Oppo has finally introduced the Reno 7 series, consisting of the Reno 7 5G and the Reno 7 Pro 5G in India. The smartphones, which were initially launched in China last year, succeed the Oppo Reno 6 series and come with a new design, improved focus on cameras, and loads more. Here’s a look at all you need to know.
Oppo Reno 7 Pro 5G: Specs and Features
The Reno 7 Pro carries the Reno 6‘s flat-edge design but features a slightly different-looking rear camera hump. This time, it gets slightly bigger camera housings. The front has a corner-placed punch-hole selfie camera. It is touted as the slimmest Reno ever with a weight of 180 grams. The Reno 7 Pro comes in Starlight Black and Startrails Blue colorways. Another highlight is the Orbit Breathing Light, which surrounds the rear camera bump and glows when a notification pops up or when you are charging your phone.
The phone gets a 6.5-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and an aspect ratio of 20:9. It is powered by the 6nm MediaTek 1200-Max chipset, paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. This new Oppo phone retains the RAM expansion feature and supports up to 7GB of extra RAM.
The camera department, much like this predecessor, is one of the main highlights. The phone comes with an upgraded Portrait mode with professional effects, Bokeh Flare Portrait mode, AI Highlight Video, Ultra Night Video, dual-video mode, SOLOOP videos, and more. There is a 50MP main camera with a Sony IMX766 sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a color temperature sensor.
Upfront, there is a 32MP selfie shooter with a Sony IMX709 sensor, which is the world’s first RGBW unit for 60% more light and clearer images. It also supports the use of DOL-HDR for long-exposure shots.
The Reno 7 Pro is backed by a 4,500mAh battery with support for 65W SuperVOOC fast charging and runs ColorOS 12 based on Android 11. It is disappointing to see the company release a phone with Android 11 out-of-the-box in February 2022, close to six months after the Android 12 stable release globally. For gaming, the device has support for an X-axis linear motor, Ultra-Touch response, and AI frame rate stabilizer.
Additionally, it supports an in-display fingerprint scanner, Oppo Omoji (its version of Animoji), NFC, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth version 5,2, and more. Check out how the Reno 7 Pro 5G performs in the real world in our latest YouTube video:
