I have purchased this phone with great expectations but it was very below my expectations. 1. Battery gets drain very fast. 2. It's 4 GB RAM but processing is very slow. So pls consider my points before purchasing.

[Edit: Since publishing, Oppo has advised that Australia won't be getting the Dual SIM variant of the F1s. However, we expect it to be available on grey import. We've knocked the value score down a little, but everything else we have said still stands]

Cheap; Good free case; 3-day battery; Fast fingerprint unlock; Looks good and well built; Strong vibrator

Camera can be slow and noisy; Video performance is poor; Slow processing shows in power apps

[Update: A new version of this phone has been launched. Check out our Oppo A57 review.]

At under $350 the F1s is a steal. It has features we'd like to see on top-end phones like fast fingerprint unlocking, free case and a three day battery life. Just beware of the camera performance and processing delay with power apps.

A very good phone for Relance 4G net speed, camera and gorilla glass protection. must buy it. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRHl0PWnddC4YOxjRTOBooA

The OPPO F1s truly shines as its tagline implies. The cameras' image quality does look pretty good throughout, and the overall performance is nothing to scoff at either. Definitely one to consider if you're looking to get an affordable phone with good features.

Design; Selfie camera works great

Slippery to hold

The Oppo F1s is not the best phone you can buy under 20K, but it is definitely one of the best selfie focused smartphones in that price range. The front camera takes great snaps, but if you want a complete smartphone, the Redmi Note 3 and LeEco Le 2 are better options.

Well built; Good display; Respectable battery life; Best selfie camera under 20K

Higher price; Rear camera is not the best

OPPO has managed to improve on the original selfie expert, the F1 with the F1s. It's faster, has better features, bigger screen and way better battery life compared to the original.

All smartphones these days claim to be able to take great selfies, but how many of them are actually equipped with a high quality – instead of a token – front-facing camera that would enable them to do so? The answer is, unfortunately, not many.

Oppo has always had its own way of standing out among the growing crowds of Chinese phone manufacturers and judging by sales reports and fan approval, the OEM seems to be doing at least something right.

Just as a book is easy to judge by its cover, it's only too easy to judge smartphones by their design and their price. A device that looks like an iPhone with an almost dirt-cheap price tag? Gotta be a cheap knock-off coming from China.

Bright and sharp display; Fast and accurate fingerprint sensor; Lives up to its Selfie Expert Moniker; A price tag to die for

No VOOC fast charging; No front-facing flash
