There are two aspects that immediately stand out when it comes to OPPO’s brand new Reno7 Z 5G: its Portrait Camera System and its stunning design. Following the footsteps of its predecessors in the Reno Series, the Reno7 Z 5G, priced at P19,999, boasts incredible shooting capabilities with a much more refined camera and with many exciting features at your disposal. Its great camera and trendy design are paired with both powerful performance and an efficient ColorOS 12 to truly give users that Reno experience.
Design:
Available in two colors, Rainbow Spectrum and Cosmic Black, both of which are seemingly polar opposites yet share similar traits; the former is very vibrant and eye-catching, while the latter looks somber and unembellished. Despite its apparent differences hue-wise, both designs are built on a three-layer texture of scattering grain, SG grain matte grain that subtly give off a glossy appearance.
Further adding to the Rainbow Spectrum’s flamboyance is a two-layer coating composed of a number of colors and reflective indium. These ultimately create a hypnotic and mesmerizing iridescent and prismatic effect, as if serving as its own fashion statement.
The Reno7 Z 5G also sports an Ultra-Slim Retro Design that gives it a very sleek and long appearance, making it very smooth and pleasant whether held in your hand or inside your pocket.
If you thought that the device’s multi-layered coatings are the only striking characteristics equipped by OPPO, then think again. The industry-first Dual Orbit Lights, placed discreetly behind each primary camera in lieu of the traditional camera decorative base, create an otherworldly aura that perfectly compliments the overall flashiness of the phone. The lights, which illuminate uniformly in intensity and chromaticity, react dependent on the current situation or activity, such as when booting up, charging, receiving notifications or playing games, to name a few.
Display:
With a very respectable 6.4” AMOLED FHD+ display with a 90.8% screen-to-body ratio, the Reno7 Z 5G possesses a screen capable enough to support immersive and high-quality displays. Accompanying these is a 60Hz refresh rate to allow the general smoothness in operation whether capturing photos, playing games or multitasking.
Moreover, the Reno7 Z 5G is also compatible with both Amazon Prime Video HD as well as Netflix HD to deliver an even better entertainment experience, which is quite the treat if you’re the type to binge-watch your favorite K-Dramas on your mobile device.
Camera:
One of, if not the most enticing aspect of the Reno7 Z 5G is its Portrait Camera System that consists of a 64MP main camera, 2MP depth camera, 2MP macro camera and a 16MP front camera.
More than having an upgraded camera system, there are a multitude of powerful and creative portrait features to go alongside it. From its DSLR-esque Bokeh Flare Portrait, Selfie HDR that impressively captures many details despite dimly lit backdrops, Portrait Retouching to give you that “glow”, AI Color Portrait that helps in putting more emphasis on the subject, AI Palettes that add different types of aesthetics, as well as Dual Video recording, to name a few, there are seemingly endless features to capture great details in a variety of situations.
The best part about it all? The Reno7 Z 5G’s great photo qualities and extensive features truly give you a platform to let your creative and expressive self out. In a simple setting just lounging with friends, there were many instances for all of us to each explore and enjoy the many fun aspects offered. What more on a daily basis?
Performance:
Powered by a Snapdragon 695 5G Mobile Platform that’s built on a 6nm process, the Reno7 Z 5G performance runs efficiently and can facilitate a number of strenuous activities like multiple apps in operation simultaneously, intense gaming and graphics rendering. Especially with 8GB of ROM, 128 GB of RAM and an additional 5GB of ROM due to OPPO’s Expansion technology, the device can seamlessly run multiple memory-heavy apps without experiencing much lag.
The Reno7 Z 5G’s ColorOS 12 offers the users a more personalized, expressive and intimate experience; its Omojis allow you to create your own avatar, Air Gestures allow the mere wave of your hand to trigger certain functions, Anti-Peeping for added security authentication and O Relax to help give your “chill pill” when needed
Furthermore, there are also a number of features present to help in bettering overall gameplay, from its AI System Booster to help allow the apps run smoothly, Quick Startup to conveniently keep your most frequented apps accessible, AI Frame Rate Stabilizer to ensure smooth gameplay, and Self-Developed Game Focus Mode to help keep your head in the game and keep out non-essential notifications and potential distractions.
Battery:
At 4500mAh, the Reno7 Z 5G has a relatively large battery capacity, perfect to support the many arduous activities this device can conquer. Even with many apps running simultaneously and for an extensive period of time, the battery isn’t drained at an alarming rate, ultimately allowing you to play more and worry less.
Even once reaching low levels of battery, recharging shouldn’t be a problem as OPPO’s 33W SUPERVOOC allows the smartphone to be fully charged in astonishingly just over an hour!
Verdict:
From its excellent Portrait Camera System to capture life’s details, striking design that aptly reflects the device’s vibrance, and Snapdragon 695 processor that gives you much more power and capabilities in your hands, the Reno7 Z 5G is the device to behold for the outgoing, creative and adventurous.
