OPPO F15 Features And Specifications

Design And Build Quality

On the front, you might not find anything fancy except the in-display fingerprint scanner. However, the back panel looks quite different from other mobiles as it has a different glossy texture. It has two colour variants (Black and White), and both look pretty decent from the backside. F15 is a huge mobile, and the exact dimension is 160.2 x 73.3 x 7.9 mm. However, it doesn’t weigh a lot – to be precise; it is 172g.

The important is that you can find Gorilla Glass 5 to protect your screen from getting any scratches. Another essential thing is the 3.5mm headphone jack, which is extinct day after day. Apart from that, it includes USB Type-C for charging. Although it has a plastic body, it doesn’t look or feel cheap. However, a protective case would be preferred any day.

Display

Performance

The performance of a mobile depends on various things, including chipset, memory, GPU, OS tuning, etc. Talking about the SoC, you can find 2.1 GHz Octa-core Mediatek MT6771V Helio P70 chipset in this mobile. Although OPPO has concentrated on the camera more than anything else, they could have included a better SoC. When it comes to the performance of this specific chipset, you might get satisfaction. But, when you will compare it with other same range mobiles, a slight disappointment will come for sure.

Regarding other aspects, you can find 8GB RAM with 128GB of storage in this mobile, which should be enough for gaming and multitasking. For graphics, they included Mali-G72 MP3 GPU, which is pretty good for this mobile. There is one more important thing that plays a vital role to spruce up the performance, and that is the operating system. It comes with Android 9.0 (Pie) based ColorOS 6.1.

The overall performance of this mobile should not bother you. However, if you use it for high-end gaming, you might find some lag, and there are more than one reasons for the expected result.
