The camera technology inside the upcoming OPPO F3 Plus is a different game altogether

There's no denying the fact that we all love to take selfies. Posting crazy and interesting moments on social networking platforms have become a worldwide phenomenon, all thanks to smartphones we have these days. Keeping in mind the craze for selfies, smartphone makers have gradually started to equip their handsets with powerful front cameras that packs in higher megapixel counts, and deliver better overall photography experience when compared to their rear counterparts.

But that doesn't mean rear cameras are any less required or losing importance in today's selfie-focused mobile tech world. They are equally important for users who keep photography in their highest regard. Such photo enthusiasts deserve a handset that presents the right combination of equally capable front and rear shooters, and that is what we are going to show you today. Have a look.

OPPO F3 Plus: The first-of-its kind dual front-facing camera on a mobile device

OPPO is set to launch F3 Plus, a new 'Selfie Expert' that brings the unique combination of one wide-angle and one standard lens module placed at the front of the handset. While the standard lens bring along the advancements seen in OPPO's previous phones such as vivid depth and minimized noise, the second wide-angle lens gives a larger field-of-view to that a regular front camera cannot achieve. This unique combination takes help from a specially designed customized sensor, which is perfect for group selfies.

Swapping between the wide-angle and standard lens can be done in micro seconds by just tapping on a dedicated software button right next to the camera shutter. Users can snap selfie and 'Group Selfie' photos wherever and whenever as they like.

Now when you know what is the underlying camera technology that's making the upcoming OPPO F3 Plus the one-of-its kind selfie smartphone, let's talk about the camera software features that are equally innovative and impressive.

Selfie Panorama: For perfect Group Selfies

It's impossible to miss anyone in a selfie shot when you have two dedicated technologies working side by side. First, the wide-angle lens at front that captures a good field of view which can already endure everyone in the frame, and second, the built-in 'Selfie Panorama' mode that seamlessly combines three photos into one, making the view even wider.
