Half a year after the release of the Reno6 series, OPPO has brought a new Reno7 series these two days, just in time Love to play computer games We also got the Reno7 Pro in the past two days. Now let's get to know how good OPPO's new product has become in the past six months.

appearance

From the Reno4 series to the Reno6 series in the first half of this year, the design language is basically the same. On these models, you can see the similar camera layout, the similar back cover of the diamond process, and feel the similar grip feel, while on the Reno7 Pro, you can see very obvious changes.

The first is the super narrow frame of the front screen. With the full popularity of the full screen design in the past two years, few manufacturers have made more attempts to improve the screen share. On the Reno7 Pro, the screen has been extremely narrow in four sides, including about 1.55mm left and right black edges, 1.89mm forehead, and 2.8mm chin, Its ultra-high screen proportion combined with the design of a straight screen gives you a feeling of holding a screen in your hand.

And after seeing the curved screen design adopted by several successive generations of Reno's Pro version, this ultra narrow frame+straight screen ID design is really more fresh.

Then there is the design of the flat and straight middle frame. In fact, it has been tried on the previous generation of standard Reno6, which is also a current trend. With the matte treatment, the texture of the whole middle frame is really good. The drawback may be that the flat middle frame highlights the existence of several antenna breakpoints, which has an impact on the simplicity. In addition, holding the upper flat edge+flat backplane is certainly not as close to the palm as holding the narrow middle frame+curved back cover.

Reno7 Pro vs. Reno6 Pro

The back of the Reno7 Pro is also decorated with many new patterns. The Reno7 Pro in our hands is a "Star Rain Wish" color matching. In addition to the fact that the body will show different gradient effects from different angles, its biggest highlight is the so-called star rain lithography process used by OPPO on the back plate, Through LDI lithography technology, fine twills like meteor showers were formed on the backplane (1.2 million officially); And this generation continues to use the diamond glass backplane, maintaining the advantages of fingerprint free and delicate touch.

The camera module used to be vertically arranged with three large independent holes, but now it has become two large holes+two small holes, and the upper and lower parts are made of matte and bright materials, with two ladder designs and ceramic color plated mirror rings.

Another design highlighted by the official is the circle of "optical fiber hot bending star ring breathing lights" around the camera, which will flash all the time when there is an incoming call or message. It can only be said that the domestic mobile phones are too voluminous now, forcing the designers to come up with such ideas. Of course, from a practical point of view, such a breathing lamp design may be more suitable for users who usually like to buckle their mobile phones on the desktop.

screen

The screen of Reno7 Pro is a 6.55-inch, 2400 × 1080 resolution, 90Hz refresh rate OLED straight screen. From the "duckling" like sub-pixel arrangement, we can judge that the supplier is BOE.

The maximum manual brightness of the screen under the measured full white screen is 474 nits. At this time, the four corner brightness are 486.6/487.9/487.5/487.2 nits respectively, and the local maximum brightness is 549.3 nits; Under the full white picture, the automatic excitation brightness is 736 nits, and the local peak value is 911 nits.

The system has built-in vivid (default) and natural color modes, specifically:

Reno7 Pro Vivid Mode P3 Color Level

Reno7 Pro natural mode color accuracy

  • The color temperature of vivid mode is 7546K, covering 133.5% sRGB and 97.9% P3 gamut. The average gray scale deviation is 3.8, the average color deviation of corresponding sRGB gamut is 4.1, and the average color deviation of corresponding P3 gamut is 2.4

  • The natural mode color temperature is 7522K, covering 95.7% sRGB color gamut, the average gray scale deviation is 4, and the average color deviation under sRGB color gamut is 2.4

The performance of Reno7 Pro in color accuracy is significantly improved compared with that of Reno6 Pro, and there is no problem in the overall display quality and appearance, except that the "Little Yellow Duck" arrangement makes some text display not fine enough.

In terms of the application of high brush adaptation, I don't know whether it is because of the 90Hz refresh rate. Basically, 90Hz high brush can be opened, including video and music apps. The experience is better than some 120Hz models that lock 60 frames.

Like the previous generation products, the Reno7 Pro is also equipped with an X-axis linear motor this time, and the whole vibration feedback is also solid and powerful; It is also equipped with dual speakers. The Reno7 Pro, which is often overlooked in the front line, has not shrunk.

performance

In terms of hardware configuration, the Reno7 Pro still uses the combination of Tianji 1200 (with a suffix of Max, but there is no difference in parameters), LPDDR4x memory, and UFS 3.1 flash memory. As usual, first look at a set of theoretical performance test data:

CPU

GPU

Flash Memory

In terms of the game, we ran the League of Heroes mobile game which was officially launched some time ago:

It can be said that it is relatively easy to stabilize 60 frames in the next round with the highest picture quality. Next, Reno7 Pro will be the first to adapt to the 90 frame mobile game mode of League of Heroes. I believe that the smoothness of play can be further improved.

It is worth mentioning that the Reno7 series has also added the "Super Lightning Startup 2.0" function, which can keep the games that are often played in the background alive according to the user's usage habits. The next time the game is started, it skips loading animations to achieve seconds on. It also supports the pre update of the game. When there are incremental updates, it can be downloaded before entering the game, and you can start and play the game without waiting. Compared with the absolute hardware performance, these more detailed functions may be more sensitive to improving the gaming experience.

