OPPO F7 is the first smart phone that brings Artificial Intelligence 2.0 into selfie feature in India with years of R&D. It identifies shapes and facial structures based on a global database and has around 296 facial touch points. Professional photographers and make-up artists were consulted during the R&D process, resulting in the AI technology having the ability to emulate those professional skills that can help selfies look more real and natural. OPPO F7 is the first phone that brings 25MP front camera for its consumer’s flawless selfies powered by an Octa core 64-bit Mediatek Helio P60 Processor.
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Will Yang, Brand Director, OPPO India, said, “We are extremely elated to offer Indian consumers the industry’s first 25MP front camera smartphone with AI beautification 2.0. We appreciate the feedback we have received from all our Indian consumers and have tried to incorporate the same while developing the all new OPPO F7. The brand looks forward to fulfilling all the consumer demands in the future too.”

Based on Android 8.1, ColorOS 5.0 has AI built into the software for better systems management.
