Opposite F3 Nougat Update Forum Xda ((new)) (2024)

The Oppo F3 (CPH1609) did not receive an official Android 7.0 Nougat update and remains supported only up to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. While unofficial custom ROMs may be explored, the device's MediaTek chipset offers limited options compared to the F3 Plus. For discussions on third-party firmware, visit the Oppo - XDA Forums.

🧠 Why XDA Users Were Frustrated (Interesting Angle)

• Oppo’s ColorOS on Nougat was heavily skinned, with no app drawer (until later versions).
• No kernel source release from Oppo for F3 → developers struggled to fix bugs in custom ROMs.
• Nougat update removed some features (e.g., certain gesture controls) that users liked in Marshmallow.

The general feedback from users on the XDA Developers forum is mixed. Some users are happy with the update and appreciate the new features, while others are experiencing issues and are seeking help from the community. Opposite F3 Nougat Update Forum Xda
