Oppo F1 Plus has a 16-megapixel selfie cam
Selfie lovers, take notice: Chinese phone manufacturer Oppo has a new device out, and it has a 16-megapixel front camera.
The Oppo F1 Plus, as it's called, was launched Tuesday at an event in New Delhi. A 5.5-incher with a metal unibody and very thin bezels, it looks like the iPhone and a Samsung Galaxy device had a baby, and we're guessing most potential buyers won't mind.

It also looks really good on the specs front, with an octa-core MediaTek Helio P10 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage (it can be expanded with an additional 128GB via memory cards), a full HD screen, a fingerprint sensor and a 2,850mAh battery.
The phone has a 13-megapixel rear cam and a 16-megapixel selfie cam on the front -- yes, the front camera is actually more powerful, in terms of megapixels, than the rear one. Coupled with a f/2.0 aperture and a number of tweaks that help the camera capture more light, it should result in some pretty great selfies, even in low light conditions.
If all of that sounds familiar, that's because the F1 Plus is basically the same device as the Oppo R9, launched last month in China. The difference is that the F1 Plus will be available in Europe in May, as well as in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and North Africa later this month. There's no word on availability in the United States.
All these goodies come at a surprisingly low price -- €389 in the EU or £299 in the UK. Customers in Europe will be able to order the phone online once it becomes available.
