This year, OPPO launched two mid-rangers from the Reno series in the global market, two devices no one would expect. We are talking about the vanilla OPPO Reno7 in a 4G version and the OPPO Reno8 Lite 5G which hitten the European market before the rest of the Reno8 lineup. These two devices are not known by the same names in the Asian market and they are rebrands of devices known by different names in India and China. The 5G connectivity is not the only difference between these two devices, even though they are both mid-rangers and they belong to similar price ranges. This is a comparison between the specifications of the OPPO Reno7 and the OPPO Reno8 Lite 5G which will tell you the differences between them.

OPPO Reno7 vs OPPO Reno8 Lite 5G

Design

Both the OPPO Reno7 and the OPPO Reno8 Lite 5G come with stunning designs and they are among the most amazing mid-rangers in terms of aesthetics. Which one should you prefer? It mostly depends on your personal tastes. The OPPO Reno7 comes with a great leather back but it also guarantees a great durability thanks to stringent lab tests. It is water resistant thanks to the IPX4 and, around one of the rear cameras, there is a RGB ring light which can be used as a notification LED and customized through ColorOS. The OPPO Reno8 Lite 5G replaces the leather back with a glass back and it adds another RGB ring light on the rear side, so that you get two customizable lights useful as notification LEDs or to show the battery charging progress. Just like its sibling, the OPPO Reno8 Lite 5G is water resistance with the IPX4 certification. Both the handsets are very thin and lightweight, with flat borders and a frame made of polycarbonate. Another important difference is the camera module: you get a camera isle on the Reno7, while on the Reno8 Lite 5G the sensors are placed directly on the back cover. Which one do you prefer?

Display

One of the strongest points of these two handsets is the fact that they come with AMOLED panels providing deep blacks and brilliant colors, as well as a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and a pretty good brightness level. They also come with good in-display fingerprint reader: I tried both these phones and they are fast and reactive. Even the diagonal is the same: 6.43 inches for both the phones. There is only one single difference: the refresh rate: the OPPO Reno7 wins the display comparison because it offers a higher 90 Hz refresh rate, while the OPPO Reno8 Lite 5G has a standard 60 Hz refresh rate. Both the handset feature a mono speaker, but they come with a 3.5 mm audio jack.

Hardware/Software

The most advanced hardware setup belongs to the OPPO Reno8 Lite 5G. First of all, it has a better chipset: the Snapdragon 695 5G SoC by Qualcomm built at 6 nm and running at a max frequency of 2.2 GHz. This chip supports the 5G connectivity and it is composed of two Kryo 660 Gold CPUs running at a frequency of 2.2 GHz, six Kryo 660 Silver CPUs running at 1.7 GHz, and an Adreno 619 CPU. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage which you can furtherly expand with a micro SD slot. The OPPO Reno7 has an inferior Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 mobile platform built at 6 nm and running at a max frequency of 2.4 GHz, with an inferior Adreno 610 GPU and without the 5G connectivity. On the other hand, the OPPO Reno7 runs a more recent software version: it has Android 12 out of the box, customized by ColorOS 12.1, while the OPPO Reno8 Lite 5G still comes with Android 11, even though it is customized by ColorOS 12.

Camera

The main camera of these two phones is exactly the same: a 64 MP sensor with an f/1.7 focal aperture. There is also the same depth sensor, but the OPPO Reno7 replaces the useless macro camera of the Reno8 Lite 5G with a more useful 2 MP microscope camera supporting better magnification. Last but not least, the Reno7 has a superior front camera with a 32 MP resolution, while the OPPO Reno8 Lite 5G stops at 16 MP.

Battery

These phones are equipped with exactly the same battery, they have the same fast charging technology with a power of 33W, and they support reverse charging through a cable. The battery life is very similar.

OPPO Reno7 vs OPPO Reno8 Lite 5G: Price

You need about €400/$405 to purchase the OPPO Reno8 Lite 5G and about €330/$335 for the OPPO Reno7, if you exclude street prices and discounts. Overall, if we exclude the 5G connectivity and the chipset, the Reno7 is a superior phone. But if you prefer having higher performance and 5G, then the Reno8 Lite 5G is a better choice.

OPPO, one of the world’s leading smartphone makers, announced that the company conducted a 5G standalone and non-standalone network trial in partnership with Indian telecom network operator Reliance Jio.

