OPPO F3 sets new sales record for OPPO PH, Over 22,000 units sold nationwide in only three days

Global electronics brand OPPO’s newest ‘Group Selfie Expert’, the OPPO F3, blazed through the Philippines with a nationwide sale that began last May 13 resulting in more than 22,000 units sold in just three days. The sale followed the debut of the OPPO F3 last May 4, joining its predecessor the F3 Plus in driving the “groufie trend” or taking selfies with a group, as iconized by the brand.

The weekend sale was spearheaded by roadshows in Glorietta Makati and SM Ecoland Davao along with more than 5,000 OPPO authorized resellers nationwide. At the Makati leg of the tour, O-fans got the chance to catch actress Ella Cruz perform a stunning dance number before joining her in taking groufies with fans during the first-day sale.

The OPPO F3 and F3 Plus both have dual-selfie cameras equipped with an ultra-wide-angle lens to capture a large group of people in one frame. Groufies are also enhanced by OPPO’s Beautify 4.0 software so that users always look their best. Additionally, the F3 series can do “bokeh effect” which further blurs the background of the focused subject for a more dramatic shot.
