LG is a giant in mobile phone technology. Everyone must have heard the name ‘LG’. The smartphone market has been abuzz with phone like G2. On the other hand, the Chinese Mobile Phone ‘Goliath’ Oppo  is also set to enter into European and other markets.  LG’s new phone G3 is expected to be released in June 2014. Whereas Oppo’s Find 7 is already available in Chinese market. The manufacturer is looking forward to launch their new phone globally. Let’s put these two phones in a review arena and see who wins the battle.

The LG G3 is designed to look like having a metallic body. Although it is plastic, but the effect is convincingly successful. It has a rear button which has been made flatter as compared to its predecessor G2 which had a protruding button. The dimensions of the phone are 146.3×74.6×8.9 mm. LG G3 weighs 149g, so it is lighter than Oppo Find 7.

When it comes to Oppo, it is all about sleekness. The mobile sports a sleek body and finish. The mobile phone has carbon fiber back and alloy of titanium and aluminum frame. The frame is available in two colors white and ‘midnight’. The dimensions of Find 7 are: 152.6x75x9.2mm. The phone weighs  171g which may be slightly heavier for some users.

 LG G3 comes with ridiculously high resolution with so many pixels cramped into medium sized mobile phone. It sports 5.5 inch Quad HD, 2560×1440 IPS LCD Screen with 538 ppi pixel density. The Oppo Find has exactly the same resolution. The stunning  5.5 QHD gives Oppo Find 7 gives equally fascinating Display experience as LG G3. Pixel density is also same i.e., 538 ppi.

let’s look what LG has hidden under its hood. The LG G3 is powered by Snapdragon 801 processor with a speed of 2.5 Ghz. The RAM is either 2 or 3 GB depending on the type of model; that is 16GB storage model and 32GB respectively. The Oppo Find 7 rivals the likes of LG, HTC, Motorola with quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 MSM8974AC running at speed of 2.5 Ghz, with 3GB of RAM.

Oppo Find 7 has 13 MP rear camera. With f/2.0 aperture little help from software it can take pictures up to 50 MP. It is not slowed when it comes to video. It can record 4K video 30fps.  It has another front camera for video chat or closeup selfies.  The LG G3 has same MP back camera i.e. 13 MP. The front shooter rather falls short with 2 MP camera. Oppo find seems to beat LG G3 in this category.

The LG G3 has removable battery of 3,000mAh. Which make it a match for its rival flagship phones ,, HTC, Samsung. The Oppo Find 7 has similar 3,000mAh battery which could be recharged to 75 percent using VOOC Charging System.

The Oppo Find 7 provides connectivity through Bluetooth 4.0 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi direct, NFC and plus LTE. This is a big leap for Oppo. The LG G3 is supportive of 3G, 4G, LTE Advance, NFC and Bluetooth 4.0. It has microSD slot to extend the memory to 128GB.

LG G3 is priced at $925 or £550 making it at par with other high spec phones. Oppo Find 7 has price tag of €400 or $544. The Chinese phone beat the LG G3 in the arena of price.  Oppo has upper hand as it is more famous as compared to Opp, which is a new comer in the global market.

The verdict is LG is claiming the battle with brand prestige. Oppo Find 7, on the other hand has put up a decent fight with real high spec muscles.

Oppo has a name of its own in the market of providing “different” Smartphone’s from its rival companies. These smart phones appeal to CyanogenMod users.

Oppo in the past have given Smartphone with CyanogenMod and was expected to do the same yet again. But the fans were disappointed as there are no talks of Find7 having CyanogenMod. Some images of the Smartphone with CyanogenMod are available on Chinese social network site Weibo though. This indicates that Find7 will be offered with popular ROM in near future. This however does not confirm that ROM will be given by Oppo on the device by default.

Oppo is still considering CyanogenMod for the Smartphone. The software and hardware specification of the Smartphone having to allow 50MP photos is known.

It has a 5.5-inch Quad HD 2560 x 1440 display, a Snapdragon 801 2.5GHz quad-core processor that hides under the hood. The actual camera of the Smartphone is 13MP and it uses Sony sensor that can take 10 photos in a row with a single 50 MP equivalent image.

1：The white and grey covers feel different. The white one has a solid touch with good friction, but is not dirt resistant. The grey is too slippery.

2：It will fully charge, I don’t know why it takes so long. Usually it stops at 93% or 91%, and needs to be unplugged and plugged back in to continue.

3：In general, it needs to charge twice daily since I like to watch the news. Compared to my previous 9300, luckily it charges really fast.

4：The screen cover is a joke, it does not stick well at all and there were small bubbles.

5：Everyone knows the problem with leather cases for cell phones, we do not need to mention it.

6：The earpiece audio is better than the current 9300 and iPhone. However it is disappointing that the slide volume controls and the actual button volume controls are not unified.

7：The camera function was pleasantly surprising. It was more than enough for a cell phone. The night scene slow shutter has not yet been tested. Because of the sleek body design, if you want to use the voice picture function, it is recommended to use a stand.

8：The operating system is satisfactory, still using 1.2 and not any messy pre-installed software, it is relatively functional. The Mobile Wallet has not been studied. During the test, the camera appeared to reload endlessly, like the 9300 before, the machine RAM forces the reload, and it is not fixed by restarting. This problem also appears in the OPPO 2GRAM. I found that too many of the pre-installed software did not release RAM, and have not tried the 2.0 to see if it improved. The internal memory card only recognizes FAT32.

To summarize:
A pretty good cell phone, functionally satisfactory, but one handed operation is impossible. A lot of programs do not slide to close, it is a pain to have to press to close them. It has a little trouble with the 4G signal, but that does not affect use.
