OPPO Electronics Corp. announced the debut of the flagship phone of the Find series, the Find 7 in Malaysia, on 7 May 2014 at a media and dealers launch at the Pullman Bangsar in Kuala Lumpur. This new device is OPPO’s first 4G/LTE smartphone that also supports Quad HD resolution and comes with a host of new features.

The Find 7, which made its global entry to the market back in March 2014 in Beijing, and succeeds the Find 5. Building on the Find 5, the Find 7 was created with the user in mind whilst raising the bar on innovation in mobile technology. The OPPO Find 7 comes equipped with a 5.5-inch Quad HD display featuring Touch-on-Lens technology paired with Gorilla Glass 3, making the Find 7 screen tough and 40% stronger.

The phone also comes equipped with the Pure Image 2.0, a hardware and software photography solution that enhances images taken by the 13 megapixel camera to 50-megapixel images. This “Ultra-HD” mode accomplishes this by taking ten photos at the back end with just one press of a button, and then combines the photos to create images perfect for high quality prints. Pure Image on the OPPO Find 7 includes six physical lenses, the latest Sony Stacked CMOS IMX214 sensor and f/2.0 wide aperture, providing user with crisp images.

The Find 7 is built around a solid titanium-aluminum alloy frame, and includes some new technology, such as  the newly developed VOOC fast charging technology that shortens charging time, boosting the phone’s battery life to 75% within 30 minutes. This rapid charging technology also has a safety feature made up of five layers of thermal protective coating that prevents overheating while charging.

For enhanced sound, there is the inclusion of the Technical GRAMMY Award winning MaxxAudio’s enhancement suite that greatly increases the dynamic range and frequency of the Find 7, providing crisp, high-quality sound.

“Having just launched the brand in Malaysia back in February, we are very excited to introduce one of the most technologically advanced phones in our range, the Find 7. Continuing the tradition of quality design and craftsmanship in the Find series, the Find 7 utilizes top of the line technologies that aims to enhance the smartphone experience for all our customers,” commented William Fang, OPPO Electronics Chief Executive Officer.
