Oppo Find X7 comes with Dimensity 9300, only one telephoto camera

08 January 2024
The phone gets less impressive cameras and loses the 6x periscope telephoto shooter.

Sort by:

I thought the purple color was beautiful and different.

    6.82" screen? This is getting ridiculous, and I thought the 6.74" of the Find X6 was the biggest they are going to be. They ruined phones like they ruined lots of things....

    I miss the 6.4"/ 6.5" / 6.6" phones, only Samsung makes them :(

        Uggliest phone I've ever seen. Designer did really horrible thing.

          Case in point :
          S20 Ultra and Note20 Ultra, everyone used 1080p for 120hz.
          Resolution is not important on a phone after hitting FHD+, I'm not talking about FHD, but FHD+, that is 1260p or something.

            A small mistake - I don't think the vanilla Find X7 is equipped with wireless charging, why don't u check the spec sheet carefully? @Yordan.

I don't care much about this myself but they've said it's the cheaper type of motor being used. The screen is not being shared by the Vivo x100 pro. Vivo is using mixed screens from BOE and Visonox so there will be differences depending on which one you get. The screens on the find x7 ultra is shared with the Oneplus 12 and the screen on the find x7 is shared with the Realme gt5 pro. These are all BOE's best screens with the latest tech and it's basically just the resolution that differs. For me the 1.5k one is also enough but it's obviously a little worse than a 2k one. It was announced at launch and numerous times on Weibo that Oneplus 12 is using the same the same algorithym as the find x series. It has been officially stated that the exact same camera team optimising the find x series is optimising the oneplus 12 this time (they didn't in the past). Of course there will still be a difference especially since the ISP in the Dimensity 9300 is difference from the ISP in the Snapdragon 8 gen 3. Personally I'd probably go for the Find x7 as it's a bit lighter due to the smaller battery but objectively, the Oneplus 12 does have the better hardware overall

It was also announced at the launch that the Oneplus is using the Find x algorithm and the optimisation of the Oneplus cameras has been performed by the same team resonsible for the Find x7 series camera optimisation. They are also using the same software. Oneplus also has the better screen. These differences may not matter to many but the hardware is better. You can argue whether or not the dimensity is better (as in some areas it outperforms the snapdragon but it loses in other areas) but most customers, at least Chinese consumers will prefer the snapdragon chip. That's why they put the snapdragon in the find x7 ultra.

                  Iphone 6s+ and Sony Z4 were bashed by readers here for being FHD while S6 was QHD.
                  Now phones have screens almost 2x larger, but ppl claim 2320x1080 is enough to justify why some phones still dont have QHD/4K ..

                    - dimensity 9300 has a higher score in compare to S8gen3 .
                    - oppo optimization is better
                    Usb 3.2 and wireless charging is the only "major difference" but you will need to pay more.

The better screen isn't THAT different, we're talking a 2-5% improvement at best considering that the X100 Pro's screen (which I think is shared with this phone) gets brighter than an S23U. FHD+ is more than enough for a 6.8 inch phone, for 12 inch phones and beyond QHD *might* be needed. The most crucial advantages are the USB 3.2 and the better motor. People can live with USB 2.0, kind of. But how is the motor better? Like did you check it out or are you talking about it based on Oppo and Oneplus's track record?

                        Gonna canibalize sales of OP12.
                        Oppo should have X7u for China while OP12 overseas.

                          idkBg091, 08 Jan 2024Better then OnePlus 12Nah. It's missing usb3.2, a 2k screen, wireless charging and has a worse ultrawide camera and way way weaker motor than the Oneplus 12. Overall, the hardware is definitely weaker. The advantage is it's slightly cheaper (300rmb)

They are very similar but the Oneplus does have the overall hardware advantage with a better screen, a much better motor, usb3.2, and a better ultrawide camera and wireless charging

                              Aierlan, 08 Jan 2024True, but the competitors from Xiaomi, Vivo and Iqoo are al... more18 mm ain't wide, even 15 mm ain't that wide but 18 mm is just way too close to the 23 mm, maybe the huge sensor wasn't that worth it considering Oppo had a similarly sized sensor with good enough aperture on the Find X6 Pro and considering that Oppo was confident enough in Sony's new technology to ditch the 1/1.56" sensor for the LYT-600, maybe that one's gonna be the new champ as it's wide at 14mm

                                Isn't this telephoto cam a downgrade compared to the one on the Find X6? 1/2" vs 1/1.56".
                                The UW cam was a downgrade for the Find X6 compared to the Find X5, Oppo's just jumping from one thing to another. Honestly apart from the chip and maybe the main cam I don't think this is an upgrade from the Find X6 unless the new ISP is able to perform magic ofc. This was kind of a dumb move from Oppo, the Find X6 was the hidden gem of last year and now they've kinda lost it. The jump from 1/2" to 1/1.56" isn't small and considering the Find X6 Pro's zoom was loved by nearly everyone, it's a damn shame. The X100 Pro is amazing cus of its Zeiss partnership and 4.3X zoom, but this is only 3x. Pretty weird stuff from Oppo honestly. The Samsung JN1 is kind of a bummer to have in flagship phones but good in flagship killers such as the OP 12. Wish at least the Find X7 had 5400 Mah of battery but even that isn't the case. Oppo's lineup is a tad weird this time considering that even the Ultra doesn't have that much battery and the new periscope on that phone is smaller than this phone's periscope, granted it's a longer range zoom but still, kinda weird.
                                This phone doesn't seem like it's worth the hassle to import, unlike the absolute gem that was the Find X6, unless this phone's price is on par with the Oneplus 12 if not less. Not holding my breath though.

                                  Better then OnePlus 12
