gif animation double exposure and expert mode the latter allows you to control the ISO the shutter speed and the white balance however it also lets you configure the camera to save a raw version of every shot taken and that will be saved in the digital negative format plus of course you can manually focus your shots my biggest complaint when the camera app is it doesn't rotate all the UI elements when you go from portrait to landscape although some elements do move many of them remain in portrait mode which is really quite annoying the Oppo f1 plus is very unusual in the fact that its front-facing camera actually has a greater megapixel count than its rear facing camera the front-facing camera has a 16 megapixel sensor along with an F 2.0 lens the software for the front-facing camera has also been upgraded and tweaked there is a new beautify 4.0 mode for smoothing out those wrinkles and covering up those blemishes plus there is support for the new selfie panorama mode which is designed for group shots and so there you have it the Oppo f1 plus got this sleek 6.6 millimeter body thin bezels Corning Gorilla Glass 4 you've got that selfie camera at the front 16 megapixels you've got the fingerprint reader built into home-button you've got vogue fast charging your 4 gigabytes of RAM 64 gigabytes of internal storage in fact is actually got dual SIM support and one of the SIM slots can be replaced by a micro SD card so you can expand the storage by another 128 gigabytes now there are three things you might not like about this phone one is the design language does it look too similar to the iPhone the other is the color OS operating system if you're used to using stock Android then maybe you won't like color OS and lastly there is the processor really I was looking for something with a bit better performance especially when xavier all the extra features like 4 gigabytes of RAM 64 gigabytes of storage that are built into this phone however because of the price point maybe those weaknesses can be overlooked the Oppo f1 plus is available for just 389 euros in Europe and 299 pounds in the UK well my name is
