The phone offers a couple of other improvements in the camera, display, and the performance department also.
Oppo F7 Overview
Design-wise, the device looks similar to Vivo V9, all thanks to a notch which is an inspiration from Apple iPhone X. The phone has maintained 88% screen-to-body ratio. Moving on to the built, the F7 has got an acrylic plastic body with a high gloss finish back panel. F7 weighs just 158g which is the sweet spot for the phone. 3.5mm headphone jack is still present on the F7 but it lacks the Type-C USB port.
The display is one of the main talking points in the smartphone. It features a 6.23-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD panel of 2280x1080p resolution with a pixel density of 405ppi. It’s a 19:9 aspect ratio display, fitting the current trend, which looks appealing while watching movies and playing games.
Like every other Oppo smartphones, Oppo F7 is also a selfie-centric smartphone featuring a 25MP front camera with real-time HDR and AI beauty for improved age and gender beautification. The front camera boats the 25MP Sony Sensor with f/2.0 aperture that is claimed to ‘capture the real you’.
