OPPO has launched the A7 — a new mobile device that comes with the remarkable HyperBoost technology for smooth gaming, waterdrop notch, a Snapdragon 450 chipset, a massive 4,230-mAh battery, among other exciting offerings. The announcement is coming on the heels of a lot of rumors and leaks last month about its specs and features.

OPPO A7 Pricing and Availability
This latest release will go for CNY1,599 ($230 or €200) and can now be pre-ordered in China. But its price in Nepal, NPR35,790 ($310 or €270), is much higher than this. The smartphone will be offered in 3 colours: Glaze Blue, Dazzling Gold, and Powder Pink. The availability of these variants is market-dependent, so some countries will not get all variants.
