After 6 months since its launch, does OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G with Dimensity 1200-MAX still maintain its initial excellence? Let's evaluate the device through a few tests below!

Performance Score of OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G After 6 Months

To showcase the power of OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G, let's delve into the first test, the performance score. In this assessment, I'll use software like GeekBench 5, 3Dmark, and PCMark to score the processing capabilities of OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G, providing you with a visual and clear understanding of the device's strength. The conditions for scoring are as follows:

• The device's battery must be between 90 - 100%.
• No charging during the performance assessment.
• Perform 3 consecutive tests and take the average result after the 3 tests.

Firstly, I'll use GeekBench 5 and PCMark to evaluate the performance. As you can see in the results below, the scores of OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G after 6 months are slightly lower than the initial scores. Nevertheless, these scores are still commendable at the current stage and don't significantly lag behind comparable devices recently released.

Here are the results I obtained:

- GeekBench 5:

• Single-core/Multi-core Score: 562/2,702.
• GPU Compute (graphics score): 4,543.

- PCMark: 9,211 points.

Next, using the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme test to assess the graphics performance. The results, as shown below, indicate that OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G achieved a total score of 1,310 with an average FPS of 7.80 after 6 months. Additionally, the device's temperature increased by 1 degree Celsius (33°C to 34°C), and the battery decreased by 1% (95% to 94%).

Finally, we employed the most demanding 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Stress Test in this section. For those who may have forgotten, this test automatically repeats the scoring process 20 times to evaluate the stability of a smartphone during prolonged heavy tasks (such as video editing, gaming, etc.). Please take a look at the results below and pay attention to the Stability metric!

After 6 months, OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G has achieved improved stability at 69.7% compared to 57.9% at launch. This enhancement is likely due to the optimization of the Dimensity 1200-MAX chip for this device. Moreover, the device still experiences considerable heat after completing the test (increasing by 11 degrees, from 35°C to 46°C). Additionally, the battery life of the phone has decreased by 10% (from 94% to 84%).

Through these tests, it seems that OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G has been well-optimized with the Dimensity 1200-MAX chip. However, these figures are for reference only. Let's move on to the next test to further evaluate the capabilities of this processor!

OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G delivers a smooth gaming experience

Moving on to the next test, gaming on OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G. I have selected four popular games, namely Arena of Valor, PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile, and Genshin Impact, to assess the gaming capabilities of this phone. The test is conducted using the PerfDog app. Detailed results and graphics settings for each game on Redmi Note 11S 5G can be found here for your reference!

• Arena of Valor

First up, let's dive into the national MOBA game of Vietnam - Arena of Valor. For OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G, I didn't hesitate to push all graphics settings to the highest level for an outstanding gaming experience.

Living up to expectations, OPPO Reno7 Pro 5G, six months after its launch, still provides an excellent gaming experience. Every move, skill execution, map check, and response speed remain swift without any noticeable lag. The frame rate in the game maintains a stable performance with 59.8 FPS.
