Oppo Reno7 Z 5G - simplifications that do not cause negative

The Reno line of smartphones from the Chinese company Oppo has expanded significantly over the past few years, but even its most inexpensive representatives turn out to be balanced and extremely competitive. The hero of today's review is a similar device, it is incredibly difficult to criticize its performance, functionality or other aspects within the price category.

Appearance novelty borrowed from more expensive models of the series. The camera block has been moved without changes, the colors of the cases will be familiar to fans of the corporation. The 6.43-inch AMOLED screen does not disappoint with the size of the frames, but the plastic edging is quickly covered with scratches, unlike the metal one. It's good that at least the glass back panel has not disappeared from the phablet. The brightness and contrast of the AMOLED display are almost flagship, and the resolution ( 2400 x 1080 pixels) did not disappoint. But the refresh rate of the picture was left at 60 hertz, which causes slight bewilderment. But the optical under-screen fingerprint scanner accurately works out about 9 touches out of 10. The oleophobic layer and low values of the PWM effect, harmful to eyesight, close the list of advantages of the AMOLED panel.

The specs are definitely not top-notch, but with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 CPU, 6GB / 8GB RAM , and an Adreno 619 graphics accelerator, it's possible to immerse yourself in the world of Android games that are as beautiful as they are resource-intensive. Even Fortnite almost does not upset with lags thanks to the applied chipset. Energy efficiency has not become a weak point of the processor. The 4500mAh battery stably demonstrates about 8-9 hours of screen time. Fast charging at 33W is far from an extra feature of the installed battery. Of course, an Android smartphone of the middle price segment is not deprived of 128 / 256GB of ROM , so it was decided not to install a microSD card slot.

64- and 2-megapixel cameras are the most simplified device option. Electronic stabilization has a negative effect on shooting in poor lighting conditions. One frame will be corrupted by noise, the other by blur. On the other hand, this criticism does not apply to daytime photographs, pleasing with both detail and color reproduction. Contactless NFC payments and support for 5G frequencies are preserved, but stereo sound had to be sacrificed to reduce costs. But minor shortcomings do not spoil the impression of a technologically advanced and functional device that does not require huge expenses.