Reliance Jio, which is a relatively new player in India’s telecom sector but one of the leading ones, carried out these tests by utilizing the allocated mid-band trial spectrum which is in the range of 3.3GHz to 3.6GHz frequency range.

OPPO has further said that the 5G trial was successfully concluded on the Reno7 smartphone in a demo setup. The company adds that it could get lag-free 4K video streams on the device along with super-fast download and upload speed.

The OPPO Reno7 Pro, a smartphone that was launched in the Indian market a few weeks ago, comes with support for up to 10 bands while the standard Reno7 supports up to 13 bands that will support access to the 5G network anywhere in the country. The OPPO Reno7 is priced at ₹28,999 in the Indian market.

In a statement, Tasleem Arif, Vice President, India Research & Development Head, OPPO India, said:  “Technology such as 5G is altering how the world communicates today and tests like these will further consolidate our efforts in the industry and provide the best value proposition for our customers.”

The Indian government is set to open auctions for the 5G spectrum in the country by the end of this year and is eyeing a commercial rollout of the next-generation communication technology sometime in 2023.

OPPO is gearing up to launch the Reno7 series smartphones in the Indian market on 4th February and as the official launch date for the devices nears, more details about the smartphones are surfacing online.

Unlike the OPPO Reno7 series already launched in the Chinese market, some models of this lineup in the Indian market will come with a different set of specifications. However, the OPPO Reno7 Pro will remain the same, as confirmed by the company in a press release.

OPPO confirms that the Reno7 Pro will come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 MAX processor.

OPPO will be finally debuting the OPPO Reno7 series in India after teasing it for the past few days. Here’s what the new phones from the brand will offer and how much they are expected to cost.

Upcoming Smartphone Next Week

OPPO Reno7 Series

The OPPO Reno7 series will launch in India on February 4. The live stream for the event will kickstart at 12 PM IST. It will be broadcasted by the official OPPO India handles on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.

The company is anticipated to debut two models in the lineup, namely OPPO Reno7 and OPPO Reno7 Pro. These two handsets and OPPO Reno7 SE initially went official in China at the end of November.

OPPO Reno7

The OPPO Reno7 coming to India is said to be a rebranded OPPO Reno7 SE. Hence, the device will have features like a 6.43-inch 90Hz FHD+ AMOLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 900 chipset, LPDDR4x RAM, UFS 2.2 storage, 48MP (wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) triple camera setup, 16MP selfie camera, in-screen fingerprint sensor, ColorOS 12 based on Android 11, 4,500mAh battery, and 33W fast charging.

The phone is rumored to cost ₹29,990 for the single 8GB + 256GB variant. But according to a retailer, it will cost ₹31,490 for the sole 8GB + 128GB memory configuration.

OPPO Reno7 Pro

Unlike the OPPO Reno7, the OPPO Reno7 Pro heading to India is expected to be the same as the handset sold in China. Therefore, it will arrive with features like a notification LED light around the camera island, 6.55-inch 90Hz FHD+ AMOLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 1200-MAX chipset, LPDDR4x RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, 50MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple camera setup, 32MP selfie camera, in-screen fingerprint sensor, ColorOS 12 based on Android 11, 4,500mAh battery, and 65W fast charging.

The post Upcoming Smartphones: OPPO Reno7 series heading to India appeared first on Gizmochina.

OPPO has confirmed to launch the OPPO Reno7 series in India on February 4. The company is expected to introduce two models in the lineup, namely OPPO Reno7 and OPPO Reno7 Pro. Ahead of their official announcement, their price has leaked once again.

According to the source of tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore, the OPPO Reno7 will retail at ₹29,990 in India for the sole 8GB + 256GB memory configuration. On the other hand, the OPPO Reno7 Pro will cost ₹39,990 for the single 12GB + 256GB variant.

The leaker requests the public to consider this information with a pinch of salt. Because the previous reports have suggested higher price tags.

A retailer listing recently revealed that the OPPO Reno7 will come in an 8GB + 128GB version priced at ₹31,490. Whereas, the OPPO Reno7 Pro was earlier said to retail at around ₹41,000-₹43,000.

As far as the devices are concerned, the OPPO Reno7 Pro coming to India is the same as the phone sold in China. However, the OPPO Reno7 for India is said to be a rebranded OPPO Reno7 SE.

In a nutshell, both these handsets are already official and we know everything about them. In fact, we had already reviewed the OPPO Reno7 Pro back in December.

