Oppo F1s is now promoted as the “expert camera phone! Today let’s have a quick review on Oppo F1s camera. The review is based on real-life shots! Let’s take a look!

Oppo F1s camera on the back: The pros and cons

This is one of the few phones whose main camera offers smaller resolution than the selfie camera. On the back of Oppo F1s, there is a 13MP camera with different shooting modes. The Ultra HD mode allows users to take 51MP images by combining 4 photos together. The HDR modes results in better photos than the ones taken in Auto mode. However, The Panorama mode does quite an average job. The entire exposure and the colors are nice but when you view the photos on computer screen, you will obviously see the lack of details.

The Expert mode, on the other hand, is a nice experience in smartphone photography. This modes allows users to manually adjust the camera settings, including the white balance, the exposure compensation, the ISO and even the shutter speed. This function is not new, as Nokia’s PureView technology already offers the same in Lumia smartphones. But by adding such feature to Oppo F1s camera, Oppo has made the phone more professional and more “expert”.

Compared to its predecessor – Oppo F1 Plus, Oppo F1s camera captures less precise detail (but still acceptable). But instead of the oversaturating issue in previous Oppo device, photos taken by Oppo F1s are quite toned-down and more natural looking. However, the biggest problem of F1s is the auto exposure. In Auto mode, the phone seems confused in deciding which level of exposure is the best. This issue is clearly shown in subsequent shots. Though capturing the same object, each photo appears different from the other.

Oppo F1s camera on the front: the pros and cons

Compared to the selfie shooter in Oppo F1 Plus, Oppo F1s 16MP front camera is better, but there are still rooms for improvement. Though this camera is called the “Selfie Expert”, there are not lots of differences between the photos taken by the front cam of F1s and the ones captured by “non-selfie expert” like Sony Xperia XA or Sony Xperia XA Ultra. However, the new Beauty mode produces better pictures, though too much “beauty” still results in “botox” photos. So overall, Oppo F1s cameras take great photos, but does it deserve so much praise?? It’s a no from me. What is your idea?

Have you ever wondered why 16GB ROM phones are becoming less and less popular in the market? Here are the reasons! Take a look at this article for better understanding!

16GB ROM phones: fail to meet customer’s demand

The first reason is that 16GB ROM phones don’t offer enough space for the OS and applications. Let’s get back to the time when smartphones were new to people. At that time, 16GB ROM is a huge amount of space because the OSs back then were very simple and less space-consuming. But now, Android, iOs and Windows are all very strong in the performance and diverse in functions, hence take up huge storage in the ROM. Apps nowadays are also very heavy because they have lots of features. Mostly the OS and the apps occupy 3/4 of the internal memory.

The second reason is that the multimedia demand is very high these days. People take lots of photos, record many videos. They even download lossless tracks and full HD movies to their phones. 16GB ROM phones without memory card slot in that case will be very disadvantageous! Even if those phones go with microSD card, there is still one drawback: users have to copy the files from the ROM to the microSD card.

The third reason is that currently, smartphone brands tend to eliminate the microSD card slot in order to make their phones look slimmer. But to do that, these phones have to support great amount of internal memory. As a result, 16GB ROM phones are no longer top options of OEMs.

16GB ROM phones: get lost in the competition

Last but not least, 16GB ROM phones cannot stand out in the market! OEMs are rising dramatically. We can count up to 30 smartphone brands in the industry. These brands are competing really hard with each other. Every brand wants their phones to be better than the counterparts. There are even phones with 256GB ROM!  That’s why are 16GB ROM phones are produced less and less. And in the near future, there’s a great chance such phones will no longer exist in the market.

Performance has become a very important measure for smartphones nowadays. Today, we will show you ways to check performance of smartphones, whether it is your current one or the new one you want to buy.

Check performance of smartphones: Antutu Benchmark

Antutu Benchmark is the most popular app to check performance of smartphones. As of now, it has been downloaded more than 10 million times. The app has a very user-friendly layout. The test will include 4 parts: 3D, RAM, CPU, and UX. The time for the whole test varies, between 5-10 miniutes depending on the model. The final score will be the total score of all 4 components. Usually, if the score is above 30,000, the phone can do all normal functions smoothly. If the score is above 60,000, congratulations! You have a powerful smartphone which can do anything!

This app also has a devices ranking, so that you can compare your device’s score with others’. You can also compare you device to a particular device, so you can know what’s better or worse about your phone compared to the other. It also has a device information tab, so you can see detailed specs of your phone. This is a very useful app to check performance of smartphones.

Check performance of smartphones: Geekbench 3

Geekbench 3 is also used to check performances of smartphones, but its tests resemble real-life situations when you use your phone. The interface has two tabs: benchmark and battery. Benchmark will tell you the overall specs of the phone, and battery, as its name suggests, will have details about the battery. Choosing “Run benchmarks” and “Run battery test” will give you results about performance and battery, respectively.

About the benchmark test, which will tell us about performance, there will be Single-core and Multi-core points.
