While all three smartphones are capable shooters each one just has a little ‘edge’ over the other. My personal preference would be the F3, even when 5k higher than the A57, you’ll have twice the amount of internal storage and a Full HD display plus a wide- angle front camera (though gimmicky) would give you an overall better user experience.
Overall, the Oppo A57 is a great entry for those looking for decent selfie camera phone, especially you could get it for less than its original price in some stores. So which Oppo do you think you should get?
