Today at an event in Beijing, Oppo has unveiled two highly anticipated handsets–the Oppo R7 and its big brother, the R7 Plus.

Display

Both smartphones are unique in their own way. The Oppo R7 features a 5-inch 1080p AMOLED display behind 2.5D glass. The R7 Plus has a 6-inch 1080p AMOLED display, featuring edge-to-edge technology–something you won’t see in its little brother.

Hardware

Powering the smartphones is a Qualcomm 615 chipset, featuring a 64-bit octa-core processor. They have 3GB of RAM, as Oppo says anything below that hinders the smartphone. The R7 has 16GB of built-in storage while its big brother has 32GB. Unlike many flagships we’re seeing today, the flagship duo has a microSD card slot for expandable storage.

Specs don’t stop there, though. The R7 and R7 Plus come packed with an excellent 13-megapixel camera behind a f/2.2 lens. With it, the R7 has phase detection autofocus, and a single-LED flash. The R7 Plus steps it up a bit with laser autofocus and dual-LED flash. The R7 Plus also has a fingerprint sensor on the back, something the R7 doesn’t have.

Finally, Oppo packed a 2,320mAh battery in the R7, and a whopping 4,100mAh battery in the R7 Plus. Both devices support VOOC charging, which Oppo says is four times faster than conventional charging. After only 30 minutes on the wire, 75% of your Oppo device’s battery should be restored.

Software

It also features Oppo’s latest ColorOS v2.1 atop of the latest Android version, 5.1. The R7 has the same ColorOS v2.1, but is only sporting Android 4.4. KitKat for now.

Oppo has been keen on making this new operating system version buttery smooth. They’ve been quite successful in doing that, boasting a boot time of a mere 18 seconds. It’s quite a leap when you consider that last version took 33 seconds.

Pricing and availability

Unfortunately, the device is only available in China right now. The Oppo R7 and R7 Plus are priced at CNY 2,499, and CNY 2,999, respectively. That exchanges to about $400 and $480 in US currency.

Starting tomorrow, Chinese consumers can purchase the smartphone over at at JD.com. International buys will unfortunately have to wait for a mid-June release for these two highly anticipated smartphones.

For about $400 and $480, the Oppo R7 and R7 Plus are one hell of a smartphone. Are you interested in picking one up?
