Oppo new product R7 Plus

With the R7 Plus, Oppo is going big. The super-sized phone sports Oppo's biggest screen to date, with a 6-inch AMOLED display packed into the frame. Ostensibly a larger version of theOppo R7 , the Plus adds a few other features, such as an enormously long-life battery, to create a well-rounded mid-range device that offers a lower priced option for anyone hunting for a big-screen experience.

For a little while now, Chinese-based manufacturer Oppo has been making a big push into new markets such as the US and Australia. In fact, in Australia, Oppo has secured a deal that sees it retail exclusively in the extensive network of Dick Smith electronics stores, as well as recently signing its first telecommunications carrier deal with Optus.

All this has equated to some surprisingly low pricing on the R7 Plus, at least in Australia. It's AU$599 over here, with the US pricing at $499 and Europe at €429, all unlocked. (In Singapore it's S$699, which doesn't quite make it the same value. You can find it online in the UK for around £315.
