The smartphone which measures 152.6 ×75 × 9.2 mm and weighs 170 grams comes powered by a 2,800 mAh (Rapid Charge) battery.

You can see that the only major difference is the display resolution and apart from that almost everything remains the same. But it should be noted that the Find 7 is the first smartphone with the QHD display and if it comes to India at the same price as mentioned earlier than it would still be be a better choice. Samsung and Apple have their high-end smartphone models priced close to half a lakh rupees, thus these latest Oppo smartphones might just make a potential rivals to these high-end devices like Galaxy Note 3 and even the Galaxy S5. Also Apple iPhone 5S and 5C can be on threat.