OPPO will be launching the OPPO Reno7 series in India on February 4. The smartphones are expected to be accompanied by OPPO Watch Free. Since these devices are already official in China, we know almost everything about them. However, there’s one thing you should know.

PassionateGeekz says that the OPPO Reno7 for India is a rebranded OPPO Reno7 SE from China, quoting an undisclosed retailer as a source. The publication also adds that the handset will retail at ₹31,490 for the single 8GB + 128GB memory configuration.

At the same time, the official website of OPPO India has a promotional page for the upcoming OPPO Reno7 series. Interestingly, on this webpage, there’s not a single picture of the vanilla OPPO Reno7 (via MySmartPrice).

Instead, there are multiple images of OPPO Reno7 Pro and a sole image of OPPO Reno7 SE. All of these indeed suggest that the OPPO Reno7 coming to India is different from the one sold in China. 

Anyway, the company hasn’t confirmed this and we don’t think it will ever do. It’s a known fact as brands don’t talk about rebranding publicly and there’s no need for it too.

Having said that, it will be interesting to see which device will now arrive as OPPO Reno7 SE in India as it is also being tipped to launch in the country.

OPPO has been teasing the launch of the OPPO Reno7 series in India for the last few days. With the start of a new week, the company has now officially revealed when the next generation of Reno smartphones will debut in India. It is indeed coming in the first week of February as revealed by a tipster.

The OPPO Reno7 series has been confirmed to launch in India on February 4. Just like the previous gen, this one will also be sold via Flipkart, OPPO online store, and offline stores across the country.

Though the brand is yet to confirm the devices that are coming to the region, it is being said all three models will be introduced. However, we may only see the announcement of the OPPO Reno7 and OPPO Reno7 Pro next week. The OPPO Reno7 SE might arrive later.

The OPPO Reno7 series brings a new design to the lineup. But the specs are somewhat the same, except for the cameras. The Pro model, for instance, sports a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary sensor and a customized 32MP Sony IMX709 selfie camera.

In our review of OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G, we found the performance of the camera system to be not so impressive. But the one on the OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G is actually better. You can learn more about the phone in our review.

The post OPPO Reno7 series India launch date officially revealed appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last year, Oppo officially launched the Reno7 series in China. And now, the series is set to arrive in India but the launch date for the series is unknown. However, today, a tipster has revealed that the series could be unveiled in India on February 4. Additionally, Oppo’s micro-site for the Reno7 hints at the same.

According to the tipster Paras Guglani, the Oppo Reno7 series will launch on February 4 in India. The company is said to launch both the Reno7 and Reno7 Pro in India in the mid-range segment. In addition to this, the landing page for the Reno7 phones on the Oppo India website has an ongoing ‘Early Bird’, sort of a lucky draw. This lucky draw will end on February 4, which again, hints at a February 4 launch.

Although these are just speculations and rumors, we can expect the phone to launch on either February 4 or February 5 in India. Also, those who participate in the lucky draw activity will be able to get the phone from the store starting from February 5(via).

Guglani reveals that the normal sale would begin from February 8 in India.

Coming to the specs, the Oppo Reno7 series is expected to have a similar specs sheet as the variants launched in China. The Reno7 will feature a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel with a 90Hz refresh rate, while the Reno7 Pro is expected to feature a 6.55-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with the same 90Hz refresh rate.

The vanilla model will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G, whereas, the Pro will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC. Both phones are expected to have a 32MPselfie snapper. At the rear, the vanilla will have a 64MP triple camera system and there will be a 50MP triple camera setup on the Pro model.

Oppo has officially confirmed that the Reno7 series will be launching in India soon. The lineup was first launched in China last year and included the Reno7 5G, Reno7 Pro 5G, and Reno7 SE 5G.

The Chinese smartphone maker shared the news on Twitter, and even confirmed its availability via the popular e-retailer, Flipkart. Looking at its listing on this platform, we can observe that the brand teases some of the upcoming series’ features. This includes the “World’s first Sony IMX709 Ultra Sensing Sensor” for the 32 megapixel selfie shooter. Similarly, the rear features a “Flagship Sony IMX766 Sensor,” which is a 1/1.56 inch 50 megapixel camera.

