Oppo introduced the Reno7 series back in November 2021, and now the lineup is finally starting its global rollout. The first market is India, where we saw an introduction of the Oppo Reno7 Pro with its 50MP main camera with a Sony IMX766 sensor. It was accompanied by a vanilla variant called Oppo Reno7, which is different from the Chinese in some key fields like the chipset and the size.
The Oppo Reno7 Pro comes with a Dimensity 1200 Max chipset
with 5G capabilities and 12GB RAM. The company claims the memory can expand by
up to 7GB with the Dynamic RAM expansion by using some of the 256GB storage to
dump files that aren't immediately needed.
At the front the Reno7 Pro has a 6.5” 90Hz AMOLED display
with a punch hole in the top left corner for the 32MP selfie camera with a Sony
IMX709 sensor. Around the back the 50MP (1/1.56") f/1.8S main shooter is
shared with a high-flying Find X3 Pro. The 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro cameras
aren't quite as impressive, but it's still a very solid setup overall.
The 4,500mAh battery supports 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 fast
charging. The Reno7 Pro will launch with ColorOS 12 out of the box, but the
interface is based on Android 11. The global Oppo Reno7 has the Dimensity 900
chipset compared to the Snapdragon 778G in the Chinese version. It is still
built on the 6nm node and has some its high-performance cores running at 2.4
GHz. The phone will be sold in India with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.
Its 6.43” AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate and 180Hz
touch sampling rate matches the Chinese version and so does the camera setup.
That means a 32MP selfie camera and a 64MP main camera on the back. There's
also the 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro snappers shared with the Reno7 Pro.
Since the phone is coming with a different chipset, Oppo had
to make some internal rearrangements. The thickness has slightly increased to
7.8 mm, but the weigh dropped by 12g to 173g, compared to the Chinese Reno7.
Another minor concerns the battery - while the capacity
remains 4,500 mAh, Oppo certified the Reno7 for 65W SuperVOOC in India,
compared to the slightly slower 60W rates at the home scene. The Oppo Reno7
will arrive in Blue and Black at Flipkart, Oppo's website and select offline
stores. Price will begin at INR 28,999 (US$ 390), with the first sale scheduled for
February 17. The Reno7 Pro will be available in Blue and Black over the same
channels as its vanilla sibling for INR 39,999 (US$ 535), starting on February 8.
The event also saw the arrival of the Oppo Watch Free which
is a device bridging the smartband and smartwatche categories with its
rectangular body. It has a 1.64” AMOLED and the company promises a long battery
life. The price is INR 5,999 (US$ 80).
Another device we saw on stage was the Oppo Enco M32
neckband earphones in Green. It is already available at Amazon India for
INR 1,799 (less than US$ 25), when purchased in Black, and the price will remain
the same for the new color as well.
