Oppo Find 7a - Review (condensed)

**A Review of the Oppo Phone: An Impressive Device with Advanced Features**

I recently had the opportunity to test the new Oppo phone, and I must say that it's an excellent device that covers all its bases. One of the things that impressed me the most is how well-integrated all the features are. For example, you can use two fingers to turn up the audio on the phone, and then turn it down again, up again, down again - this feature alone is really nice because it allows for a high degree of customization.

The phone also has a number of security settings that I found particularly useful. One of my favorite features is the guest mode, which allows you to create a separate profile for guests who may need access to certain features of the phone. Additionally, there's an application encryption feature that lets you choose specific apps that are not accessible by anyone except you. You can also add exceptions to this setting if you want certain apps to be accessible even when encryption is enabled. I was particularly impressed by the holiday mode, which allows you to set a schedule for when you're available or not. This is something that every phone should have - it's a must-have feature in my opinion.

Another feature that I found very useful is the data saving mode. When this is activated, no apps are allowed to run in the background, and any apps that try to consume network traffic, power, or CPU will be blocked. However, you can still add exceptions to this setting if you want certain apps to be able to run in the background. This feature is particularly useful for people who need to use their phone extensively while on the go.

The camera on the Oppo phone was also a pleasant surprise. I wasn't sure what to expect from its camera, but when I took pictures, the colors actually looked pretty nice. The phone can record 4K video, and the video comes out very sharp with good color. However, I did find that the 50 megapixel mode is more of a software trick than an actual increase in resolution. It's basically taking multiple shots and interweaving them together - it's not entirely impressive.

There are also several other camera features on the phone, including slow shutter mode, beauty face mode, panorama mode, HDR mode, and panorma mode. While I was able to get some nice pictures with these features, I did find that they didn't always produce the results I expected - particularly when it came to zooming in far.

One of the things that really impressed me about the Oppo phone is how quickly it charges. This means that I can keep using my phone for hours on end without having to worry about running out of battery. Overall, I'm very happy with this phone and think that it's a great option for anyone looking for a reliable device.

**A Closer Look at the Phone's Features**

The Oppo phone has several advanced features that set it apart from other devices. One of these is the ability to take screenshots with just three fingers - this feature alone is really nice because it allows for a high degree of customization. Additionally, there are several security settings on the phone that I found particularly useful.

One of my favorite security features is the guest mode, which allows you to create a separate profile for guests who may need access to certain features of the phone. This is particularly useful if you have family members or friends who will be using your phone regularly. Additionally, there's an application encryption feature that lets you choose specific apps that are not accessible by anyone except you.

The holiday mode is another feature that I found very useful. It allows you to set a schedule for when you're available or not - this is something that every phone should have. When you activate the holiday mode, your phone will display a message indicating that it's in holiday mode and that you're not available to take calls or messages during certain times.

The data saving mode is also a feature that I found very useful. When activated, no apps are allowed to run in the background, and any apps that try to consume network traffic, power, or CPU will be blocked. However, you can still add exceptions to this setting if you want certain apps to be able to run in the background.

**A Review of the Phone's Camera**

The camera on the Oppo phone was a pleasant surprise. I wasn't sure what to expect from its camera, but when I took pictures, the colors actually looked pretty nice. The phone can record 4K video, and the video comes out very sharp with good color.

One of the features that I found particularly useful is the slow shutter mode. This allows you to take slow-motion videos and capture some really interesting effects. However, I did find that it wasn't always easy to use - sometimes the phone would freeze or not focus properly.

The beauty face mode was also a feature that I found pleasant. It allows you to take pictures of yourself with a more flattering angle and lighting. While it's not entirely new, it's still a useful feature that can help improve your self-portraits.

