OPPO Find X7 Ultra Number One Rated Camera Phone by DXOMARK
Combining world-first breakthroughs in camera hardware with OPPO’s powerful HyperTone Camera System, cutting-edge computational photography, and pro-grade Hasselblad tuning, Find X7 Ultra achieved a best-in-class overall Camera score of 157, with a record-setting sub-score for Bokeh and the highest Video sub-score of any Android smartphone.
Excellent camera experience in all conditions
Find X7 Ultra’s incredible camera system achieved top scores in many real-world scenarios.
Smartphones notoriously struggle to capture indoor photos with mixed and artificial light, but Find X7 Ultra excelled in DXOMARK’s tests, with record-setting scores in various conditions including Indoor, Night-Time and Friend & Family categories, demonstrating the power and versatility of OPPO’s HyperTone Camera System.
“OPPO
Find X7 Ultra’s camera performance is excellent across all of our tests, with
exceptional portrait rendering, as well as best-in-class zoom and detail
preservation for both photo and video.”
- Olympe Corblet, Image Science Engineer/Product Owner, DXOMARK
No.1 Rated Smartphone for Bokeh
OPPO Find X7 Ultra's Hasselblad Portrait Mode was recognised by DXOMARK as being standout, ranking first among all smartphones. Bokeh highlights included precise and accurate foreground, subject and background segmentation with minimal artifacts, respectful skin tone reproduction, and more detailed results than competitor portrait modes.
This world-class portrait photography is made possible by the new Hasselblad Portrait Mode, created by OPPO in partnership with Hasselblad to bring its classical portrait style to Find X7 Ultra.
With master photographers in mind, Find X7 Ultra’s Portrait Mode captures at four focal lengths: 23mm, 44mm, 65mm, and 135mm. Each is calibrated to a different Hasselblad lens, producing cinematic bokeh with foreground and background depth, able to recognise a single strand of hair for ultimate accuracy.
No.1 Rated Android Smartphone for Video
The only Android smartphone to achieve a DXOMARK Video score of 156 in addition to the highest score in noise handling of any smartphone, Find X7 Ultra’s powerful video capture, highlights its status as an imaging champion and a powerful tool for creators and filmmakers.
Thanks to its advanced camera sensors, Find X7 Ultra can also capture 10-bit Dolby Vision HDR video at 4K resolution with seamless transitions across all four cameras for a pro-grade video camera experience.
Find X7 Ultra – The Ultimate Camera Phone
DXOMARK’s findings confirm that Find X7 Ultra is the Ultimate Camera Phone. With four 50MP cameras with large sensors, one debuting Sony’s second-generation 1-inch sensor for mobile, and two of which are periscope zoom cameras, it bridges the zoom gap between optical focal lengths like never before on a smartphone.
This world-class imaging system creates a best-in-class photography and video experience, so you can confidently capture your next masterpiece knowing you’re shooting on a competition-beating camera.

Stylishly stand out from the crowd with realme 12 Pro+ 5G
Here are some ways to stand out online
and in the world:
Put
together high-quality looks through minimalist pieces
Minimalism in fashion remains timeless
because it opposes flashy yet temporary trends. Simple pieces in neutral colors
will remain in style season after season, so it’s no surprise that this
aesthetic is still current. Looking good doesn’t necessarily mean having to
wear over-the-top pieces.
To make sure minimalist ‘fits are
showcased properly, the quality, material, and visual impact of the entire look
must be captured with precise detail. The realme 12 Pro+ 5G and its three
distinct cameras provide the perfect solution to this. The high-quality photos
produced by the 64MP Periscope Portrait Lens allows quiet pieces to stand out
and shine. The realme 12 Pro+ 5G currently has one of the highest resolution
telephoto lenses on any smartphone camera in its segment, with up to 3x
Telephoto Zoom and 6x In-Sensor Zoom for up close and personal portrait shots.
Additionally, the realme 12 Pro+ 5G showcases the ultimate in versatility with
its other two cameras. It has a 50MP Sony IMX890 Optical Image Stabilization
(OIS) lens that allows users to take photos on the move, with no blurs and
other interference, while its 8MP 112° Wide Angle camera is perfect for
capturing backgrounds in OOTDs.
Exude
sophistication through chic and luxurious outfits
A new trend that popped up recently is
the quiet luxury aesthetic. This style champions understated elegance, refined
taste, and high-quality pieces made with sumptuous materials. Quiet luxury, a
style favored by those who favor traditional looks, is often associated with
muted colors, rich materials like cashmere, and craftsmanship.
Channel the traditional look with a
smartphone that’s not just stylish but looks upscale. The realme 12 Pro+ 5G
accentuates chic, classic outfits with its Luxury Watch Design. Ollivier Savéo,
an international luxury watch design master who has worked with labels like
Rolex, Roger Dubuis, Piaget, Breitling, and Quentin, co-designed realme’s
latest smartphone. He infused elements from luxury watchmaking into the
smartphone, like a classic polished
sunburst dial, a golden fluted bezel, and a 3D jubilee bracelet. The back has a
silky, high-end vegan leather finish.
Stand
out with an urban and sophisticated ‘fit
While understated elegance has its
appeal, some choose to stand out and dazzle. Combining streetwear with luxury
pieces makes a bold declaration of style with its contrast.
Highlight this eye-catching look with
the realme 12 Pro+ 5G’s Master Portrait Filters. Claudio Miranda, an Oscar
Award winner, took inspiration from Hollywood films to create exclusive filters
that suit different ‘fits. Users can choose from any of the following available
filters:
● Journey: Inspired by the hit movie “Life of Pi”
with yellow tones and high contrast colors to create a “dream-like” tone
● Memory: Inspired by the film “The Curious Case
of Benjamin Button” with cold tones and low-saturation colors for a calm and
capable vibe
● Maverick: Inspired by the movie “Top Gun:
Maverick” with yellow-green tones, high contrast, and high noise to create a
retro film-like vibe
Gen Z and millennials’ impact on the
fashion industry extends beyond mere trends; it's a cultural movement that
champions individuality and inclusivity. With their innovative style approach
and widespread influence across different platforms, these groups shape the
fashion landscape in many ways.
The cutting-edge technology and features
of the realme 12 Pro+ 5G empower Gen Z and Millennials to express their
fashion-forward ideas with confidence and share them with a global audience. The realme 12 Pro+ 5G retails for only P25,999 and comes
in two colorways: Submarine Blue and Navigator Beige. Check out realme’s
official offline stores, Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.

