Barcelona FC and OPPO team-up could mean a football themed R7 Plus

Officially partnering with each other since June, OPPO has seen the success and brand awareness that its competitors have attempted with other well-known footballing clubs, leading it to its first attempt at a branding collaboration. Posts on the Chinese company’s official Weibo account announces a special event that’s to be held on the 8th of September, possibly announcing the Barcelona R7 Plus.

Publications in China have been going off since the photo emerged with the Barcelona team pictured and the text “it’s my turn”. The R7 Plus FC Barcelona Edition is purported to match the original R7 Plus, when considering hardware – though it’ll have some sort of Barcelona emblem on the back and pre-installed themes associated with the Catalan club.

Recapping some specs of the R7 Plus, it features a huge 6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) AMOLED display and runs the 64-bit Octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor. Memory on the device sits at 3GB of RAM and for internal storage, you’ll get 32GBs (expandable to an extra 128GB via microSD card).

If you make use of the aforementioned expandable storage, you’ll utilise the second SIM tray slot on this Dual-SIM 4G LTE enabled phablet. This thin smart phone measures at only 7.75mm thickness but packs a huge 4100 mAh battery that supports VOOC Flash Charging (75% in 30 minutes).

The R7 Plus runs a 13-megapixel Sony sensor, which is readily equip with Phase Detection auto-focus and dual-tone LED flash; donning the front is a decent 8-megapixel selfie camera that provides ample amount of pixels to produce selfies. It’ll also feature a finger print sensor on its back under the mentioned camera module.

Software is supported by version 2.1 of ColorOS, based on Android 5.1 Lollipop. Initially priced (in July) at RM 1,998 in Malaysia, we’re unsure that with the current specs, OPPO will still be able to market this Barcelona edition at the same price.

No mention of pricing has cropped up yet for the Barcelona version but news floating around goes to say that the shipped unit will feature a packaging and accessories carrying the Barcelona name, leaving us to believe it’ll be a true representation of the La Liga giants.

Would we see this device sold globally? Most probably, as it’d be foolish for OPPO not to take advantage of the global presence the football club carries. Are die-hard Barcelona fans willing to drop a chunk on the purported device? You tell us.
