The Oppo F1 Plus justifies the tag of ‘Plus’ with the addition of multiple features to it compared to the F1, it is surely better than the F1 in multiple aspects with the bigger and better display, a massive 16MP front facing camera and a Fingerprint sensor in the Home button absent in the Oppo F1.
Final Verdict – Which device is better?
You now know how the phones differ, and we aren’t talking about which is better here because we know the OPPO F1 Plus is much better in terms of camera and other inclusions, but it should be your choice based on the screen size and other aspects, including the price, to choose the perfect smartphone for your use.
For example, some might be very specific about the 16-megapixel camera for selfies and that should make the F1 Plus as the easy choice, but then, if the size matters, you know you will have to compromise with the camera part and settle down with the F1, which still isn’t bad with the cameras.