In other words, the Reno7 lineup that is launching in India is likely identical to the one launched in China last year. The tweet also labels the upcoming devices as the “Portrait Expert” and “The Most Advanced Reno Camera System Ever.” Unfortunately, Oppo refrained from revealing any other finer details like launch date or pricing and availability as of right now. Although, previous reports do hint at its possible pricing.

Reportedly, the Reno7 will be priced somewhere between 28,000 INR and 31,000 INR (roughly 376 to 416 US Dollars) while the Pro variant might be launched for around 41,000 INR to 43,000 INR (roughly 550 to 580 US Dollars). Keep in mind that this is still an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt for now, and stay tuned for more updates.

The post Oppo Reno7 & Reno7 Pro confirmed to launch in India soon appeared first on Gizmochina.

The OPPO Reno7 series was tipped to launch in January in India. Now, as we have entered the said month, more details about the phone’s release in the country have emerged. Let’s check out what the new information has to say.

According to Mukul Sharma (via MySmartPrice), the OPPO Reno7 series will launch in India either at the end of January or early February. Only two models are expected, namely OPPO Reno7 and OPPO Reno7 Pro.

Apart from revealing a possible launch timeline, the tech influencer has also shared a promotional poster of the series for India. The screenshot of the OPPO Store app showcases the OPPO Reno7 Pro but doesn’t mention its name.

Going by a previous report, the OPPO Reno7 will cost between ₹28,000 and ₹31,000 in India. On the other hand, the OPPO Reno7 Pro will retail around  ₹41,000-₹43,000.

This means the handsets could be costlier than their predecessors. For the unaware, the OPPO Reno6 and the OPPO Reno6 Pro debuted at ₹29,990 and ₹39,990 respectively in India.

Anyway, we think that the smartphones will probably cost the same as their forerunners, however, we could be wrong. That’s because the newer models come with a revamped design and some changes in specs. Hence, a price bump is possible.

OPPO recently launched its Reno7 series smartphones in China and is now expected to release them in other regions. The phones are expected to get launched in the Indian market in January 2022.

In the latest development, tipster Mukul Sharma has shared that the OPPO Reno7 smartphone has been spotted on the BIS certification website for the Indian market and IMDA certification for Singapore.

As the device has now passed through the certification process, it is safe to assume that the official launch of the smartphone isn’t far away. In fact, we expect the launch to take place in a couple of weeks.

Coming to the specs, the OPPO Reno7 features a 6.43-inch Full HD+ OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G chipset and comes with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

There’s a 64MP primary camera sensor on the back, coupled with an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 2MP macro lens. On the front side, it features a 32MP snapper for taking selfies and video calling. The phone packs a 4,500mAh battery with fast charging support.

On the other hand, the OPPO Reno7 Pro features a 6.55-inch Full HD+ OLED display with a refresh rate of 90Hz. Under the hood, this one is powered by MediaTek’s flagship Dimensity 1200-Max chipset. It packs a 4,500mAh battery and supports 65W fast charging.

There’s also an ultra-dense graphite sheet paired with superconducting vacuum VC liquid cooling to keep the phone’s temperature in check. The phone also features an X-axis linear motor and dual stereo speakers.

In the camera department, there’s a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary sensor, joined by an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro camera. On the front side, the device comes with a 32MP Sony IMX709 sensor for taking selfies and video calling.

A report coming from 91Mobiles claims that the OPPO Reno7 will be priced between ₹28,000 and ₹31,000 while the Pro model will carry a price tag of ₹41,000 to ₹43,000. It seems that the OPPO Reno7 SE won’t get launched in India.

This year Xiaomi launched a new series of phones focused on design. The first model from the series is called Xiaomi Civi and it is definitely one of the most beautiful phones ever released. But the company clearly took inspiration from the latest OPPO devices in order to realize that astonishing finish for the glass back. Talking about OPPO, it just came up with another beautiful phone: the OPPO Reno7 5G, sporting a different design from its predecessor and very original design elements. Here is a comparison between two of the most beautiful phones in the whole market: the Xiaomi CIVI and the OPPO Reno7 5G

OPPO Reno7 5G vs Xiaomi CIVI

Design

Both these phones come with a stunning design: which one to choose? It is mostly a matter of taste. The finish is similar: an opaque but brilliant glass back with a great microcrystalline finish changing color depending on the light angle. The OPPO Reno7 is more compact, while the Xiaomi Civi is bigger but also thinner and lighter. With a thickness of just 7 mm and a weight of 166 grams, the Xiaomi Civi is one of the thinnest and most lightweight phones of 2021. On the other hand, the OPPO Reno7 5G sports an amazing LED ring around the camera which can light up when you receive notifications. If you are nostalgic and you miss the notification LED, you will love it.

