The Oppo F15 is now up for sale in India via online and offline retailers. The smartphone was launched last week as Oppo revived its F series in India. India Today Tech reviewed the Oppo F15 a few days back and found that this is a phone that ticks all the right boxes. In other words, the Oppo F15 seems like a good option for Rs 19,990 but there are some caveats. Caveats in a while, though.

First, let's see what the Oppo F15 offers at its price of Rs 19,990. The smartphone comes with a MediaTek Helio P70 processor, a 6.4-inch full-HD+ display, and a combination of four cameras at the back. If you are looking for a smartphone that is going to be primarily used for photography and selfie shots, the Oppo F15 looks like a really good deal.

The Oppo F15 is priced at Rs 19,990 for the only variant that packs 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The colour options for the smartphone include Lightning Black and Unicorn White. Oppo F15 can be bought on Flipkart, Amazon, and offline stores across the country starting Friday, January 24.

Oppo F15 vs Vivo S1 Pro and Samsung Galaxy M40

As noted earlier, the Oppo F15 looks like a good deal. Here is what we wrote in our review of the Oppo F15.

The F series phones from Oppo have never been about offering the fastest phones with the latest chipsets but they always offer trendy designs along with nice cameras and decent battery life... The F15 is another fine example of that. On the shelves, the F15 will draw attention away from its rivals with its sleek and stylish design, an extremely lightweight and comfy build quality, nice cameras, and a good battery life with fast charging. Consumers will also like the AMOLED display that looks majestic for a phone of its class.

So there you have it. Photography and battery life are the strong points of the Oppo F15. The Oppo F15 has four cameras at the back: a primary 48-megapixel sensor, a secondary 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor with a field of view of 119 degrees, and two 2-megapixel snappers for portrait and monochromatic shots. For selfies, the Oppo F15 has a 16-megapixel front camera equipped with the company’s beautification features. The smartphone is backed by a 4000mAh battery that supports VOOC 3.0 fast charging technology.

Caveats now. Having said that, the Oppo F15 does have a few bits that it lacks. For example, the Vivo S1 Pro offers better battery capacity, something that people who game a lot may prefer. Then, there is Galaxy M40 that offers a similar kind of performance and specifications that the Oppo F15 has but at a lower price. Overall though, the Oppo F15 is one of the best buys under Rs 20,000, so you won't regret it in case you go for it.
