At an event hosted at Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, OPPO South Africa welcomed media, operators and distribution partners to extend the Reno smartphones family with the all-new OPPO Reno7 5G and Reno7 Z 5G.
The Reno7 series offers professional photography capabilities, while also bringing with it powerful hardware for the best performance and user experience. Additionally, OPPO has introduced the SuperVOOC charging technology, which fits compactly into its ultra-slim design.
A Portrait Specialist
With its enhanced imaging capabilities, and paired with the AI-enabled features, the Reno7 5G enables DSLR-like photo and video content.
The camera brings the power to users to capture new styles and vibrant personalities as they were meant to be. Users have control over depth of field and background bokeh lights in portrait images. Additionally, with its skin tone detection and an entire palette of retouching effects, you can be sure to capture the best portraits possible.
With a suite of imaging tools at your fingertips, users can maximise their content creation skills. This includes AI Highlight Video, Focus Tracking, Dual-View Video, Flash Snapshot and other features.

The Technology of Design
The new range of OPPO Reno smartphones keeps its hallmark design aesthetics. It inherits the hallmark OPPO Glow finishing technology from its predecessors. However, the design is enhanced through new features, including the industry-first application of Laser Direct Imaging (LDI) on the exterior.
OPPO South Africa has announced two colours for the Reno7 coming to the country. This includes Startrails Blue and Starry Black.
The Startrails Blue draws inspiration from the millions of meteors gliding through space, visualised on its back cover. This pattern consists of 1.2 million micro-rasters to give it its appearance. On the other hand, the Starry Black offers a classic black look, with a glittering finish. It presents an understated premium look and black-blue gradient.
Additionally, the phone sports a 6.4” AMOLED panel with a 90Hz refresh rate and 180Hz touch sampling rate for a smoother experience. It uses SGC Eye Care Display technology to reduce low-blue light to protect your eyes.
With all the technology inside, the design still boasts an impressive 7.81mm thickness and lightweight 173g body.
Powerful At Your Fingertips and Immersive Gaming
Even with its slim body, the OPPO Reno7 5G produces exceptional performance. Its specifications include a MediaTek Dimensity 900 5G SoC with Mali-G68 MC4. It also includes 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage with an additional 5GB RAM expansion.
One of the standout features is its battery technology. The smartphone includes a 4,500mAh battery, as well as a 65W SUPERVOOCTM charging capability. This allows the device to fully charge in just 35 minutes. Users will be up and running again in no time.
Bringing the best in the gaming experience, the Reno7 5G features the upgraded HyperBoost technology. It brings with it smoother gaming for a more immersive experience. The AI Frame Rate Stabiliser predicts the frame rate and temperature change of the device and compensates accordingly.
