Oppo F3

In the F3, you get a more compact 5.5-inch screen of the same 1080p resolution. It's easier on the hand and the pocket, and adds some extra sharpness too. However, the switch to a less potent Mediatek MT6750T chipset affects its performance. The 13MP main camera is a slight downgrade too, video capture is capped at 1080p and there's a smaller 3,200mAh battery.

Panasonic Lumix DC-GX850

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX850 (known as the GX800 and GF9 in some regions) is the brand’s most compact interchangeable lens camera (as of Spring 2017) and uses the same 16MP Four Thirds sensor as several of its siblings. Sold kitted with a 12-32mm collapsible zoom, stand-out features include a 180-degree flip-up touch LCD, Panasonic's excellent Depth-from-Defocus AF and 4K video capture.
At its core the GX850 represents a combining of Panasonic's style-oriented GF-line with the ultra-compact-oriented GM-line and replaces both the GM5 and GF8. However, its most similar sibling currently on the market is the larger, EVF-sporting GX85.

Key features:

16MP Four Thirds MOS sensor
4K/30/24p video capture
4K Photo mode for 8MP stills at 30 fps
5 fps bursts with continuous AF
3" 1.04M-dot touch LCD flips ups 180 degrees

Samsung Galaxy S7 edge

The new flagship wouldn't have done without an engine upgrade - we guess Qualcomm's return as a chipset supplier is another sign of things getting back to normal after the Project Zero coup. The Galaxy S7 pair is powered by either Snapdragon 820, or the latest Exynos 8890, each with 4GB of RAM.
There is a bigger display with an always-on option, and a more robust battery too. The Samsung Galaxy S7 edge runs the latest Android of course, skinned with the latest TouchWiz.