**Conclusion**

Overall, I'm very happy with the Oppo phone. It's an excellent device with advanced features that make it stand out from other devices on the market. From its fast charging capabilities to its advanced security settings and camera features, this phone has something for everyone. If you're in the market for a new phone, I would definitely recommend checking out the Oppo phone - I think it's worth considering.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey everybody this is Erica the technology nerd who likes to film stuff and before me I've got the Oppo Fine 7A thank you so much Oppo for setting this out for me to look at I'm going to also be looking at the Fine 7 when that comes out as well now there's really not so many differences between the two the only differences are that this has the 1080 X1 1920 5.5 in display the one that's on the Fine 7 has the Quad HD display and it's also 5.5 in now I'm not really sure why anyone would want to have a Quad HD display at 5.5 in I don't think that a lot of people will notice a difference between 1080 and 1920 and Quad HD although if you are someone who's in China or if you're someone who's in Japan and you need to read characters that have a lot of details then I can see a Quad HD display having a lot of value but I will be the judge of that when I get a hold of the Fine 7 and I will let you all know if there really is a phenomenal difference other than that the Fine 7 is a little bit more expensive about $100 more expensive this one should be $500 and the fine s should be $600 so it's going to be up to you if you want to pay that extra $100 to get that little bit of boost and specs both of them have the Snapdragon 801 so this is the ab version versus the AC version that's on the Fine 7 which is just a little bit higher clocked but they both have all the exact same goodies and I am excited to show them to you because they're not like the regular ho hum of other devices that I've seen out these days although the HTC1 M8 did have a lot of new interesting features some people just consider them gimmicks and what's on here are not gimmicks they're actually really useful and implemented in a very nice way so I'm excited to show this to you and I will do so right now so what we've got here is the black model I'm going to go ahead and open the box you can see it's some nice looking plastic it's a good quality box now once we open up the box we are immediately presented with the phone which you can indeed see is the Black Version I think on the camera it looks a little bit bluish but they call this midnight it is indeed black they do include a screen protector that's been pre-installed unfortunately mine had a little bit of a bubble underneath it there was some type of debris or material so I had to remove it but no biggie because it has Gorilla Glass 3 and it feels so silky smooth that a screen protector kind of just ruins the experience so quickly on the front here we have a 5 megapixel camera we have a receiver we have some Capac of touch buttons along the bottom and what I really love is this pulsating light that's on the bottom in blue when I turn it on you'll be able to see it anytime I get a notification it's got an oscillating blue light and it makes it very hard to miss notifications and it's very pleasant to look at so I think they did a great job on that we've got a 13 megapixel camera on the back we've got a dual LED flash I'm going to go ahead and pop off this back cover which you can easily do with sliding your fingerna nail underneath what you can see here on the bottom indeed are stereo speakers and I can tell you already that they sound very very nice they're loud they actually have base to them and it's just something I really appreciate I also like that they're not along the bottom because when they're along the bottom in my experience they're more easy to cover so underneath here we have an SD card slot which is expandable up to 128 GB we've got a Micro SD card slot lot this looks like a microphone right here on the top what we have here is a standard headphone jack on the side we've got a volume rocker which is really nice and responsive and we've got our power button on the other side which is interesting because on Samsung phones it's usually the opposite where the volume rocker is on the leand side and the power button is on the right hand side either way that's been all right so setting that aside I want to open up the rest of the box here Oppo sent me the US version there's also an international version the US version has LTE bands band 4 band 17 so I can use it on T-Mobile or AT&T and get LTE so that's excellent now what I've just taken out of the box here is something that's very very interesting this is oppo's own proprietary charging system they call this vo rapid charge you can see we've got a micro USB charging port on the bottom of course alongside next to that microphone but this quick charging system is something amazing basically you're able to charge from 0 to 75% in a half hour and I can tell you already that just this ability to charge it quickly has made this my primary phone for these past few days because I know that I can plug it in I can leave it in there for 10 15 20 minutes and I've got plenty of charge most of the time when I put my device on a charger it's not near a 0% anyway so if I'm at 50% and I charge it for just 20 minutes I'm good to go again so that is just something amazing I don't know why other manufacturers don't include this the one thing though to pay attention to like I said is this is proprietary if you plug this into a wall and put it into another phone that does not support the vo charging system it's just going to charge it at 2 amps interesting thing though is I tried plugging this into several different Samsung devices and it just doesn't recognize it at all you can see that it's quite a bit longer than a normal connector so it will not go all the way into to anything but the Oppo 57 7A I did plug it into my HTC1 M8 and it recognized it just fine so it seems to be hit and miss so in general I'm going to use this charger only for the Oppo Fine 7 or 7A and you're going to need this of course to transfer data between your computer otherwise we've got some earphones we've also got some earbud replacements for various sizes that's all that's in there I made quite a mess got to set all that aside so we're going to turn it on now the battery that we have here is 2,800 milliamp hours the one that's in the opo find 7 I believe is 3,000 milliamp hours so it's got 200 milliamp hours more I'm not so sure about what that battery life's going to be like with a