OPPO Find 7 Smartphone Review

If you desire to use smartphone different from the big flagships of Android, but with good features then Find 7 from Oppo might be the best choice for you. Although, Oppo is not a brand that could be compared with the likes of Samsung and HTC, yet it still pushes for the flagship segment and almost manages to break through.

Let’s have a gander at some of the interesting features of the smartphone from a Chinese phone maker that nearly challenges flagships.

The Hardware

If you have a close look at the specifications of Find 7, you will find a couple of things. It boasts a brilliant 5.5-inch QHD (2560×1440 pixels) IPS display containing 534ppi. Find 7 is powered by a quad-core 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 processor and physical memory of 3GB. Rear camera is 13MP whereas front camera is 5MP. The operating platform is Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean). These specs are enough to put Find 7 in the race with flagships such as HTC One M8, Sony Xperia Z2, and Samsung Galaxy S5.

The Software

Although Find 7 runs on Android 4.3, yet it looks different from stock Android. This is due to the fact that Find 7 sports color interface of OPPO. In terms of its functioning, it is very much similar to Android sets. Notifications are found by swiping the screen from top towards the bottom, different pages are visited by swiping horizontally, and pushing the icons gives the options contained in it. The color interface is a really good looking design. The Color UI is simple and is quite smooth to use.

Oppo has also launched an online store from where you can download wallpapers, lockscreens, themes etc. This interface is designed for those who want to change the look of their phone often.

The Looks and Design

It is an extremely elegant looking phone with glass-covered front except for a thin plastic bezel present at the bottom. The sides consist of chrome accents while the soft touch plastic decorates the back side. It feels on a little heavy side with 171 grams, not suitable for one-handed operation.

Overall, it is well built and designed.

The Performance

The performance of Find 7 is its real asset that is quite comparable or even better than the big flagship smartphones as shown in the charts below.

As it is obvious from the above charts, Find 7 is able to stand firm in the competition with flagships from Samsun and HTC.

Verdict

The bottom line is that Find 7 would really provide you a different touch from the more famous flagships with high performance and elegant looks.
