Oppo Find 7a review: A-lister

05 May 2014
Oppo has been consistently living up to its name as an innovator in the mobile space and actually over-delivering in terms of user experience and features. To be fair, it’s only going to get harder for them – this was easily a brand to approach with...

                  Current is drawn and not pushed (like voltage) so as long as it's still 5v which it is then you can use the charger for anything just like the current crop of 2.1a chargers.

                      The stereo crosstalk is somewhat noticeable to be honest. But that's about it, MaxxAudio really does help. I come from HTC One M7 and I'm not disappointed, just not as happy as I could have been about the sound had it not been for the crosstalk... external speakers are LOUD, but not as high quality as the M7. Still pretty good though!

                        Wow! and this impressive review is just for the lower sibling of Find7? I think I would face a difficult situation on August when I have to replace my current Z1 to the newer one... Will it be Find7 or Z2?

                            "OnePlus was founded in December 2013 by Pete Lau, previously Vice President at OPPO. Whilst OnePlus states that it is an independent start-up company, it was revealed in April 2014 by Shenzhen Municipal Market Supervisory Authority (SIPO) records that OnePlus is a wholly owned subsidiary of Oppo Electronics. On April 28, 2014, OnePlus officially confirmed that Oppo electronics held shares within the OnePlus brand. However, Oneplus reiterated that it remains a "separately run company" from Oppo electronics and its other subsidiary, OPPO mobile."

                                  A typo in the Synthetic benchmarks and performance page. You've got two Samsung Galaxy S5 in the Geekbench 3 scores instead of the first one being the Oppo Find 7a.

                                      Your article points the lack of FM radio. For that matter, there's no Infrared either. There goes the universal remote control :-(

So anyone considering this oppo phone should wait until these two phones are compared by gsm arena. I hope they'll do a versus article on the oneplus one versus the oppo. And then the winner of that versus some other flag ships.