display that has that many pixels but even though the seven is going to have so many pixels if you just plug this in for several minutes you are good to go again so it's not so concerning as for the battery life that I'm noticing right now I'm getting about 4 and 1/2 hours of screen time about 15 hours so it definitely gets me through the day I do wish it lasted a little bit longer so one thing that I can say right now is that this is not final firmware so I'm hoping that as it gets to being more and more final that we'll start to see a little bit better battery life but still the battery life is not too bad now immediately you can see that this is a very big bright display you've got 401 pixels per inch it's incredibly sharp still at 5.5 in 1080P looks really great so I really don't see a need to go ahead and get Quad HD unless like I mentioned you really need to have Chinese characters looking sharp or if you just need that extra detail so this display has amazing viewing angles it gets nice and bright I can speak a little bit about the calibration of this display as well I noticed that it's pretty blue like pretty pretty blue that's something that I notice a a lot with LCDs I don't know if it has something to do with the backlight or if it just has to do with Oppo or whoever calibrated it not quite hitting the mark As for the colors I can tell that they're oversaturating in places the most obvious place where they're oversaturating is in greens that's just very very common it kind of reminds me of the LG G2 what LG is doing with the greens is they're really compressing them making something that just say is 50% green appear 100% green so I noticed when watching content there's a person in the foreground and there's some trees in the background that the trees look neon they just they just don't look natural at all and the person looks all right when I did some measurements I noticed that at least skin tones or midtones that's where skin tones resides is in midtones the midtones and skid tones seem to be pretty okay so it's a decent experience when I'm watching Netflix they did a good job on that so moving on I mentioned a little bit about the specifications the Find 7A is just a little bit lower spec so the Fine 7 and the fine 7A both have the Snapdragon 801 so this one's clocked at 2.3 GHz we've got four crate cores clocked at 2.3 GHz and the Fine 7 has four crate cores clocked at 2.5 GHz we've got 2 GB of RAM on this one and it's got 16 GB of internal storage versus the Fine 7 that has 32 GB of internal storage and 3 GB of RAM so choose your point in I think that the Fine 7 is just good enough performance has been just fine for me I want to bring some other phones into the picture you can see that we've got a Galaxy Note 3 you can see it's pretty much the same size as the Galaxy Note 3 stacking them on top of each other we can see that the fine 7A is taller but you can see that the Note 3 is a bit wider and setting them down next to each other I can see that they're pretty much the same thickness as well so I would not consider this a thick phone it does look nice and thin to me so here we have a Galaxy S5 and you can see that this is really much bigger than the Galaxy S5 you can see just how much bigger a 5.5 in display looks over the 5in display on the Galaxy S5 so this is not a small phone by any means so guys out there if you've had a Note 3 in your pocket or anything similar in size you probably know just how comfortable it is for some guys who have deeper Pockets I don't think you're going to have any issues but for guys who have more shallow Pockets it might be hitting your hip a little bit when you bend your knee for me it's just absolutely ridiculous I can actually do a pocket test but no more ridiculous than the Note 3 it just looks hilarious sticking out of my pocket so quick pocket test the most manageable device that I have in Pocket is the iPhone 5S this is a device that I like carrying around when I really want something small and so here we have the Galaxy Note 3 and we've got the Oppo Fine 7A you can see that they're very similar in size as I had showed you so let's go ahead and see what they look like in pocket so iPhone 5S keep this in mind you can see that it comes up about mid hip now for guys I think that this is pretty much where this device is going to come up on you in Pocket girls have shallow pockets it's really not fair but it's true so you can see on me this is just ridiculous it's pretty much going all the way up to my hip if I do anything like this it's just going to stab me so for guides it's probably going to be more around here and I can still sit at least comfortably with my iPhone 5s in pocket and the Oppo you can see that the Oppo is just a little bit taller so ladies it's not a manageable device you should probably just put it in your purse or if you're cool like me you can just walk around like this this is just super sexy at least it feels slim it's not a hugely bulky phone so I think it will be all right so now taking a look underneath about phone you can see it's called color o That's the skin that Oppo uses based on Android you can see here that it says Android version 4.3 so it's still Jelly Bean I haven't heard anything yet about a Kit Kat update but I'm really hoping that it gets one although performance has been actually pretty nice I haven't had any issues with stuttering even though this is not final firmware I've considered this a very smooth experience this is a very responsive phone very touch responsive indeed everything just feels liquidy smooth to me I have no complaints now what really gets me about this phone and what makes me want to use this phone is how well implemented some of the features are such as gesture and motion wake up blank screen let's just start with these two so underneath wake up blank screen is kind of like Okay Google you can see we turn it on it says you can wake up Google Now by speaking to the screen even when the screen is blank underneath here it says Hey Snapdragon oh and you can see that it already decided to listen to me you can tell that it's listening for me when you see this little jobber here the Oppo guy so even when it's off I can say Okay Snapdragon and there you are so that's really a nice feature it's always listening it does have an always listening feature like the Moto X now my favorite thing is gesture and motion there's just so many things that you can do under here you can add a custom gesture such as underneath here you have your gesture panel this quarter of the screen is just designated for gesture panel so if you swipe downward it's going to bring this up you can tell