Hands-on review: Reno7 Pro 5G

Global technology brand OPPO, recently launched the all-new Reno7 Series in the GCC region. The new models include – Reno7 Pro 5G, Reno7 5G and Reno7 Z 5G.

OPPO unveiled a light show on Ain Dubai, the world’s largest and tallest observation wheel, to celebrate the launch. The presentation illuminated the Dubai Marina skyline while highlighting the series’ features, including the design, orbit breathing light, fast-charging and camera capabilities. Like most of its predecessors in the Reno series, the camera remains the star attraction of the Reno7 Pro 5G, too. But this time around, it promises to offer a much more rounded smartphone experience instead of relying only on the camera.

Design and display
OPPO says that the Reno7 Pro 5G is designed to bring unlimited possibilities through a completely upgraded portrait photo and video experience, exceptional power and performance, and the convenient and inclusive ColorOS 12. Slim and lightweight, the phone looks stunning with a matte finish shimmery back panel. The smartphone is 7.45mm and 180gms which makes it very easy to hold. The Reno7 Pro 5G comes with a 6.5inch full HD + AMOLED display along with a 90Hz refresh rate.

Performance, storage and battery
Powered by MediaTek Dimensity, OPPO claims that the Reno7 Pro 5G delivers super fast 5G performance. The Reno7 Pro 5G is among the first series of smartphones to include the new ColorOS 12 out of the box. Built around an inclusive design concept, the ColorOS 12 can significantly improve productivity and privacy. As regards the storage, the smartphone comes with a large 12GB RAM + 256GB ROM configuration together with OPPO’s RAM expansion technology. As for the battery life, it provides 65W SuperVOOC, where you can charge the phone’s 4500mAh battery to 100 per cent in as little as 31 minutes and just a five-minute charge is enough to give four hours of movie playbacks, meaning worries about battery life on a 5G phone are a thing of the past.

Camera capabilities
OPPO is known for offering good camera features. And this time the company claims the phone to be a ‘portrait expert’. True to its words, the newly launched phone boasts the ultimate Portrait Camera System, with two imaging sensors — the IMX709 and the IMX766 — laying the foundations of this completely upgraded portrait imaging experience. With the updated Bokeh Flare Portrait Video and AI Highlight Video features, together with an all-new Portrait Mode, users can easily capture professional-looking portraits, both in video and photo. The phone has a triple rear camera with a 50MP main camera along with a 8MP ultrawide angle and 2MP macro camera. The front camera supports 32MP.

With Bokeh Flare Portrait for photo and video available on both the front and back cameras of Reno7 Pro 5G, it’s now super easy to record videos and photos with dream-like bokeh lights as your glittering backdrop. OPPO has also introduced the Omoji features which is a digital avatar of yourself which can be personalised.

Immersive gaming experience
To create an even more immersive gaming experience on Reno7 Pro 5G, a top-of- the-line X-Axis Linear Motor has been added to the phone. The X-Axis Liner Motor delivers varying levels of vibration feedback. You can immerse yourself into a crisp, immersive gaming experience that’s like no other. With the new features and unlimited possibilities offered, we believe OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G is an ideal device for people looking for great performance, photography and gaming. It is now available for pre-order in two colours – Startrails Blue and Starlight Black across UAE for Dhs2,799.
