Huawei was recently caught in the web of alleged benchmark cheating when it was discovered that the company’s phones are built to detect benchmark apps by their names. As a result, the phones run at optimal performance thus, achieve higher scores in benchmark apps. OPPO was also accused of engaging in the same practice and now, UL Benchmarks have delisted the OPPO Find X and F7 from its database.

UL Benchmarks is the makers of benchmarking app 3DMark and according to the report, the firm decided to analyse the benchmark results of both OPPO models after several accusations. The company tested the models using a private 3D Mark app that isn’t available to users or phone manufacturers. In the end, both models were discovered to have achieved scores that were up to 41% higher with the public app, than when tested with the private apps.

Just like Huawei, OPPO did not deny the finding but admitted that when its phones detect that the user is running applications like games or 3D Benchmarks that require high performance, the SoC then runs at full speed for the smoothest experience. Some may not view this entirely as cheating but it clearly violates UL benchmark’s rule on the ways a smartphone can interact with its benchmarking software. It also calls to question the dependence of many phone users on benchmark performance to choose a new phone.

The OPPO F7 is one of the many mid-range devices released by OPPO this year. When it first launched in India, it had a starting price of INR 22,990 (~$320), it has now received a price slash.

Flipkart, one of the online retailers, has slashed the price of the base model which has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of ROM to INR 19,990 (~$290). The price is applicable to the black and silver variants. The Solar Red variant is out of stock.

The 6GB RAM + 128GB model has also received a price slash from INR 27,990 (~$407) to INR 23,990 (~$349). Unfortunately, Flipkart is out of stock on that model.

Amazon, on the other hand, has the 4GB RAM + 64GB model available at the same price as above and even has the Solar Red variant in stock. It also has the 6GB RAM model available in black and red for the same INR 23,990 price.

The OPPO F7 has a 6.23-inch FHD+ display with a notch at the top. One of its selling points is the 25MP selfie camera housed within the notch which has lots of AI features including AR stickers and face unlock. On the rear of the phone sits a single 16MP camera which is also packed with AI features.

In March, OPPO had launched the OPPO F7 smartphone with a notched display. The Chinese manufacturer is known for launching “Youth” edition as lighter version for its F-series smartphones. Now that the company has already unveiled the F7 smartphone, it is speculated to be working on OPPO F7 Youth. Myanmar is one country that is yet to receive the OPPO F7 smartphone. A promotional video that has surfaced on OPPO’s Myanmar Facebook account shows that the country will be soon receiving OPPO F7 and OPPO F7 Youth smartphones.

Through the promo video, it can be known that the OPPO F7 Youth features a display that supports an aspect ratio of 19:9. It appears that the major selling point of the F7 Youth would be its 25-megapixel selfie camera that is equipped with Ai Beauty 2.0.

Unlike the red-colored OPPO F7, the Black colored F7 Youth does not feature a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. The back panel of the F7 Youth is fitted with a single camera that is accompanied by its LED flash.

As far as the appearance of the F7 Youth is concerned, it looks quite similar to the OPPO A3 that features a rear panel with diamond-cut design that is devoid of fingerprint scanner. This suggests that the F7 Youth will be only equipped with facial recognition feature for unlocking it.

There is no information available on the other specifications of the OPPO F7 Youth. However, since it is expected to arrive as a lighter edition of the OPPO F7, it is likely to feature 4 GB of RAM or 3 GB of RAM. It may arrive in 32 GB and 64 GB storage models.

The OPPO F7 Youth will be preinstalled with Android 8.1 Oreo and the last Color OS skin. It may include the same 3,400mAh battery that powers the regular OPPO F7. The cost of the F7 Youth is under the wraps, but the pricing pattern of the predecessor models suggests that it could be priced around $260.

Benchmarks are not everything in order to evaluate the overall performance of a smartphone, but they represent a basic picture of how a smartphone behaves when it is under load. Well, not in the case of Oppo F7, which has just been caught cheating on benchmarks. According to a blogger from Vietnam, the handset intentionally boosts its performances pushing the limits when the user runs the AnTuTu app.

