There’s a new SoC in the Oppo Reno 7 Pro, the Dimensity 1200-Max from MediaTek. This is basically a standard Dimensity 1200 SoC with two special optimisations made for the Reno 7 Pro: AI Deblur, which is said to improve the quality of selfies, and AI-PQ, which is said to induce an HDR-like effect in regular videos. There doesn’t seem to be any performance benefit with this ‘Max’ version of the SoC, so for all other tasks, it should be business as usual. The 12GB of RAM can be expanded by allocating 7GB of storage, if you use the RAM expansion feature in ColorOS.
Camera Specification
The cameras on the Oppo Reno 7 Pro have been updated from those of the previous model. The 32-megapixel selfie camera now uses a new Sony IMX709 sensor, which has a RGBW pixel layout for better light sensitivity and also supports DOL-HDR. It doesn’t have autofocus, the aperture is not very wide at f/2.4, and video recording is limited to 1080p. The second upgrade is to the primary rear camera, which now has a Sony IMX766 sensor. This seems to a very popular sensor this year, and we recently saw it in the OnePlus 9RT too. However, Oppo hasn’t implemented optical stabilisation, which is disappointing. This phone also has an 8-megapixel ultra-wide and a 2-megapixel macro camera.
What is Google Camera (Gcam)
If you’re a mobile photography lover then you should know about the GCam app. But if you don’t know, then the Google Camera app offers plenty of useful features like Portrait mode, AR Stickers, Google Lens suggestion, PhotoSphere, Lens Blur, Night Sight, HDR+ enhanced, RAW image support, and more. All of these features can also be found on other stock camera apps but they can’t be so effective when it comes to the performance.
The Google Camera app simply delivers the best in the class image and video quality even in low lighting conditions. The portrait mode, saturation level, brightness level, exposure, dynamic range, background blur effect with nice edge detection, etc are properly maintained on the images taken from the GCam app. Form the very first use, you can start noticing the difference.
