Conclusion

Oppo Reno 7 Pro 5G is the second phone we tested based on the Mediatek Dimensity 1200. Processor wise, this mid ranger is quite responsive and is on par with the Mi 10T Pro that is my daily driver. The 90 Hz screen is also fluid. Most importantly, the temperature seems way cooler than the equivalent Snapdragon. It is usually just over 40 deg C even under heavy game load. In fact, what I would say it is an upgraded Reno 6 Pro.

I like the colour design of this phone. It looks outstanding under any light source. I like the slim design. Although the sensor look big, but it blends well with the gradient blue colour.

The back camera takes impressive takes surprising good pictures even in dark environment. In fact it is comparable to the old Pixel 3 XL I used before. Digital zoom unfortunately at the max 20X is fuzzy and I would recommend at maxmum of 10X for digital zoom. Videos in 4K would be enhanced if there is OIS. The HD videos are stable with it’s Ultra Steady mode turn on during filming.

If you recall, the Reno 6 Pro was certified to work on Singtel 5G SA only but not on the other telcos. As I have a M1 5G SIM card, I was pleasantly suprised that 5G SA works on the M1 network. So, if you do intend to try out 5G network with M1 SIM only 5G (non contract), the Reno 7 Pro 5G will work out of the box.

In Conclusion, I think Oppo Reno 7 Pro 5G is a good daily worker be it in shooting short vidoes, pictures. Download at amazing speeds with 5G too.