The blogger has scripted a fake AnTuTu app to prove it: when he ran the app, Oppo F7 has boosted each of the cores in its MediaTek Helio P60 SoC to their max clock frequency (2 GHz) with no regard for thermal thresholds. Thanks to this trick, the device has obtained awesome scores on AnTuTu, beating some of its most important rivals in the same segment.

If you live in China and you are looking for a phone with the best quality-price ratio, OPPO F7 and Vivo V9 are among the best choices you have. They are two mid-rangers released by sister companies as both are owned by BBK Electronics. And they are also very similar devices. But even though they come with a similar price and they look similar in terms of aesthetics, it seems that there is a huge difference between them in terms of performance. A known YouTube channel has uploaded a video of a speed test which proved that OPPO F7 performs way better than Vivo V9.

OPPO F7 boots faster than its opponent, it can open apps and games faster and it can even be unlocked faster with the fingerprint reader. Both the phones have also been tested on benchmarks with AnTuTu apps and OPPO won on benchmarks as well. While the F7 scored 107647 on AnTuTu, Vivo V9 obtained a result of just 72874 points. According to the video, OPPO F7 can even reproduce better colors through its display, and it has a higher screen brightness. The F7 comes with an octa-core MediaTek Helio P60, 4 or 6 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of internal storage depending on the configuration you choose. It has a wide 6.23-inch display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2220 pixels.

Vivo V9 boasts of an octa-core Snapdragon 626 chipset by Qualcomm, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of internal storage, while its display has a size of 6.3 inches and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels. Both the device feature an iPhone X-like notch. Oppo F7 has also been compared with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro on benchmarks and it was even able to compete with this handset which has a more powerful Snapdragon 636 SoC. You can check the comparison with Redmi Note 5 Pro here. MediaTek finally seems to have done a good job with its Helio P60, but there are other midrange SoCs to beat: Snapdragon 636 and 660.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro and Oppo F7 have been compared on the main benchmarking platforms in order to check which one performs better. Before checking the results of the comparison, keep in mind that benchmarks are not meant to evaluate the overall performance of a smartphone. It just tests the hardware. So, do not take benchmarks as a religion and just consider them as a method to evaluate performance on the paper. The handsets have been tested on Geekbench, AnTuTu, 3D Mark and Basemark with very similar performances in most of the tests.

This comparison is very important, not only because they are among the most powerful mid-rangers in the smartphones market, but also because they contain two of the most important chipsets in the mobile market. Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro is powered by the new octa-core Snapdragon 636 SoC by Qualcomm, composed of 8x Kryo 260 CPUs running at a max frequency of 1.8 GHz and an Adreno 509 GPU. Oppo F7 has the octa-core Helio P60 composed of 4x Cortex A73 cores and 4x Cortex A53 cores running at a max frequency of 2 GHz and a Mali G72 MP3 GPU.

Even though it is not a flagship SoC, Helio P60 is the most important MediaTek chipset released this year, and it will impact a lot on the future of MediaTek in the mobile chipsets market. According to Geekbench, Oppo F7 has slightly better performances than Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro, while according to AnTuTu the Redmi Note 5 Pro is way better than its opponent. 3D Mark Ice Storm Unlimited shows a better result for the Oppo F7, while Basemark shows a higher score for Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro. In each case, we are talking about pretty good results which should guarantee a wonderful user experience, even though there are many other factors to consider to establish how the user experience will be in the long-term.

While Oppo R15 will be the premium 2018 offering from the Chinese giant, Oppo F7 is going to launch with a more affordable price tag for people with a low budget. According to a new poster spotted on Slashleaks, this device will be launched in two variants with an additional version being even cheaper than the standard one. The two versions will be called F7 and F7 Youth: the Youth one will be the most affordable. Oppo smartphones have always focused on camera performance, and the same is applicable with these handsets.

