OPPO confirms the design and specifications of R7 And R7 Plus
Over the last couple of months, ton of images of the OPPO R7 handset along with a couple of video clips have been leaking all over the place. Sometime back, a differently designed OPPO-branded device had come up that resembled the OPPO R7, and the rumors had it saying that the phone will be called the OPPO R7 Plus. Well, OPPO has just confirmed that their upcoming R7 smartphone will debut with a larger brother, the R7 Plus.
The OPPO R7 Plus features the same premium metal (magnesium alloy) build quality as found on the R7 and includes the same 2.5D curved glass with near edge-to-edge display. The OPPO R7 will feature three capacitive buttons below the display: menu, home and back, respectively.
On the other hand, the OPPO R7 Plus won’t offer capacitive buttons. Unlike the earlier OPPO smartphones, the OPPO R7 Plus will now have on-screen keys. This handset will have an ‘OPPO’ logo below the display, and on-screen buttons will substitute the capacitive ones. The OPPO 7 will be the first device that would be incorporating capacitive buttons and not the on-screen ones in their devices.
