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

[@jemiljmathew9090]

Actually VIVO X series has international warranty

[@Hhhh22222-w]

​@@jemiljmathew9090 not really, it's only for vivo x90 series model and newer, oppo offered international warranty from their very first find x1 up to the latest find x8

Finally! A tech reviewer based in NZ. Thanks for sharing! I have the x3 pro and been waiting on their next flagship (not the x5) to be released here. I'm guessing it works on all networks here as well? I'm currently with One NZ

[@Techtablets]

Hey thanks, well I'm from NZ but now based in Spain. But yes this worked with 2degrees just fine no issues. 2 big firmware updates now the cameras are so much better than shown here thankfully.

[@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.

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.

[@markfern]

Hi, great review. Seen you comparison between this and the Vivo X100 pro. I use the zoom capabilities a lot with phones. On paper this should win being a bigger Zoom lens but after seeing your comparison the Vivo seems to do better in image quality. I currently have the S22 Ultra and use the 10x Zoom a lot. Would you still choose the Vivo over this? Or do you feel the Cameras will improve more with software updates?

[@Techtablets]

I feel this will continue to improve the last patch made a big difference but still some more work is needed. I'm impatient so use my X100 Pro and love the cameras especially in Zeiss authentic colour mode.

Great review man, i hope all these top tier chinese phones are going to release globally this year, i think Oppo has fixed some of the issues that prevented them from doing so with Nokia, and should be able to ship it to the west! This 8 gen3 tho is underwhelming no? The Adreno is stupid good, but the CPU throttles so much, even the Galaxy s24U with an almost double vapor chamber can't keep it under control. Is it early firmware or real chip issues?

[@xrypro4080]

It's chip issue. 8 gen 3 run hotter and less efficient than previous gen for the sake of power. Heat/throttle will be common problems to all non-gaming phones.

[@anasahmad8756]

Thanks for the honesty review ... I would like to ask you if the oppo find x7 ultra and one plus 12 has the same features (UI)in terms of software since they both have color os. Tradindshenzen offers one plus for around 647 amd x7 ultra for around 920. Is it worth it to pay 300 more ? Because I found out that the main difference in x7 ultra is the another periscope camera

[@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

[@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.

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.
