OPO claims this phone is the selfie expert the f3 arrived on my doorstep a little more than 24 hours before this video was published so we'll have to test those claims in a future video but cracking this box open we can at least share some first impressions very well packaged and well accessorize - charger cable case the papers will never read and it took me a while to find them but a pair of your buds to boot happy to see these aren't your pod style buds either but proper inner orals also this charger and cabling looks familiar hmm probably just a coincidence and then we get to the phone the only other out boy spent any time with was the f1 plus where we again used it to produce a selfie camera battle the design language is exceedingly similar on the f3 yet another company doing interesting things with antenna oh sorry home let me just there yeah yet another company doing interesting things with antenna bands this pinstriping looks pretty keen and we're in familiar territory for a rounded rectangle though the slightly flatter sides are welcome for holding on to such a large slab of gadget booting up for the first time we get to our setup screens well quick in the login process is straightforward registering a fingerprint on this beast was not my favorite but then we're dropped off into the UI dubbed color OS if the hardware aesthetic might remind you of another manufacturer style the software will to this skin alters Android by removing the app drawer and splitting the notification shade requiring a gesture to switch from toggles to alert not exactly my favorite way to use an Android handset but it's a popular UI in Asian markets this phone is big and it feels big the whole affair powered by a Qualcomm 6 v - last year's top mid-range er chipset we have enough horsepower for UHD video from the 16 megapixel rear camera but no stabilization to speak of the real draw here is the new front camera combo proper separate sensors for a normal and a wide field of view 16 and 8 megapixel cameras respectively I'm not going to lie I like that the normal camera mode for the selfie shooter does not blur my skin all pack in some terrible beauty mode I earned those rekkles and crow's-feet we're happy to see a goodly amount of storage onboard and the older chips that gave us some battery concerns until we saw the four thousand milliamp our cell packed in so that should even outrun time between the hot chip set and the big screen a few small bummers right off the bat though this monster ships with Android marshmallow and on an older security patch I'm not a heavy FM radio user anymore which this phone doesn't seem to support but the lack of an NFC radio will be a mark against for any folks who like quick pairing tap and share or mobile payments all in all it's a well vetted collection of specs but at a price climbing into very competitive territory launching at almost 31 thousand rupee the f3 is priced just above what we can find the one plus 3t and that's also the same range where we expect to see an axon 7 those are tough phones to be unless you're that individual who takes their selfie game really seriously as always thanks so much for watching be sure to subscribe to the channel for more first impressions like these and what say you audience which phone would you most like to see in a selfie battle against the f3 drop a comment down below this video maybe we can make that happen we're pocket now I'm Juan Carlos bag now some gadget guy on Twitter and Instagram and I will catch you all on the next video
