Some things that impressed me are mentioned here:

It is sleek; there is a feel good factor in holding it. The body is made of metal alloy treated with zircon sand surface coating which gives it a velvety metallic feel. Flip it over and you get to see the display screen protected with 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass. It has 5.5-inch Full HD display.  OPPO F1s selfie expert is extra scratch-resistant. There is a smooth micro-arc edge that encircles the phone in a flowing, continuous band. The rounded edge in its design enhances its look multiple times.

Peep into the insides and you will see Qualcomm Snapdragon Octa-core 64-bit processor and 3GB of RAM. You have endless opportunity now for multitasking in daily use. Frankly, I am sold out on that.
