Reno7 Pro 5G

We’ve come to expect this now. The OPPO Reno line comes up with a new phone every six months and 2022 is no different. Kicking of the new year is the OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G that’s now in Singapore.

All about imaging

The Reno line has been zeroing in on delivering fantastic images and that continues with the Reno7 Pro 5G. This phone features two flagship sensors — the IMX709 and the IMX766.

The IMX709 sensor was developed by OPPO together with Sony. It’s on the Reno7 Pro 5G’s 32MP selfie camera. It has an all-new RGBW pixel array that contains additional white pixels not found in traditional RGGB image sensors. It can capture 60 percent more light than standard RGGB sensors while reducing noise by up to 35 percent.

The rear camera module is no slouch either. The main camera is a 50MP shooter with the IMX766 sensor. It’s flanked by an 8MP ultra wide-angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a dedicated color temperature sensor.

All that hardware goodness is accompanied by a slew of software shooting features like AI Highlight Video, Bokeh Flare Portrait Video, Portrait Mode, and more. All of which are staple OPPO shooting features.

Packed to perform

The Reno7 Pro 5G features the MediaTek Dimensity 1200-MAX flagship-level 5G-integrated with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal as standard. That RAM can be expanded to 7GB if necessary by temporarily allocating ROM.

It has a 4,500mAh battery with support for 65W SUPERVOOC wired fast charging. The Reno7 Pro 5G has a 6.5-inch AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate that’s also HDR10+ certified. It also has ColorOS 12 straight out of the box for a smoother, smarter UI experience.

In terms of looks, the Reno7 Pro 5G inherits the OPPO Glow design of the Reno series. It’ll be available in two colors: Startrails Blue and Starlight Black.

Local endorsement

Actor Lawrence Wong is , OPPO’s first official brand ambassador in-market. As part of the collaboration, OPPO has sponsored Reunion Dinner starring the actor. It’s an upcoming Chinese New Year-themed movie slated to be in theaters starting January 20, 2022.

Reunion Dinner is presented by Clover Films and iQIYI, in association with King Kong Media Production and Mediacorp. OPPO and the actor will also be working on a series of promotional activities for the Reno7 Pro 5G later this month.

Price and availability

The OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G will be available starting January 15 at a retail price of SG$ 999 at OPPO Concept Stores, OPPO’s Shopee and Lazada Flagship Stores, M1, Singtel and StarHub as well as all authorized retailers.

From January 15 until 4 March, users can purchase the Reno7 Pro 5G at a promotional price of SG$ 919 (U.P SG $999) at OPPO Concept Stores, and OPPO’s Shopee and Lazada Flagship Stores, and will come with a pair of OPPO Enco Air earphones and a pair of movie tickets for ‘Reunion Dinner’, while stocks last.

Apple’s March 4 Event signals something BIG is coming

When Apple breaks tradition, it usually means something big

Apple is gearing up for a big announcement, and the date is set — March 4, 2026.

Invites have gone out for an in-person “Apple Experience” happening simultaneously in New York, London, and Shanghai.

Typically, Apple hosts just two major in-person events each year: WWDC in June and the iPhone launch in September, both held at its Cupertino campus.

The last time the company staged a third in-person event was in spring 2024 for what became its largest-ever iPad refresh.

In-person events are usually reserved for major product launches, fueling speculation that Apple is preparing to introduce something significant.

While the company hasn’t officially confirmed the lineup, rumors point to a new entry-level Mac laptop featuring an aluminum chassis and bright color finishes.

Noted Apple leaker Mark Gurman says the invite’s yellow, green, and blue accents match colors Apple has reportedly tested for these upcoming devices.

Additional reports suggest Apple could unveil an iPhone 17e, updated iPad and iPad Air models, upgraded MacBook Pro configurations powered by M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, a refreshed Studio Display, and an enhanced version of Siri with Google Gemini integration.

Whether all of these products make an appearance remains to be seen — but if the rumors hold true, 2026 is shaping up to be a major year for Apple.

EU wages war against doomscrolling

Brussels is asking TikTok to change its addictive design.

Doomscrolling is the greatest enemy to everyone’s productivity today. The temptation to keep on scrolling for hours is an ever-present temptation. Taking a very strong stance against the phenomenon, the European Commission is now investigating TikTok for having an addictive interface.

Via Politico, Brussels is now prodding TikTok to change its interface. Very technically, the European Commission is not out to get doomscrolling, specifically. However, the major changes that they want to introduce “disabling infinite scrolling, setting strict screen time breaks, and changing its recommender systems.”

App addiction is a persistent problem today. Besides concerned parents, governments around the world have been trying to regulate addiction, especially when it comes to children. The European Commission, as is apparent from this new initiative, is at the forefront of preventing addiction.

Though the target is explicitly TikTok right now, changing addictive interfaces will also affect other social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and X. Most platforms nowadays thrive on encouraging users to keep scrolling through more content.

Right now, TikTok isn’t set to change just yet. However, the report states that the European Commission is willing to work with platforms for a better, non-addictive interface. It’s less abrasive than the region’s recent privacy initiatives, which requires users to verify their age before accessing mature content.

Are you ready for a more colorful MacBook?

Apple is experimenting with quirkier colorway options for the MacBook.

In recent years, Apple has relented on limiting the colors of its devices to only the more premium-looking options. Users can now pick quirkier colors for their iPhones, highlighted currently by the Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max. Soon, the same splashes of color might make its way to the MacBook lineup.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple has been testing different colorway options for its upcoming entry-level MacBook. The unannounced lineup might come in pink, light yellow, light green, and blue.

It’s a big change for MacBooks. Currently, the only “quirky” option that users can get is the MacBook Air’s Sky Blue, which honestly looks more silvery than blue. Other than that, the MacBook simply seesaws from different shades of gold, silver, and black.

To be fair, the upcoming MacBook will still have the traditional colorways of the current lineup. Additionally, it’s unclear whether Apple will ultimately include all its experimental colors into the final lineup.

Reportedly, the new lineup will cost somewhere between US$ 699 to US$ 799. Of course, the lower price tag will come at the expense of some specs. Although, it should still be good if we’re talking about an entry-level laptop.

It’s even more interesting if it’s hinting at the return of truly colorful options but for the notebook. The iMac already got a similar renaissance back in 2024, which mimics the classic computer’s colorful history.