Display

One of the most important advantages of the Xiaomi Civi over the OPPO Reno7 is the presence of a superior display. First of all, the Xiaomi Civi has a wider panel, with a diagonal of 6.55 inches (against just 6.43 inches). It is an OLED display that shows up to one billion colors, it supports Dolby Vision, the HDR10+, and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The OPPO Reno7 5G can only show 16M colors and it has a lower 90 Hz refresh rate. Further, it lacks Dolby Vision, so the image quality on streaming platforms will surely be inferior. Both the phones feature an in-display fingerprint reader, but the Xiaomi Civi is the only one with stereo speakers.

Hardware/Software

There are no significant differences between the hardware components of these two handsets, but there is one. Xiaomi Civi and OPPO Reno7 5G are powered by the Snapdragon 778G mobile platform running at a max frequency of 2.4 GHz and paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of native storage. The OPPO Reno7 5G has a slower UFS 2.1 storage, while the Xiaomi Civi has a faster UFS 2.2. native storage. Both the phones are based on Android 11, but the OPPO Reno7 5G runs ColorOS 12 out of the box with all the new features of the recently announced customization, while you do not get the MIUI 13 with the Xiaomi Civi.

Camera

The camera departments of the OPPO Reno7 5G and the Xiaomi Civi are almost the same: the phones pack a 64 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, a 2 MP macro camera, and a 32 MP selfie snapper. On the paper, the only noticeable difference between these handsets is the focal aperture: it is brighter on the OPPO Reno7 with f/1.7, which means it may be better in low light conditions.

Battery

The battery capacity of these devices is the same: 4500 mAh. But the OPPO Reno7 should be able to provide a longer battery life because its display is more efficient. The OPPO Reno7 5G also features a faster technology to charge the battery, but the difference between the twos is just 5W: the Reno7 5G has 60W fast charging, while the Xiaomi Civi has 55W.

OPPO Reno7 5G vs Xiaomi CIVI: Price

The starting price of the Xiaomi Civi roughly translates into €380/$430 at the actual change, while the OPPO Reno7 5G starts from €360/$405. Overall, these phones are not very different, if we exclude the design. The Xiaomi Civi actually comes with a better display and stereo speakers: this is very important for multimedia lovers. The OPPO Reno7 5G offers that interesting LED light on the back, but for the rest, it is very similar to the Xiaomi Civi but with an inferior display and mono speaker. Which one would you pick?

The post OPPO Reno7 vs Xiaomi Civi: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

The OPPO Reno7 series went official in China and soon it will hit the Indian market as well. It won’t come to Europe like all the odd numbers of the series (except the first generation), but there is a chance that the devices from this lineup will hit the European market in 2022 under the OPPO Find X4 series. As for now, the new series is composed of three variants: OPPO Reno7, Reno7 Pro, and Reno7 SE, one of which is a flagship, while the others are mid-rangers. This is a comparison between their specifications.

OPPO Reno7 vs OPPO Reno7 Pro vs OPPO Reno7 SE

Design

The OPPO Reno7 comes with a new design scheme: OPPO decided to ditch the curved screen on all the variants and opted for a design with a flat display and iPhone-like flat borders, just like the vanilla version of the OPPO Reno6 series. The exception is the OPPO Reno7 SE which still comes with a flat display, but it has curved borders like most of the other phones out there. The camera module has a brand new look and, on the OPPO Reno7 and the Reno7 Pro, it also comes with a LED ring for notifications and more.

Display

There are not very important differences between the displays of these phones, but the OPPO Reno7 Pro provides the best specifications on paper. The display of the OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G is not only wider, but it even provides a better image quality thanks to the HDR10+ certification enhancing the experience on streaming platforms. Further, it has a higher peak brightness with up to 920 nits. All the phones from the OPPO Reno7 series have an AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution, an in-display fingerprint reader, and a 90 Hz refresh rate, but the panels of the OPPO Reno7 and the Reno 7 SE are smaller with a diagonal of 6.43 inches.