Both Oppo F7 and F7 Youth will come with a 25 MP front snapper for very detailed selfies. The front camera will also support artificial intelligence which will probably be useful to beautify selfies in a smart and automatic way. If you will buy the standard version, you will also get 128 GB of internal storage which is almost impossible to find in affordable phones. Oppo F7 and F7 Youth will have a bezel-less design with an iPhone X-like notch that will house the front camera and the earpiece. But, unlike the iPhone X, there will be a thicker bezel on the lower part of the front, as you can also see on the poster.

The screen-to-body ratio will be close to 90%. Given the presence of a notch, the display will have a 19:9 aspect ratio; it is also expected to have a 6.2-inch size and a Full HD+ resolution with 1080 x 2280 pixels. The devices will sport a full metal unibody design. The hardware components which we will find inside Oppo F7 and F7 Youth are still unknown. But we won’t have to wait for long to know everything about these handsets, as the launch date has already been set. The devices will be official on March 26 in Mumbai.

After confirming the official announcement of the Oppo F7 which will take place on March 26 in India, the leader of the Chinese smartphones market has published new creative teasers which hint at its wonderful design. The teasers are focused on its bezel-less display which will include an iPhone X-like notch on the upper part. The screen-to-body ratio will be incredibly high: according to the latest reports, the display will cover an 89.09% of the front panel that is close to the screen-to-body ratio of the Vivo APEX, the “best bezel-less phone” ever announced.

The display of this phone has been named “Super Full Screen”. Oppo F7 is expected to come with a 6.2-inch panel that will have a 19:9 aspect ratio and will show images at a Full HD+ 1080p resolution. Even though the display is very wide, the phone will still look compact thanks to its high screen-to-body ratio. It will be a device with a great quality-price ratio, and not a flagship. It will probably be consistently cheaper than the Oppo R15 and R15 Dream Mirror, the upcoming flagship smartphones by the company which are tipped to come with a MediaTek Helio P60 and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC, respectively.

The F7’s full-screen design has a notch at the top of the display similar to that of the iPhone X.

The new leaked promotional poster seems to have been captured by the leaker on a banner OPPO mounted on an undisclosed location in India. The poster confirms the presence of a 25MP AI-powered selfie shooter onboard the smartphone. Recall that the OPPO F5 also features a selfie camera with artificial intelligence.

Oppo is all set to launch its new flagship smartphone in the Indian market. The company has revealed that it is going to launch Oppo F7 — the successor of the selfie-focused Oppo F5 that was launched in India last year.

Oppo India posted a teaser of the phone on Twitter with a caption that reads, “Make way for the all-new #OPPOF now with an awesome notch screen. Can you guess who the Indian cricketer is behind the phone?”

The image teased by the company shows a phone with the trendy full-screen display and an iPhone X-like notch with minimal bezels around the display. It looks similar to the Oppo R15 which is expected to launch in China later this month.

Along with the phone, Oppo India is also teasing its brand ambassador for the phone and asks to guess the cricketer, who is likely to be Hardik Pandya.

While the company has not yet revealed any specifications of the phone, an earlier report suggests that the phone could feature a 6.2-inch Full HD+ 19:9 display with 89.09 percent screen-to- body-ratio.

Another report suggests that the Oppo F7 might come with a whopping 25-megapixel front-facing camera. It further adds that the front-facing camera could also feature inbuilt Artificial Intelligence features similar to the Oppo F5. The phone is said to feature enhanced real-time HDR, enhanced beauty mode and AR stickers.

The Oppo R15, which is similar to the Oppo F7, was spotted on TENAA, revealing the phone’s key specifications. It features a 6.28-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with screen resolution of 2280 x 1080 pixels. There’s speculation that the new R15 models will feature the upcoming Snapdragon 670 chipset, while a recent rumor suggests that the device could pack MediaTek Helio P60 chipset.
