The verdict, up front

Why pick the Reno 7 Pro?

Oppo aimed the Reno 7 Pro at influencers — the Sony IMX709 selfie sensor uses RGBW pixel layout to lift low-light selfies above what rivals could manage at the time, and the curved AMOLED plus Oppo Glow back panel make the phone hand-photogenic for the same shoots.

What works
  • Sony IMX709 selfie sensor flagship-grade
  • Curved AMOLED at sub-$600
  • 65W charging refills fast
What doesn't
  • Only 90Hz when rivals hit 120Hz
  • 8 MP ultrawide is uninspiring
  • No IP rating