Specs & Software

As already mentioned above, OPPO Reno7 and Reno7 SE are midrange phones, while the OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G has flagship-class hardware. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 Max mobile platform, which is an upgraded version of the DImensity 1200 providing higher performance. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. Between the OPPO Reno7 and the Reno7 SE, the former is more powerful thanks to its Snapdragon 778G mobile platform, and, unlike the latter, it offers up to 12 GB of RAM just like the Pro sibling. All the phones run ColorOS 12 out of the box, but it is still based on Android 11.

Camera

The only device from this series providing a high-end camera experience is the OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G. It is far from flagship camera phones, but it comes with a great Sony IMX766 main camera sporting a 50 MP resolution and OIS. Unfortunately, the secondary sensors are not good enough for high-end phones, so you won’t get so much versatility. The OPPO Reno7 5G comes right after with a 64 MP triple camera.

Battery

All of these phones are equipped with a 4500 mAh battery, but the OPPO Reno7 should be the one with the longest battery life because it has a smaller display than OPPO Reno7 Pro and a better production process than OPPO Reno7 SE. The OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G has the fastest charging tech with a power of 65W.

Price

OPPO Reno7 has a €380/$430 starting price, Reno7 Pro starts from €520/$589, and Reno7 SE begins at €310/$351. Each device has its pro and cons with the Reno7 being very close to the Pro variant if we exclude hardware and camera. Which one would you pick?

The post OPPO Reno7 vs Reno7 Pro vs Reno7 SE: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

OPPO held a product launch event today for multiple products including the Reno7 series, new additions to the Enco earbuds lineup, and even a smart TV. But the star of the show was obviously the Reno7 series, which has seen much hype over the past week thanks to quite a few leaks and teasers. The suspense has now been put to rest with the launch, as all details about the OPPO Reno7, Reno7 Pro, and Reno7 SE are out in the open.

First and foremost, the OPPO Reno7 series brings a refreshed design but retains the overall boxy rectangular build that was first introduced to the series with the Reno6. However, the bezels this year have been reduced significantly, so much so that the Pro variant sports a screen-to-body ratio of 92.8%.

The back panel of the series has seen upgrades too. An “aerospace-grade lithography technology” has been applied to the rear to create a fine grating texture and a meteor shower-like visual appearance.

And lastly, the Reno7 Pro comes with the much-talked-about notification light around the cameras, which quite frankly, has to be the best use of a protruding camera module. It lights up in a breathing manner for incoming calls, incoming messages, charging, and even for games.

This isn’t all the phones have to offer though, and we have listed all of their specs below.

OPPO Reno7 Pro

The OPPO Reno7 Pro is obviously the priciest among the bunch and is powered by MediaTek’s flagship Dimensity 1200-Max chip. It comes with an FHD+ 6.55-in OLED screen with a refresh rate of 90Hz. The battery of the device is sized 4500mAh which can be quickly filled up at 65W. The phone comes with a star-ring breathing light, measures 158.2 x 73.2 x 7.45mm, and weighs just 180g. To keep heat under control, there’s an ultra-dense graphite sheet paired with superconducting vacuum VC liquid cooling. The phone also features an X-axis linear motor and dual stereo speakers.

But perhaps the greatest highlight of the device are the cameras. A flagship-level 50MP f/1.8 Sony IMX766 sensor has been used for the primary lens which OPPO says has ‘omnidirectional focusing’. It is joined by 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP macro cameras.

On the front, the OPPO Reno7 Pro debuts the 32MP IMX709 sensor – a “super-sensitive cat-eye lens jointly developed with Sony.” This one comes with multiple advanced features and should offer better low-light performance while greatly reducing noise.

Following is its pricing:

• 8GB+256GB – 3699 Yuan (~$579)
• 12GB+256GB – 3999 Yuan (~$626)

OPPO Reno7

The OPPO Reno7 is powered by the Snapdragon 778G mobile platform and offers 8+128/8+256/12+256 RAM and storage variants. It has an FHD+ 6.43-in OLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate. Its front camera uses the 32MP IMX709 (f/2.4, RGBW) sensor as well, while the back is made up of a 64MP main camera (f/1.7) + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP macro lens setup. The phone packs a 4500mAh battery, weighs 185g, and measures 156.8 x 72.1 x 7.59mm. Like the Pro, it also comes with advanced heat dissipation features.

