2023 can be called the "first year of telephoto" in the machine circle, after all, every manufacturer is trying to roll out its own image path on the telephoto track. OPPO is no exception, not only does the telephoto return on the Find X6 series, but also proposes the concept of "Shadow Tone" for moving images, helping users pursue the correct scene tone relationship, and ensure that their own telephoto can still produce stable films in low-light scenes. This series of operations has made the Find X6 series, especially the Pro version, receive a lot of praise.
On January 8, 2024, OPPO launched the Find X7 series, with a total of two models: Find X7 and Find X7 Ultra. This is also the first time that the Find series has appeared with the name of Ultra, and the Find X7 Ultra has pioneered the use of dual periscope lenses in hardware, and at the same time, on the basis of inheriting the correct tone concept of the Find X6 series, it further pursues delicate tone performance. In layman's terms, the Find X7 series can better record the transition between light and dark of objects in shooting, and more accurately restore the delicate light and shadow relationships in the scene.
Why adopt a double periscope
The concept of the full main camera of the Find X6 series has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and each lens is the main camera, and any one of them is very capable of playing alone. However, there is also a problem with it, when a longer focal length is required, only the cropping + algorithm can be used to make up for the lack of focal length. That's why the Find X7 Ultra has a groundbreaking dual periscope design with a quad-camera combination that covers 8 focal lengths, including a 14mm ultra-wide angle at the outsoleThe new generation of 1-inch outsole has a wide angle of 23mm, and provides native 28 and 35 focal lengths that can be set as default, and also provides a choice of 48mm focal lengths, which is 2x;, by selecting the native 12 million pixels in the middle of the one-inch wide angleIn terms of dual periscopes, the 3x periscope lens in the middle is 65mm, and the other portrait close-up periscope covers 135mm and offers a 300mm optical-quality focal length. As a result, the Find X7 Ultra fully covers a large zoom range from 14 to 300mm, which can provide a more reasonable focal length connection and a smoother zoom shooting experience, and also has a more competitive image quality performance.
A new generation of super light and shadow image engine, easy to record all scenes
In terms of software algorithms, OPPO hopes to use more calculations to optimize the effect of the finished film, but at the same time, it needs to present fewer traces of calculation in the finished film. Therefore, in addition to continuing to cooperate with Hasselblad in terms of shadow tone, Find X7 Ultra is also equipped with ultra-clear image quality algorithms, ultra-light and shadow image algorithms, and natural color algorithms. The unique instantaneous dual-frame technology allows the Find X7 Ultra to break through the traditional mobile phone camera capture and capture the frame backwards, and can lock the moment before the user clicks the shutter, more accurately freeze the moment the user wants, so that there is light and shadow at any time.
Therefore, whether it is in a well-lit room or an interior with a relatively complex light source, the Find X7 Ultra pays more attention to accurately presenting the original color of the environment and the delicate transition of light and shadow, making the finished film more three-dimensional and textured, and more Hasselblad, rather than the traditional kind of "silly white and silly bright" overall picture. As you can see from the examples, the Find X7 Ultra does a good job of rendering the low-saturation architectural colors caused by the passage of time, the orange red of the city walls at sunset, the highlights and shadows of coffee cups, and the transition between light and dark between the table and the floor stones.

Sample three. All models come standard with professional Hasselblad portraits
In terms of portraits, in fact, the normal mode of the Find X7 series is very sufficient. When Portrait mode is turned on, users can easily capture natural moments of people with the help of instantaneous dual frame technology. In addition, the progressive depth of field, which is closer to the optical lens, also makes the characters appear more three-dimensional and natural in the picture, rather than the traditional "character map" with a sense of separation from the environment.

In the environment with a large light ratio, the Find X7 series can also make the face of the subject present a very textured light and shadow transition, making the subject more three-dimensional. With a 6x zoom, it can also give the finished film a good sense of space compression.
Hasselblad Master Mode has been added
This time, the Find X7 series has replaced the original Pro mode with the master mode, and the subdivision is Auto (automatic) and Pro (pro). The professional mode is equivalent to the previous professional mode, and the difference between the automatic transmission of the master mode and the normal mode, from the intuitive look and feel of the film, the automatic transmission of the master mode will be a little darker than the ordinary mode, and the overall gray is a little grayer. However, in some special scenes or for more professional users, photography in Master Mode is more playable, and the finished film will be more "Hasselblad".

