Could this be the first official image of the Oppo Find 7 flagship? No, it's the Oppo R829
UPDATE: Turns out our gut feeling that something's off with this phone was spot on. According to Oppo Ambassador Kedros Ng, this is actually the Oppo R829 -- something of a mini version of the Find 5. The Oppo R829 is said to have a 4.5-inch 720p display, is powered by a Snapdragon 600 and 2GB of RAM, has an 8MP camera and will carry a price tag of about ¥2000 (about $330). Unfortunately, we're also told that the R829 is aimed at the Chinese market only, with no plans for an international distribution.
Looking at the image, we're actually a little bit split. This alleged Find 7, while sporting a nice, minimalistic look feels a tad less impressive than the Find 5 when it first came out, though we can't say too much based on a single picture from an angle like this.
Oppo does note that this new “classic” has a holographic finish on the back, and is “coming soon”. How soon that might be remains to be seen, but we do see what Oppo meant with classic – for example, there is no extravagant swivel camera à la Oppo N1, but rather an iPhone 5s-like arrangement of the module and LED flash. Lastly, and this one is a tad less noticeable, but it does appear that the phone has a metal frame hugging its profile, leading us to believe that this indeed is a high-end device.
