Exclusive: New Oppo F7 leaked, smartphone to have iPhone X-style notched display

At Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018, Oppo was one of the company’s missing in action. It seems that they skipped MWC to launch a new flagship at a standalone event. We got our hands on a never-before-seen render of this upcoming device.

Here’s what we know so far:

The upcoming phone will be called the Oppo F7. It’s a successor to the Oppo F5, launched last year. The most obvious feature you can see is the iPhone X-style notched display. We’re fairly certain of our source and they have confirmed that the phone will have a 6.2-inch screen with FHD+ resolution. Thanks to the ultra-slim bezels, it has a screen-to- body-ratio of 89.09%. Exact screen resolution is not available, but it should be around 2246 x 1080 pixels.

Here's a closer look:

Another confirmed feature from the leaked image is that the Oppo F7 will feature a 25MP front camera. We expect it to improve on the Artificial Intelligence features from the Oppo F5 to deliver superior selfies. The source also confirmed that the Oppo F7 will feature improved, real-time HDR, an enhanced beauty mode and AR stickers when using the front camera. From the image, it’s also clear that it will have a 3.5mm audio jack and the vibrant red colour will be one of the available options.

We expect it to be powered by an octa core Mediatek processor, 4/6GB RAM and 64GB storage (expandable). The phone is likely to launch in India between 28 to 30 March.