it to do so many different things from drawing a circle it's going to open up the camera drawing a v is going to turn on the flashlight you can program it to go to a website such as me checking out AdSense I can make a dollar sign and it's going to bring me right into what I need to if I make an M it's going to call Mom you can even open up applications so you can see open app let's just say that we want to open up the music app so we can make a note looking thing so now when we go underneath the gesture panel we make a note looking thing it's going to bring us into the music app so I really love that and also what I really love is it's listening when the screen is off as well so just say that I want to open up the camera without having to turn on the device again you can do a circle and it opens up the camera for you these are called screen off gestures and these ones are actually pred decided Oppo has added a bunch of them in here you can't add any more gestures although you can program the gestures to be what you want them to be so I decided the M would be calling my mom if I want to open up Netflix all I have to do is this and it brings me right into Netflix we've got other various motion controls one that I really like is activate the camera with multi-finger pinch so for example I can activate the camera from anywhere anywhere in the phone it does not matter and there you go it it instantly brings it up it's not something that takes forever it recognizes your fingers instantly and it's just incredibly snap happy anywhere that I am look how fast that is so you can double tap to turn on the display you can double tap on the home button to turn it off at the bottom I just really love how they've implemented these gesture features I'm using them all the time it's really just excellent they cover their bases so well you can even use two fingers to turn up the audio and then you can turn it down again up again down again this is really nice you can turn all those features off if if you don't want them on but that's just it just works so well and it just makes me so happy inside I really feel with this phone that I'm able to interact with it and it understands me again three fingers for example and I can take a screenshot so just there's a lot to remember and you don't have to turn them all on you can just keep them off if you don't want them but really A+ I'm also really liking the extra security settings that they include we've got a guest mode I really love application encryption if you go underneath application encryption I've chosen two different things to say if someone gets a hold of my phone and I don't want them going underneath my photos for whatever reason or I don't want people seeing what's going on underneath my Google keep I can add them by saying encrypt apps put my password in and I can choose whatever I want to not be accessible by anybody so you can see when I do go underneath photos there you are people can't get into my apps you've also got a holiday mode which lets you add permitted contacts and lets you set time when you don't want to be bothered this is something that every single phone should have no excuse we have a Nifty data saving mode you can see right now it says no app is allowed to run in the background so when this is activated it says apps in the background will not be able to consume Network traffic power and CPU when data saving is on so I can add my exceptions things that I do want to keep running in the background but this is a very excellent feature also lets you see which applications are running a lot in the background using a lot of data so it gives you a data ranking so really nice job here Oppo there's things that I haven't seen in other devices that you just integrate right into here the last thing that I want to talk a little bit about is the camera I wasn't sure what to expect with this camera I'm happy to say that when I take pictures the colors actually look pretty nice and this has 4K video as well you can record 4K video and the 4K video comes out nice and sharp the colors are nice in video this is Pike Place so they did a pretty good job here you see you've got several different settings you have the ability to make a gif Audio Photo we've seen a couple of these before HD picture which is interesting lets you take a 50 megapixel picture it's kind of a software trick it's been okay but honestly it's not all that impressive it's basically taking 10 shots and interweaving them this is only a 13 megapixel sensor so really it's just it's a software trick it's fun but when I zoom in really far I I really don't see an incredible amount of resolution so it's okay we've got a slow shutter mode there's the beauty face mode to call calm down any types of blemishes on your face Panorama HDR HDR mode is actually pretty nice as well I have a couple pictures in Seattle on a very overcast day and I think that the results come out very nice so needless to say I am quite pleased I am excited to see how it improves as time goes on just for the fact that I'm able to charge this very quickly I really want to keep this phone around there's just something about it I keep picking it up over something even like the Galaxy S 5 I've kind of lost interest in the Galaxy S5 in favor of the Oppo so very nice job Oppo making a phone that I feel that I can interact with I'm not sure if I'm going to have time to do a full an hour in-depth review but if you guys ask me some questions maybe I can make another video about this so indeed please ask me questions down in the comment section below I'm sure I can make an update video based on those questions so thank you everybody for watching this has been Erica the technology nerd who likes to film stuff please rate comment And subscribe also make sure to follow the link in the description to my go+ page because that's where I write a lot of things these days if I'm updating on something I put it on Google+ you can interact with me on my threads in Google+ so when I post a video about this opo you can comment inside my Google+ thre I ask questions there that it's probably a really great place to ask it and to interact with me I really love this I think this is really promising and I can't wait to see the fine s so have a good night you guyshey everybody this is Erica the technology nerd who likes to film stuff and before me I've got the Oppo Fine 7A thank you so much Oppo for setting this out for me to look at I'm going to also be looking at the Fine 7 when that comes out as well now there's really not so many differences between the two the only differences are that this has the 1080 X1 1920 5.5 in display

