However, the standout feature of these phones is their ability to charge fast -- really fast. These devices' quick-charging technology means that you can get to 75% of a full charge in just half an hour. The Oppo R7 and its cousin also have other cool features, such as a fingerprint sensor on the back that allows you to unlock your device with the press of a finger. The handsets also features dual SIM card slots. These handsets are pretty impressive when you consider that they pack a whole array of software and hardware features into a package that's no thicker than 6.3 mm in the case of the R7 and 7.74 mm for the R7 Plus. Slim, compact and packed with cutting-edge tech, these phones are representative of the growing Chinese smartphone industry. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Rapid-charging Smartphones:** The Oppo R7 and R7 Plus feature lightning-fast charging technology, presenting an opportunity for smartphone manufacturers to explore innovative charging solutions. ### Who This Affects Most - **Smartphone Manufacturing:** The rapid-charging feature of the Oppo R7 and R7 Plus presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the smartphone manufacturing industry to integrate similar fast-charging technology into their devices. - **Battery Technology:** The lightning-speed charging capability of the Oppo R7 and R7 Plus highlights an opportunity for the battery technology industry to develop advanced, quick-charging batteries that can be used in various applications. - **Mobile Accessories:** The fast-charging feature of the Oppo R7 and R7 Plus creates an opportunity for the mobile accessories industry to create innovative charging solutions and accessories tailored for rapid-charging smartphones. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hyper-Charge Smartphone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realme-gt3.md) - [Hyper-Speedy Charging Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realme-gt-neo-5.md) - [Bypass-Charging Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bypasscharging-midrange-smartphones.md) - [Hyper-Fast Charging Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iqoo-neo7.md) - [Ultra-Fast Charging Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-12.md) - [Ultra-Fast Charging Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oneplus-10t.md) - [Hyper-Speed Charging Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realme-320w-supersonic-charge.md) - [Hypercharging Sleek Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-12-discovery.md) - [High-Power Charging Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realme-gt5.md)
