• 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.

• It feels like smartphone innovation has taken a real step forward with the introduction of the Vivo Nex and Oppo Find X.Both phones, from Chinese firms with the same parent company, push the boundaries of current smartphone design.
• They build on the likes of the iPhone X, Essential Phone, Huawei P20 Pro and all the other notch-toting handsets by removing the notch all together while maintaining spectacularly slender bezels.
• But that’s not all, as both the Oppo Find X and Vivo Nex also boast novelty pop-up cameras, helping to add to their futuristic look and feel.

     Oppo Find X vs Vivo Nex: display

Both screens here take up almost the whole of the front of the device, providing a visually alluring spectacle.

The Vivo Nex screen is 6.59 inches with a full HD resolution AMOLED panel, which equates to a pixel density of 388ppi.

Vivo says it’s managed to achieve a 91.24% screen-to-body ratio on the Nex, removing the bezels completely round three sides of the screen, with just a thin strip remaining at the base of the handset.

If you think that’s impressive though, the Oppo Find X one-ups it. The Find X has a slightly smaller (but still huge) 6.42-inch, curved OLED display, also with a Full HD resolution, giving you a slightly sharper 401ppi pixel density.

The highlight here though is the Find X’s 93.8% screen-to-body ratio, reducing the size of the remaining bezel at the bottom of the display even more.

Oppo Find X vs Vivo Nex: design
Metal and glass are the materials of choice on the Vivo Nex and Oppo Find X. Both handsets have glass front and rears, which sandwich a metal frame.

The glass is almost uninterrupted on the rear of the Find X, with no cameras to break up the finish, although there is a break in the glass for the rising camera module.

The power switch is on the right of the phone, the volume keys are on the left, while on the bottom edge you’ll find a USB-C port, single speaker and the SIM tray. There is no headphone jack however.

The Oppo Find X measures 156.7 x 74.2 x 9.4mm, and weighs in at 186g, but it does have a curved display on the front and curved edges on the rear, making it a little easier to handle.

Unsurprisingly the Vivo Nex is taller and wider thanks to its larger screen, but it’s actually slimmer than the Find X, measuring 162 x 77 x 8mm. It’s heavier too, at 199g.

The Nex does boast a headphone jack – on the top edge – while on the bottom you’ll find a USB-C port and single speaker. The power and volume keys both reside on the right of the Nex, with an additional key on the left which fires Vivo’s own smart voice assistant.

Neither phone has an IP rating, so you’ll want to avoid dropping them into your bath/sink/drink.

Oppo Find X vs Vivo Nex: cameras
This is where things get interesting. The two phones take a novel approach to camera integration, and they have to as they’ve stretched the screen almost as far as it can go, leaving no space for selfie snappers.

We’ll start on the rear of the Vivo Nex though, as the dual camera setup isn’t hidden away in the body of the phone. Instead you get a vertical stack of lenses with a 12MP (f/1.8) primary camera above a 5MP (f/2.4) secondary sensor with OIS (optical image stabilization) support.

Open up the camera app, and switch to the front facing camera though, and an 8MP (f/2.0) will gracefully rise from the top of the handset.

Vivo Nex cameras

On the Oppo Find X, none of its three cameras are visible before you open the camera app. Once you do though, a section the entire width of the handset rises out of the top of the phone, and it moves up more quickly than Vivo’s selfie camera.

The rear duo are a 16MP (f/2.0) primary and 20MP (f/2.0) secondary, with OIS support. Meanwhile, on the front there’s a 25MP (f/2.0) selfie camera on the other side of the mechanized block.

Oppo Find X vs Vivo Nex: biometrics
Something that you won’t see on either of these smartphones is a fingerprint scanner, but neither handset is bereft of biometric trickery.

There actually is a fingerprint scanner in the Vivo Nex, it’s just hidden within the display. It’s a little slower than fingerprint scanners which aren’t in the display, but it still works well.

You don’t get a face unlock option though, as the selfie camera is tucked away in the body of the phone.

There’s no fingerprint scanner on the Oppo Find X though, but you do get the firm’s O-Face technology.

O-Face uses the front facing camera and an infra red sensor to 3D map your face, and when it comes to unlocking the handset you have to hit the power/lock key to wake the phone, the camera quickly pops up to look at you and then unlocks the phone.

It works better and quicker than you make think.

Oppo Find X vs Vivo Nex: power and storage
The Oppo Find X packs in a Snapdragon 845 chipset, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and it runs Android 8.1 Oreo with the firm’s own Color OS 5.1 interface over the top of it.

It comes with Google’s full suite of applications, and it also supports the Android P Beta program, allowing you to test out the next version of the operating system before its official release later this year.

Inside the Vivo Nex you’ll also find the top of the range Snapdragon 845, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It’s also running on Android 8.1, but with Vivo’s FunTouch 3.1 interface over the top, which doesn’t have the Google suite of apps.

Oppo Find X vs Vivo Nex: battery
The Vivo Nex packs in a huge 4,000mAh battery which is one of the biggest in any of the top smartphones.

Meanwhile, the Oppo Find X battery is slightly smaller at 3,730mAh, but you do get Oppo’s VOOC flash charging tech for quick top-ups. Neither phone supports wireless charging, however.

Oppo Find X vs Vivo Nex: price and availability
At the moment, the Vivo Nex is only available in China and it’s not clear whether it’ll come to more countries.

There’s better news regarding the Oppo Find X, as availability has been confirmed for China, India, Australia, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and North America.
