If there was ever a term for the opposite of “resting on their laurels,” China smartphone brand OPPO is the complete embodiment of it. Only last month, the company announced and subsequently released a dual-camera OPPO F3 Plus, which turned out to be a hit with consumers, selling over 8,000 units on its first 3 days on sale.
Now, there’s an even more affordable version of the same, sporting the same dual-camera setup up front, but a smaller screen and of course, a reduced price. It’s called the OPPO F3, and it features a 5.5-inch Full HD in-cell touchscreen display, plus a lot of the same highlight features from its big brother, the OPPO F3 Plus. The most interesting thing about it is the fact that its form factor lends itself to a more ergonomic overall experience, which is why it might just end up selling even more in this selfie-crazed world.
We haven’t got the full details yet, but we know that the OPPO F3 comes with a 13MP rear auto-focus camera with LED flash, 4GB RAM, and 64GB storage. The dual-cam thingie on the front boasts a 16MP main sensor, and a Double wide-angle view for selfies with your friends. We’ll update this post with pricing and release info as soon as we get it.

Acer‘s got gaming laptops, ultra-thin laptops, and desktop PCs. But what about 2-in-1 computers? They’ve got those too, of course. The Taiwan PC giant today announced a couple of new hybrid tablet PCs that are set to take on Microsoft’s Surface Pro. They are called the Acer Switch 5 and Acer Switch 3, and both are equipped with 7th-gen Intel Kaby Lake processors as well as LiquidLoop fanless cooling. And as 2-in-1s, they are both compatible with proprietary Acer removable wireless keyboards.

Is there a new “standard-sized” laptop in Acer‘s latest line-up? You bet. After announcing the monstrous new Predator Triton 700 and Predator Helios 300 series, as well as the flagship-level Acer Swift 3 Ultrabook, Acer announced another new model that’s more geared towards the mainstream laptop market. Dubbed the Acer Swift 1, it’s now the most affordable model out of Acer’s Swift series of Intel-powered Ultrabooks.
But make no mistake, the Acer Swift 1 has features that would give many regular notebooks in its size and price range a run for their money. For starters, the Swift 1 features a Full HD 13.3-inch display. It runs on either Intel Pentium or Celeron processors, comes with 4GB RAM, and offers either 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB of SSD or eMMC storage.
The Swift 1 also includes ultra-fast 2×2 MIMO 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and even though it packs in everything it’s got into a 14.95mm thin package that weighs just 2.87 lbs, it can last up to 10 hours of use before needing a recharge. That’s great value for something that’s going to be priced only €399 or a little over around Php 21,000. Expect to see it in June in the following colors: Pure Silver, Luxury Gold, and Sakura Pink.
