GizChina Thinks: Oppo Find 7 to have a 5.4-inch JDI display

AndiDecember 20, 2013

With so very little to go on surrounding the Oppo Find 7 we have had to do a bit of a search which has led us to a possible 5.4-inch JDIdisplay equipped device.

Following our gut and seeing the original reaction to the Oppo N1’s large display and the companies commitment to it’s fans, we believe that the Find 7 could feature a 5.4-inch WQHD display from Japanese display manufacturer JDI.

A 5.4-inch flagship phone would fit the bill quite well, current Find 5 owners wanting a little more will appreciate the larger panel and higher resolution while fans of smaller displays won’t find the increase overly much for their palms to handle.

As for screen specs, well JDI announced their 5.4-inch 2K display back in October.The panel has a pixel density of 543ppi, a 1440 x 2560 resolution and measures in at 69.5 x 126.6x 1.12mm.

Currently the only known fact for the Oppo Find 7 are that it will feature a 2K display as well as 4G LTE, but our Find 7 predictions also include 3GB RAM, Snapdragon 800 CPU and a possible 16 mega-pixel rear camera.

  It’s talking about the display.
  Either way, these are modern IGZO screens. Hopefully it’s IGZO/OLED.

Oppo Find 7 will be the better Xiaomi Mi3. 🙂

I still don’t get this resolution race between smartphones, they all look the same from 720p and lower res will save power while higher will eat it also I still think the screen size should be 5 inch or smaller

  I couldn’t agree more. This whole pixel race at 5+Inch format is nonsense. And I prefer a small high spec phone for daily use, 4,5 inch max. It is a shame there are only a few of them.

    The maximum I can go on a phone is 5″. ANything above that and I am going in for a 10″ tablet. Lets call a tablet a tablet and a phone a phone.

    This is not the place to campaign for small screen phones.
    Not only does the market disagree with you, but you have probably already noticed, you can’t wish them out of existence. Campaigning to “freeze” screen sizes at 5″ (or 4.5″) is useless.
    If you want a premium phone with a small screen, there’s always the iPhone as a choice.
    This article (and thread) is about Find 7 screen and features.

  If you don’t get it by this point, then it can’t be explained to you. There are plenty of 720p “budget” phones you could buy without knock the ones amongst us that want and like high-resolution-large-screen phones.

  While what you’re saying is true, there’s a reason for the spec bump. and it’s not a good one. It’s mostly an issue of marketing, The more pixels you have, the more pixels you can market and since we’re developing new manufacturing methods, there’s no problem in adding more pixels ; it doesnt add to the R&D cost.
  The problem with these screens start to show when they strain the GPU. A 2560×1440 screen is uncommon even in desktops nowadays, yet it’s going to become standard for flagship mobile phones.
  While displaying extremely crisp 2d content on that 1440p screen is easily doable, when it comes to 3d graphics, these screens are more of a burden than you realize. Phones already have a lot of overhead when rendering, this adds the need to render at 720p and then upscale it to 1440p. That adds massive overhead from the GPU, which means that a developer is limited to what they can do on a phone compared to the same hardware and a 720p screen.

    i bet by 2015 2560×1440 phones will become common and be sold for less than $200 and thanks for that explanations

Ummm… my thought? I THOUGHT OF IT! I actually posted the link the JDI press release in the comments to an earlier article! Hmmm… attribution?
As to the processor, my guess is still the 805 rather than the 800. Oppo is too savy to go for the older processor for their new flagship when the new one is right on the cusp of production.
UPDATE: here’s a link to the comments I made a week ago suggesting that they’d use the JDI display: https://www.gizchina.com/2013/12/14/confirmed-oppo-find-7-wont-5-7-inch-7-inch-display/

  Last year they went with S4 pro instead of the S600 which was around the corner. Also N1 has got the S600 even though S800 was already out. So my guess is that they will go for S800 as per the pattern they have established…

    kind of like apple does it. Allways using hardware that isn’t the newest / kind of like puting a mobile GPU in the iMac or 1gb ram even if the competition already uses 2gb…well what im trying to say is … Oppo plz don’t dissapoint us with just a 800!!!
  - December 20, 2013
    We can only hope for the 805. Oppo is in a stronger market position this year, and they’re also facing more competition (i.e. Vivo Xplay 3S and others) so I wouldn’t be surprised if they broke the pattern to go for the bleeding edge.

You see that moon coming in front of the sun? Release day will probably be on the solar eclips.
