Side edges, as far as the smartphone market is concerned, are doomed to disappear. Asian manufacturers have already taken note of this market trend, and new leaked photographs of the Oppo R7 reveal the path that Chinese mobiles will take in the coming months. The Oppo R7 appears to be an upper-middle-range smartphone whose most striking visual feature is the absence of side edges on the screen.
According to information known at this time, the Oppo R7 is a smartphone that could be presented in the coming weeks with a design whose thickness is set at 4.85 mm. The images that have been leaked on this occasion come from the Asian social network Weibo , and in them you can see that the Oppo R7 screen extends to the sides of the mobile, giving rise to a quite steep angle. The terminal that appears in the photographs seems to be in a fairly advanced development phase, so that there are quite a few possibilities that the Oppo R7 will finally be as can be seen in these images.
The Oppo R7 is a smartphone destined to succeed the Oppo R5 that was presented during the month of December of last year 2014, and among its technical specifications it is expected to incorporate an eight-core MediaTek processor (model MT6795), 4G LTE connectivity of ultra-fast Internet, a main camera of 20.7 megapixels and one of the latest versions of the operating system Android. In the case of a smartphone of Asian origin, the characteristic in which this mobile will probably seek to highlight is in the price, although it must not be forgotten that its predecessor could be purchased in European territory for a figure that reached 400 euros.
And what features did the Oppo R5 incorporate ? This terminal started from a thin design especially whose thickness was set at 4.9 mm, and in its casing hiding a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 of eight cores, 2 gigabytes of RAM, 16 gigabytes of memory (without possible extension to through an external memory card, and apparently the Oppo R7 maintain this absence slot microSD), a main chamber 13 megapixels, operating system Android version ofAndroid 4.4.4 KitKat and a battery with 2,000 mAh capacity. The screen of the Oppo R5 had a size of 5.2 inches, was AMOLED and reached a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, and hopefully the new R7 maintain an identical screen size.
At the moment the exact date on which the new Oppo R7 will be presented is unknown, although all Asian media agree that its presentation should be just around the corner.
