The Oppo R7s is powered by the Snapdragon 615, much like the R7, R7 Plus, R7 lite, R5, R5s and R1x in the company's own lineup, as well as countless other smartphones this year. Unlike any of these, the R7s comes with a whopping 4GB of RAM, so you'd have little trouble switching between apps, even if you tend to keep all of them open at the same time.
In the CPU-centric benchmark GeekBench the Oppo R7s scores virtually the same as the R7 Plus - meaning a top result for Snapdragon 615 devices. It's also a substantially better performer than the company's own R5, R7 and R1x, all of which were running KitKat at the time of testing (and likely for good).
The Samsung Galaxy A7 posts lower figures, and the Motorola Moto X Play is even further down the chart. The Samsung Galaxy A8 scores higher than the Oppo R7s here, but do note that we had the Exynos 5430 powered version for testing.

In Antutu the R7s scores very close to its larger brother too. Again, you'd be hard pressed to find a better-performing Snapdragon 615 device. The R7s does lose to 800-series Snapdragons though, be they old or new. The Zenfone 2 with its Intel Atom inside is also superior, as far as Antutu goes.

Basemark OS 2.0 is more of the same - excellent results for the chipset, but not on par with the high-end offerings. Here the R7s trails the R7 Plus for the first time, but is again comfortably ahead of the Galaxy A7 and Moto X Play.

It's graphics performance, where Qualcomm's uber popular midrange chip shows its weakness, even more notably so on FullHD displays like the one on the Oppo R7s. Still, the various R7's are yet again leading the pack ahead of similarly equipped devices. The Snapdragon 8xx devices are simply in a different league, with the S810-powered ones firmly on top.

GFX Bench reiterates what we already know from Basemark X - the Adreno 405 bundled with the Snapdragon 615 isn't quite up to the task to push FullHD resolution at high frame rates. The differences are almost non-existent among S615 phones in the offscreen test, and grow to marginal in the onscreen routine.

JavaScript is also traditionally not the S615's forte, as indicated by the Kraken benchmark. And even so, Oppo's models are among the better ones at it. General web page handling, as measured by Browsermark, is another area where the Oppo R7s is an average performer. It's also the first test, where we see it lose to the Galaxy A7 and Moto X Play.

Overall, nothing we didn't expect from the Oppo R7s. Top-notch CPU and general performance, mediocre frame rates in 3D gaming and average results in the web-related benchmarks. Oppo's got a knack for squeezing the best out of the Snapdragon 615, but even so it can't break out of the chip's inherent limitations.