Following is its pricing:

• 8GB+128GB – 2699 Yuan (~$422)
• 8GB+256GB – 2999 Yuan (~$469)
• 12GB+256GB – 3299 Yuan (~$516)

OPPO Reno7 SE

The OPPO Reno7 SE is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 900 chip and uses a 90Hz 6.43-inch OLED screen. Its rear camera module comprises 48MP (IMX581) primary + 2MP macro + 2MP portrait sensors. The device measures 160.2 x 73.2 x 7.45mm and weighs 171g.

Following is its pricing:

• 8GB+128GB – 2199 Yuan (~$344)
• 8GB+256GB – 2399 Yuan (~$375)

The Reno7 series boots into ColorOS 12 based on Android 11. The three devices have only been launched in China as of now but a global release shouldn’t be too far off.

OPPO has been working on its next-generation Reno-series smartphones, which have been leaked quite a few times in the past. Now, the Chinese company has officially confirmed that the Reno7 series smartphones will be launched in China on 25th November.

Unlike its predecessors, there won’t be a Pro+ model which seems to have been replaced by the Reno7 SE. If this turns out to be true, then we will be getting the Reno7 SE, Reno7, and Reno7 Pro smartphones later this week.

Based on the leaks and rumors so far, the Reno7 SE is expected to feature a 6.43-inch E3 AMOLED Full-HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate. It is said to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 920 chipset, coupled with 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR4x RAM, 128GB or 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage.

It will have a triple-camera setup that includes a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64B primary sensor, an 8-megapixel Sony IMX355 sensor, and a 2-megapixel portrait lens. On the front side, there will be a 32-megapixel Sony IMX615 snapper. The device is said to be powered by a 4,300mAh battery with 65W fast charging support.

The OPPO Reno7 will be featuring a 6.5-inch OLED FHD+ 90Hz screen and pack MediaTek’s Dimensity 1200 chipset. It will also have 8/12 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128/256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It will be powered by a 4,500mAh battery that supports 65W fast charging.

In the camera department, the phone will have a triple-camera setup on the back, consisting of a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 sensor, a 16-megapixel Sony IMX481 ultrawide lens, and a 2-megapixel portrait lens. On the front side, the device features a 32-megapixel Sony IMX615 snapper for taking selfies and video calling.

On the other hand, the Reno7 Pro is said to have a 6.5-inch curved edge OLED display, offering Full HD+ screen resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It is expected to come equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC, 8/12 GB LPDDR5 RAM, 256/512 GB UFS 3.1 storage, and a 4,500mAh battery that supports 65W fast charging.

In the photography department, it will feature a 32-megapixel Sony IMX615 front-facing snapper for taking selfies and video calling. The device will have a triple-camera setup on the back, consisting of a 50-megapixel Samsung GN5 sensor, a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64B ultrawide lens, and a 13-megapixel Samsung S5K3M5 telephoto lens.

While the OPPO Reno7 series smartphones are getting launched in China this week, reports indicate that two models of the lineup — Reno7 and Reno7 Pro will get launched in the Indian market early next year, in the month of January.

After the live images of the OPPO Reno7 Pro were leaked on Weibo in a now-deleted post, more leaks have surfaced from an industry source about the upcoming launch.

The leaks stating a January launch of the OPPO Reno7 lineup were provided via 91mobiles. The leaker states that two models, the Reno7 and Reno7 Pro, will definitely launch in India in January, while no news has surfaced of the Reno7 Pro Plus or the Reno7 SE launch in the country. If the leaks turn out to be accurate, the Reno7 series can be expected to launch in China by December.

While we wait for more information on the smartphones, here are the leaked and rumored specs concerning the Reno7 and Reno7 pro.

OPPO Reno7 Pro rumored specs

Yesterday’s leak (11th November 2020) revealed live images of the OPPO Reno7 Pro’s which has a punch-hole cutout placed in the upper-left corner and the device also has an extremely thin chin. The tipster also revealed some key specs like a 90Hz display and Snapdragon 778G SoC which was in contrast to the previous rumors hinting at a Snapdragon 888.

OPPO introduced the Pro+ model in the Reno lineup with the 5th generation. The first device was called OPPO Reno5 Pro+, which was later followed by OPPO Reno6 Pro+. Now, according to a reliable leaker, there may not be an OPPO Reno7 Pro+.

We have been hearing about the OPPO Reno7 series for the past few days from the same source – Digital Chat Station. The tipster now suggests that the 7th gen Reno family may not include a Pro+ model.

