Oppo has decided to take advantage of the Gulf Information Technology Exhibition to unveil a new smartphone. R7s baptized, it will replace the R7 launched earlier this year with several significant improvements.
Oppo still lacks a flagship for the current year and it is clearly not in the program yet. The next brand smartphone will be a mid-range that will complement the range R7. We have already seen in the TENAA database last month, a sign that its launch was approaching. Effectively. It will be officially presented on October 18, as part of the Gulf Information Technology Exhibition held annually in Dubai.
The information has been confirmed by the manufacturer, who reveals in passing the exact name of the smartphone: R7s. If one refers to its nomenclature, it would therefore be of even replacing the R7 rather than a companion range and this is confirmed in the press release received by our colleagues GSMArena.
The R7 is actually presented as his predecessor: “the R7s offer a higher capacity battery, a larger screen and a storage space twice as large as the R7, while maintaining the unibody metal chassis and excellent camera of its predecessor.”
If the positioning of this R7s appears as a surprise is however not the case for the various improvements mentioned since we knew most of its technical characteristics, which should recall to include a full HD 5.5 inch a Snapdragon 615 chipset, 2GB RAM, 32GB of internal memory and two cameras 13 and 8 megapixels. The all animated by Android 5.1 Lollipop.
There was finally the battery on which we had no information, but we suspected that she would increase with the size of the screen. It remains now to wait for October 18 to discover his exact capacity, in addition to price and release date of the Oppo R7s.
