REVIEW OF THE OPPO RENO 7:IS IT STILL A GOOD BUY?

Introduction

The Oppo Reno 7 is a smaller variant of the Oppo Reno 7 Pro, as well as a cheaper alternative to the Oppo Reno 6. Unlike the Reno 7 Pro, the Reno 7's improvements are mostly centered on the design. The Reno 6's features and specifications remain largely identical, despite the addition of a few handy features such as expandable storage and a slightly larger battery. Now that I've addressed the major differences in my initial thoughts on the phone, let's look at how it works. Is the Oppo Reno 7's price equivalent to the previous model? Continue reading to find out.

Oppo Reno 7 Cost Value

The Oppo Reno 7 is available in India in only one configuration: 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage for Rs. 28,999. The extra storage over the Reno 6 is good, and it's even better that it can be expanded thanks to the dedicated microSD card slot. Startrails Blue and Stary Black are the two colors available for the Reno 7.

The Binge Design of the Oppo Reno 7

The Oppo Reno 7's fresh appearance is appealing. The phone's rounded frame and curved back borders give it a stylish appearance. On the back, the Reno 7 has the same laser-etched pattern as the Reno 7 Pro. It has a nice appearance and does not attract fingerprints. With a weight of only 173g, this phone is also small and light.

All of this makes the phone quite easy to handle and use, although Oppo has had to make some concessions. The Reno 7's glossy frame and back panel are made of plastic, rather than metal and glass-like on the Reno 7 Pro. Even the Reno 6 features an aluminum frame, making this a more durable option.

There is a headphone jack on the Oppo Reno 7. The 6.4-inch AMOLED display is identical to the previous model's. It offers a full-HD+ resolution, a maximum refresh rate of 90Hz, and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Except for the chin, the bezels around the display are relatively thin. In addition to the selfie camera in the hole-punch cutout, you get an in-display fingerprint sensor and facial recognition.

A case, a 65W charger, a USB cable, and a SIM eject tool are included with the Oppo Reno 7.

Specifications for the Oppo Reno 7

The MediaTek Dimensity 900 from the Reno 6 is used in the Reno 7. Although this is still a very modern and strong 5G SoC that is constructed using a power-efficient 6nm fabrication process, adding something newer like the Density 920 would have made this phone more competitive, especially against Qualcomm's Snapdragon 778G-based handsets. The Reno 7 includes Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, and support for conventional satellite navigation systems. Stereo speakers are missing from the phone, which is a disappointing feature

Software for the Oppo Reno 7

The product experience on the Oppo Reno 7 is indistinguishable from utilizing the Reno 7 Pro. It runs ColorOS 12 in light of Android 11 and will doubtlessly get a steady Android 12 update soon. You get plenty of alternate routes and signals, a subject store to customize the appearance of your telephone, and a lot of customizations for the consistently in plain view as well, including new Apple-like Emoji symbols. There's a lot of bloatware as well, as outsider applications, which tend to stop up your notice conceal with malicious cautions.

Hardware for the Oppo Reno 7

The 7 Pro may be worth the extra Rs 11,000 if you're a gamer or require more processing power. The Mediatek Dimensity 900 processor powers the Reno 7, which has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

The Reno 7 Pro offers a noticeable advantage in the camera sector, with better low-light performance. I enjoyed shooting portraits with the Reno 7 in the style of a DSLR. To lightly blur the background, use the camera's 25 changeable aperture settings. The triple back cam consolidates a 64MP essential cam, an 8MP super-wide focal point, and a 2MP full-scale shooter.

Performance for the Oppo Reno 7

The SoC is adequately strong to deal with generally utilized usefulness and social applications. . The UI was also smooth at 90Hz, with no obvious sluggishness or animation slowdowns. The phone's lightweight and small form made it easy to carry around in my pocket, and the one-handed operation was also convenient.

Cameras for the Oppo Reno 7

The camera app's AI functions have reportedly been improved, and you can now digitally adjust the aperture for a narrower depth of field when recording movies, just like on the Reno 7 Pro. However, they are small tweaks, and everything else remains unchanged from what we've seen on the Reno 6. The phone's video stabilization is still restricted to 1080p, and it can shoot at up to 4K at 30 frames per second. When you shoot video with any of the filters or AI functions enabled, the resolution defaults to 1080p.

Similarly, the camera sensors are essentially the same as described. The Oppo Reno 7 comes with a 64-megapixel primary camera with an f/1.7 aperture, an 8-megapixel wide-angle camera, and a 2-megapixel large-scale camera. A 32-megapixel front-facing camera is available for selfies.

Landscapes and close-up photographs were taken in daylight with the main camera being fairly accurate in terms of color. The ultra-wide camera captured less information but provided a larger perspective. Low-light images were good, and night mode improved the exposure while effectively suppressing noise.

Selfies taken during the day were extremely amazing. Also, there is the Bokeh Flare Portrait filter, which provides a cool background effect. Selfies were taken in low light also featured a lot of detail.

Battery life for the Oppo Reno 7

The Reno 7 also performed admirably with videos and games. The videos on Amazon Prime Video and YouTube appeared to be of high quality. The audio quality was adequate, but dual speakers would have enhanced the experience. With the graphics quality turned up, heavy games like PUBG: New State performed smoothly. The Reno 7 never became excessively hot during gameplay, even after extended sessions.

The increase in battery capacity to 4,500mAh (up from 4,300mAh) appears to have had an influence on battery life. In a loop test, the Oppo Reno 7 lasted 19 hours and 25 minutes, which is three hours longer than the Reno 6. The phone charged quickly as well, and I was able to fully charge it in under an hour using the included charger.
