Lets first look at Oppo F5’s selfie camera. The Oppo F5 sports a 20MP front camera that has a f/2.0 aperture and takes decent photos in daylight as well as indoors. In low light conditions, thanks to f2.0 aperture and assistance from screen flash, you get some great selfies. The front camera also operates the F5’s face unlock feature.
In comparison, the Vivo V7+ features a mammoth 24 MP selfie camera with LED flash on the front. The camera comes with a portrait mode, a comprehensive beauty mode, HDR, and takes strikingly good images. There is also a “group selfie” mode which similar to panorama shot and produces fairly great shots.
The highlight feature that takes Oppo F5 as an ideal selfie phone a notch over its competitors is the artificial intelligence beauty mode. The beauty mode scans your face and highlights areas like cheekbones and eyes to make the selfies look more beautiful. The AI integration is indeed an addition that makes the Oppo F5 camera a winner. 
Where the Vivo V7+ really outshines the F5 is nighttime selfies. Packing a front LED flash works in favour of the V7 Plus. You can get great photos no matter how dark it is. The photos from the front camera of V7+ are definitely brighter than the F5.
