Chinese
Electronics manufacturer OPPO is the newest entrant in Pakistan’s smartphone
market. The company managed to make an impression in many International markets
by bringing some unique smartphones, including Find 5, N1 and now Find 7.
During its
soft launch in the country, OPPO has released 4 phones in the market. Find 7a
is their flagship device, sold at a price of Rs. 49,900 in the major cities of
Pakistan.
With its
impressive specifications and unique features, OPPO Find 7a is a worthy
competitor to most of the current flagship devices, including Galaxy S5 and HTC
M8.
Find 7a is
not to be confused with Find 7, which packs more RAM and storage, featuring 2K
display.
We’ve got
the device for review a couple of days ago, while the full review is work in
progress, I have decided to share my first impressions.
Let’s start
with the unboxing and a brief tour of Color OS.
Find 7a is
quite a big phone, I won’t say a phablet because comparatively it is easy to
hold and operate. The front side is dominated by the 5.5 inch IPS screen,
offering 1080p resolution (403ppi pixel density). The display is bright and
vivid, The screen also features Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.

The most
prominent feature on the front is the skyline notifications LED, which pulses a
blue light, to notify you about missed calls, SMS or while charging. It gives
the phone a futuristic look.
The Astro
Black version we’ve got has a textured removable backplate, it also comes with
white and grey colors. To unlock the backplate you have to use a pin, under the
hood you’ll find microSD, micro SIM and battery slots.

Find 7a
features a primary 13 megapixel Sony sensor with f 2.0 aperture. It has the
ability to record 4K videos and take 50MP images. It features a dual LED flash
light.
The camera
performs real fast and the images come out bright and clear. The camera
application is pretty simple, it offers some fun tools including ability to
shoot RAW, make GIFs and slow shutter.
A secondary
5-megapixel camera is on the front for selfies and video calling. Though it is
not good as the primary camera but does the job well.

Find 7a is
powered by 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB
internal storage. It runs a customized version of Android, dubbed as Color OS.
The current
version of Color is based upon Android Jelly Bean 4.3. Unlike many other
Android customizations, Color OS runs pretty smooth and you won’t face any lag
during the normal operation of this device. I haven’t played any resource
hungry games on this device yet, but I’m sure that it can handle the extra load
very well.
I’ll discuss
more about the Color OS in the full review, for now I can tell you that it
extends the functionality of Android and brings some useful features, like
motion gestures and the ability to customize the UI as you desire.
Finally
let’s talk about the battery and fast charging. Find 7a packs a 2800mAh
battery, which as per my experience drains pretty fast. Don’t worry charging
the phone won’t take long. The much hyped VOOC fast charging lives up to its
reputation. Its a huge plus in the current electricity load-shedding season, as
it takes just an hour to fully charge the phone.

Find 7a is
currently the most affordable flagship phone in Pakistan. It has a premium
build quality and packs top-notch hardware.
Though it
doesn’t feature a metal design, water protection, fingerprint scanner and other
gimmicks, still I will call it a worthy competitor.
OPPO has the
potential to become the favourite smartphone manufacturer among the high-end
segment in Pakistan, all they need is time and few brilliant marketing
campaigns.