Full-range Dolby**
*The upgrade is that the Find X7 supports full-range Dolby** shooting, filling the gap of the previous Dolby** shooting experience without full focal length on Android phones. In practice, the Find X7 Ultra can freely call up four cameras for Dolby Vision shooting, from panoramas, to half-body to close-ups, and easily achieve multi-camera shooting.
A new generation of Concentric Universal design, integrating oriental aesthetics into camera lenses
This time, the Find X7 Ultra comes in three colors, namely the Sea and Sky, the Desert Silver Moon, and the Pine Shadow Ink Rhyme. Although it is equipped with double periscopes, the thickness of the fuselage has basically not changed, and the thickness of the whole machine is 95mm, weight 221g.
In terms of appearance, while continuing the design of the previous generation, it combines powerful images with oriental aesthetics to create a new generation of concentric global design with concentricity and arc. The Find X7 Ultra combines pearlescent white glass with deep blue pebbled leather, bounded by a circular arc that separates the image area from the grip area. This design not only achieves functional area differentiation, but also makes the back cover of the Find X7 Ultra more recognizable.
Transparent and eye-friendly diamond screen
The Find X7 Ultra is equipped with 682-inch super light and shadow immersive display, resolution of 3168*1440, 510ppi. It supports rain touch and up to 120Hz refresh rate, with LTPO30, which can achieve an intelligent dynamic refresh rate of 1-120Hz. After actual measurements, the maximum manual brightness of this screen is 833 nits, the global excitation brightness is about 1600 nits, and the maximum excitation brightness reaches 4500 nits.
In terms of eye protection, the Find X7 Ultra supports 3 EM Pulse+1 EM Pulse DC-like dimming and 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, which greatly improves the screen flicker problem. In addition, the Find X7 series also supports ProXDR full scene coverage, in addition to ** mode, now Master mode, Portrait mode, and XPAN mode all support Super Light and Shadow ProXDR display.
Performance
In terms of performance hardware, the Find X7 uses the Dimensity 9300, the Find X7 Ultra uses the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, and the RAM and flash memory are system-1, both LPDDR5X and UFS40。In the actual running score, due to the large storage (note: Find X7 is a 1TB version, Find X7 Ultra is a 512GB version), the Find X7 score exceeds the Find X7 Ultra, so how is the specific performance measured in our game.
First of all, 120 frames + extremely high quality "Honor of Kings", the average frame rate of Find X7 Ultra is 1202 frames, the overall frame rate curve is very smooth, it can be said that there are almost no fluctuations, close to a straight line. Even in the late game, team battles frequently broke out, the frame rate did not fluctuate, the game screen was smooth and silky, and there was a good game experience, during which the maximum temperature of the whole machine was 362℃。

Then open "Genshin Impact", which requires a higher performance, set to 60 frames + full high quality, and run the map in Sumeru City, where the rendering load is relatively large, for 30 minutes. The Find X7 Ultra's overall frame rate performance is still impressive, with an average frame rate of 595 frames, the frame rate curve is also very flat. As you can see from the frame rate curve, the place where the frame drops is relatively regular, and this place is the fishing place of Micheng Pier in the game, which should be the connection point optimization problem of the game here. The temperature of the Find X7 Ultra is not high during the running of the map, about 389℃。

Then try the game scene with a larger load, "Honkai: Star Dome Railway" Chang Rakuten, 60 frames + full picture quality, here we tested the performance of the Find X7 and Find X7 Ultra respectively. As can be seen from the frame rate graph, the performance of the Find X7 equipped with Dimensity 9300 is more rough and stable, with an average frame rate of 582 frames, while the Find X7 Ultra has a slow frame drop due to the influence of the temperature control strategy, with an average frame rate of 516 frames. Judging from the actual running map, the place that most affects the change of frame rate is still the blue finch fishing area. After 30 minutes of running without interruption, the maximum temperature of the Find X7 Ultra body is 398℃。

Endurance
The Find X7 Ultra is equipped with a large 5000mAh battery, which supports 100W wired and 50W wireless flash charging, and with the included 100W charging head, it can be charged to 61% in 15 minutes and fully charged in 32 minutes. After three hours of actual power consumption, the Find X7 Ultra finally has 49% left, which can basically say goodbye to battery life anxiety in terms of daily use.
A few small details
The Find X7 Ultra is equipped with a physical three-stage button on the left side of the screen, which allows you to switch between VIP mode, silent mode, and ring mode at the touch of a button. With the help of the Find X7 Ultra's national cryptography authentication security chip, after turning on VIP mode, users can turn off the camera, microphone, and locate sensitive permissions with one click, so that the application cannot obtain confidential information.
Summary
If the Find X6 series has changed users' shooting habits and allowed users to recognize and understand what is the correct tone of shadow, then the Find X7 series is based on this, allowing users to further experience the delicate changes in light and shadow.
The Find X7 Ultra, which has dual periscopes, feels bold and aggressive in terms of specifications. However, in the actual shooting experience, it can be clearly felt that in the case of focal length coverage, the Find X7 Ultra can well record the light and dark transitions of the scene, accurately convey the relationship between different subjects, and the overall relationship between each object and the frame space, making the actual finished film more three-dimensional, spatial and realistic.
Overall, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra is more of an Oppo show-off production model, making the gap between the finished phone and the professional camera smaller. For professional photographers, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra could be the lightest professional camera availableFor the average user, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra is currently the phone that costs the least money and has the closest experience to a Hasselblad camera.
