Oppo R7s : The Stylish Smartphone with 4 GB RAM

Coinciding with the GITEX (Gulf Information Technology Exhibition) 2015 event in Dubai at October 2015. Oppo specifically introduce the newest family of R7 series, the Oppo R7s. It comes with a metal-clad body design, R7s asked as the latest stylist phones from the Chinese vendor.

With elegant design, Oppo has the ambition to target the upper class. As it known, R7 series since the first time is intended for users of the upper class who want to look trendy with stylish gadget in hand. Call the original R7, R7 Plus, and R7 Lite. Everything is designed in such a way to attract the attention of anyone who looked at. The design sector looks nice, what about the specifications?

To be able to create an advanced smartphone, would not only rely on the design. Machinery sector is also an important concern. Therefore, Oppo pinned 4 GB RAM. It has become a trend among manufacturers of smartphones. Coupled with the eight-core processor, this phone is ready to tempt you.

Full Review of the Oppo R7s:

Design and Display

Elegant design sector which is claimed is proven. We admit it since the first held. The impression of luxury, especially products that we reviewed is equipped with a golden color.

Carrying allumunium magnesium alloy materials, or often called most of metal materials. It making an impression grip when holding the R7s is similar to other premium phones. However, users should be careful. In some cases, the use of the body made of magnesium alloy allumunium often be rather slippery when the phone is gripped. If not careful in the grip, ready to accept the fact that this handset fell to the ground.

The use of design lines that were created as a sweetener while emphasizing that Oppo is still loyal with two lines across the top and bottom flanking Oppo logo. This also applied to the previous product series like R7, R7 Plus. Yes, this is also present in the three devices that we mentioned earlier.

Another line, another camera anyway. Oppo choose the left side for the camera position.

Now we move on to the next section. Oppo seems to exactly understand the color selection to match. Gold in the back then paired with white on the front adds to the impression of elegance. White colors adorn the front while accompanying a 5.5 inch AMOLED screen. It coated with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. However, in order to be safe, there is no harm for the user to use an additional protective layer of tempered glass for safety from scratch.

For physical buttons, Oppo just pinned three physical buttons. The volume on the left side and a power / sleep on the right side that we think the positioning is very fit and easy to reach. As for the home button and navigation, Oppo set it up on-screen. Therefore, the home button on the screen can function as a lock screen when tapped twice, otherwise known as double tap to lock.

Double tap to lock is one of a number of screen tech presented by Oppo. In addition, there were also double tap to wake and gesture patterns for a variety of functions. For example, if the condition of the screen is off or locked, you can draw a circle and then immediately directing to the camera application. Similarly with three fingers slide up or down to make a screenshot.

AMOLED display technology and Full HD resolution make the 5.5 inch screen looks sharp. It also supported with 441 ppi pixel density. The evidence is when watching the video with the same resolution, you will achieve very satisfactory results. The resulting color is very sharp because AMOLED is known as one of the best screen technology.

The last before we move on to the performance, there is no less important is the thickness and weight of the handset. On paper, R7s has a dimensions of 151.8 x 75.4 x 7 mm, and 7 mm thickness. Thus, R7s is thinner when compared to Sony Xperia Z5 are 7.3 mm or even 7.1 mm of iPhone 6s.

As for weight it is reached 155 grams. We say the device is very light to carry or may not tiring when used to play games or watch videos while sleeping.

Middle Class Processor

To run a wide range of both light and heavy work, R7s rely on System on Chip (SoC) octa-core Snapdragon 616 consisting of a quad core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 and quad-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A53. Snapdragon 615 processor actually be a subscription to the R7 series. Only makes a difference is the increase of the RAM. Now using 4 GB.

Trends in the use of large-capacity RAM indeed favored by a number of vendors. Typically, 4 GB of RAM installed on flagship devices. By pinning the 4 GB RAM, we should expected to free of the lag or slow problem.

Many argue if inappropriate 4 GB RAM pinned with Snapdragon 615 processor which is actually for the middle class. However, in reality, the blend duo in R7s is success.

As proof, we never experience lag when multitasking. Even when invited to heavy condition, like playing games with the condition of a variety of games from the background. Another advantage is the device has under high heat conditions (within reasonable limits). The heat released is not excessive. Although this devices use metal body materials.

But unfortunately, when tested using AnTuTu benchmark, R7s scores can not beat the ranks of other flagship phone. This handset get the number 34170.

Not satisfied to test one time, we also repeat it. This time we are tested by enabling support for 64 bit because basically this processor supports 64-bit architecture. However, the resulting scores rise slightly, to 37298.

The last question to be discussed is the battery life. It became the most important and crucial part of a smartphone. The handset may be sophisticated, but what if the batteries run out quickly ? Oppo was pinned battery with a capacity that large enough, that is 3070 mAh.

In full use, the device is able to survive up to 12 hours. Still not enough? Then try to activate power saving mode. Oppo provides two power saving mode which consists of super normal power saving and power saving. Not quite up there, you need not stay long hit on the wall just for charging. R7s charger is equipped with VOOC Flash  Charging technology.

Cameras With Many Features

Perhaps the amount of megapixels that carried by the main camera of Oppo R7s is fairly standard for a smartphone today, the 13 MP. Do not get stuck with amount of megapixels because the important thing is the sensor. To give the best shots, Oppo pinning Sony IMX214 camera sensor  with f / 2.2 aperture.

Made by Sony. The camera sensor is often used by a number of vendors as the main camera. Testing the room condition to show that the camera shots indeed qualified. Most parts of the picture looks quite detailed, the lighting was fitted, including coloring.

Similarly, the taking pictures in landscape. Beautiful views of Lake Toba capable captured well by the camera. It hs many variety of effects. This feature also has been provided by Oppo ranging from Ultra HD, Beautify, Various Filters, Panorama, HDR, GIF, Slow Shutter, Audio Photo, Double Exposure, Super Macro, up Time Lapse.

From the rear camera, switch to the front camera. Well, selfie lovers will be spoiled with a front camera shots 8 MP R7s. In addition to the camera sensor, the picture increasingly slick with the support beautify features that make the face look smooth.

Conclusion

Overall R7s able to offer a great smartphone experience on a middle class. The price is not too expensive, it could be the right choice for you.

Nevertheless, it has elegant design that is capable of carrying R7s grade and can be paired with a mobile phone with upper price. We liked the splashes of gold color on the back, it make this device so special.

Color OS user interface based on Android 5.1 used by R7s also be a special attraction. What’s interesting about this OS, the user interface looks simple. Color OS 2.1 does not use the app drawer, that is to say. The users to access applications just instantly shift the screen to the left or right without having to press the menu key applications.

However, since this phone is positioned as a stylish phone, certainly do not expect that the performance can overtake or even match with the premium flagship phone.
