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.

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.

‘Senorita 89’ Unmasks the Dark Secrets of Beauty Pageants in 1980s Mexico

Tweet

In the thrilling telenovela’s second season, the 90s are in full swing, and the search for a new Miss Mexico is dirtier than ever.

Following a dramatic first season, the glamorous Mexican telenovela Senorita 89 is back to deliver more dark secrets from the world of beauty pageants. After Isabel (Natasha Dupeyrón) was crowned queen in Season 1 and Concepcion’s (Ilse Salas) luxurious La Encantada empire fell apart, the story shifts into the 90s and follows the battle between Mexico's two main television networks to crown the next queen. But while Isabel does everything to hold on to the crown, the arrival of a new queen threatens to undo her hard work and take everything from her.

Season 2 introduces new series regulars, including Dolores Heredia (El Galán) as La Madrina, mother of the cartels, and Yoshira Escárrega (Toda La Sangre) as Maribel Montaño, a.k.a. La Santa.

Senorita 89’s riveting drama continues to be an eye-opening watch for political thriller fans everywhere. It maintains its focus on addressing relevant issues such as misogyny, beauty stereotypes, and the objectification of women while showing the power of female solidarity, the weight of resilience, and the importance of challenging the status quo.

Talking about what Season 2 will bring, series showrunner and creator Lucia Puenzo told Deadline: “After the incredible reception of the first season, both in Mexico and the rest of the world, it was an immense joy to receive the confirmation that there would be a second season.”

Puenzo adds, “In the second season, our protagonists have understood that nothing is achieved by asking for forgiveness or permission. They are ready to set fire to all limits, borders, privileges… and break once and for, all the stereotypes that say that only princesses have the right to exist.”

Uncover what lies under the glitz and glamour of pageantry with Senorita 89 Season 2, streaming on Lionsgate Play this March 15.
