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.
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 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.
The Reno 7 5G, is the younger sibling of the Reno 7 Pro and comes with a few changes. For starters, it doesn’t come with a flat-edge design but shares a resemblance with the Pro model. The phone comes in Starry Black and Startrails Blue colors.
The Reno 7 is home to a 64MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro camera. It comes with many attractive camera features like DSLR-like Portrait mode, Bokeh Flare for both videos and photos, AI Highlight Video, AI Color Video, dual-video mode, and more Reno 7 Pro-like features.
It also sources its power from a 4,500mAh battery and supports 65W fast charging. The phone runs ColorOS 12 based on Android 11. Most of the other features remain the same as the Reno 7 Pro.
