Oppo’s new Find X7 Ultra is the primary Ultra telephone in its premium Find X collection. The telephone, unveiled at present, is the head of what Oppo has to supply on a smartphone in 2024.
The Find X7 Ultra has a pointy and shiny 6.8-inch show (2,560×1,440 pixels, 1,600 nits) and runs on the newest Qualcomm processor (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3). It’s powered by a 5,000-mAh battery complemented by 100-watt wired ultrafast charging and 50-watt wi-fi charging.
This telephone is actually all about its 5 cameras, and Oppo’s leaned into that with the telephone’s imposing digicam bump. Four of the cameras are on the again, of which two are periscope-style telephoto cameras backed by massive Sony sensors and improved computational pictures chops. The Galaxy S23 Ultra, which boasts Samsung’s most superior digicam module, has a single telephoto lens, but it is able to additional zoom with 10x.
Oppo says these cameras bridge the “zoom hole between optical focal lengths like by no means earlier than on a smartphone” as a result of it has an equal focal size of 14 to 135 mm. The remaining two cameras are a 50-megapixel ultrawide digicam and a 50-megapixel major digicam. Oppo can be enjoying up its Hypertone Image Engine, which it says rectifies typical points that may come up from computational pictures corresponding to oversharpening and overexposure amongst others.
Oppo despatched me a Find X7 Ultra telephone in blue to check forward of at present’s launch. I solely managed to spend 45 minutes or so testing it out, and I spent most of that point taking photos. During that restricted testing time, I appreciated the flexibility of the digicam setup in addition to the zoom continuity that it provides.
The telephone permits you to set your personal grasp picture model and tune the digicam to take photographs in that model, though I wasn’t capable of attempt that myself. Basically, you’ll be able to customise photographs by setting parameters like distinction, sharpness and saturation and saving these settings to profiles.
The Find X7 Ultra is available in three completely different colours.
I additionally appreciated the Find X7 Pro’s display screen and slick design. The Find X7 Ultra evolves the design language of the Find X6 Pro and is available in black, brown and darkish blue, the latter of which have a two-tone design. New to the X collection is an alert slider, a {hardware} swap popularized by OnePlus (a subsidiary of Oppo) on its telephones that makes it simple to toggle between ring, silent and vibrate modes.
However, Oppo has reserved the Find X7 Ultra for a launch in its native China solely. The firm says there are not any present plans for a world launch. Pricing data wasn’t out there both on the time of writing, but I’d anticipate it to be within the vary of the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s value.
Find X7 Ultra’s rear cameras
The Find X7 Ultra is probably the one commercially out there telephone to supply two periscope-style telephoto lenses. The twin lens configuration features a 65mm portrait focal size with 3x optical zoom and a 135mm close-up focal size with 6x optical zoom and 120x digital zoom. The major 50-megapixel vast digicam makes use of Sony’s LYT-900, a one-inch sort sensor that guarantees to be extra energy environment friendly than its predecessor and seize a lot of particulars. The 50-megapixel ultrawide digicam is a Sony LYT-600 sensor, which Oppo says is right for both macro pictures or capturing expansive scenes, irrespective of the time of day.
Together with the principle and ultrawide digicam, it made for a pleasant versatile setup. I introduced the telephone to an ATP tennis event in Hong Kong. It was simple to get photographs of the complete stadium after which get close-ups of the tennis gamers means down on the courts because of all that zoom energy (as much as 120x).
