Oppo Reno7 5G/Find X5 Lite review Introduction.
Oppo is launching Reno7 5G in Europe and India under two names. The Reno 7 5G is being launched in India (and possibly parts of Eastern Europe), with the rest of Europe getting it as the Find X5 Lite. The two models are identical in specs as you can see.
We don't pretend we can make any money from Oppo's Reno7 Midrange series, but we can review them just as they were made official - in a certain order. So, today we have probably the most interesting specimen of the Reno7 bunch - the Oppo Reno7 5G.
The Reno7 5G is not just a 5G-enabled version of the global Reno7 smartphone because it has a different camera setup, different chipsets, different charging speeds, and even different storage.
Oppo Reno7 5G / Find X5 Lite is a very attractive offer. This lightweight plastic phone is built around a 6.43-inch AMOLED with 1080p resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, and HDR10 support. Below the density 900 5G chipset, which will work great for casual gaming and smooth overall performance.
The camera setup is well known because it has become a bit of a golden standard for midrange. Includes a high-resolution 64MP primary camera, an 8MP ultraviolet shooter, and a 2MP imager for closeup. On the other hand, in a small hole in the display, is a 32MP selfie camera.
Reno7 5G / Find X5 Lite is powered by a 4,500mAh battery that supports 65W VOOC charging. The power adapter is bundled with the phone and it should be fully charged within half an hour. You bet we'll check it out.
The Oppo Reno7 5G / Find X5 Lite advertises for gaming-friendly chipsets with camera skills and portrait capabilities, fast charging, and adequate cooling. And it is actually a palm- and pocket-friendly device that is 160 mm long and weighs 173 grams.
If you are familiar with the Oppo Reno6 5G you may notice that this Reno7 5G is an almost identical
phone with updated storage, increased battery capacity, HDR10 screen certification, and an audio jack. The lack of understandable upgrades is a bit of a theme in 2022, actually quite common. So, Reno6 5G users are definitely avoiding it.
Let's scroll through its specs sheet now.

The Reno7 5G has one thing that has been downgraded since the Reno6 5G - the frame. It is now made of plastic, one step below the metal of the Reno6.
Still, the Reno7 5G looks like an adequate all-around midrange - it even covers niche fan-favorite options like an audio jack, a tri-card slot with microSD expansion, and NFC. In fact, the only obvious exclusion is the lack of any entry protection. But with the right price, it shouldn't be a problem.
