I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Not everyone needs a $1000-plus smart phone (realistically, does anyone, really?) and like Huawei with its budget-priced Nova 3i, Oppo have created a nice-looking, well-performing smart phone that does everything you need without requiring you to mortgage the house, give up a kidney or sell your first-born. Oppo has set the RRP at $399, which means it’s within reach for average consumers. Perhaps the best thing about the AX7, though, is the price. Photos taken with the AX7 were clear and sharp, with bright colours and details, although I thought sometimes the images were a little over saturated at times. Sure the customisation options for the camera are limited when compared to more expensive phones but it’s a good, honest shooter that will do what it says on the tin. ![]() It’s a selfie star, according to Oppo, although I’m not big on selfies, to be honest. Perhaps the star of the AX7, though, is the camera, which sports 13MP and 2MP sensors at the back and a 16MP sensor at the front. I’m still not sold on Oppo’s ColorOS operating system, which can be a little slow at times. I was pleasantly surprised with the phone’s battery life, with the 4230mAh battery lasting a good couple of days with moderate use (phone calls, texting, browsing, the odd YouTube video). That said, it’s fast enough when it comes to unlocking the handset. If I had one gripe about the scanner it would be that I thought it was perhaps positioned a little too high and could be a tad deeper, so that it’s easy to find first time. The AX7 comes with all the latest bells and whistles you’d expect, including a fingerprint scanner. A nice touch is the SIM card tray has space for two SIMs, meaning you can use the phone as your work mobile and private number. Thankfully, the storage can be expanded via microSD card (upto 256Gb). Powered by a Snapdragon 450 octa-core CPU, the AX7 comes with a 6.2-inch HD+ display, 4Gb of RAM and is running Oppo’s ColorOS 5.2 (based on Android 8.2) but weirdly, just 64Gb of internal storage space, which in this day and age of digital consumption doesn’t really cut the mustard these days. It really doesn’t look – or feel – like a budget smart phone.Ĭlad in a colour that Oppo describes as glaze blue, the AX7 feels comfortable in the hand, with a nice weight to it, and the attention to detail in the small – but noticeable – details like the camera lens surround means Oppo’s latest phone will get noticed. For as budget priced, mid-range phone, Oppo really has pulled out all the stops when it comes to the AX7. ![]()
