Pros
- Good color rendering and white balance in photo and video
- Excellentbokeh effect with good subject isolation and high levels of detail
- Very good detail at medium and long-range tele
- Good texture/noise trade-off in photo and video, even in low light
- Accurate exposure and wide dynamic range on portraits and landscape shots
Cons
- Slight loss of detail at close range tele and in ultra-wide shots
- Exposure and tone mapping instabilities in video, especially in high-contrast indoor scenes
- Occasional unnatural texture rendering
- Occasional slight overexposure in low-light photos
The Oppo Find X7 Ultra delivered outstanding results in the DXOMARK Camera tests and deservedly shares the top spot in the ranking with the Huawei Mate 60 Pro+. Scores were excellent across all test areas but the Oppo especially stood out in terms of portrait capture, thanks to natural and accurate colors and high levels of detail in all shooting conditions.
The latest Oppo flagship features an impressive list of hardware specifications, including high-resolution 50MP image sensor in all four camera modules. The main camera comes with a very large 1″ variant that is capable of collecting a lot of photons and therefore image information. In practice, this resulted in natural-looking images with high levels of detail and low noise across all test conditions. On the tele zoom side of things, the FindX 7 Ultra offers two periscope cameras, which provide very high levels of detail when zooming in from 3x to 6x and beyond, across all light conditions. Bokeh images in portrait mode showed accurate subject isolation, as well as excellent color rendering and high levels of detail, thanks to the use of the 3x tele module in this mode.
Unlike some other flagship devices, the FindX7 Ultra does not use an HDR format in video but still relies on the SDR-8-bit format. However, video output was still excellent, with accurate subject exposure and a wide dynamic range. Video clips featured vivid colors and natural skin tones, as well as a very good trade-off between detail preservation and noise reduction, even when recording in low light.
Please note that our test sample photos were captured at default settings in a proprietary HDR format and displayed on the device’s display using ProXDR technology. Currently, Oppo’s proprietary system is not widely compatible with other Android devices, but Oppo has announced that it will in the future be compatible with Google’s Ultra HDR standard. As DXOMARK does not have access to the visualization tools that are required for the assessment of this proprietary HDR format, our evaluation was undertaken using an SDR visualization workflow. It should be noted though that ProXDR captures provided a more pleasant contrast in dim conditions than the SDR counterparts.
Top score
Friends & Family
Our testers found the Oppo Find X7 Ultra to be an excellent device for taking photos and videos of friends and family. The camera captured vivid colors, rendered skin tones naturally, and created a pleasant bokeh effect. In addition, it did a great job at freezing motion in scenes with moving subjects, allowing for easy capture of the decisive moment.
Oppo Find X7 Ultra – Great detail in portraits, good subject isolation, pleasant skin tones, nice bokeh effect
Top score
Lowlight
The latest Oppo flagship is one of the best smartphones for shooting in dim conditions, similar to its predecessor Oppo Find X6 Pro. In our tests, it did a great job at revealing shadow detail with nice contrast, and low-light images showed good detail and very low noise. This is true for photo as well as video, where the Oppo matched the very low noise levels of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Oppo Find X7 Ultra – Extended dynamic range, good detail recovery with low level of noise
Test summary
About DXOMARK Camera tests: DXOMARK’s Camera evaluations take place in laboratories and in real-world situations using a wide variety of subjects. The scores rely on objective tests for which the results are calculated directly by measurement software on our laboratory setups, and on perceptual tests in which a sophisticated set of metrics allow a panel of image experts to compare aspects of image quality that require human judgment. Testing a smartphone involves a team of engineers and technicians for about a week. Photo, Zoom, and Video quality are scored separately and then combined into an Overall score for comparison among the cameras in different devices. For more information about the DXOMARK Camera protocol, click here. More details on smartphone camera scores are available here. The following section gathers key elements of DXOMARK’s exhaustive tests and analyses. Full performance evaluations are available upon request. Please contact us on how to receive a full report.

