OPPO today officially announced that it will launch its much-awaited Reno7 series in India on February 4, 2022. The series includes two devices – Reno7 Pro 5G and Reno7 5G and comes with an OPPO Glow design that incorporates aircraft-grade Laser Direct Imaging (LDI) technology. Both devices feature OPPO’s exclusive OPPO Glow design wherein the glass back cover of the phone achieves two seemingly paradoxical properties – Matte texture and a shiny appearance.
The LDI technology is mostly used in the design of PCBs in the aviation industry. Now the same technology has been repurposed to etch fine textures as small as 20 microns in size onto the photoresist-coated AG glass back cover of the Reno7 series. Each device’s back features a total of 1.2 million micro-etchings that create the illusion of thousands of stars complete with long tails of light shining across the sky. These micron-scale etchings give the device a matte in-hand feel and brushed finish. These devices also come with fingerprint and stain-resistance properties.
The Reno7 Pro flaunts a flat-edge design to make it easier to hold & operate and is made up of a lightweight and durable aluminum middle frame for more durability. The device features a 2.5D, 6.55-inch OLED display that adopts the narrowest bezel packaging process in the history of Reno. According to OPPO, the Reno7 Pro is 11.5% thinner than last gen’s Reno with a 92.8% ultra-large screen-to-body ratio. It is also the slimmest Reno ever and weighs just 180gm.
The Reno7 Pro even boasts a Twin Moon Camera design at the rear wherein the upper half of the camera module is decorated with metal and the lower half is coated with ceramic to provide a contrasting but premium appearance. The Reno7 Pro even uses first-of-its-kind 3D “breathing” lights around the camera module. Here, a 1mm diameter fiber is bent to frame the camera area and emit soft, pulsating lights whenever the phone receives a call, message, or during charging.
OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G and Reno7 5G will be available in two colors – Startails Blue and Starlight Black will be launching in India on 4th Feb 2022 at an Online launch event. OPPO Reno7 Pro is also the first smartphone in India to features an OPPO-exclusive Sony IMX709 Sensor. Check out more details here. Stay tuned for more updates.
