    See other variants reviews Score: 58.9 / 100

OPPO R7 is a mid level Android cellphone launched back in 2015, coming with a big 5" multi touch capacitive display, a powerful CPU clocking at 1.5 GHz, and 2 cameras, a 13 megapixels back camera and an 8 mega-pixels front-facing camera. We will get a better understanding of this cellphone's specs when we get into specific details.

Oppo sells this cellphone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 8939 system chip, packing a great performance 1500 megahertz processing unit and a huge 3 GB of RAM. The OPPO R7 counts with a 16 GB quite big internal storage and an SD memory card expansion slot, which allows you to install a couple hundred applications and games without any problem.

The OPPO R7 is incredibly slim, with a thickness of just 0.25 inches. The OPPO R7 is just 5.63 inches long and 2.8" wide, but it manages to hold a 5 inches display. The OPPO R7 is much lighter than what one would expect from a device this size. Talking about its aspect, this phone is mostly manufactured with metal. Oppo sells this phone in gray and gold.

The OPPO R7 is equipped with two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back facing camera and an 8 mega-pixels front side camera. It is capable of filming videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps, and 1280x720 HD slow-motion videos up to 120 frames per second. This cellphone also counts with a lot of useful characteristics: flash, auto-focus, face detection shooting, smile detection shooting, HDR mode and geo tagging.

Oppo equipped this cellphone with a gorgeous 5-inches screen, and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (Full HD), which makes everything look absolutely perfect. Its screen uses AMOLED capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This cellphone provides WiFi connection (although it can't provide it to other devices acting as a modem or router), LTE (4G) high performance connectivity and also HSPA+ internet connection, a bit slower 4G variation and fast 3G connectivity, using HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This device comes with two Nano SIM cards so it can to work with 2 different phone numbers or carriers in the same cellphone.

This cellphone packs a 2320 mAh high capacity Li - Polymer non-removable battery that provides this phone an average battery duration. An issue to evaluate is that this cellphone's battery is non-replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins losing capacity, though with such a big battery you will probably buy a new device before that becomes a real problem.

This phone also comes with a couple of nice features like Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Localization, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This cellphone is priced 249 dollars, which is very expensive for comparing with other similar cellphones. No matter whether you want it mostly for internet broswing and social networks or will use this cellphone for gaming, you will definitely love this cellphone.
