The Oppo F7 looks very similar to the Oppo R15 smartphone that is yet to be launched in China. The latter has been subjected to several rumors, including a 6.28-inch display and the notch. Users will be able to reportedly access applications by tapping one side of the notch and shortcuts like DND mode and screenshots by tapping the other side of the notch.
