Oppo Reno 7 Pro Design
The design in the Reno series phone is a point that is always in the discussion. The same is the same with Reno 7 Pro. However, instead of curved display and shiny finish, the company designed this time Oppo Reno 6 Has taken from The phone has a flat aluminum frame and flat display. Beezers are very slim around the display and the bezel is very thin near the Hole Panch Cutout. The phone’s look at the front is very good. I personally like this design because I like flat displays compared to curved displays. Typing and swiping in curved displays become a bit complicated.
The glass back of Oppo Reno 7 Pro has a new finish. Oppo says that it has used the new laser process in which hundreds of fine carvings have been done on its panel. They appear to catch the phone on a particular angle. Finnish looks luxurious and does not even hold fingers. The camera module also has a multilayer design. A light strip glows when the phone is notified or applied on charging. However, its color cannot be replaced (if it is changed, the fun doubles), you can definitely choose which apps and events should shine.
Like Oppo Reno 7, Oppo Reno 7 Pro does not have a headphone jack and does not support expandable storage. It has stereo speakers. Color and contrast have been given very good in the 6.5 -inch AMOLED display. The screen is a fullHD panel, with a peak refresh rate of 90Hz and a touch sampling rate of 180Hz. Also, protection of Corning Gorilla 5 is also available to protect against scratch. If it has a refresh rate of 120Hz, it would be better.
The company has not skimpped in accessories received with the phone. 65W charger, one case, USB cable and SIM Ejector Tool are also available in the phone’s box. Overall, Oppo has given the phone a good design. The phone is quite slim and its thickness is only 7.45mm and the weight is only 180g grams.

Oppo Reno 7 Pro has a new processor MediaTek Dimensity 1200-Max. Actually, this is the standard Dimensity 1200 chip, with two special optimizations for Reno 7 Pro, the first of which is- AI Deblur, which works to improve the quality of selfie. At the same time, the second is AI-PQ, which can give an effect like HDR in regular video. There is no difference in its performance from the Max version. The RAM of the phone present in its software can be increased with the use of 7GB of storage of 12GB of phone.
Connectivity options of Oppo Reno 7 Pro include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC and common suits of satellite navigation systems. The company has a 4,500mAh battery with its own supervooc charger feature that supports 65W fast charging. In case of premium features, you may have an IP rating and lack of wireless charging for waterproofing in Oppo Reno 7 Pro. Even though these features in this segment are not common, but if they were on the phone, it could have produced more heat in the market.
Talking about the operating system of Oppo Reno 7 Pro, you get Coloros 12 based on Android 11. Whereas today’s latest smartphones come preloaded with Android 12. Many apps with the phone come in advance. Most of these are third party apps and can be removed. Inspired by Apple’s Memoji avatar, it has a new Omoji feature. With this you can create a digital avatar of your face, or choose from the incarnations already existing. But it is limited only to allways on displays and your phone’s account profile picture.
Oppo Reno 7 Pro performance and battery life
Oppo Reno 7 Pro, I have its affordable option Reno 7 Used for a week with. I found Reno 7 Pro quite smooth. The phone shape makes it easy and safe to use. The feedback of power and volume button is good. The display is response and can also be read easily in the direct sunlight. The in-display fingerprint sensor is quite fast and the same is with face recognition. Apart from gaming, the phone never felt unwanted heat. In gaming, the metal side and back panels were somewhat hot. Some prenstold apps were seen sending unnecessary notifications, but as I have told before, you can also uninstall them.
It was fun to watch the video on the Reno 7 Pro display. The viewing angles are good. The HDR video looked great. Standard videos also look good with the AI-PQ feature, but I cannot say with the claim how much this feature works, as it can also be caused by the effect AMOLED display.
PUBG: I tested New State on the phone. The number of high settings could go on the phone, I played it and the gaming experience was quite smooth. The display response was absolutely accurate. After half an hour of continuous gaming, the phone was heated but there was no decrease in the frame rates. In the case of benchmark numbers, Reno 7 Pro scored well but the performance with Snapdragon 888 processor cannot be expected from it. The device scored 6,28,794 points on AnTuTu which can be said to be quite good.
The battery life of the phone also affects. Our HD video loop lasted for 22 hours before the phone shut down in the test. This is a good run time. You can expect one and a half days to run in daily use. In light usage from medium, I was able to use it for a full two days, which is a very good run time. With the help of fast charger, the phone gets 66 percent charge in half an hour and is full charge within an hour.
Oppo reno 7 pro cameras
The phone has a 32 -megapixel selfie camera with a Sony IMX709 sensor. It provides RGBW pixel layout for better light sensitivity. It also supports Dol-HDR. It does not have autofocus and video recording is limited to 1080p. The second upgrade was seen in the primary camera with a popular sensor Sony IMX766. The company has not given optical stabilization which disappoints. The phone has an 8 -megapixel ultravide camera and a 2 -megapixel macro camera.
Instead of focusing on camera sensors, the company put more emphasis on laying features in the camera app. These include AI Highlight Video and Bokeh Flare Portrait filter. We also got these features in Reno 6 Series. A new feature is that aperture can be adjusted while shooting videos from the front and rear camera. Apart from this, many shooting modes like dual videos, experts and slow motion are also available.
From the main rear camera, the phone captured the photo with details in daylight. The color was good. However, in Extreme HDR condition, the phone was seen struggling to get the right exposure. In this case the ultra wide camera performed well but the details were seen to be reduced. Close-up shots of the main camera were also good, but in the case of exposure and color in too much light, the phone was seen struggling. Macro shooter was also able to give good clix in sufficient light.
The performance of the main camera was better in low-light. Close -ups were also sharp and clear and the color was also well maintained. In some landskep shots, sharpness looked more and could not draw low light photos. However, the situation in the night mode saw the situation improved. The selfie taken from the new front camera sensor was to affect. After closing the beauty filter, I was able to capture the right skin tone in the day time. Selfie was also good in low-light but I had to remain stable to capture sharp image.
The Bokeh filter was doing a good job during the day time. It maintained a light depth of field effect and converted bright spots into small colored balls. It also appeared very well in the effect video.
Talking about video recording, Oppo Reno 7 Pro can record up to 4K videos from the main rear camera but only 30fps. If you want a quality of 60fps, then it can be available only up to 1080p. And, if you use an AI effect or filter or also shoot with an ultravide camera, the resolution is limited to 1080p. The phone is quite limited at this price level. The 4K video quality average came in the day-light. Stabilization was good but the bright area overseaspose. Ultravide camera works well in video recording and crops the frame to avoid fish-i effect. The video in low-light was not so good. Its footage looked quite granny and scattered, which was less than the ideal in quality.
Verdict
Oppo Reno 7 Pro smartphone is a good upgrade to Reno 6 Pro. Oppo has done understanding by keeping the price low. Its flat display, stereo speakers and better camera sensors make it special. Battery life is good and superfast charging is also good. AI features and filters in the camera are quite fun and if you want to make a photo or video worth putting on social media without the help of an app, the phone is perfect in this matter.
There is still scope for many improvements in the phone. In the field of display and processor, I was expecting more improvement. I did not see much improvement in video recording. Despite the low price, I feel that its rivals are more value for money. Samsung Galaxy S20 Fe 5G, Moto Edge 20 Pro, Realme gt And Xiaomi 11t Pro For example, smartphones are equipped with more powerful processor and display with high refresh rates. In this price range, you also get a telephoto camera.
If you like the fashionable look and interesting camera features of the phone more than the performance, then you will be happy with this phone. This smartphone is obviously a better option from Reno 6 Pro, but there are more feature packed options in the market.
