The company just officially launched new entries in their Reno7 line of smartphones, as announced in a press release. These 5G-enabled phones are stacked with aesthetic flourishes that separate them from competitors. First of all, the company used a proprietary chemical etching and acid-washing process to create a frosted-glass exterior that they say was inspired by “crystals and snowflakes.” In addition to a unique look, Oppo says this process gives the back of the phone a tactile feel that improves grip. That’s not all. The company used the same laser imaging technology technique used with semiconductor fabrication to create a star-trail pattern on the rear of the smartphone. The end result: a visual illusion of shooting stars cascading along the device before fading to black. Other aspects of the exterior feature wear-resistant coated ceramic and metal, adding even more visual pizzaz. The phone’s body has a thickness of 7.8mm, and the edges are smooth and rounded. Of course, modern smartphones are about much more than looks, and the Reno7 line boasts a competitive set of features. There’s a 4500mAh battery that should last a full day of regular use and a whopping four cameras. There’s a 32MP front-facing camera for selfies, a 50MP main camera with a color temperature sensor, a 2 MP macro camera, and an 8MP camera exclusively for ultra-wide shots. These new Oppo Reno7 phones are only available for purchase in several Middle East countries, for now, with a worldwide launch coming later at an unannounced date.
