Oppo Find 7

Whether it's a smartphone you're buying these days or looking for a new car, laptop, even a pair of shoes, there's always an overriding factor: brand recognition.

The Find 7 has so much going for it - and so few areas where it falls short - that it's hard not to get excited about what the upstart Chinese company has been able to achieve with its latest flagship. read more →

Despite a smattering of faults, it still stands tall as the company's finest mobile effort to date and Oppo die-hards shouldn't hesitate to pick one up. The tricky truth for everyone else is that the Find 7 doesn't live in a vacuum. There's no shortage of contemporaries like LG's G3 and the tantalizing OnePlus One that will make more sense because of carrier availability or cost -- although the latter is still admittedly tough to get your hands on. What Oppo can do is make a solid device, and that's exactly what we've got here. read more →

The Oppo Find 7 seems to be a stellar flagship on paper – it's got a huge Quad HD display, overachieving processor, plenty of memory, and a high-res camera. It is, however, marred by some mishaps.

If the LG G3 didn't come with such a high-res screen, the Oppo Find 7 would have been a fantastic showcase of the latest technology. Unfortunately for Oppo, LG's phone offers much more, with a better design and cleaner UI that makes the Find 7 look bland.

Most of the time during our usage when we had to wait for the phone to execute a specific task, it was due to the internet speed. We think about the only bottleneck you’ll run into while using the Find 7 is your data connection. The phone launches and switches apps in a blink of an eye, and if you didn’t have to wait for information to load through your data channels, it would be pretty instant. read more →
