The reason is simple, they continue to present a range of products that follow the latest technological developments. In addition, their target market is also very broad.
This time, we get a chance to try their flagship product, Oppo Find 7a. What are the advantages and disadvantages does it have?
Designs
Previously, we would like to clarify that the Find 7a is a cheaper version of the Smartphone Find 7, despite the fact that the price offered is not much different. Physically, this phone has no difference with Find 7. It has a screen size of 5.5 inches, the Find 7a is dominated by white color seen on the edges and the back cover.
Textured cover is made of plastic material on the first impression is rather frail. We did a little difficulty when trying to open it because it does not find a crack special appetizer. This makes us conclude that the edges were designed elegantly enough to defect if the lid is opened frequently. We also tried to play a cover of this a little bit, and it turns out that the plastic material used is strong enough.
Oppo Find 7a pinned the LED indicators on the front side, right under the three main buttons (Menu, Home, and Back). This indicator uses a blue LED with light intensity level is slowly rising. This notification indicator reminds us of the indicators belonging to some of the products Sony Xperia. However, the lighting indicator 7a Find a more elegant look.
Software & Interface
Switch to the interface, Oppo Find 7a using special operating system based on Android 4.3 ColorOS Jelly Bean. Until this review is written, the Oppo itself has not released the newest version. This modification allows the operating system Find 7a has a more unique and varied.
This can be seen from the icon of each application is unique and can be changed according to the theme being used, even though newly downloaded applications. Some characteristics of the standard Android OS is still maintained, such as the presence of a drop-down menu.
Next, Find 7a provides a variety of features that are very attractive, especially for ease of operation. We were quite fascinated with Air Gesture feature which allows the user to unlock and shift panels without touching the screen. Likewise with Smart Gesture that gives freedom to the user to create a shortcut to a specific application.
In addition to creating your own shortcuts, Oppo also offers several other shortcuts that utilize the touch screen, including how to take a screenshot, ie by sliding three fingers from the top to the bottom of the screen simultaneously.
In the locked state and Standby, the user has two unique ways to activate the Find 7a. First, by pressing the Power button, then moving the hands from the top to the bottom of the screen without touching it. Secondly, in the same state, users can access Google Now just to say "Hey Snapdragon", of course, after activating Voice Wake-up feature.
Camera & Video
Rear camera resolution 13 MP Oppo arguably has first-class quality. This is evident when we take a few examples such as in one of the shopping centers in Jakarta, with low-light conditions. In addition, this camera also supports face detection and HDR technology. Likewise, when recording video, Oppo Find 7a can record Full HD resolution video at 60 FPS.
In fact, this smartphone also has no problem when playing movies or other video resolution 4K. Through a special widget camera on the front panel, users can also take photos while looking at the results of the other images that have previously been stored.
Powerful 5 MP front camera makes the Find 7a become one of the phone with a front camera which is quite powerful. This of course can satisfy the needs of its users selfie. You can see an example of the resulting image below.
Performance
Smartphones has certainly the premium grade premium specification anyway. Oppo Find 7a using Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 801 @ 2.3 GHz. The four-core processor has Adreno 330 graphics card, which is equipped with 2 GB of RAM.
I am a gadget that prioritizes users gaming experience. Therefore, the Find 7a become one of my choices to meet the needs of gaming. Specifications owned by allowing me to run a variety of games, even games with visual quality heavyweight, 8 Asphalt and FIFA 15.
Speaker Oppo Find 7a also superior. Located on the back a bit to the bottom, the speaker is able to produce a cool bass effect. The quality is very good bass effect when playing the game and happened to hear the song.
Find 7a battery power is quite large, which is 2,800 mAh. The phone is powered VOOC Rapid Charge technology allows battery charging in a very quick time. Charging the battery from 0% to 100% can be completed in just 40 minutes. The application of this technology can be seen from the use of non-standard adapters, plus its micro USB connector which has more pins. Faster charging can be done thanks to the number of pins more than the standard battery.
Unfortunately, Find 7a relatively wasteful power. This conclusion feels when calling, write emails, play songs and videos, to playing games. Moreover, the application of the light intensity is also less convenient. When the lighting is set to 50%, the resulting light is still very bright, while if lowered below 50%, the lighting becomes too dim. This is even more noticeable if you try it after installing the theme with colors that are not bright.
Conclusion
Oppo Find 7a is a smartphone with specs and premium design. Of course, the price also adjust the quality. Various features offered, both hardware and software, can be an option for fans who want a smartphone gadgets trendy elegant.
