OPPO Reno7 5G and Reno7 Pro 5G with FHD+ 90Hz OLED display, Dimensity 900 / 1200-Max launched in India starting at Rs. 28999

OPPO just launched the Reno7 and Reno7 Pro 5G smartphones in the Reno7 series in India, as it had promised. The Reno7 has a 6.43-inch screen and the Reno7 Pro features a 6.55-inch screen, both with OLED panel with 90Hz refresh rate. The OPPO Reno7 is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC and the Reno7 Pro is powered by Dimensity 1200-Max that promises enhanced display, better imaging and video clarity. These run ColorOS 12 based on Android 11, and the company says that Android 12 is expected to roll out in Q1 to Q2 2022.

Camera

The Reno7 Pro features Sony’s new 32MP IMX709 selfie sensor. It is a customised RGBW (red, blue, green, white) front image sensor that can capture crisper and more evenly-exposed photos and videos; it is 60% more sensitive to light and reduces noise by 30% when compared to traditional RGB sensors.

For selfies, the Reno7’s front camera automatically switches from 85° to a 90° angle when it detects more than two people in the viewfinder to capture multi-person snapshots. Additionally, in portrait photos, camera algorithms separate the subject in the foreground, detect light sources in the background to produce a soft lens flare and finally, blur the background for a more natural-looking Bokeh flare effect.

The Reno7 Pro 5G has a IMX766 large rear sensor that captures more light when shooting photos and videos. It also supports 26 adjustable bokeh levels, said OPPO. It also has Bokeh Flare Portrait video that accurately identifies the human subject in any complex background that we had seen in the Reno 6 series.

Both, the rear and front cameras support DOL-HDR technology, which increases the dynamic range to shoot well-exposed images and detailed low-light videos; the cameras capture multiple long-exposure and short-exposure frames almost simultaneously and fuse them into a single vibrant snapshot.

The Reno7 Pro also uses first-of-its-kind 3D “breathing” lights around the camera module. Here, a 1mm diameter fibre is bent to frame the camera area and emit soft, pulsating lights whenever the phone receives a call, message, or during charging.

OPPO Glow is a design technology where the glass back cover of the phone achieves two seemingly paradoxical properties: Matte texture and a shiny appearance. These make the phone fingerprint and stain-resistant. The newer LDI technology has been repurposed to etch fine textures—as small as 20 microns in size—onto the photoresist-coated AG glass back cover of the Reno7 series, said OPPO.

It added that each device’s back features a total of 1.2 million micro-etchings that create the illusion of thousands of stars—complete with long tails of light—shining across the sky. These micron-scale etchings give the phones a matte in-hand feel and brushed finish. The Reno7 Pro feature a lightweight, yet durable aluminum middle frame offering a flat-edge design making it easier to hold and operate.

The Reno7 Pro has 12GB of RAM can be supplemented with an additional 3GB/5GB/7GB of expanded memory and for the Reno 6 it’s 8GB + 3GB/5GB. The Reno7 Pro has X-axis linear motor. Both the phones pack a 4500mAh battery with 65W SUPERVOOC charging technology that can charge the phone up to 100% in 31 minutes.
