At first glance, losing the “Lite” surname has given the Reno7 wings to go further!It no longer feels so fair at the level of specifications and includes flirtatious details such as orbital light microphotography, ultra-thin design, 33W Supervooc fast charge and performance that promises not to leave the mid-range user stranded on the market.The exterior is beautiful and the special cover of the Reno7 prevents the smartphone from being damaged just by looking at it, as happens with some smartphones of other brands.Now, this does not mean that it is indestructible, far from it, but, as far as possible, it supports occasional contact with other objects that can be in the same pocket, suitcase, bag or the like.Despite that, I personally recommend using it with the protector included in the box to try to preserve the investment a little more over time.It weighs only 175 g and has very manageable dimensions, which makes it quite easy to carry and handle (even for people with small hands like mine).The 6.8” AMOLED FHD+ screen is beautiful, it is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5, it expresses colors well and with its 90 Hz rate it offers a good pleasant experience for the common user, although it is possible that some gamers die-hards feel that they fall short for graphics-intensive AAA games.At first contact the cameras included in the Reno7 do not seem anything out of the ordinary but, after exploring them for a while, things improve, thanks to the magic of the software, the options tend to be more varied than they initially appear.The portrait not only promises at the level of the Bokeh effect, but is also capable of handling backlight to a great extent, which is generally the nightmare of mid-range mobiles.A post shared by Pipeliz Tech (@pipe93s)32 MP selfies generate very interesting results, even if the model is not the most attractive or photogenic like me but, it is what it is… haha.Although at night and indoors (with a high level of darkness) it does not have the same performance as a high-end smartphone, the Reno7, it achieves quite decent results even with difficult geometries.Lamps shot indoors zoomed in on the Reno7Another option that seems more like a "gimmick" than a useful function, is the microscope that, although it will not have the scope of one of these devices at a professional level, with good lighting, patience, a lot of pulse and some luck , it will be possible to achieve interesting results by observing that much so small that it often goes unnoticed without having the 15X or 30X zoom at hand!Focusing microscopic details with the OPPO Reno7As I said before, many may get bored of this function of the microscopic lens since, as can be seen in the previous image, it is not easy to focus and maintain the subject to immortalize the moment for later, but, with practice and a few good models (hopefully static), results like the ones I am going to show next can be achieved.Detail of garden weeds captured with Reno7The teeth of a zipper captured with the Reno7 -