In August this year, OPPO held a press conference on future imaging technology, which introduced the RGBW sensor technology that can increase the light input by 60%, but it was unexpected that OPPO launched this technology on the front camera of Reno7 series so soon.

The 32 million pixel IMX709 on the Reno7 Pro is also a bit original. It is deeply customized jointly by OPPO and Sony and is permanently monopolized by OPPO. This sensor is integrated into the RGBW image fusion unit developed by OPPO. There are two white sub pixels in each group of four sub pixels, which greatly improves the amount of light input and helps improve the self portrait performance in dark light.

And this front camera also supports hardware level DOL-HDR and intelligent wide-angle switching based on the number of selfies.

The rear camera specification has also been upgraded compared with the Reno6 Pro. The main camera has changed from 64 million pixels OV64B to 50 million pixels IMX766, which is popular on high-end models this year. The ultra wide angle is still 8 million pixels.

Sample presentation:

It can be seen that with the blessing of IMX766, the Reno7 Pro has a relatively pleasant imaging performance both in the daytime and at night. The night scene mode has an immediate effect on the improvement of the overall imaging color tolerance, which generally meets our expectations for this CMOS chip.

system

Although the Find X3 Pro photographer version has been launched with ColorOS 12 for the first time, it is a limited version flagship after all. For more consumers, the Reno7 series should be regarded as the first large-scale launch of ColorOS 12 on the new OPPO.

Here are some highlights:

What attracted me on the ColorOS 12 interface was the acrylic icon. The new icon made the inner elements of acrylic translucent material texture. Compared with the original completely flat icon style, the acrylic icon was between flat and simulacrum, which was more vivid and solid. However, currently the acrylic icon only appears in the system application, and the third-party icon has not been redrawn accordingly.

The layout of many system APP pages is more focused on the primary and secondary levels of information, showing a sense of order.

First of all, the free floating window and smart sidebar 2.0 are very impressive in terms of functions.

The current application can be suspended as a floating window by continuing to slide up on the basis of the multi task of sliding up and calling out, and then click to switch to a small window. Moving to the side can minimize the form of running in the foreground. For users who need to run multiple tasks in the foreground at the same time (such as scanning the game copy while looking at other applications), the free floating window can be said to be very practical.

Smart Sidebar 2.0 expands the original one column sidebar into two columns, where you can place floating window applications, applets, translation, subtitles and other gadgets that need to be launched quickly. The system also recommends floating window gadgets that may be used according to the current application scenario.

For the majority of migrant workers, ColorOS 12 cross screen interconnection should be more practical. As long as the cross screen interconnection Windows client is installed and paired with the mobile phone, the mobile phone image can be projected to the computer. In addition to operating the mobile phone APP with the computer, the files or pictures on the mobile phone and the computer can be directly transferred across devices. Compared with the past, the steps of transferring files with data lines are simpler and more intuitive.

Finally, Omoji's virtual image, which can pinch its face or select some preset images, can also be used in video calls and video conference scenes (supporting WeChat, QQ, Nailing, Tencent Conference, ZOOM, etc.) in addition to taking facial expression packets for itself. It is an interesting little function for social terrorists.

Endurance&Charging

In terms of battery and charging, the Reno7 Pro is still the 4500mAh dual cell battery and 65W flash charge that we are very familiar with. In terms of its endurance performance, the remaining power after the 2.5-hour endurance test of the Io machine is 71%, which is above the average among the models tested this year.

In terms of charging, it is measured that the charging starts from 1%, and it takes 5 minutes to charge 22%, and 10 minutes to charge 40%. It shows that it takes 34 minutes to fully charge and about 37 minutes to cut off the charging; The actual maximum output power is about 53W, which decreases to 41W after lasting for 2 minutes. From the 7th minute to the 21st minute, it is basically stable at 33W to 35W, and then decreases step by step; The charging performance is very close to that of the previous generation Reno6 Pro.

summary

At this point in time, because the new generation of mid and high-end SoC has not yet been launched, and some big moves should also be reserved for the flagship launch of the next year, the configuration of the Reno7 Pro or the entire Reno7 series is not much different from that of the previous generation.

However, this does not mean that the Reno7 Pro is a mobile phone lacking in highlights. On the contrary, the changes and ingenuity in its overall appearance design have brought a lot of freshness to users. For mass consumer products such as mobile phones, appearance is often the first power to attract consumers to buy. This truth is not only understood by OPPO product planners, but also gradually understood by friends, In the past two years, driven by the diamond process, more and more products with similar designs have been adopted.

The IMX709 RGBW camera, which was first launched on the front of Reno7 Pro, seems to indicate that Reno series will try more innovative technologies bravely along the track of portrait video in the future. This generation has commercialized the new RGBW sensor. In the next product iteration, OPPO may see more image technology and appearance process innovations to be commercialized.

In addition to its outstanding appearance and new technology, the Reno7 Pro has also maintained a good level of performance, photography, endurance/charging. The addition of ColorOS 12 is to further improve the system experience. I believe that OPPO, a comprehensive product, will continue to deliver outstanding results in terms of sales.
