This year, Oppo continues to conquer the market with its new products. Improving their past models, the developers create smartphones for each user. They presented the A7n smartphone in April 2019, and in anticipation of its release, users have already formed a certain assessment. In this review, we will analyze the expected expectations from the Oppo A7n, and also answer why the new product does not have a high rating at the moment.
Smartphone Oppo A7n can be called a modification of its predecessor Oppo A5s. The major differences between the two are the amount of RAM and the megapixels of the front camera. For the rest of the main characteristics, they are identical. But this does not make the novelty lagging behind its competitors, because the manufacturer has put the best possible features into the 5s, which are now naturally inherent in the A7n.

In its price segment, this is a decent smartphone. The developers gave it good performance and nice looks. But do not forget that budget models always have drawbacks. The limited price tag prevents manufacturers from using the best technology. Although it is worth noting that it is inexpensive and appreciated by many users. Let's take a closer look at other advantages and disadvantages of the Oppo A7n, as well as what to expect from this model.
One of the main advantages of the Oppo A7n is its inexpensive price, at the start of sales it is about 200 euros. In recalculation at the exchange rate for May-June 2019, approximately 15,000 rubles are released. Not a bad price for a fully functional and high-quality smartphone. Indeed, in addition to its cost, Oppo A7n boasts other advantages.
For its niche, the Oppo A7n smartphone has quite high performance. It is based on the MediaTek Helio P35 processor with high-performance 8 cores and clock speeds up to 2.3 GHz.
The MediaTek Helio P35 processor is used in many models today. Its popularity is due to the high quality of its work. Using it, developers can equip a smartphone with many advantages and still not lose its budget value.
The screen-to-body ratio is approximately 81.6%.At a time when manufacturers are trying to reduce these numbers, these figures are considered good. First of all, this is done for convenience when playing games or other work. The PowerVR GE8320 GPU used in the Oppo A7n has a pretty good reputation. It accurately conveys the picture and color fullness.
The Oppo A7n has 64GB of internal memory and 4GB of RAM. Quite decent indicators, which are enough to store a personal mini archive. In cases of lack of memory, you can use external microSD media. A special separate slot has been created for it and the maximum possible volume is 256 GB, which is also an absolute advantage.
As mentioned earlier, one of the improvements is the increase in the number of megapixels of the front camera, and now the A7n has a 16MP selfie camera with HDR. In turn, the main camera does not lag behind. It is made using dual technology, that is, to obtain the best result, 2 cameras are used simultaneously, the first is 13 MP, and the second is 2 MP. This technology contributes to obtaining high-quality photos and shooting in different modes and effects, for example, 3D, Bokeh, in low light or for better enlargement of photos.
Developers continue to improve the performance of smartphone batteries for long-term battery life. Oppo A7n has a 4230 mAh non-removable battery, which is the key to long-term operation. The owner of this novelty will be "freed" from endless recharging. With such indicators, the A7n should work for at least a few days in offline mode and in active use all day.
The appearance of a product greatly affects the level of its sale. The time of inexpensive models with a primitive design is gradually passing, and the developers of this novelty also paid attention to this neo-youthful item. The color of the model is called "green lake", and the developers managed to convey this name. The back panel is made in emerald color with iridescence reminiscent of the water surface.
The front panel consists almost entirely of the display. In its upper part, in a teardrop notch, there is a front camera, and a small frame at the bottom. As in many smartphones, the developer has distributed various kinds of buttons on the sides for ease of use, and at the bottom, there are headphone and charger inputs.
In addition to the main camera, a finger scanning sensor is developed on the back, under which the brand name of the manufacturer is proudly located. Overall, the Oppo A7n looks pretty stylish and sleek.
Not so long ago, support for two SIM cards became a revolutionary revolution in the entire industry. The ability to use two cards in one phone was liked by many users, and since then many manufacturers have not abandoned this feature. The Oppo A7n also has Dual SIM functionality with Nano format SIM cards.
The function of protecting personal data using a fingerprint has already been mentioned, it is also present in the expected novelty and it can also be attributed to advantages. True, the level of work and its quality are not yet known.
In addition to a variety of sensors, without which you cannot imagine a new generation smartphone, the Oppo A7n has an FM radio. For some buyers, this function is very important, and manufacturers offer either the installation of a special application or built-in radio. The A7n has the latter option.
All such budget options have quite a few drawbacks. After all, the estimated price depends very much on the quality of work. In such cases, developers always have to sacrifice something. This must be taken into account when choosing your future new smartphone. Let's take a closer look at the "victims" of the Oppo A7n.
The Oppo A7n is powered by the Android 8.1 operating system. In 2018, Google introduced Android Pie 9 to the world. Using in a smartphone of 2019 release, the previous version of the OS, is a very reckless step.Users will have to update this version at some point, which is why Android 8.1 is considered a disadvantage in this case. Although, this version is not the worst and has many advantages.
Oppo A7n is only available in one color "green lake". In this matter, the buyer is very limited and simply does not have any choice. It is very difficult to explain such a decision by the manufacturer, because many models have always had at least two color options. In addition, the chosen option is not universal and rather specific.
With its dimensions 155.9 x 75.4 x 8.2 mm, the novelty has a weight of 117 g. For smartphones, this is considered to be quite heavy. The heavy device still does not have high ratings and ratings. The mass affects the general understanding of his work, which significantly affects the level of sales.
At the moment, the expected new product, Oppo A7n, does not have high ratings. First of all, this is due to its declared technical characteristics. They are almost identical to the technical specifications of the Oppo A5s model. In fact, the A7n is a modification of its predecessor. The expected novelty will not surprise users with anything, since all the "laurels" went to its predecessor. Although, owners of the A5s will be able to appreciate the innovations and improvements.
Of course, this is not yet confirmed information, but according to some sources, Oppo A7n will not be sold in Russia. What is the reason for this phenomenon is not known. Of course, this issue can be solved by ordering new items from official foreign sites. In addition, this method is in great demand among buyers with extensive experience, because it has many advantages.
The novelty from the manufacturer Oppo is unlikely to win over users. Similar specs with the Oppo A5s have had an impact on the adoption of the new smartphone. Can modification produce something revolutionary? Most likely not, especially for the stated price.
Who is this smartphone suitable for? It will be appreciated by adherents of an inexpensive price category who do not require a smartphone to solve super-technological tasks. The Oppo A7n will delight game lovers, although it is not suitable for the professional level. For selfie aficionados, it works best, especially with the improved front camera. Support for the middle tier of applications or programs provides reliable work for the average user with common tasks.
Let's not forget that Oppo A7n is still from the budget niche and it would be stupid to expect high performance and work without any complaints. The creator tried to give his new model good performance and improve the old functions, which he did. It is worth noting that these advantages and disadvantages are based on the stated technical card. A full assessment of his work can be formed after a long and varied work. How the Oppo A7n will manifest itself in real life is anyone's guess.
