Oppo Reno7 Pro 5G review: Great camera phone | Tech US News

[ad_1]

Over the past few years, Oppo’s Reno series has steadily earned a good reputation in the mid-range priced smartphones in the Indian market.

Oppo’s latest Reno7 Pro 5G series comes with a bigger camera upgrade than its predecessors and also improved battery life. It costs Rs 39,999.

Create, display and optimize:
Oppo Reno7 Pro carries forward the flat edge design language of Reno6. It also has curved lines and the back shell, especially our review unit Startrails Blue, looks beautiful to the eyes. Although it is covered with frosted glass on the back, it creates a good light when viewed from different angles.

Also, as I said in the previous first impression, the device works very well at removing fingerprint smudges.

And, the aluminum rails around the phone are very stable and good, providing a good mobile experience.

On the front, the display is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 shield and on the back, Oppo has used Panda Glass. They can guard against scratches from keys in the pocket. Users don’t have to worry about damage due to drops, because the company provides a good quality silicone back cover. It is very thick to provide a cushion effect around the corners to support the loss of hardness.

As far as display quality is concerned, it has a brightness of 920 nits, good enough to watch content outdoors and even in direct sunlight.

The device comes with a 6.55-inch full HD+ (1080 x 2400p) AMOLED display with 89.4% screen-to-body ratio. It features a small camera on the top left and does not interfere much when viewing content or reading on the web. The refresh rate is capped at 90hz, which does not make a noticeable difference compared to the normal 60hz we see in most phones. It would be great if the company made a display that supports 120hz, which will improve the user experience in terms of navigating the phone and also browsing the internet. It should be noted that there are very few games that support 120Hz. It should be noted that the display supports 180Hz touch sampling rate, which is more than enough to have a good user when playing battle royale games.

The unique aspect of the Oppo Reno7 Pro 5G is the 3D ‘breathing light’ around the camera module. The company has incorporated 1mm diameter fiber placed all around the camera module. Whenever you receive a call or notification and during charging, it glows creating a blue aura around the camera.

Also, the in-screen fingerprint sensor works very well. It responds quickly to finger input and activates the screen in no time.

Good performance
Oppo Reno7 Pro comes with Android 11-based ColorOS 12, 12GB LPDDRX RAM, 256GB storage and MediaTek Dimensity 1200 Max, an update of Dimensity 1200. The new version is a custom chip jointly developed by MediaTek and Oppo. It is based on the Arm Cortex-A78 microarchitecture and supports a peak CPU speed of 3GHz and the chipset combines a nine-core ARM G77 MC9 graphics engine, a powerful AI processor, advanced 5G modem and Wi-Fi 6.

It also promises to provide better gaming and even higher 5G internet download speeds of up to 7Gbps. Oppo’s device supports 11 5G bands: n1/3/5/7/8/38/41/28A/28B/77/78.

In terms of daily activities, the phone works well without lag and even during games, the Reno7 Pro is good.


Oppo Reno7 Pro’s single-core and multi-core tests appear on the Geekbench test app.

However, it is a bit sad that the company does not provide Android 12 OS on the Reno7 Pro 5G. Maybe, Oppo plays like Xiaomi. There have been reports of devices running Android 12 with a number of inconsistencies and compromised user experience. But, I hope that Oppo releases the bug free Android 12 update as soon as possible.

With a 4,500mAh battery, the phone can deliver a full day under normal use. I like the 65W charger, the company provided with the retail box. Yes, it lives up to the hype of the power of the phone from zero to 100 percent​​​​​​​in the area of ​​32 minutes.

Photography
Oppo Reno7 Pro 5G main 50MP (1/1.56-inch Sony IMX766 sensor, f/1.8 aperture, 1.0um pixel size, 24mm wide lens) supported by 8MP (f/2.2) 118.9-degree ultra-wide lens and 2MP (f/ 2.4) macro camera with LED flash.

It uses beautiful pictures in bright light. It keeps the colors and details captured well worthy of sharing on social media apps.

The ultra-wide-angle mode also works well in fitting more areas in the frame. The digital zoom works well up to 5x, and beyond that the image starts to turn grainy.

When the light is low such as in the evening, in the morning or at night, the pictures come out well.

At night, the pictures are good. As you can see in the examples, it looks like a beautiful oil painting based on art.

It supports video recording up to 4K at 30 fps (frames per second), 1080p at 30/60/120 fps. With gyro-EIS (Electronic Image Stabiliser), the Reno7 Pro can deliver stable videos and the quality of color contrasts the world’s details such as flowers.

On the front, it houses 32MP (1/2.74-inch Sony IMX709 sensor with f/2.4 aperture) with gyro-EIS. Reno7 Pro 5G takes really good selfies (including portraits) and is very happy with edge recognition, especially the hair on the head. I have seen more expensive phones fail in this. Thumbs up to the Oppo team for this feat.

The wide field of view works well to accommodate many people for group selfies.

Also, the tool like other brands has filters and retouch tools to change the size of the eyes, nose, cheeks, chin, head and other parts of the face I can’t blame them, because they only make people want to leave the relationship in the relationship.

Last thought
Besides the good photo equipment, I like the 3D breathing light around the camera and the beautiful shell of the blue startrail model. This special type of value addition makes the Oppo Reno7 Pro stand out from the competition and the purchase.

Other factors like performance and battery life are on par with any of the competitor brands in the sub-Rs 40,000 price segment.
