Oppo Find 7 Technical Specifications

Find 7 Product Details

1.     Extreme Beauty

1.1  Super Screen 2.0

·           2K Screen (Quad HD)

With a large 5.5 inch screen, 2560x1440 resolutions and 538 PPI, Find 7 carries forward Find 5's legend of the world's first 1080P mobile phone. Find 7 takes the advantage of Fine Pixel coating and Nature Color calibrating technologies to shrink an IMAX screen of more than 350 m² into 5.5 inches. The incredibly high resolution has led us into a new generation of HD mobile phones.

·           Ultra-sensitive Screen

For Find 7, we have outsourced the screen manufacture to JDI - the world's top display supplier. With the highly sensitive touch IC chip and ultra-sensitive touch screen calibrated by R&D elite team, Find 7 features faster response and smoother operation.

·           TOL Technology

Find 7 adopts the TOL (Touch On Lens) one glass integrative binding technology where each small piece of glass is individually polished and bound in a solution. This technology results in higher costs and lower yield, but contributes to fewer cracks and enhances body strength by 40%. Together with Corning Gorilla Glass 3, the screen features stronger scratch resistance.

·           Display Aesthetics 2.0

Carrying forward the classic Find 5 display aesthetics, Find 7 has made a new upgrade that presents a more pure and natural ink-like display; perfectly blending the shiny black panel and the frame into one. 

  

1.2  Skyline Breathing Lights         

Find 7 is the first mobile phone that creatively uses particle guide film. It ensures very high light evenness and permeability of the whole line by the 3140 guide points distributed on the guide film. The light looks just like a meteor falling in the dark night.

1.3     Golden Grip

·           Ti-Al Alloy Frame

The body frame is made of the latest aerospace-qualified Titanium-Aluminum alloy to ensure higher strength, better protection for the screen, and excellent heat dispersion. This material is heavier than magnesium alloy but contributes to a more solid grip.

·           Flowing Waist-line

Find 7 features the two sides designed like a delicate waist-line so that it makes the whole phone naturally smooth with light flowing freely. Together with the arching design of different curvatures in 3 body positions, the phone body fits the grip of a hand very well. The unique creativity constitutes the perfect balance between artistic appearance and a comfortable feeling grip.

·           One-handed Operation

The perfect 5.5 inch size ensures both a comfortable feeling grip and an excellent user experience.

1.4     One-press Open

Find 7 has a specially designed "one-press open" function, reflecting our pursuit for perfection. The back cover can be easily opened by just gently pressing the clip in a hidden slot. You can change SIM card, expandable memory card and battery whenever you want.

2.     Most-powerful CPU

2.1  Qualcomm Snapdragon 8974AC

Find 7 accommodates the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU - 8974AC with powerful 2.5 GHz 4-core processor (2.3 GHz for Find 7a). It is based on the supreme Qualcomm Krait 400 core architecture and therefore 70% faster than 8064. Find 7 also carries the Adreno 330 GPU and the world's fastest 3 GB dual-channel LPDDR3 1866 RAM, as well as 32GB eMMC 5.0 ROM. Together with the 28 nm craftsmanship, the power consumption is reduced by up to 20%. The quick response and high R/W speed make the Find 7 always fast whether it is powering on, running multiple applications, and loading large games.

2.2  Enjoy 4G

Find 7 is the first OPPO 4G mobile phone. Enjoy the ultra-fast internet experience for both online HD videos and large file transfers. Everything is there for you. With 2G we played with texts, with 3G it was images, with 4G it's the time for video! Find 7 is moving forward and thinking ahead!

3.     VOOC Rapid Charge - The World's First Rapid Charger Experience

3.1  Smart and Efficient (Rapid Charging)

Find 7 is the first mobile phone that features the exclusive and new VOOC rapid charge technology. It includes a 3000 mAh battery together with customized circuits, battery cells, 7 pin USB port, data cable and a smart adapter. Charging current and voltage can be automatically adjusted after phone connection is established. The charging speed is significantly increased by 400%, which enables you to make a call for 2 hours after charging for just 5 minutes. With the Rapid Charge function, your phone will revive with full energy in the time it takes to make a cup of coffee.

3.2  Cool and Safe (low charging temperature, safety insured)

Layer 1: The protection circuits in the adapter. No high-voltage will be generated even if the internal circuits are damaged. Safety hazards are eliminated from the very beginning.

Layer 2: The smart chips in the adapter for charging determination. When the phone is being charged, it will meet with phone voltage/current and will not trigger Rapid Charge until the safety is insured.

Layer 3: The electronic switch on the interface for double-determination. The electronic switch will make another decision whether to charge based on the commands from the MCU smart chip.

Layer 4: The overload protection for the battery in phone. Most charging systems also have this function, but as their only solution for charging protection.

Layer 5: Mobile terminal voltage-fuse protection. If there are any abnormalities, the fuse will blow to ensure absolute safety!

Besides rapid charging speed, Find 7 employs an innovatively optimized circuit topological structure to reduce the temperature, building up a comprehensive 5-layer protection mechanism from the adapter to the interface and to the phone. Each section is heavily secure. For the first time, the mobile phone charging safety index is increased from PPM (parts per million) level to the aerospace-qualified level - DPM (parts per billion). The power is reduced but the charging speed and safety is enhanced at the same time.

The slow shutter is upgraded again by the exclusive technology that supports up to 32-s exposure time, which rivals SLR cameras. Take advantage of it to shoot more flowing colors and romantic doodles, framing the dynamic light and shadows onto pictures.
