Recently, the company listed the Oppo F3 Plus smartphone on their website with all specifications and images and then removed the listing after getting caught by several online websites. The device listing can still be accessed via a cached view of the listing that shows all the images and specifications of the device.
The Oppo F3 Plus was listed at GFXBench with code name Oppo CPH1613 and features a 6-inch full-HD display that has a 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution and other specs as we discussed above. The company posted a new teaser on their Indian Facebook page today that comes with the Oppo F3 Plus name with a big “F3” and the launch date. The company also confirmed that the Oppo F3 Plus will feature a dual front-facing camera with a 16-megapixel and an 8-megapixel lens.
The company also announced Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone as the brand ambassador for the new F3 series smartphones and she will be participating in the phone’s advertising campaigns and promotions. Commenting on the launch, OPPO Vice President and Managing Director of International Mobile Business, Sky Li said, “At OPPO, product innovation drives everything that we do, and it is our key brand value. The F3 Series will take selfie technology to another level as well as it sets new trends. We are confident it will be a great success and will set a standard that others will follow.”
The Oppo F3 Plus was also spotted showcased in local retail outlets in the Philippines but was not launched at that time. The company has started sending the invite that comes with two circles together hinting towards a dual camera setup for the new devices and with the tag “The New Era of Selfie Expert” along with the 23rd March 2017 launch event date.
