Since making it’s debut in Malaysia last year, the company managed to secure over 10% of market share, making the brand one-of-the top three smartphone brands in the country. With these two new models coming next month, it won’t be a surprise to see Oppo Malaysia capturing more market share.

Oppo R7 Plus

The company’s latest flagship model, the OPPO R7 Plus, has a full metal unibody design and features a 2.5D Arc Edge display with a subtle curve on the edge of the screen. The design aims to provide a more comfortable grip while giving it an artistic appearance.

Moreover, the phone is equipped with the VOOC Flash charging system, which reduces charging time up to 50 per cent for the 4,100mHA large capacity battery. With only 5 minutes of charging time, the R7 Plus is powered up to 2 hours of talk time.

Built-in with a 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera, the phone also incorporates the New Flash Shot technology used exclusively for the OPPO R7 series, featuring the new dual-drive hybrid focus system. This includes the laser focus, anti-shake optimisation, Contrast Detection Autofocus (AF) and the new Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF) which ensures rapid launch, fast focus and stable images.

Consists of a 6-inch 16M AMOLED colour display with a full HD 1920 X 1080 pixel resolution, the OPPO R7 Plus is powered by a 64-bit Octa-Core Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 615 processor clocking at 1.5GHz and is mated to a 3GB RAM.

Oppo R7 Lite

The second variant, the OPPO R7 Lite, is a smaller version that operates similarly to the OPPO R7 Plus. In addition to the full metal unibody, 2.5D curved screen, and octa-core processor, the lite version is made up with a 5-inch 16M AMOLED colour display that sits comfortably at a dimension of 143mm X 71mm X 6.3mm.

OPPO R7 Lite is also equipped with a 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera, integrated with the New Flash Shot technology featuring the new dual-drive hybrid focus system. This includes the anti-shake optimisation, Contrast Detection Autofocus (AF) and the new Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF).
