OPPO R7 Plus review: The enlarged "heartthrob" is even more beautiful

OPPO R7, known as the "heartthrob", is an eye-catching model in the domestic mobile phone market this year, but even a "heartthrob" may not satisfy everyone.

Some people want to experience new features such as fingerprint recognition, some want a bigger screen, and some want to go further in terms of system and photo-taking experience.

Now, the emergence of OPPO R7 Plus is to meet the needs of more people.

Screen Plus

The overall design style of OPPO R7 Plus is consistent with that of OPPO R7. The all-metal body is well-made. The gold version is very close to the "rich gold" color of Apple iPhone and also brings a good visual experience.

The most intuitive feeling of OPPO R7 Plus is the increase in size. It adopts a three-stage design. The 6-inch large screen makes the screen-to-body ratio of the front of the machine reach 76.33%. Of course, like the iPhone 6 Plus, the larger screen also makes the 2.5D curved effect around the screen not as obvious as the previous OPPO R7. However, this time, OPPO has already put a film on the screen of R7 Plus in advance, which solves a major problem for the curved screen.

The 6-inch AMOLED material 1080P resolution equipped with OPPO R7 Plus has excellent overall performance. In addition to the size, the biggest change compared with OPPO R7 is that the three major buttons below the screen are moved inside the screen and become virtual buttons. The operating logic of the menu, home page, and return button is no different from before, and the narrower virtual button low bar will not take up too much display space inside the screen.

System Plus

When OPPO announced the launch of Color OS 2.1, the biggest regret was that Android 5.0 was not seen on the OPPO R7, the first product equipped with the new system. It was not until OPPO R7 Plus that Color OS finally caught the express train of Android 5.0.

As both are running Color OS 2.1, the interface design of OPPO R7 Plus is not much different from that of OPPO R7. Combined with 64-bit Android 5.0 and MediaTek 64-bit MT6795M processor, the complete 64-bit operating environment still improves the user experience of the whole machine.

With a running score of nearly 45,000 points and 3GB of RAM, the configuration and performance of OPPO R7 Plus may not be top-notch, but it is enough for OPPO R7 Plus to handle large-scale games and multi-tasking operations without any pressure.

Fingerprint Plus

OPPO R7 Plus is not OPPO's first mobile phone with fingerprint function, but it is still exciting to give the "heartthrob" a fingerprint.

The fingerprint recognition module of OPPO R7 Plus is set on the back. For a large mobile phone, it is obviously more appropriate to use the index finger to press the fingerprint. The rectangular fingerprint area adopts a non-pressable touch form for fingerprint recognition, and will give feedback with vibration when touched.

The fingerprint function of Android phones is not rare. The recognition efficiency of OPPO R7 Plus is also quite ideal. Unfortunately, the use of fingerprints is relatively simple. In addition to regular screen unlocking, it only supports specific program encryption. The fingerprint gestures available on other phones, and even the fingerprint camera available on OPPO N3 before, cannot be realized in the version of the system we use.

Photo Plus

The OPPO R7 Plus has a 8-megapixel front-facing camera and a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera combination, and a 4-color RGBW sensor camera. We have already been impressed by the camera performance of the OPPO R7, and the OPPO R7 Plus has even added black technology such as laser focus.

On the back of the phone, in addition to the slightly raised main camera and dual flash, there is also a ray emitting area on the right side similar to the top of a TV remote control, which is the working area of ​​the laser focus.

From the actual performance, the focusing speed of OPPO R7 Plus can almost be described as completely following the hand. The focus position on the screen is reached immediately after clicking. Especially in scenes with large light contrast, the lens can also follow the changes in ambient light metering in real time, with high usability.

Actual sample photos show that in the same scene, the OPPO R7 Plus has brighter colors than the iPhone 6 Plus. Benefiting from the high pixels, the picture details are also more complete, maintaining OPPO's advantage in mobile phone photography.

Battery Plus

The exclusive VOOC flash charging enables OPPO phones to have the ability to "charge for five minutes and talk for two hours", and the OPPO R7 Plus with a 4100mAh large battery is undoubtedly a more direct way to solve the power consumption problem of mobile phones.

Under normal circumstances, the OPPO R7 Plus is more than enough to be used for a day and a half, and the standby power consumption can be controlled within 5% overnight. Playing a large game for half an hour consumes about 10% of the power. The large-capacity battery plays a significant positive role in battery life.

Summarize:

As a "heartthrob", it goes without saying that the OPPO R7 series of products are very good-looking. As for the OPPO R7 Plus, in addition to being seen as an enlarged version of the OPPO R7, it is also a perfect version of the OPPO R7 in many aspects of software and hardware.

A larger screen, a trendy fingerprint function, laser focus and excellent battery life. If the previous OPPO R7 was somewhat suspected of "relying on its face", then the "heartthrob" OPPO R7 Plus has more comprehensive strength.