the Fine 7 is a little bit more expensive about $100 more expensive this one should be $500 and the fine s should be $600 so it's going to be up to you if you want to pay that extra $100 to get that little bit of boost and specs both of them have the Snapdragon 801 so this is the ab version versus the AC version that's on the Fine 7 which is just a little bit higher clocked but they both have all

set all that aside so we're going to turn it on now the battery that we have here is 2,800 milliamp hours the one that's in the opo find 7 I believe is 3,000 milliamp hours so it's got 200 milliamp

see that the fine 7A is taller but you can see that the Note 3 is a bit wider and setting them down next to each other I can see that they're pretty much the same thickness as well so I would not consider this a thick phone it does look nice and thin to me so here we have a Galaxy S5 and you can see that this is really much bigger than the Galaxy S5 you can see just how much bigger a 5.5 in display looks over the 5in display on the Galaxy S5 so this is not a small phone by any means so guys out there if you've had a Note 3 in your pocket or anything similar in size you probably know just how comfortable it is for some guys who have deeper Pockets I don't think you're going to have any issues but for guys who have more shallow Pockets it might be hitting your hip a little bit when you bend your knee for me it's just absolutely ridiculous I can actually do a pocket test but no more ridiculous than the Note 3 it just looks hilarious sticking out of my pocket so quick pocket test the most manageable device that I have in Pocket is the iPhone 5S this is a device that I like carrying around when I really want something small and so here we have the Galaxy Note 3 and we've got the Oppo Fine 7A you can see that they're very similar in size as I had showed you so let's go ahead and see what they look like in pocket so iPhone 5S keep this in mind you can see that it comes up about mid hip now for guys I think that this is pretty much where this device is going to come up on you in Pocket girls have shallow pockets it's really not fair but it's true so you can see on me this is just ridiculous it's pretty much going all the way up to my hip if I do anything like this it's just going to stab me so for guides it's probably going to be more around here and I can still sit at least comfortably with my iPhone 5s in pocket and the Oppo you can see that the Oppo is just a little bit taller so ladies it's not a manageable device you should probably just put it in your purse or if you're cool like me you can just walk around like this this is just super sexy at least it feels slim it's not a hugely bulky phone so I think it will be all right so now taking a look underneath about phone you can see it's called color o That's the skin that Oppo uses based on Android you can see here that it says Android version 4.3 so it's still Jelly Bean I haven't heard anything yet about a Kit Kat update but I'm really hoping that it gets one although performance has been actually pretty nice I haven't had any issues with stuttering even though this is not final firmware I've considered this a very smooth experience this is a very responsive phone very touch responsive indeed everything just feels liquidy smooth to me I have no complaints now what really gets me about this phone and what makes me want to use this phone is how well implemented some of the features are such as gesture and motion wake up blank screen let's just start with these two so underneath wake up blank screen is kind of like Okay Google you can see we turn it on it says you can wake up Google Now by speaking to the screen even when the screen is blank underneath here it says Hey Snapdragon oh and you can see that it already decided to listen to me you can tell that it's listening for me when you see this little jobber here the Oppo guy so even when it's off I can say Okay Snapdragon and there you are so that's really a nice feature it's always listening it does have an always listening feature like the Moto X now my favorite thing is gesture and motion there's just so many things that you can do under here you can add a custom gesture such as underneath here you have your gesture panel this quarter of the screen is just designated for gesture panel so if you swipe downward it's going to bring this up you can tell it to do so many different things from drawing a circle it's going to open up the camera drawing a v is going to turn on the flashlight you can program it to go to a website such as me checking out AdSense I can make a dollar sign and it's going to bring me right into what I need to if I make an M it's going to call Mom you can even open up applications so you can see open app let's just say that we want to open up the music app so we can make a note looking thing so now when we go underneath the gesture panel we make a note looking thing