Oppo Find X7 Ultra Review - It Could Be The Best There Is!

[@eoin4597]

The good thing is this phone does have a global warranty directly from OPPO if you import from China so you can go to official Oppo service centres if there is a problem and use their official warranty services. The find series is the only series from any Chinese manufacturer that offers an international warranty so it's a nice little perk

[@andyH_England]

Yes, no doubt, due to the ban in parts of Europe due to unpaid licenses to Nokia. That has been resolved now, so we hope to see a Global European version and get longer warranties (UK, on Amazon, 3 years for S24U).

[@kopkiwi08]

How does the Chinese version play with google though?

[@eoin4597]

@@kopkiwi08 I don't have this phone but I've used other Oppo China version phones without big problems. It will come with basic google services installed. You just have to install the play store and other google apps you want and they should work fine due to the phone having basic google services pre-installed. You might also have to mess around with permissions for notifications to come through. Android auto won't work though. It's still better to buy global models for ease of use though if you live outside China, especially if you want everything to work smoothly out of the box without any hassle

[@deadskull888]

This one really looks promising. Love the camera zoom.

[@funrocks11]

They Introduced exposure button in camera, but not for video and portrait photos. This issue is still happening in Find x6 pro and also in Oppo Find x7 Ultra. And there is High resolution photo mode that is similar to main camera that is not useful. They should resolve these issues in software update.

[@lltechview]

The 1 inch is not the IMX989 but LYT900 which is a newer and better sensor. Yeah seems like they have to improve stuff still.

[@Techtablets]

Sorry correct its the newer LYT900 Oppo has not the older IMX989.

[@andyH_England]

Camera hardware is around 2X better than the S24U. Having better 3X, OPPO has periscope, and better ultra-wide and 6X periscope. I also prefer the primary.

[@saturnblue]

@Techtablets - I love the zoom tests where you use the city skyline. It really helps to understand what the different zoom levels will look like. I wonder if the synthetic leather back thermally insulates the phone, making it hotter than a glass back that can radiate heat? I understand it is plastic behind the synthetic leather, so that will also keep in the heat. The only flaw that bothers me in this phone is that it doesn't come with a 1tb option, despite lower models having 1tb options. A strange choice by oppo.

[@Techtablets]

Yes it's strange there is no 1TB model. I do think the synthetic leather is making it hotter yes.

[@saturnblue]

​@@Techtablets maybe we will see a glass 1tb model with the global release.

10% window it's measured the same way as TVs anyway 4.5k nits it's really impressive, watching videos in hdr you have the best highlight spots on a mobile device, screen in that phone is just amazing

The Chinese version seems to have a dimensity9300+ processor and under 500$ with what looks likes the only difference being the processor .the snapdragon 8 Gen 3 global model is $880 to 1000$

[@mubienkvape]

As an Oppo reno 10 pro+ user, I have to admit battery life on my phone suck. I have it for 4 months and now the battery health has degrade into 98%. Never charged it while gaming and never leave it on charge all night while I'm sleeping. My wife bought ip 14 pro max 6 months before I bought the oppo and the battery health is still 100%

[@joelconolly5574]

Somehow I like the single colour design of the back from the previous Oppo Find X6 Pro. The Oppo Find X7 doesn't really hit the mark with the dual tone design this year. Better just get plain single coloured back.

[@oleksandr472]

The only reason to buy this phone is the price. I would say go for it if the price is 150-200 USD lower compared to Samsung's S24 Ultra (or if you're chinese living in China). But if the price is the same or slightly lower than S24 Ultra then I see no reason of getting it. I also don't understand why they make "flagships" but always screw up in small things like poor EIS/no EIS, low sound bitrate while shooting videos, etc. Even last year's OnePlus 11 was missing the wireless charging! What kind of "flagship" comes without the wireless charging?! I'm sorry, but this feature is available for many mid-rangers these days.

[@firisrozley5768]

At this point, if X7 Ultra were to be available globally, I would consider getting it. Otherwise, go for X100 pro & now, X100 pro can record selfie videos in 4K via software update.

[@yuidfbse]

Thanks for the review, overall the camera colors are gorgeous and the images lovely.. but I find the zooming and jerkiness when changing lenses quite appalling. I hope this is some kind of a beta software running or that they fix it before release because this is as bad as I have ever seen on just about any phone.. ever.

[@Techtablets]

Totally agree

[@eduard6450]

The lens switch was pretty good and smooth. The issue seems to be stabilization when zooming in and I believe that's because this was done on the old firmware, the new zoom buttons should make this smoother

[@yuidfbse]

@@eduard6450 "Pretty good and smooth".. ok you're right, I guess we watched different videos🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@eduard6450]

@yuidfbse Yes we did, not sure what you watched but the actual transition was smooth. It's the shakiness that's making you believe otherwise and as I said they improved it in an update which replaced the zoom slider with buttons.

[@kniefi]

Nice cameras! So it IS possible to seemlessly switch between cameras/zoom levels while recording in 4k30! But is it also possibly while recording in 4k60? I would LOVE to have a phone to be able to do that. I know S24 uktra can do it - but no way I am hoing to pay 1399€ for a phone with mediocre at best 5x optical zoom quality

[@samanthamarasca8864]

Piece of advice, The US has shutdown 3g and Canada is looking at doing the same next year(it will probably take longer). Carriers are restricting chinese phones and if they are not certified they will not work for voice+sms. I dont know about Oppo, but do your research.

[@Techtablets]

Good point. I can't test that as I'm in New Zealand and later Spain but yes people should research the 4G and 5G bands they need and what it supports.

I have used ColorOS for nearly two years, and only recently has Samsung improved enough to be as smooth. My Find X5 Pro has been a beast from day one, and updates are every three months.
