The design and build quality of Oppo A57 is very similar to the F1S, as the design of both phones is almost the same. However, it is a little better phone than F1S and it is also due to its price being low. The build quality of the phone is still strong due to the metal frame, although Oppo A57 feels made of plastic. The absence of backlit capacitive button in the phone disappoints.

Selfies can be seen with sharp and detailing. However, the pictures taken in less than Oppo A57 write a little scattered. The screen flash is also not very good, so do not expect a very good picture until you keep the phone near your face at all. Beauty mode has a background blur filter.

Our decision
Oppo A57 is a good package at a price of Rs 14,990 and has a lot of Oppo F1S. But talking about the price, it is more economical, which proves to be better than the Oppo F1S. Camera performance is not the best in low light and basic features such as backlit buttons and dual band Wi-Fi. But the good thing is that it gets the same CPU, good build quality and a very good fingerprint sensor.
Apart from this, another reason for buying Oppo A57 compared to Oppo F1S is the mixing of Android Marshmallow. According to Oppo as reported, the Oppo F1S will remain on the lollipop itself. The same thing applies in Oppo A57 not getting Nougat update, but at least it can be said to be new.
If selfie does not matter much to you, then at this price Moto G4 Plus (Until Moto G5 gets into the market) is a better option. ,ReviewHowever, if Aap Oppo F1S is waiting for the price to be low, then Oppo A57 will be better as feature and performance.
