Oppo Android

Synthetic benchmarks and performance

The Oppo Find 7a is based on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset model MSM8974AB, while the QHD-boasting Find 7 is powered by the Snapdragon 801 MSM8974AC.

The MSM8974 chipset is the base Snapdragon 800 chipset, while MSM8974AB has a higher clocked GPU (up to 578MHz from the base 450MHz) and hence has deserved the Snapdragon 801 badge.

The MSM8974AC goes a step further and has a higher clock for the Krait 400 CPU cores as well – they reach up to 2.5GHz from the stock 2.3GHz.

So, the Find 7a has Snapdragon 801 chipset inside with four Krait 400 cores clocked at 2.3GHz, an Adreno 330 GPU @578MHz and 2GB of RAM.

Our first test - BenchmarkPi - tests the single CPU core performance and the Krait 400 scored on par with other Snapdragon 800-powered devices.

In compound benchmarks - Quadrant and AnTuTu 4 – the Oppo Find 7a produced similar scores to the other S800-powered smartphones such as the Xperia Z1, Galaxy Note 3, LG G2 and G Flex. HTC One M8 running on the same chipset managed to beat the Oppo Find 7a though.

Basemark OS II tests just about every facet of your phone's performance. It's exactly here that manufacturers used to heavily cheat, so we ran an anti-cheat version that should've kept any trickery out of the equation. The Find 7a produced the same results as the other Snapdragon 800 devices.

When it comes to offscreen benchmarks, the higher clock speed of the new Adreno 330 easily pushes it on top.

Lower resolution phones (720p or so) like the Xperia Z1 Compact and iPhone 5s climb on top, but as far as 1080p devices go, the Oppo Find 7a is only matched by the HTC One (M8) and the Galaxy S5 on the GFXBench suite. Epic Citadel placed it around the top too, beaten only by the HTC One (M8).

Web browsing is an integral part to any smartphone experience, and the Find 7a posts respectable, if not remarkable, results in both of our browser benchmarks.

So, the Oppo Find 7a clearly proved as a blazing fast performer across all benchmarks. But the synthetic tests aside, the smartphone also delivers amazing lag-free and buttery-smooth UI experience even without the KitKat optimizations. And isn't that just awesome?
