- The Oppo Find 7, like the OnePlus One , is a Chinese-made phone with plenty of promise.
The Good
The Oppo Find 7 has a powerful chip and a super high-res screen. Fun features like its Ultra-HD picture mode are cool bonuses.
The Bad
The phone’s design is boring compared to its competitors, and it lacks a standout feature such as the Oppo N1’s swivel camera. Its battery life takes a hit due to the high-power display too.
The Bottom Line
Oppo may have packed the Find 7 with the latest and greatest specs, but it faces stiff competition from the LG G3, which has similar specs but a better design.
Performance
Due to its 2.5 GHz Qualcomm 801 quad-core Snapdragon processor and 3GB RAM and 330 GPU the smartphone is pretty powerful than the other android flagship smartphones. The phone did not show any kind of stutter or lag while switching between the apps, using camera and apps, watching videos, playing high-graphic games and multi-tasking.
Oppo Find 7 comes with another new technology, VOOC fast charging that offers it four times faster charging than the conventional chargers. Smartphone can support a 2 hour call with just 5 minutes of charging and full charge in about 45 minutes.

Display
The display of this smartphone is the key feature for its entire buzz in the market. The smartphone sports a 5.5 inch 2K/Quad HD display with the screen resolution of 1440*2560 and the pixel density of 538ppi. This screen resolution is a lot higher than what the other flagship smartphone features, i.e. 1080*1920p and the pixel density is also higher than all the other smartphones at present in market. The display is very sharp and crisp and offer excellent viewing angles. The screen is less reflective and the outdoor legibility is pretty good on this smartphone.

Software and features
Oppo Find 7 features a different OS based on the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, Color OS, which is typically a heavily customized version of Android that offer ample support for themes, lock screen widgets and app launcher. The company has replaced few stock apps with its own and due to its few nice little touches some apps like Music app really feel very good. Smartphone also supports the gesture controls including three finger swap for taking screenshots, double tap for unlock, pinch-to-launch camera app and more.
The smartphone comes with the latest Snapdragon 801 and its quad-core processor is clocked at 2.05 GHz which is pretty impressive for a smartphone. There is 3GB RAM for running the apps without any lags and the phone’s internal memory is 32 GB which is further expandable up to 128 GB using micro-SD cards.
As for the connectivity, Find 7 supports LTE network . The smartphone also holds a 3,000 MAh battery under its hood.
Camera
Oppo Find 7 has packed in a 13MP rear and a 5 MP front camera. The rear camera features the Sony IX214 CMOS Sensor and has ability to record 4K videos. Other highlighting features of the rear camera are its support for RAW files and the super zoom mode of the camera that merges 10 photos to create single 50MP image. Slow-motion video recording with 720p at 120fps is also available with the rear camera.
The quality of images captured at broad day-light is excellent with accurate color reproduction, good contrast, and very little noise. Low-light shots also came out well and the dual-LED flash does an excellent job of filling up the light. The front camera also captures good quality selfies and the beauty mode present enhances the selfies taken.
Call quality
I found no issues with call quality — the other party came across clear and crisp, while also being able to hear me fine. Audio volume was sufficiently loud; I wouldn’t be too worried about being able to hear the other person in a crowded place. The speakers, found at the rear of the phone, are pretty loud, and at the lowest setting, you’ll be able to hear the phone ringing even if it is in your pocket.
Final Verdict! 97%
Oppo Find 7 in summary is one of the best android smartphones . The sleek design feels good, although challenging to operate with one hand. The camera takes awesome photos and the battery life is decent for a full day’s job. With all its features we can say that this new smartphone has the capability to outshine all other flagship smartphones at present in the market. But the brand name Oppo still needs quite a lot of work to establish itself and so this smartphone just might be their first step forward.
