The unique external antenna design also enables the metallic body to act as the antenna for the entire phone, as 91% of the material is pure metal.
With stunning metal composition R7Lite also boasts a superb exterior design. For the first time, OPPO decided to use 2.5D Arc-Edge screen which adds a seamless finish by enabling slightly rounded glass edges and makes sliding finger much more natural than compared with using a flat plane.
“Violin arc” rear design for a superior in-hand operation
The rear of OPPO R7 Plus features the first “violin arc” design, while the entire phone embodies OPPO’s dual line philosophy, delivering elegant minimalism in appearance and natural comfort in the hand.
