Oppo, fondly known as the Apple of China has been bringing devices to the markets that have garnered popularity like none other. It launches devices which are better than some of the best in business and the latest device which has gone on sale from the stable of Oppo is the Find 7 which will be the flagship device of the company henceforth. It has been launched in two variants, Find 7 and Find 7a with the screen resolution separating the two of them. Let us take quick review of the Find 7a.
Camera and Internal Storage
It comes with a 13-megapixel IMX214 Sony sensor at the back coupled with 6-element lends and a dedicated ISP. It gets a dual-mode LED and has an aperture size of f/2.0. It uses software improvements to shoot images with a resolution of 50 MP (8,160 X 6,120 pixels). It can click RAM picture as well and is joined in by the ability to record 4K videos. It gets a 5.0 MP camera up front which has f/2.0 aperture as well.
The internal storage capacity of the Find 7a stands at an impressive 16GB and can be expanded by another 64GB. The Find 7 just does not have any competition when it comes to the memory department and we are nothing but more than happy with the same.
Processor and Battery
Taking charge of the processing department of the Find 7a is a 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 Quad Core MSM8974AB which gets coupled with a 2GB RAM. It would be at par with the other flagships in terms of performance and would get all your things done without a hiccup. There’s an Adreno 330 GPU as well on board taking care of the graphics department.
Giving the Find 7a the juice is a 2,800 mAh battery which comes with the Rapid Charge functionality for times when you don’t have much time to charge your phone yet need a decent battery backup. It will last you about a day on a single charge.
Display and Features
Find 7a has a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels with a pixel density of 403 ppi. It might be a bit less than the sibling Find 7 but it still is a pretty bright unit and will produce really good colours and provide for an amazing display unit. It gets Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on top of it for added protection and it supports wet as well as gloved touch.
It runs on ColorOS 1.2.0 which has been based on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. It will be available in Black and White colours. The battery of the device is accessible as well and it comes with a removable back panel.

Comparison
The Find 7a phablet will be taking on the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Sony Xperia Z2 and LG G Pro 2 which come with closely related specifications and each one has its own pros and cons. Find 7a will be available in China only for the time being with a global rollout expected soon but it won’t hit all the nations globally.
Conclusion
The Find 7a, eventhough sits below the Find 7 is by no means less than a flagship as it has a spec sheet which is at par with the flagships from other OEMs. Seeing the fact that Oppo has commenced its Indian operations in full swing, the device will be launched soon here as well with a price tag of around Rs 30,000-35,000. But the brand is still unknown in India and that might hinder the sales after the premium pricing.
