Sony IMX709 and Microlens

One of the selling points offered by the Reno 7 lies in the camera aspect. This phone has a 32 MP selfie camera that is supported by the Sony IMX709 RGBW sensor designed by Oppo and manufactured by Sony.

Compared to standard RGB sensors, the IMX709 sensor embedded in the Reno7 selfie camera is claimed to be able to capture 60 percent more light while reducing noise by up to 35 percent.

Design

Another advantage can be found in the design aspect. Oppo Reno 7 is designed with Fiberglass-Leather Design, a material that is able to give a texture like a layer of lychee grains.

This is able to give the impression that it resembles skin when the user holds the back of the phone, so it will feel more textured than the Reno7 5G or Reno7 Z 5G.

Hardware

Between the two, the hardware aspect of the Reno 7 Z 5G is superior, because this phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chipset, which is built on the 6 nm architecture.
