OPPO F7: the iPhone X-style Device with Notch and Camera

Oppo is one of the smartphone brands that did not take part in MWC 2018, which was held in Barcelona at the end of February. In fact, the company is concentrating on the announcement of a new top-of-the-range smartphone that will launch in a separate event at the end of the month. And this seems to be the reason why Oppo has not been present. The Asian company, through a tweet, has announced the launch of the next OPPO F7, dedicated to the Indian market.

The successor of the F5 introduces important innovations in terms of design. The smartphone, as can also be seen from the teaser poster, will come with a display with a notch. This is the second device with this feature, after OPPO R15. R15 Plus will be officially presented on March 12. We are not revealed anything else.

The back cover, the photographic compartment and the technical card remain in the shadows except for some clues about the ambassador chosen by the brand. It should be the famous cricket player, a very popular sport in the country - Hardik Pandya. However, the launch date should be set for March 26.

According to a report by The Economic Times, the Oppo F7 would be the upcoming smartphone. It is believed to be the successor of the Oppo F5, which was announced last year with an AI-based front camera. The report suggests that the next Oppo device could arrive with an iPhone X-style display, with the presence of the notch in the front.

By now it is quite clear that this year's watchword will be "notch". If there is still any doubt about it, the Chinese manufacturer is preparing to launch yet another smartphone with this feature, after the interesting OPPO R15. The new OPPO F7, to be launched this month in India, is shown in a promotional image that reveals the front design.