The leaker says that the prototypes of vanilla and Pro variants are much better than their predecessor. They have improvements in both display and camera departments.

Above all, he hasn’t heard about the Pro+ variant yet. Hence, he thinks that OPPO Reno7 Pro+ may not exist after all.

Anyway, we would advise you to consider this information with a pinch of salt. That’s because we are still days away from the launch of the OPPO Reno7 series.

As per previous leaks, the regular OPPO Reno7 will be similar to its predecessor in terms of design with a metal frame and a punch-hole at the top left corner of the screen. It will feature a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary sensor that measures 1/1.56” in size and a notification LED ring around the camera.

Lastly, an unreliable source tipped that OPPO Reno7, OPPO Reno7 Pro, and OPPO Reno7 Pro+ will be powered by MediaTek Dimensity 920, MediaTek Dimensity 1200, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 respectively.

OPPO is working on its next-generation Reno7 series smartphones which are expected to get launched in China next month. While not much is known about the upcoming phones, details have now started surfacing online.

After details about the camera sensor got leaked online, a new report now reveals the processors powering the upcoming phones. According to a Chinese tipster, the OPPO Reno7 series smartphones will come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 920, Dimensity 1200, and Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipsets.

It is safe to assume that the standard OPPO Reno7 will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 920 chipset while the Pro model will come packed with the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC. The top-end model, Reno7 Pro+ will have Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset and not the Snapdragon 888+ that we expected.

Apart from the chipsets powering the phones, nothing much is known about the devices. But we expect the top-end variant to come packed with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB or 512GB of internal storage.

Recently, it was revealed that the OPPO Reno7 series will use large-sized camera sensors. and the report further says that the standard Reno7 will have a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 primary sensor, which measures 1/1.56” in size.

Prior to that, it was revealed that the upcoming Reno-series flagship smartphones from OPPO will come with a metal frame and a punch-hole at the top left corner, similar to the design of its predecessor.

The OPPO Reno7 with model number PFDM00 has recently been approved by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (CMIIT). This indicates that the phone’s launch isn’t far away. If that’s the case, then we expect the Chinese brand to announce a launch event in the coming days.

At the end of September, details about OPPO Reno7 series emerged from a reliable source. A few days later, the same source has shed some details on the devices’ camera system. Let’s take a look  at what the tipster has to say.

Digital Chat Station was the leaker who shared some information about the upcoming OPPO Reno7 series. Today, the tipster is back again with more details.

According to him, the OPPO Reno7 series will use large-sized camera sensors. He specifically mentions that the vanilla OPPO Reno 7 will come equipped with a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary sensor, which measures 1/1.56” in size.

For those unaware, the current-gen OPPO Reno6 (review) as well as OPPO Reno6 Pro (review) sport an inferior 64MP OmniVision OV64B main sensor, which has a smaller size of 1/2″. We were unsatisfied with the camera performance on these two phones. Hopefully, the new improved sensors on the next-gen bring improvements.

Previously, the leaker revealed that the standard OPPO Reno7 will feature a metal frame and a punch-hole at the top left corner like its predecessor. He also mentioned that it will have a triple camera setup and a notification LED ring.

Last but not least, as per Digital Chat Station, the OPPO Reno7 will compete with yet-to-release vivo S12.

OPPO Reno6 series has just made its way to some markets lately since its initial debut in China earlier this year. But it appears the company is already gearing up to launch the OPPO Reno7 series very soon. A popular leaker has now revealed some details about the upcoming lineup.

According to a now-deleted post by Digital Chat Station on Weibo, OPPO will be soon launching the OPPO Reno7 series in China. Its primary competitor will be the upcoming vivo S12 series. This means vivo will be skipping the S11 branding and jump to S12 from the current-gen S10.

That said, the tipster has only disclosed information about the vanilla OPPO Reno7. As per him, this smartphone will feature a similar front design as its predecessor OPPO Reno6. In other words, the flat display on it will have a punch-hole at the top left corner. Additionally, the bottom bezel will be thinner than the older model.

Further, he says that the phone will have a metal frame. It will house a triple camera setup on the rear and there will be improvements in their performance. Lastly, one of these cameras will sport an LED notification ring.

We expect to learn more about the OPPO Reno7 series in the coming days. The forthcoming handsets will likely use different chipsets like their predecessors.
