This year's Find collection has come to us a little earlier than ever in the New Year.
To be honest, I must be happy to see the real machine earlier, but I can't help but wonder if OPPO has enough time to polish the ultra-first-class hardware of the Find X7 series, what progress has been made in the new generation of ultra-light and shadow imaging system, and whether this super cup can afford the name "Ultra......
Therefore, the first time we got the real machine, we filmed for a day and a night, and finally had the answer. Without further ado, let's talk about this "super image flagship" immediately.
First of all, a brief review of the parameters, the ultra-wide angle uses LYT600, and the wide angle is the new 1-inch sensor LYT900, which was first launched by OPPO, and the dual periscopes use an IMX890 with 3X native optical variation, and an IMX858 with 6X native optical variation, and the Find X7 Ultra The entire imaging system completely covers the equivalent of 14mm - 300mm creative focal length.
On paper alone, this set of "Double Periscope Master Four Cameras", whether it is imaging quality or focal length coverage, is definitely "unprecedented". Next, let's put it into practice and take a look at how strong this super imaging flagship with the name "Ultra" is?
>/ The first new 1-inch outsole, is it the end of the wide angle?
I had high expectations for the new 1-inch sensor, and the actual results were quite satisfying.
The resolution is strong, the details are complete, you can see the mottled walls, the curling of clouds, the reflection of glass, even the corner picture quality, it can also withstand magnification. In addition, the LYT900 makes up for the shortcomings of the past 1 inch in DCG technology, with better dynamic range, good detail preservation in the light and dark parts, and I especially like its sky, which does not blindly suppress the highlights, from pure blue to gray blue, and then to a faint glow, the transition is quite delicate.
Computational photography, on the other hand, has invisibly raised the upper limit of this wide angle. Judging by this photo, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra's control of the light is almost perfect, there is no overflow, there is no noticeable drop in image quality, and the colors are quite pure, with colorful neon lights, pitch-black night sky, and even the delicate transition of light and shadow on the metal are very close to what the naked eye can see. It can be said that the color, atmosphere, and layer, all of them are available this time.
This LYT900, which was first launched by OPPO, has improved a lot compared to IMX989, the level of image quality and dynamic performance are the current ceiling level, and the imaging speed is faster than I imagined, even in the dark light night scene, it only takes 1 second, and what is even more rare is that thanks to the 22nm advanced process, the heat is less, and the energy efficiency has improved a lot, which is better than last year's 1-inch flagship, and it is closer to the end of the wide angle.
>/ Industry-exclusive "double periscope", this time the telephoto has no regrets
Before answering this question, we should first think, where was the telephoto weakness in the past?
Is it the blind pursuit of extreme telephoto and ignoring the more commonly used 3X / 6X focal length? Is it limited by the body space to stop the single periscope and can only choose between 3X or 5X? Or is the telephoto in the dark environment not actively invoked, always switching back to the 1X lens to crop?
In order to have no regrets, OPPO chose the "Double Periscope", a 3X telephoto lens with the strongest light sensitivity, a 1/1.56-inch outsole, a large f/2.6 aperture, and a 6X portrait close-up telephoto, the longest periscope of the native focal length so far, with 50 million high pixels, striving to bring higher clarity to high-magnification shooting.
Let's take a look at this 3X telephoto first, since it is the most light-sensitive telephoto, let's go directly to the 3X shooting performance in low-light environments.
The light was a bit dim at the time, but the Oppo Find X7 Ultra's 3X telephoto did a good job and it seemed to be getting enough light. Compared with 1X cropping, 3X native light change has stronger image quality and color reproduction. And I like its layering very much,Didn't blindly brighten the picture,But as faithful as possible to the real relationship between light and dark,The iron frame illuminated by neon lights,The brightest part is a piece of red,The rust on the surface can be seen in the slightly brighter place,And the shadow area outside the light source can also be darkened,The whole transition is quite delicate,The sense of hierarchy comes out naturally,This HDR performance is correct。
Let's talk about the 6X periscope telephoto, and my first impression is that it is clear, with no obvious noise and no traces of oversharpening. At a second glance, I was even more impressed by its tone, with delicate shadows and ups and downs from every angle of the curved building. Some people say that shadow tone is metaphysics, but I don't think so, the so-called shadow tone is nothing more than the sum of the "scientific values" of color, light and shade, and it depends on the trade-offs of various manufacturers.
Like the iPhone's shadow tone, it highlights a "prime", the color is light, the contrast between light and dark is small, and it is left to the user to go to the later stage, and the feeling of Samsung shooting will be more "glamorous", giving people the feeling that it is brighter and fuller, and the impact is also the strongest.
OPPO chose to be centered, focusing on the sense of space, which is reflected in the picture, that is, the colors are not gorgeous, but more rich, with delicate transitions to highlight the three-dimensional sense of the plane, and the relationship between light and dark is also more layered, so as to create a sense of immersion. Therefore, even if it is just a casual daily shot, the photo can also be very weighty, like this photo, the building complex is the brightest under the sun, the people and the lawn are at the foot of the tall building, the picture is the darkest, and the light and shadow between the buildings have ups and downs, there are turns, you can see that there are far and close between different subjects, so the whole photo has a sense of space.
Even if it is 10X, or even 20X, the photos taken are still usable, and with the blessing of the "ultra-clear image quality algorithm" of the super light and shadow image engine, the image quality will not be significantly reduced, and the color consistency is also within the acceptable range, I think the new generation of concert shooting artifact will be won by the OPPO Find X7 Ultra.
