An up and coming Chinese electronics corporation, Oppo first threw itself on the map just over a year ago when they released the “Oppo Find 5” and holds the title of the worlds first cellular 1920x1080p display. Oppo are now taking the first steps once again with their just announced “Oppo Find 7”.
Oppo took a very different approach when creating their latest flagship as they hinted to the public of their prized features such as their 2K screen, replaceable battery and the possibility of a 50MP camera Theunis wrote about a short while back. So, after months of Oppo hinting and asking their fans what they want to see, the announcement of the “Find 7” came as a great joy to many. The specs of this phone are definitely eye catching with the much anticipated 2560×1440 resolution screen at 5.5 inches, delivering a PPI of 538!
A new interesting improvement is the 3000mAh battery (2800mAh for the 1080p variant) that charges from 0%-75% in just 30 minutes and a mere 5 minutes of charging can last you 2 hours of talk time. The much anticipated 50MP camera is true, well, sort of. Basically the phone sports a 13MP Sony sensor but the a software enhancement built into the phone allows the phone to take ten consecutive photos, automatically choosing the four best photos and combining them to make a 50MP photo. Let’s not forget the 5MP front facing camera.
Digging a bit deeper into more features include the updated 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 processor with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage on the premium 2K variant that will sell for $599 and 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage on the 1080p variant that will sell for $499.
Other enhancements include a part metal exterior of the “Find 7” but with the addition of a Carbon Fibre exterior, a slightly dimmed LED notification light found at the bottom of the phone and a dual LED-Amber flash accompanying the rear shooter.
There is no indication as yet as to when the “Oppo Find 7” will go on sale, but we are expecting it to ship in the next couple of months. Unfortunately, there is no word about it reaching the South African market.
