Oppo F1

Under the hood, the Snapdragon 616 chipset pairs with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, enough for basic apps and browsing but tight if you install a lot. There's a microSD slot for expansion up to 128GB, though it shares space with the second SIM. The 5.0-inch IPS LCD runs at 720x1280, which is modest by today's standards but fine for everyday use at this screen size.

Camera-wise, you get a 13MP rear shooter with phase detection autofocus and an 8MP front camera, both handling basic daytime shots and selfies without issue. The 2500mAh battery is on the smaller side, so heavier users will likely need a top-up by evening. Oppo F1 price in Malaysia starts from RM1228, and it ships running Android 5.1 Lollipop.

At 134g and just 7.3mm thick, it's a light, slim handset that's easy to carry around, though buyers should weigh its dated specs against current alternatives in the same price bracket.
