Would the Oppo F1s stand a chance against the mighty Apple machine? This comparison review is one way to find out.

Display-wise, both devices feature a IPS LCD panel, with a 4.7-inch screen for the iPhone 7 and a 5.5-inch screen for the F1s. However, the Oppo device falls short by only having an HD 1280x720 resolution and 267ppi, compared to the iPhone's 1334x750 resolution with 326ppi, thanks to its Retina display.

Both devices feature protective glass panels, with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 on the F1s and ion-strengthened glass for the iPhone 7. The Oppo F1s also has a few similarities with the iPhone's physical design, with the exception of the home button being a rounded rectangle instead of the iPhone's iconic round button.

Furthermore, the F1s is running Color OS 3.0, which makes the Android platform look almost exactly like iOS 10 included in the iPhone 7. However, the system is still under Android Lollipop (5.1), an already-aging Android version by now.

The Oppo F1s has a MediaTek MT6750 octa-core chip inside. Although it features 8 true cores running at 1.5GhZ and has LTE Cat.6 included, the chip is still regarded as an entry-level processor, compared to the Apple A10 Fusion Chip, which is regarded to be the most powerful mobile processor today.

Other specifications of the F1s include a 32 or 64 GB storage configuration with included 3 or 4 GB of RAM respectively, USB On-The-Go, Bluetooth 4.0 and Dual-SIM support - a feature Apple never included in their phones, by far. The F1s is also expandable with an SD card with support for up to 256 GB.

The F1s wins the battery life department by a very large margin by including a non-removable Li-polymer 3,075mAh battery, compared to the iPhone's 1960mAh. However, the F1s does not support any of the current quick-charge technologies, so charging that big battery could be a little longer.

An interesting addition to the F1s is its inclusion of a 16-megapixel front camera. Marketed as a 'selfie phone', the front camera also includes a flash, can record 1080p video and includes GIF and double exposure shooting modes and filters. Although the rear camera has 3 megapixels less than the front camera, its camera app includes advanced options like shutter, ISO, exposure, and the ability to save to RAW format.

The iPhone 7, on the other hand, features a camera that has been improved by Apple throughout the years - hence its stellar rear and front camera performance comparable with entry-level DSLR cameras.

In conclusion, the Oppo F1s can be considered a flagship-level phone with its balanced-yet-impressive features at essentially half the price - the base model costs around $269, compared to the iPhone 7 that starts at $649. The iPhone 7, however, is one of the most powerful mobile machines one can purchase at this time.
