there's a very interesting trend happening lately of very thin smartphones high-end design lower than flagship price points and a Snapdragon 615 processor under the hood last year's Oppo r5 was one of the first and this year's Oppo r7 takes the trend a step further I'm high metal Yvetta with pocket now and join us for our first impressions of the Oppo r7 the most striking first impression of the r7 is that even though the phone is thinner than the iPhone 6 at 6.3 millimeters it feels sturdier in the hand thanks to the added weight at 148 grams this phone is a hair thicker than its predecessor and also a few inches smaller but we're actually gonna praise this given the fact that it returns the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack the overall feel is cool to the touch think through the glass and aluminum finish and if the top and the bottom antenna separations are made of plastic it's really hard to tell thanks to the silver coating the Shatford edges on the sides are smaller than the ones we've seen on competing phones leading us to believe that they'll be less acceptable to scratches and even though the button placement of the power and standby key is a little awkward at the left some software features allow you to solve this by double tapping the home button or the this way those software features have been the most pleasant surprise of the Oval our seventh color OS has never been our favorite Android skin on any of its predecessors but that has dramatically changed with version 2.1 OBO has opted for a more minimalistic design that does away with most few more visit and the launcher responsiveness is top-notch no matter how fast you want to navigate some of you may be disappointed with the fact that it's still running KitKat but after so many Ram horror stories on lollipop this is actually one of the things that I like the most about this phone one of the things that I highly praises oboes new approach to notifications which combine the best features of both hit cat and iOS on one phone you can select which applications you want to notify your lockscreen and you can even control the notification ticker something completely new to Android at least for me so you can choose which applications you want to just buzz your phone or you can choose which ones you want full notifications from in the app settings I have noticed some bugs so far in my first couple of days where oboes font doesn't behave well with third-party applications but will report back on this problem with our full review overall though my first two days with this phone have been rather pleasant the battery has lasted through each day of moderate to heavy use and book rapid charging takes the 23 20 milliamp hour battery from 0 to 75 percent at around 30 minutes or so the Snapdragon 615 has proven to be a good processor selection for regular tasks but you will notice it eating up when playing games like Sky Force and also when rendering detail on photos as you slide through them let's take it a little bit speaking of photos the camera has also led to a positive experience so far this is definitely not an LG g4 but if you're used to iPhone photos you'll feel right at home here launching the camera by drawing a circle on the inactive display is also a very welcome feature but it's something that Oppo phones have been able to do for a while I was also surprised that Oppo decided to move the front mounted speaker buried in the earpiece of the r5 to a separate speaker at the back cause to sound louder on the r5 thanks to this change but we'll see how the back mounted speaker behaves after a few days of use and that's the biggest takeaway with our first few days with the Oppo r7 does this feel like a more mature product from Oppo but a few comparisons in our full review will help us give you our final verdict for now make sure you leave us a comment down below with the things you would like for us to test from the r7 and you make sure you also follow us on social media subscribe to our youtube channel as well you can follow me on twitter i'm an underscore Iveta please give this video a thumbs up if you liked what you saw I am Haim every better thank you very much for watching we'll see you on the next video