To sum it simply, I think the biggest significance of this set of "double periscopes" is that the shooting is more free. In the past, we listened to the lens when we took pictures, who was better, who was the first to use, and starting with the OPPO Find X7 Ultra, which lens we choose, it is completely up to our personal will, if we want to shoot indoor subjects, no matter light or dark, 3X zoom can always be used, if you want to shoot outdoor scenery, 6X zoom can provide better image quality than the telephoto in the past, they are all strong, and the switching between different focal lengths is also very silky, you can use whoever you want, I think this will be the final form of moving images.
>/ Hasselblad Master mode, there are surprises in texture and interaction
After talking about the photo mode, let's talk about the "Hasselblad Master Mode" of the OPPO Find X7 Ultra.
I think the interface of Hasselblad Master Mode this time is very simple, it is relatively easy to get started, and there are many effect values that can be adjusted, such as sharpness, contrast, saturation, and hue can be controlled, and there are two options: Auto and Pro, which are friendly to both novice and professional photographers.
After taking a few shots with Hasselblad Master mode, I feel that the colors are very similar to the Hasselblad X2D, which is very durable, and the picture looks very close to the texture of a medium format camera, this classic Hasselblad style combined with advanced OPPO computational photography makes the OPPO Find X7 Ultra more like a camera, and I highly recommend you try it out for yourself after you get started.
>/ Hasselblad professional portraits, one camera comparable to XCD four lenses
Those who are familiar with photography must know that the Hasselblad XCD series lenses have always been known for their professionalism and rigor, and the extremely sophisticated optical system brings an ultra-high level of color and image quality, so the price is quite expensive, and a single lens costs about 30,000 yuan.

The Oppo Find X7 Ultra is quite bold this time, and it wants to use this "Dual Periscope Master Quad Camera" with a new generation of super light and shadow imaging system to simulate the portrait texture of Hasselblad's four XCD lenses. It may seem a little incredible, how can a phone be compared to a professional camera, but OPPO does it.
Portrait mode is the most computational photography and the most algorithm-testing. In the past, portraits seemed to have heavy traces of algorithms, and the characters had a "sense of texture", but in the final analysis, it was still "not enough calculation", so the OPPO Find X7 Ultra chose to use more and stronger algorithms to bid farewell to the "algorithm flavor".
As you can see from this portrait, the finesse of the professional Hasselblad portrait mode is quite exaggerated, and if you look closely at the figure's flowing hair, the undulating folds of the coat, and the edges of the leather bag, the buckle is very detailed, which shows how strong the OPPO algorithm is. Moreover, the whole bokeh is gradual, slowly blurring from the center plane of focus to the distance, and the wall close to the figure is more solid, and the tree far away from the figure is more virtual, so it looks quite deep. Overall, the portraits are sharp but not obtrusive, and the background is creamy and silky, which is quite close to the effect of the XCD 1,9/80 lens.
In addition to excellent bokeh, I think the Oppo Find X7 Ultra has also been very careful in the choice of portrait focal length, not only with a 65mm focal length for commonly used portraits, but also with a 135mm focal length, which can greatly compress the background and filter out unnecessary distractions, making the "spatial cut" more intense. Just like this photo, the huge high-rise buildings are easily compressed and blurred, and the 6X lens native focal length produces sharp and clear images, and the telephoto allows the photographer to maintain a distance of several meters between the photographer and the subject, so that the subject faces the camera more naturally, not easy to be nervous, and the expression looks more vivid, I have to say that the 135mm is indeed very suitable for shooting outdoor portraits.
There is another point I want to talk about, that is, OPPO's beauty, which is obviously straightforward, but has a sense of refinement. What OPPO is now pursuing is a pristine beauty that treats small imperfections but does not roughly smooth them out, but restores the skin's natural texture. Moreover, the portraits taken by OPPO, like the scenery, pay great attention to light and shadow, people's facial features are undulating, and the changes in light and shadow on it are also very delicate, which will have a three-dimensional sense when this is done well. So I think the portrait of the Oppo Find X7 Ultra gives me the feeling that no post-production is required, and straight out is the best.
In the process of experiencing portraits, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra has another feature that left a deep impression on me, and that is AIGC removal. With the help of AndesGPT large model, it can help you automatically erase and complete passers-by or debris in the background, compared with traditional erasing technology, its cutout will be more fine, and the generation will be more realistic, and it can be integrated with the background, which has achieved the point of "confusing the real with the fake". I have to say,This function is still very practical.,You can save waste films with a single stroke.,Make the background clean.,You can take it to the circle of friends right away.。
(AIGC Elimination)
Write at the end
I think the OPPO Find X6 Pro has done that, and the OPPO Find X7 Ultra brings a more "propositional" and "personal" professional photography experience on this basis, more like a portable camera hand-built by OPPO and Kazakhstan.
I think there are plenty of reasons for everyone to buy the OPPO Find X7 Ultra. Maybe it's because professional photographers are portable, without heavy equipment, and they don't have to worry about missing the pictures worth shooting; maybe it's because photography enthusiasts fall in love with photography because of it, and step by step towards professional creation; maybe it's ordinary people who buy it to record life, and recall the beauty of ordinary life between color and light and shadow.
Finally, to summarize in a simple sentence, I think OPPO is in the right direction, mobile imaging should not deviate from the aesthetics of photography, the future should belong to computational photography and aesthetic expression go hand in hand, and OPPO Find X7 Ultra is the product of this concept, everyone can experience the "Hasselblad flavor" hidden in the advanced OPPO imaging technology, you can also be a "master".
