The Oppo F7 was launched in India on Monday, at an event in Mumbai. The new Oppo F7 phone is following the recent trend – popularised by the Apple iPhone X of sporting a notch on the top of the display to house components like the front camera, earpiece, and proximity sensor in a bezel-less display design. The Oppo F7 specifications include 6.23-inch Full-Screen 2.0 display with a 19:9 aspect ratio, a 25 MP front camera with real-time HDR, AI Beauty 2.0 app, Android 8.1 (Oreo), and the App-in-App multi-tasking feature, all of which can be considered the highlights of the phone. The new phone will compete against the likes of Vivo V9, Moto X4, and Honor 8 Pro in the Indian market.
