Earlier this month, the two leaked television ads for the handsets aired the Oppo 7 and Oppo 7 Plus with a suggested retail price of $483, which doesn't put the JD.com price far off the mark.
The Oppo R7 features a 5-inch AMOLED display, with a 441ppi pixel density and 1080 x 1920 resolution on top of a 64-bit Snapdragon 615 SoC, an octa-core 1.7Ghz CPU and Adreno 405 GPU under the phone's hood. It has 3 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage, and a dual SIM capacity.
The handset carries a 20.7 MP rear camera with higher-end digital camera Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) which brings with it an "anti-shake optimization" feature and a one second focus time. Oppo's Pure Image 2.0+ image processor installed in the handset will enable users to capture high resolution 50 MP images, with the 8 MP front camera featuring a selfie-centered "Beautify" mode.
The phone runs on a 2320mAh battery with Android 5.0 pre-installed on the device, and is currently advertised in a silver variant.
The Oppo R7 Plus, on the other hand, will sport a 5.9-inch screen offering the same FHD resolution and a 64-bit MediaTek MT6795 SoC and an octa-core CPU. While it also has 3 GB of RAM, its rear camera only has an 8 MP resolution.
Both handsets are built for VOOC rapid charging, giving users two hours of battery life after a five-minute round of charging.
