OPPO F7 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Shekhar Thakran]()
Verdict
The OPPO F7 has been launched by the company at a starting price of Rs 21,990. In this price range, the handset will be competing against the likes of the Vivo V9 (review) and the Moto X4 (review). However, Vivo V9 offers a slightly better camera and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro offers better value for money as an overall package. While the F7 does fare well in many aspects, if it was priced more competitively, it would have been easier to recommend the smartphone. However, as of now, the novelty of the notch and the stylish design might be the primary reasons to buy this handset.
Pros
- Smooth performance
- Impressive display
- Good battery life
- Currently popular notch design
Cons
- Feels slippery in hands at times
- Build quality could have been better
- Price
Design and Display
+
In terms of design, the OPPO F7 comes with a glossy back with a glass-like finish and a compact body. The handset does not feel unwieldy in the hand despite its large display, thanks to the edge-to-edge design. It's fairly light in terms of weight too. However, as the back is glossy, the handset does feel slippery at times. The fingerprint scanner is conveniently placed in the middle at the back and is easily accessible. The volume rocker and power buttons are respectively placed on the left and right side of the smartphone. The speaker grille and a 3.5mm headphone jack are located at the bottom. Unfortunately, it's very easy to block the speaker with your palm and muffle the audio while watching videos.

Moving on to the optics, while the company is not offering a dual camera module (which has become fairly common across different price segments), the rear-facing sensor on the OPPO F7 managed to click some impressive pictures for us. The handset allows users to put AR stickers on faces as well as take pictures in panorama mode. The 'Expert' mode is essentially an equivalent of the Pro mode available in other smartphones and allows users to adjust the shutter speed, EV, and ISO among other options to click pictures as per their preferences. While the rear camera did take images with a good amount of detail in brightly-lit outdoor conditions, even in low-light, it managed to snap some impressive pictures.

Software
+
The OPPO F7 runs Android 8.1 Oreo-based ColorOS v5.0 out of the box and while the custom UI does not have excessive bloatware, the company has offered some neat features that work towards improving the utility of the operating system. The first thing you will note about the software features that are meant to make navigation easier will be that OPPO has taken inspiration from the iOS implementation on the iPhone X. This means you can choose the preferred gesture layout and then swipe up from any app to go to the home screen, and swipe up from the bottom of the screen and hold to bring up recent tasks. Interestingly, unlike iOS, OPPO has provided four gesture layout options to users. If the gestures seem too cumbersome, you can choose the ‘Virtual Key Navigation' option to get virtual keys for Recents, Home, and Back.
