In addition, the dual front cameras carry lot many other interesting features such as palm shutter using which you can click selfies by just waving your hand in front of the camera. The rear camera carries 13MP sensor with technologies such as PDAF, Anti-shake 2.0, and Expert Mode.

Great phone for the price!! Oppo has just crushed the selfie centric phone market in India, Vivo just launched the V5s for 18k but this phone has way better specs than that for only 2k more, sure it is disappointing to see the MTK6750 chip and the android 6.0 in 2017(hope it get updated soon), I was expecting the same SD653 or SD625 chip at best but with other features like 16+8 dual camera setup at front, 5.5″ FHD display with GGlass5 protection and 4GB/64GB memory combination this phone leaves the competition in the selfie centric smartphone market in INDIA far behind!!
It is amusing to see a selfie stick being given as a freebie with the pre order bundle. Selfie seems to be the prime and only focus for Oppo with new smartphones.
The hydrophobic membrane that makes the screen capable of being responsive to touch even with wet fingers, now those are the kind of new features and additions new phones should come out with. This shows that Oppo have the potential to grow and make amazing phones that will be genuinely appreciated. Right now, they seem to be making very conventional phones that will sell well in the market
