A few months ago, Chinese smartphone brand Oppo introduced its new flagship smartphone, the R9. Now, Oppo Philippines just announced that it will be released in our local shores on April 16 but it will be rebranded as the Oppo F1 Plus, which is considered as the big brother to the selfie expert, once it is available in our local shores.
