OPPO has recently introduced the OPPO Find X7 Ultra, a smartphone that claims to be the ultimate camera phone in the market. This device combines advanced camera hardware breakthroughs, OPPO’s HyperTone camera system, and state-of-the-art computational photography, all within a sleek design. Let’s delve into the details of what this device has to offer.
Design & Display
The Oppo Find X7 Ultra closely resembles the Find X7, featuring a large circular camera module on the back with four cutouts and Hasselblad branding. The frame is constructed from metal, with the volume rocker and power button located on the right side, and a three-stage alert slider on the left. The Find X7 Ultra boasts a sophisticated two-tone design, available in Ocean Blue, Sepia Brown, and Tailored Black. All three color options come with a premium vegan leather finish.
On the front, the device sports a vibrant 6.82-inch QHD+ curved screen with LTPO technology. This ensures smooth visuals and high quality, with a brightness of up to 1600 nits for easy outdoor viewing. The display also features 2160Hz PWM dimming and a variable refresh rate ranging from 1 to 120Hz. ProXDR technology enhances the dynamic range, making HDR photos stand out. Additionally, it has a centered punch-hole housing the front camera and an in-display fingerprint scanner.
Camera System
The standout feature of the Find X7 Ultra is its HyperTone Camera System, which includes a Quad Main Camera setup with a HyperTone Image Engine. It comprises four 50MP cameras with large sensors, including two periscope zoom cameras that bridge the gap between optical focal lengths. The primary camera, equipped with a second-gen Sony LYT-900 1-inch sensor, captures detailed stills with a custom f/1.8 aperture lens and optical image stabilization (OIS). The ultra-wide camera, powered by a 50MP Sony LYT-600 sensor, excels in macro photography and capturing expansive scenery.
The Find X7 Ultra also features dual periscope cameras. The 3x periscope zoom camera utilizes a 50MP Sony IMX890 sensor, enabling creative freedom with a near-focus distance of 25cm. Moreover, the 6x periscope telephoto camera, equipped with a large 50MP Sony IMX858 sensor, excels in capturing abundant detail for both landscape shots and telemacro photography.
The device introduces four key camera breakthroughs:
- HyperTone Image Engine: OPPO’s HyperTone Image Engine ensures natural-looking photos without compromising quality, even with the advancements of computational photography.
- Uninterrupted Zoom: The Find X7 Ultra covers the complete zoom range from 14mm to 270mm, allowing users to seamlessly capture quality photos across the entire spectrum.
- Hasselblad Portrait Mode: In collaboration with Hasselblad, OPPO introduces a Portrait Mode that captures at four focal lengths, producing cinematic bokeh with ultimate accuracy.
- Hasselblad Master Mode: Master Mode brings pro-grade photography to smartphones by offering advanced controls and unlocking unique looks for shots.
