I'm always skeptical to Oppo's Smartphone lineup. Their Design is too "iPhone". And their customized Android OS is just ugly. And recently, they just launched a new "Selfie Expert" Smartphone. And It is still look like a damn iPhone It is called the F3 Plus, and yes, It is a selfie monster. It has 2 (yes two) front-facing camera, with 16 and 8 MP resolution. It's also wide angle. And the best (or worst) thing, is that, it has what Oppo called as Beauty 4.0. It is essentially a  software that make your ugly face slightly better. Spec wise, It's not really bang for the buck. It only has Snapdragonn 653 processor, 4 GB of RAM, and a huge 6.0 inch Full HD IPS display. Almost forgot, the rear camera is 16MP shooter with F/1.7 and image stabilization. F3 Plus will available on April 2017, alongside a smaller 5.5 normal F3. The prize will be Rp 6.500.000, and will be available in Black and Gold. I'm a bit skeptical about this phone, ...

Apple finally launch its long-rumored iPhone 7 and 7 Plus (PRODUCT)RED. And It looks damn awesome. It's A doff Red, with (unfortunately) Silver Apple logo and white screen borders. Other than that, everything remains the same. You won't find any red EarPod or charger in the box. But the box is amazingly beautiful with red accents. "The Red is Just Awesome" Apple's move on the release of Red version of iPhone 7 will surely boost its already amazing sales. Right now, iPhone 7 is Apple's most successful iPhone in terms of selling. And the best selling smartphone in late 2016 and early 2017. I bet many people who've already bought iPhone 7 will swap for the Red one.
