    First up the Find 7 takes on the Oppo Find 5 design quotient and makes it even better. The Find 5 was one of the first phones with a 1080p display and continuing the tradition of firsts, Find 7 has a 1440p Quad HD display. The 2K space is heating up. Overall sleek and sexy looking body with steel elements is enticing to look and is an aspirational phone.

    The Find 7 and Find 7a both have 5.5 inch screens. The 7a has a 1080p FHD screen. The unique feature of these devices is an erotic blue light at the bottom of the screen. Its called the Skyline notification and it starts from the center and spreads across the bottom edges. The textured Carbon fibre removable back panel is good to look at.

    On the processing power front the Find 7 boasts of 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 chipset with 3GB of RAM. This high configuration is necessary for the stunning Quad HD screen. The 7a on the other hand has a slightly shrunk 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 chipset.

    Find 7 is powered by a 3000 MaH removable battery. The 7a holds a 2800 MaH version. Oppo has introduced a charging technology called the Multi step constant current charging (quite a mouthful ha?). This helps to go from 0 to 75% in 30 minutes. For this the phone needs to be charged with the provided charger.

    The Quad HD screen of the Find 7 is a delight to look at. Its 538 ppi display is one of the best in class and was released globally before the LG G3. The Find 7 was released globally in March so that makes Oppo the first company to cross the 2K barrier.

    The Find 7 has an internal storage of 32GB whereas the 7a has 16 GB storage. Both the phones have expandable memory options which will come handy if you want to play high quality audio-visual entertainment.

    The Camera on the devices is 13 mega pixel shooters and are powered by the Sony IMX214 CMOS sensor. It has a wide 2.0 aperture which will help with better night and shallow focus shooting. Camera has the ability to shoot Raw and here too the expandable storage be extremely advantageous. It is also capable of 4K video recording.The camera is also capable of taking massive 50 Megapixel images. It achieves this by clicking multiple images and creating one huge 50 mpix images.

    The phone currently runs on a clean looking UI. It runs on Oppo’s propriety Android 4.3 based Color OS. It has some really functional elements like the gestures feature. This feature lets you open certain apps like the camera or the torch just by making gestures on the screen. This works even when the screen is on stand-by to let you reach the Apps with ease.

    Overall both devices look really enticing and we can’t wait to get our hands on them. Keep checking this spot for more.

    The Find 7 is priced at Rs. 37990 and the Find 7a is priced at Rs. 31990 in India.

  • LG G3: Beginning of the 2K Run?

    LG G3: Beginning of the 2K Run?

    The Flagships are engaged in some real battles now. LG G3 dropped in and made it a lot more interesting. Packed in with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor clocked at 2.46 GHz, expandable memory upto 128 GB and a laser focus support for the camera, the phone sure has some unique features to look forward to.

    The G3 brings the First 2K Display

    The phone’s display is its champion. The G3 has a best in class 5.5 inch Quad HD display with 538 pixel density that gives a resolution of  2560 x 1440 px(2K). With this release LG brought in the first 2K phone in the market.

    Quad HD displays have been promised to the market by several manufacturers. Oppo’s Find 7 and Lenovo’s Vibe Z2 are some of the example. But why haven’t the rest of the manufacturers jumped on board with a 2K display market, we try to see the issues with running a Quad HD screen.

    The screen on the LG G3 is substantially better than most of the screens this article is being read on. It is been said that the human eye cannot distinguish pixel density after 300ppi which Apple terms as its Retina display at 326 ppi in the iPhone 5S. But the images are just so mesmerizing on a Quad HD screen that you  loose the reasons for the debate in the first place.

    One of the major reasons why manufacturers are not encouraged to adopt a Quad HD display is because of the massive power required to run the display. It especially puts a heavy strain on the processor. But on a processor like the one G3 has, this might not be a major issue. A massive battery like the 3000 MaH on the G3 will take care of the excessive resource drain.

    There isn’t enough content for the 2K and 4K displays.

    There also aren’t a lot of apps that are ready for the 2K display. There is a serious shortage of content at the moment, as it is resource intensive to create the content in the first place. As the technology is still young, the content producers will wait for a while before investing in a heavy process like creating videos or games for such screens. They will wait for the device market to get populated with more products with such high definition displays.

    Since HD is now the norm across many platforms, it is rather easy to create content for it. To create HD content you just need a computer system with decent specifications. The investment for making an HD content is comparatively lower than that for 2K or 4K productions.

    So the question we really need to ask is that, are Quad HD phones worth buying at the moment or maybe we should just shut up, wait for the content to show up and enjoy the insane crispness of a handheld 2K screen.
