The OPPO A7n is a new mid-range phone from OPPO. It was silently announced today in China and can simply be referred to as a MediaTek version of the OPPO A7 which launched in India last November.

The OPPO A7n has a 6.2-inch 1520 x 720 display with a waterdrop notch and a screen-to-body ratio of 88.3%. The back is covered in a special 3D material (we are not sure if its glass) that gives it a unique appearance when light rays hit it. The curved back also allows for a firm and more comfortable grip.

As said above, this can be called a MediaTek version of the OPPO A7. OPPO has replaced the Snapdragon 450 processor of the A7 with the Helio P35. There is 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. A triple card slot allows you to use a MicroSD card (256GB max.) alongside two nano SIM cards.

The OPPO A7n has dual rear cameras – a 13MP f/2.2 primary sensor and a 2MP f/2.4 depth sensor. There is a 16MP f/2.0 AI camera in front for selfies with lots of features including portrait mode and beauty mode. The rear cameras can also record time-lapse videos.

The phone has Bluetooth 4.2, dual-band Wi-Fi, and even NFC (missing on the A7) for different forms of cardless payments. There is a fingerprint scanner on the back, a 3.5mm audio jack at the bottom, and a 4,230mAh battery that charges via MicroUSB. With OPPO’s “app freezing” feature, your battery should last longer since no background apps are drawing power.

One neat feature the OPPO A7n also has is a one-touch key that lets you switch between a private mode and a regular (public) mode. The feature is useful in case you want to hand someone your phone to use. Just like the OPPO A7, it also runs ColorOS 5.2.1 based on Android 8.1 Oreo.
