The Nubia Z9 has been getting a lot of media footage lately, which is something the guys over at OPPO don’t fancy too much perhaps. Which is why, a few pictures and a video of a rival device has been making rounds on the internet today!
The OPPO R7 is an upcoming powerhouse from the Chinese OEM, which is not only expected to be super slim, but is also going to have a crazy edge-to-edge screen. The phone will have a MediaTek MT6795 SoC along with a 21 mega-pixel camera, so it isn’t just the design that you’ll be wanting the R7 for.
The screen uses some sort of a tapered coating which helps the R7 achieve the ‘edge-to-edge’ screen design, which in fact may not be the case. Besides all of that, the phone will also challenge the R5 and the Vivo X5Max with a thickness of under 5mm — 4.87mm is what we’re hearing!

Take a look at a little hands on video of the phone in action:
What do you think? Are you, like me, itching to get your hands on the OPPO R7? Let us know in the comments section below!

uhm.. give me zte z9 pleasee
…and it will cost a gazillion
At the end they will also want to remove the bezzels from the upper and down part of the device and then I want to see how we will hold them without activating anything from these bezelless phones…. Maybe they should develop a program that the phone reacts to thinking so we don’t have to touch them!
That would be the day! I’m waiting of this since the original iphone was released. Imagine a phone of the size of iphone 3G being 5 inches. And then a phone of the size of Galaxy S6 being 5.7 inches (Note screen).
As for the tech of not accidentally touching anything is (called the) palm rejection. And if you wait a bit (for the tech to catch up) you can have a screen only registering fingertips so the whole screen could double as a fingertip scanner too and obviously no accidental touches.
Enough with those bezels they’re so last decade, if you ask me they’re late too of eliminating them.
I agree that they look ugly (especially due to the assymetry caused by the top/bottom bezels) but it would push software developers to create tech like proper palm rejection. Such a technology was/is long overdue even for regular phones (accidental touches would always be a menace).
Agreed, palm rejection is out there but as you said, it’s not working 100%
lol, so they must be gone because some people think they’re ugly even though they’re functional while introducing a whole new problem that need solution and currently isn’t perfect (nor will it ever). Let the market decide then.
As Steve Jobs said, “people don’t know what they want”.
I explained why they should be gone, didn’t you read my post? Not because they’re ugly, but because they affect ergonomics on two ways. First they make phones about 30-50% bigger (that’s a *lot*) second they keep back the incentive to create screens without accidental touches. And yes that’s a problem affecting everyone, even those with giant bezels (less so but still).
I never said they’re ugly, if anything they give a style to a phone that otherwise wouldn’t exist. In fact I’d hope that some companies would put on bezels due to style (in the future) and not due to “functionality” (as i explained they take away functionality ).
And he’s not speaking for everyone. I certainly don’t like what Steve offered, yes I’ve tried it. And Apple’s products don’t or would ever account for the entire market.
That “less so” might be what make it or break it for some people. Just because you believe that’s right doesn’t mean that it’s true for everyone.
Let the sales for these phones decide for themselves.
Yeah what a tragedy would be if robust palm rejection would be developed. Are you serious or just trolling? I can’t see a single reason why you’d disagree people who like bezels would have palm rejection (and bezels) and people who don’t would have bezeless deisgns to *choose* from. Right now you have to decide between bezels and more bezels, and of course palm rejection is not even a serious option yet.
The market should never choose (and indeed it never does) in matters of technology, people simply don’t know where technology is or can go. I much prefer engineers and designers to make the choosing, you know, the actual pros.
You wouldn’t want to decide your diagnosis (if you’re ill) you’d let your doctor do it, it’s equally harmful to let people decide the future of technology (thankfully they don’t or we would still be using dumbphones).
So you label people who don’t agree with your idea (who you seemingly think to be perfect without fault) to be a troll then proceed to ad hominem them huh? I don’t think it’s worth to discuss anything with people of your level.
The trolling part is that you don’t explain where you disagree. I didn’t support that bezels should go away. I supported that it would be a good thing to happen to *some* phones because it would also bring forth technologies like palm rejection which would help everyone, where do you diagree in *that*?
Also i never called bezels ugly (if anything i called the bezeless design ugly) yet you supported that i did. That is trolling.
So no it’s not ad hominem, you actually changed my words so that to support your argument, it’s accurate to call that trolling. But even then i wrote “I’m not sure”, maybe you’re serious, just very thick, with which i have no problem.
