Oppo Find 7 and Find 7a in Australia only at G4G

 
The Oppo Find 7 and Find 7a is the next premium device to be released from Oppo.
(NB: Official Australian Release date and pricing yet to be release by Oppo)
 
It sports a 5.5" screen, with a resolution higher than many LCD TVs on the market today! Coming in at a whopping 1440 x 2560 screen resolution (or a crazy 534 ppi (pixels per inch) density - the iPhone 5S is only 640 x 1136 pixels, at 4.0 inches (~326 ppi pixel density)) the screen looks absolutely amazing!
 
The Find 7's 'little' brother the Find 7a, isn't really 'little'.. it's exactly the same size. The only real difference is the battery size, slightly slower CPU and screen resolution. The Find 7a still has amazingly quick speeds a great display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 (meaning 401 ppi for the ppi lovers out there) which is still crystal clear and can be described as nothing short of 'retina'.
 
We've had one (the Find 7a) at G4GHQ for a few weeks now, and the phone while a little on the phablet side, makes for a great all round day to day phone. It excels in consuming media (movies, TV, the web), and taking the odd photo or two. When the Battery depletes, it takes about 30 minutes to charge from 10% back up to full with the included charger - this means you can be back on the road in no time! We've got a Qi Wireless module plugged up into the phone, and it works a treat as well. 
 
While we don't have any of the phones in stock to sell (yet... email us if you're interested).
  • Cases
  • Tempered glass screen protectors
  • Plastic screen protectors
  • USB OTG Cable
  • Desktop Docks
  • Qi Wireless Charging receiver modules in stock and ready to go!
 
Are you Interested in getting one? Come down to our store in Drummoyne NSW to check it out. Oppo Find 7a in Australia.

Getting Fit Over Winter? Great Gadgets we think you'll need.

 
Getting fit, or staying fit during winter is hard. It's dark, rainy and in some parts of Australia as soon as the sun disappears it gets really cold, really quick.
 
Most 'normal' animals do the right thing and stay out of the cold. Bears for example eat themselves silly just before the cold, then just sleep all through the winter until it's warm enough to come out again! (that'd be the life...). If you are going to stay fit, you need the right tools for the job, and we think we've put together a pretty good list of the essentials you'll need. 
 
 
1. Keeping warm while getting fit outdoors.
 
Whether it's a beanie or ear-muffs, you can now keep your head warm while having your head warmer be functional. Headphone Beanie
 
These cool beanies from Twitfish (available in Grey, Pink and Striped Black) have headphones built in that allow you to listen to your music or podcasts while you get fit and fight that cold winter chill. They work with any smartphone, tablet or PS Vita (for when you're on the bus or train commuting to work).
 
Headphone Ear-MuffThe Ear-Muffs from Twitfish have a wrap around style to let you wear a hat with a visor for those early morning jogs (or if you don't want to ruin your expertly styled hair on your way out and about). Available in Blur Fur, Purple Fur, Suede Grey, Black Knit, Brown Knit and a special Winter Style Knit, we have all colours to match any style. The sound quality on these are great, and guaranteed to keep you warm while battling the winter cold.  
 
 
2. Where do I keep my phone and keys if it rains?
 
Do you take a carry a waterproof backpack? Argh, so bulky when on a quick run..
How about I just keep my phone in my pocket and hope it stays dry? And risk ruining an $800 phone? You're brave!
I know.. i'll use a Glad Bag! Umm seriously? Just no.
 
The Avantree Multifunction Armband was made for just this scenario.
Made to be universal, it works with even some of today's larger smartphones.Multifunction water resitant armband It boasts enough room for your Keys, Cards and your smartphone all the while keeping them water free with it's water resistant enclosure. It has a headphone jack output hole on the bottom so water doesn't creep in from the top.
 
It's Premium build quality and ergonomic design means it fits nicely to your arm and doesn't get in the way.
 
[Editors note: Seriously.. a glad bag?]
 
 
3. Gloves, you can't stay warm without keeping your hands nice and cosy!
 
Knitted Gloves are Knitted Gloves right? Wrong. Here at Gadgets 4 Geeks we like everything to be functional.. and connected. These newly released bluetooth gloves are made especially for those that like everything to be Inspector Gadget Phoneconnected. These bluetooth gloves have an LED notification light, built in microphone and speaker, and a call answer and hang up button.
 
A phone built into gloves? Remind you of anything? Yep, Inspector Gadget...
 
 
These Bluetooth Knitted Gloves have capacitive finger and thumb woven in to allow you to use your smartphone with the gloves on, and when you get a call you just press the answer button, hold your hand up to your face with your thumb in your ear, and your pinky near your mouth. It couldn't be simpler and is much easier to use than dealing with headphone mic cables. Plus you'll look like Inspector Gadget!
