I love the packaging and the fact that apart from just the usual Charger, USB Cable, earphones, and user manuals, you also get a clear case for your unit.

Well, I guess Oppo took some inspiration from Apple when it decided to design the F3, but again that should surprise us.

The Oppo F3 features a unibody metal design and glass body and packs a 5.5-inch 1080p 2.5D curved glass display, slightly smaller than the 6-inch display on the F3 Plus.

The Oppo F3  fingerprint sensor has also been embedded into the home button on the front, below the display and works really quick.
