amazon OPPO R7 Plus reviews
Hardware design
OPPO R7 Plus is the largest smartphone OPPO size today. I was familiar with the phablet, but still see this phone oversize, wide width should hold hands difficult. Most operations are required on the phone with both hands. This is understandable because of the product size is 6 inches, 5.5 inches is not like most current and practical phablet OPPO has also optimized the edges very good machine. This is among the very few products rate monitor / chassis to 76.6% is very high, slightly more than the Galaxy Note 5 (75.9%) and much thinner iPhone 6s Plus (67.7%).
Machine with metal unibody design like a small Lite R7 and similar designs. Metal body gives the feeling of holding quality, robust and particularly on the cut edges no longer have sharp prickly feeling when holding hands above R7 Lite. Dorsal surface of abrasive products and no fingerprints but slightly slippery hands, a common problem of the machine design using metal monolith.
At the front, R7 Plus’s the screen edges slightly curved like Lite R7 and iPhone 6/6s. The curved edge of the screen to bring aesthetics and impressive sense of comfort as well. But other than R7 Lite, the navigation keys (back, home and multitasking) of this device is put on the screen, rather than lying on the bezel. This is probably because the manufacturer wanted to maximize edging machine to reduce the size and the fact that the display area of R7 Plus has grown up so putting the navigation keys on the screen is not affected as much as the screen 5 inch back.
Plus the back side of R7 featured two current technology is fingerprint sensor and laser sensor autofocus assist for the main camera. Fingerprint sensor on this phone is the type of sensor types like iPhone and Galaxy S6 put recent, not the type of scan as many old Android machine. The sensor is very sensitive operation, supports up to 5 fingers and outside the unlock screen, you can use to unlock more the app. The problem with this is the fingerprint sensor can some people do not like its location at the back, no comfort and press the fingerprint sensor as the iPhone and the Samsung on the front.
On the machine side, the power key and the volume is completed well, moderately well-keys, click with the bounce and placed in a reasonable position. Due to the monolithic metal design should SIM and memory card slot of the machine at border. It supports two SIM standard Nano, which has a tray can plug the memory card, if the memory card slot is not fit a second SIM.
Overall, OPPO R7 Plus is optimized bezel well, the finishing is a little bit higher than R7 Lite and using solid metal material. If compared to the iPhone 6s Plus, the perfection of the machine less, the cut edges and surface treatment are not subtle and smooth as Apple products but edging leaner machine.
Screen
Similarly Lite juniors R7, R7 Plus screen uses AMOLED panels with Full HD resolution and pixel density of 367 PPI.
A few years ago, AMOLED displays brilliant colors to the gaudy excesses. However, this has changed a lot in the past two years. The AMOLED display is still bright, but not outrageous. This combined with the advantages of AMOLED features like high contrast and wide viewing angle make smartphones using panels generally more impressive LCD.
R7 Plus screen. Bright color display, a little bit darker than the actual, high contrast, wide viewing angles and high brightness, can see pretty well when used outdoors. Of course, if used outdoors in the sun, you should look straight, if you look at the screen turn will find it difficult to see the impact of the phenomenon of reflection. Measuring results screen with specialized equipment shows R7 Plus has higher contrast and warmer temperatures than R7 Lite but maximum brightness slightly lower.
However, R7 Plus screen is not much different display modes as many smartphones Samsung, also uses AMOLED panels. Samsung has many modes to reproduce colors as a standard LCD screen for those with the need to show true color.
Software and performance
In addition to the functions for fingerprint sensors, software or R7 Plus smartphones like we had all the recent reviews as R7 Lite and Mirror 5 with ColorOS v2.1 version is customization based on Android 5.1.1 .
There are several points worth noting in terms of the software on the phone OPPO generally includes R7 Plus is no app tray (put straight onto the screen apps iOS varieties); offered several themes to change the look; Integrated features gesture control screen off and on; Center suite of security has many functions to help manage data and applications installed on your computer; mode using a hand (hand glides from the left or right corner to the middle of the screen to activate); features optimized screen for nighttime use blue light filter down causing glare surface support and built-in virtual keyboard Swype, is considered support keyboard input scanning for the best finger hand now.
Performance, R7 Plus using Snapdragon processor 615 eight-core (4 core 1.5GHz and 4-core 1.2GHz) Lite R7 similar but stronger than 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory twice (about 24GB available for users). If compared to the price of the product in the segment can say is advanced, the machine’s microprocessor to the midrange segment. This shows very clearly when comparing the performance of R7 Plus with advanced product on the software performance benchmarks (benchmark) popular, especially graphics processing performance.
However, in practical experience, the differences are not so ominous. When evaluating the R7 Lite, I was surprised with the performance of this product can handle well even heavy applications. On R7 Plus with Full-HD screen, better processor machine basic applications and also play games such as Asphalt 8 heavy at the highest graphical effects, but the motion is not smooth frame is as above R7 Lite. Perhaps more suitable Snapdragon 615 smartphone with HD display, also with full-HD screen, the graphics capability overridden.
Regarding battery life, we do not evaluate the machine’s battery life at work watching movies, playing games, surfing the web and call, the familiar battery of our tests. However, the actual results of use with 4 active mixture of surf and view YouTube videos over Wi-Fi, watching HD movies and gaming offline Asphalt 8, 4100 mAh battery shows the R7 Plus use very impressed.
Specifically, using machines nearly 8 hours using a mixture of 4 active. Like R7 Lite, Asphalt 8 gaming activities consume battery nearly 2 times more than Web surfing activities, watch YouTube and movies offline. With this result, R7 Plus fully used comfortably all day with high intensity and if at gaming, the machine can be used two days at medium intensity.
Another noteworthy detail in this battery technology is being integrated fast charging characteristics of Oppo. Our experiment found R7 fully charged in about 1 hour 15 minutes, including 30 minutes of the first rechargeable battery is 50%, faster than charging Quick Charge 2.0 of Qualcomm.

Camera
R7 Plus have 13MP rear camera and 8MP front camera. The camera then uses IMX278 Exmor RS sensor of Sony size to 1 / 3:06 inch and 1.12-micron pixel size, supports autofocus and dual flash laser. Meanwhile, the camera before using OmniVision’s OV8858 sensor. The camera app has intuitive interface, can switch between turning and shooting with one hand and support matches many features such as RAW image capture, exposure, professional mode, GIF and high resolution image ( 24MP or 50MP).
Practical experience shows that the quality of the pictures is not impressive, especially in the context of the LG (LG G4) and Samsung (Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, Note 5) have recently been improvements in feature. The photos from the natural color often but the separation between the details is not very good and somewhat narrow band of light, easy to see this on the landscape shots. When shooting in low-light environments indoors or in low light, laser sensor can not achieve much. Color shots still good but not high-resolution detail. Overall, OPPO need to improve a lot in terms of camera if you want to compete with LG and Samsung in this feature.
Initial conclusions
In aggregate, the OPPO R7 Plus good quality finishing, beautiful AMOLED screen with vivid colors and wide viewing angles. Battery life using a mixture nearly 8 hours continuously is also a very impressive figure. Performance agile enough to meet basic needs on the phone, except for graphics heavy game. Besides, fingerprint sensor sensitive activities only a little limited in placement at the back not very handy as the other is located on the front rim. Except in the most significant point of this product is not impressive camera.
