The Oppo R7 packs premium design into a slim, luxurious metal package. It also features Oppo's patented fast charging and you can easily get hold of it in major western markets
The phone is expensive for its midrange hardware, and its battery life isn't that good
Oppo's R7 looks great, but the $400 price tag will push potential buyers away -- you can get another phone just as good for less, or a better one for slightly more...
I already liked the OPPO R5 for its design and the customisable UI, but with some reservations. The OPPO R7 addressed a lot of the issues to make it a more usable smartphone for me. It now supports dual SIM, expandable memory via microSD card, a larger ba...

Abstract: It used to be, not too long ago, that buying an unlocked smartphone online from some unfamiliar Chinese OEM was a sure-fire recipe for frustration. The thing is, the bar for no-contract phones has gotten so high within the past two years or so that you co...
Abstract: We've always criticized the “thin and light” mentality of most smartphones today because feel in the hand isn't everything. Compromises in battery life and expandable storage are enough to frustrate anyone, no matter how beautiful the phone is. There's a...
Aboveaverage design, Pleasant user experience, Good performance
Dim display, Overexposed camera shots, Unimpressive battery life
The Oppo R7 hits pretty darn close to the target center.We have to say, the Oppo R7 hits pretty darn close to the center target. It's a very attractive smartphone with a rich user experience and manageable, but not insignificant flaws. Once again, we have...
Metal construction is sturdy and lovely, the definitive highlight, AMOLED screen was a good choice, Snapdragon 615 proves reliable for daily usage, Headphone jack returns, Dual SIM or microSD card expansion available, 8 megapixel front facing camera, Co
Thin phone means thin battery, average longevity at best, Display is of good but standard quality, Spec hungry will want more power, No NFC?, Camera is average, post processing hurts it, Color OS still an odd version of Android for most

Sharp, colourful screen, Solid performance, Oppo's ColorOS has a few nice touches, Cheaper than many phones of this quality
