New leak shows ultra slim bezels on upcoming Oppo smartphone


It seems like Oppo is working on a smartphone that has almost no bezels around the display. A new photo of the Oppo smartphone has been leaked that shows really thin side bezels which are hardly seen.

The unannounced phone which has no name yet is seen running Oppo’s Color OS and sports a 5.5 inch screen. It also looks like its features a metallic frame around the phone and is said to come with 64-bit octa-core Mediatek MT6795, along with a 20.7 MP rear camera. Sadly no other details of the device that is touted as R7  are known.

Along with the leaked images, a patent filed by Oppo has surfaced that shows that the company is adding to the illusion of a completely edge-to-edge display by using light refraction, similar to something we saw on the Sharp Aquos Crystal and the Moto 360’s displays.It is unclear from the patent if these edges will be touch sensitive or not. The patent has already been filed on December 19 2014 in China by Oppo.
