As planned, Oppo has officially commenced sales of its Find X7 Ultra Satellite Edition in mainland China. The smartphone which was unveiled just a few days ago lets users connect with satellites for calls and messages. Additionally, it’s also the world’s first smartphone to support 5.5G network connectivity. Let’s walk through its details here.

Consumers in China can purchase the Oppo Find X7 Ultra Satellite Edition starting today for 7,499 yuan (approximately $1036). This model features a single configuration with 16GB of RAM and a substantial 1TB of storage. The phone is available through Oppo’s official online store and comes in three colors: Ocean Blue, Sepia Brown, and Tailored Black.

Specifications

The Satellite Edition’s primary upgrade is its satellite connectivity, which lets users make calls and send text even when there’s no connectivity available. This ensures users stay connected even in areas where cellular networks aren’t reliable.

Additionally, the Find X7 series is the world’s first smartphone to support 5.5G (5G-Advanced) technology. 5.5G promises substantial network improvements over traditional 5G, such as significantly faster speeds and reduced latency. It all translates to faster download speed, smoother streaming when watching your favorite content, and a more responsive gaming experience. 

Beyond these connectivity features, the Satellite Communication Edition shares its core design and specifications with the standard model.

This includes a 6.82-inch AMOLED curved display with a 3168×1440 resolution and supports an adaptive refresh rate of 1 to 120Hz for smooth visuals.

Under the hood lies the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, along with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. A 5000mAh battery powers the device which supports 100W wired fast charging.

The Oppo Find X7 Ultra Satellite Edition continues to impress with its versatile camera array.  It features a 50MP wide-angle camera with a large 1-inch sensor and f/1.8 aperture for excellent low-light performance.

Moreover, you get two telephoto lenses: a 50MP lens with 65mm focal length and f/2.6 aperture, along with a  50MP super telephoto sporting a 135mm focal length and f/4.3 aperture for incredible zoom capabilities. This makes the Find X7 Ultra the first smartphone in the world with a dual telephoto lens. 

Then there’s a 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera with an f/2.0 aperture. Finally, you get a 32MP camera for selfies and video calls.
