16+1TB is priced at 7499 yuan, buy 1TB and get satellite communication, a unique dual-mode two-way satellite call
Before evaluating the OPPO Find X7 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition, it is necessary to talk to you about the pricing of OPPO this time, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra's 12GB + 256GB is priced at 5999 yuan, 16GB + 256GB is priced at 6499 yuan, and 16GB + 512GB is priced at 6999 yuan.
It can be seen that the price difference between each different storage version is 500 yuan, so calculated, the price of 16+1TB must naturally be 7499 yuan, but there is a premise here, that is, it is not equipped with satellite communication. If it is equipped with satellite communication, the price will naturally go up. But what is very pleasantly surprised is that the price of the OPPO Find X7 Ultra satellite communication version is still 7499 yuan, which can be said to be an increment without increasing the price, and it can also be said that "buy 1TB and get satellite communication".
After talking about the price, let's take a look at the product strength.

Traditional satellite communication mobile phones can only support hands-free mode, which has the problem of inability to communicate clearly in harsh weather environments such as high winds. The experience advantage brought by dual-mode two-way satellite call is that for the first time, the satellite walkie-talkie has truly become a satellite mobile phone, which is more in line with the user's intuition, and the communication efficiency in extreme environments is more efficient. It is reported that OPPO has 26 patent applications for innovative antenna beam design.
In addition, the Find X7 Ultra Satellite Communications Edition also supports 30 minutes of satellite communication calls on an ultra-low battery of 5%.
In terms of imaging, the Find X7 Ultra Satellite Communications Edition is equipped with a dual periscope quad main camera system, which supports four-focal length professional Hasselblad portrait mode shooting, and is also the only phone to support 6X portrait mode shooting.
With the ability of large models, the Find X7 Ultra satellite communication version also greatly improves the telephoto resolution of more than 10X this time, which is very suitable for outdoor scenes such as concerts. The Find X7 Ultra also provides unprecedented high-resolution and high-quality RAW MAX files for photos, including up to 50 million pixels, 16-bit color depth, and 13 stops of dynamic range. In terms of moving images, the Find X7 Ultra is also Android's first and the world's only full-focal length 4K 60fps Dolby Vision HDR video shooting, and the mobile phone with the most complete Dolby Vision HDR video focal length coverage.
In terms of AI, the Find X7 series is the world's first mobile phone to apply a 7 billion parameter large language model on the device, and the Find X7 Ultra satellite communication version is the first to bring a new Xiaobu English teacher agent, which integrates listening, speaking, and writing skills to bring students a more suitable way of learning English for their own learning situation. There is also a new Xiaobu interviewer agent, which uses the super Q&A ability of the large model to bring users interview question answering, mock interviews and other functions to help users improve their interview skills, and the practicability is very high.
It is worth mentioning that the image function of the Find X7 Ultra satellite communication version will also be pushed to the previously released Find X7 Ultra version through OTA updates. The new AI features will also be updated to the Find X7 series via OTA.