it's going to bring us into the music app so I really love that and also what I really love is it's listening when the screen is off as well so just say that I want to open up the camera without having to turn on the device again you can do a circle and it opens up the camera for you these are called screen off gestures and these ones are actually pred decided Oppo has added a bunch of them in here you can't add any more gestures although you can program the gestures to be what you want them to be so I decided the M would be calling my mom if I want to open up Netflix all I have to do is this and it brings me right into Netflix we've got other various motion controls one that I really like is activate the camera with multi-finger pinch so for example I can activate the camera from anywhere anywhere in the phone it does not matter and there you go it it instantly brings it up it's not something that takes forever it recognizes your fingers instantly and it's just incredibly snap happy anywhere that I am look how fast that is so you can double tap to turn on the display you can double tap on the home button to turn it off at the bottom I just really love how they've implemented these gesture features I'm using them all the time it's really just excellent they cover their bases so well you can even use two fingers to turn up the audio and then you can turn it down again up again down again this is really nice you can turn all those features off if if you don't want them on but that's just it just works so well and it just makes me so happy inside I really feel with this phone that I'm able to interact with it and it understands me again three fingers for example and I can take a screenshot so just there's a lot to remember and you don't have to turn them all on you can just keep them off if you don't want them but really A+ I'm also really liking the extra security settings that they include we've got a guest mode I really love application encryption if you go underneath application encryption I've chosen two different things to say if someone gets a hold of my phone and I don't want them going underneath my photos for whatever reason or I don't want people seeing what's going on underneath my Google keep I can add them by saying encrypt apps put my password in and I can choose whatever I want to not be accessible by anybody so you can see when I do go underneath photos there you are people can't get into my apps you've also got a holiday mode which lets you add permitted contacts and lets you set time when you don't want to be bothered this is something that every single phone should have no excuse we have a Nifty data saving mode you can see right now it says no app is allowed to run in the background so when this is activated it says apps in the background will not be able to consume Network traffic power and CPU when data saving is on so I can add my exceptions things that I do want to keep running in the background but this is a very excellent feature also lets you see which applications are running a lot in the background using a lot of data so it gives you a data ranking so really nice job here Oppo there's things that I haven't seen in other devices that you just integrate right into here the last thing that I want to talk a little bit about is the camera I wasn't sure what to expect with this camera I'm happy to say that when I take pictures the colors actually look pretty nice and this has 4K video as well you can record 4K video and the 4K video comes out nice and sharp the colors are nice in video this is Pike Place so they did a pretty good job here you see you've got several different settings you have the ability to make a gif Audio Photo we've seen a couple of these before HD picture which is interesting lets you take a 50 megapixel picture it's kind of a software trick it's been okay but honestly it's not all that impressive it's basically taking 10 shots and interweaving them this is only a 13 megapixel sensor so really it's just it's a software trick it's fun but when I zoom in really far I I really don't see an incredible amount of resolution so it's okay we've got a slow shutter mode there's the beauty face mode to call calm down any types of blemishes on your face Panorama HDR HDR mode is actually pretty nice as well I have a couple pictures in Seattle on a very overcast day and I think that the results come out very nice so needless to say I am quite pleased I am excited to see how it improves as time goes on just for the fact that I'm able to charge this very quickly I really want to keep this phone around there's just something about it I keep picking it up over something even like the Galaxy S 5 I've kind of lost interest in the Galaxy S5 in favor of the Oppo so very nice job Oppo making a phone that I feel that I can interact with I'm not sure if I'm going to have time to do a full an hour in-depth review but if you guys ask me some questions