Samsung Galaxy A55 5G and Galaxy A35 5G: Awesome Innovations and Security Engineered for Everyone
With upgraded security features and a more vivid viewing experience, the new Galaxy A series devices democratize mobile experiences for all
SEOUL, Korea – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. unveiled the Galaxy A55 5G and Galaxy A35 5G, two smartphones that demonstrate Samsung’s ongoing commitment to making the best of mobile innovations available to everyone. Both devices come with extensive security features such as Knox Vault, as well as new photography capabilities inspired by Galaxy’s flagship camera innovations and a stunning display that adjusts to users’ surroundings with Vision Booster.
“With the Galaxy A series, we are expanding our latest technologies to a wider audience so that more people can benefit from them,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “We are excited to open up even more possibilities on the Galaxy A series this year, including offering Samsung Knox Vault for the first time on this lineup. We’re proud to enable Galaxy A series users to safely and reliably enjoy outstanding mobile experiences.”
An Entertainment and Creativity Hub with Versatile Photography and Stunning Display
With enhanced Nightography, Galaxy A55 5G takes clearer and more vibrant photos even in poor lighting conditions. That means every nighttime photo can reach awesome new levels. Galaxy A55 5G’s advanced AI Image Signal Processing (ISP) produces stunning low-light images never seen before on Galaxy A series. It’s not just scenery that looks amazing. Night Portrait mode and 12-bit HDR video ensure the people in every image look great so that capturing memories with friends and family is never dependent on the perfect lighting.
Both Galaxy A55 5G and Galaxy A35 5G offer the incredible photography capabilities that Samsung Galaxy is renowned for, including features such as optical image stabilization (OIS) and video digital image stabilization (VDIS) that keep photos and videos crisp even when filming on the go.

They can also count on the 6.6-inch[1] screen on both the Galaxy A55 5G and Galaxy A35 5G looking clear and bright in a range of light conditions thanks to Vision Booster.
Democratizing Samsung’s Most Powerful Security Innovations to Intelligently Protect More Customers for Longer
This year Samsung is bringing one of its most innovative flagship security features, Samsung Knox Vault to Galaxy A series users for the very first time, including on the new Galaxy A55 5G and Galaxy A35 5G. A hardware-based and tamper-resistant security solution, Samsung Knox Vault offers comprehensive protection against both hardware and software attacks by constructing a secure execution environment that is physically isolated from the system’s main processor and memory. It can help protect the most critical data on a device, including lock screen credentials, such as PIN codes, passwords and patterns. Samsung Knox Vault also protects device encryption keys, encrypting users’ private data stored in the device. Only a user who has the correct lock screen credentials can access their data, even if the device is lost or stolen.
The Galaxy A55 5G and Galaxy A35 5G are also secured by Samsung Knox, Galaxy’s multi-layer security platform. One of the most trusted security platforms in the world, Samsung Knox is designed to safeguard critical information and protect against vulnerabilities with end-to-end secure hardware, real-time threat detection and collaborative protection, taking a holistic approach across the entire Galaxy ecosystem.
For even more ways to stay protected, the Galaxy A series offers Auto Blocker, an opt-in package of additional security measures. When switched on, Auto Blocker can block app installations from unauthorized sources, provide app security checks[2] to scan for potential malware and block potentially malicious commands and software installations to your device while connected by USB cable. New Galaxy A series users will also have access to Galaxy’s Security and Privacy Dashboard, making it easier than ever to see and control what is happening to their data and withdraw any permissions whenever they choose. They can also enjoy Private Sharing (part of Quick Share), which enables the secure and encrypted sharing of private files containing important personal or financial information. To ensure confidentiality, users can control the recipient’s access permissions and the file’s expiration date, while also choosing to limit screenshots or downloads.
The new Galaxy A series smartphones demonstrate Samsung’s commitment to ensure Galaxy devices remain secure and up-to-date for longer. With the Galaxy A55 5G and Galaxy A35 5G, users will continue to benefit for up to four generations of Android OS and One UI upgrades and five years of security updates, optimizing the lifecycle of the devices by keeping them equipped with all the latest Galaxy and Android features.
