1. Upgraded fingerprint unlock
2. Dual PDAF Focusing
Aside from the dual thing on their selfie cameras, expect another duo which is from their dual PDAF focusing. According to their teaser, this will gonna bring clearer, more vivid pictures and faster focus. Not sure if this is only for the main camera or possibly the three cameras.
3. The aperture

1. Upgraded fingerprint unlock
The first of the five is from OPPO India's one of their social media accounts. No surprise that the F3 Plus will gonna have a fingerprint reader at the front. We already saw a number of this in other smartphones but how the international will gonna bring something new to the table?
2. Dual PDAF Focusing
Aside from the dual thing on their selfie cameras, expect another duo which is from their dual PDAF focusing. According to their teaser, this will gonna bring clearer, more vivid pictures and faster focus. Not sure if this is only for the main camera or possibly the three cameras.
3. The aperture
In another teaser, expect that the OPPO F3 Plus will gonna sport a camera (or possibly the cameras) with f/1.7 aperture which means better clarity on the pictures.
4. The antennas
OPPO F3 Plus will gonna have that ultra fine six string antenna lines that operates in 6 frequency ranges. From this hint, we are expecting that it will have better reception on it's overall connectivity.
5. VOOC is back
So far, the OPPO F1 Plus was the last available smartphone here in the country that features VOOC Flash charging and the only one so far in the F series. In four days, we will gonna experience it once again on the F3 Plus. Curious if this will have a new and better version.
6. Better groufie in OPPO selfie?
If you read my previous blog post on the official OPPO PH media invite that was sent to us, I had a guess that the OPPO F3 Plus might gonna have the wide-angle secondary camera based on their animated picture. That speculation rose once again in their one of their tweets as they said that you can do a selfie with the whole gang easily
7. OPPO F3 Plus spotted on Geekbench
International tech site Slashleaks got this screenshot from Geekbench which according to it, OPPO F3 Plus was also has another name in OPPO CPH1613. If this is right, expect that it will have a Snapdragon 653 octa-core processor, Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and has 6 inch Full HD display
If you remember that OPPO PH once released the OPPO R7 Plus, the one with 6 inch display. We already knew that some of their celeb influencers that we saw in OPPO F1s launch were there once once again for the F3 and one of those is Ella Cruz. In one of her latest Instagram videos (which she has a contest ongoing to win an F3 Plus) we had this screenshot which she compared the size of OPPO F3 Plus on the rigt to her own OPPO F1s to the left. You can really see the six-string antennas too at the back.
9. The box and more
We saved the best for last so far. Thanks again to Ella Cruz' Instagram page that she had a pic of the box, the phone with protective cover, earphones and the possible VOOC charger (it almost has the same form to the one on OPPO F1 Plus) of the upcoming OPPO F3 Plus. Not clear on the pic if it has still the micro USB or USB Type C. The "selfie expert" tag continues
Well, that gives us more excitement on OPPO's next adventure on their dual selfie camera approach but of course on this blog, we will be discovering more of it once we have either a chance for a hands-on or better yet a review unit soon.
