OPPO R7 Pro Reviews

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 a victim of the thinness fad, for Oppo sacrificed battery capacity in order to bring the R7 to a slim 0.25in (6.3mm), and the result is an unimpressive battery life. Moreover, the smartphone's 5-inch display can be dim and is a bit artificially sweetened. We also think Oppo should have spent a bit more time whipping up the automatic camera shooting mode into shape, as it's prone to over-exposing scenes. These things aside, the Oppo R7 makes it quite far for a smartphone that costs $400 unlocked. It looks and feels premium, performance is generally great (scratch that if you play demanding 3D games), and the user and multimedia experiences aren't lacking in any considerable aspect. In fact, they make for a great all-around package. Still, at a $400 unlocked price point, there are other handsets one could consider. The Xiaomi Mi Note and the Huawei Honor 6 Plus pack more screen estate and battery capacity, while the good old OnePlus One is still the best $350 can get you in today's smartphone market.