About DXOMARK Camera Photo tests
For scoring and analysis, DXOMARK engineers capture and evaluate more than 2,600 test images both in controlled lab environments and in outdoor, indoor and low-light natural scenes, using the camera’s default settings. The photo protocol is designed to take into account the main use cases and is based on typical shooting scenarios, such as portraits, family, and landscape photography. The evaluation is performed by visually inspecting images against a reference of natural scenes, and by running objective measurements on images of charts captured in the lab under different lighting conditions from 1 to 1,000+ lux and color temperatures from 2,300K to 6,500K.

In our still image tests, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra delivered great results across all key image quality attributes. Our testers particularly liked the well-balanced color rendering with natural skin tones in all conditions. Exposure was generally pleasant, and a fairly wide dynamic range ensured good detail in both the highlight and shadow areas of the frame. The high levels of captured texture and low noise allowed for the capture of high-quality portrait and landscape images alike. In addition, the well tuned auto-exposure and zero-shutter lag, coupled with the main camera’s large image sensor allowed for freezing motion and capturing the decisive moment.
Unlike some of its rivals, the Oppo does not feature a variable aperture, resulting in a slightly more shallow depth of field. Therefore background subjects in group shots were not rendered perfectly in focus in our tests. Our testers also noticed some contrast and skin tone issues in high-contrast scenes, but despite these minor flaws, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra delivered still images with overall high quality and natural rendering.
Oppo Find X7 Ultra Photo scores vs Ultra-Premium
The photo tests analyze image quality attributes such as exposure, color, texture, and noise in various light conditions. Autofocus performances and the presence of artifacts on all images captured in controlled lab conditions and in real-life images are also evaluated. All these attributes have a significant impact on the final quality of the images captured with the tested device and can help to understand the camera's main strengths and weaknesses.
Close-Up
Close-up is the third use case score introduced with DXOMARK Camera version 5. It evaluates the camera’s ability to capture detail at subject distances below 10cm and magnifications as close as possible to 1:1.
The Oppo Find X7 Ultra automatically switches to the ultra-wide camera module in macro mode. In our tests, the minimum shooting distance in macro mode was slightly longer than on most direct competitors, but image quality in macro mode remained acceptable.
Oppo Find X7 Ultra – Good color rendering but a slightly lower level of detail than competitors
Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max – Slight yellow cast, high levels of detail
Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ – High levels of detail, good subject isolation

Exposure is one of the key attributes for technically good pictures. The main attribute evaluated is the brightness of the main subject through various use cases such as landscape, portrait, or still life. Other factors evaluated are the contrast and the dynamic range, eg. the ability to render visible details in both bright and dark areas of the image. Repeatability is also important because it demonstrates the camera's ability to provide the same rendering when shooting several images of the same scene.
In our tests, the Oppo captured still images with good exposure and a fairly wide dynamic range. In dim conditions, exposure was sometimes slightly too bright, which resulted in good detail but took away some of the low-light mood. Images showed good detail in both highlight and shadow areas of the frame, but our testers noticed a slight lack of contrast in difficult backlit scenes.
Oppo Find X7 Ultra – Good target exposure and wide dynamic range
Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max – Good target exposure and slight highlight clipping

Color is one of the key attributes for technically good pictures. The image quality attributes analyzed are skin-tone rendering, white balance, color shading, and repeatability. For color and skin tone rendering, we penalize unnatural colors but we respect a manufacturer's choice of color signature.
Colors were natural, vivid, and accurate, with only very slightly visible and well-controlled white balance casts. In addition, all types of skin tones were rendered nicely and naturally across all light conditions. On some occasions, our testers noticed slightly oversaturated colors that were affected by contrast issues.

Autofocus tests concentrate on focus accuracy, focus repeatability, shooting time delay, and depth of field. Shooting delay is the difference between the time the user presses the capture button and the time the image is actually taken. It includes focusing speed and the capability of the device to capture images at the right time, what is called 'zero shutter lag' capability. Even if a shallow depth of field can be pleasant for a single subject portrait or close-up shot, it can also be a problem in some specific conditions such as group portraits; Both situations are tested. Focus accuracy is also evaluated in all the real-life images taken, from infinity to close-up objects and in low light to outdoor conditions.
The Oppo´s autofocus was fast, accurate, and reliable. Instant captures with zero-shutter lag were achieved in most conditions, but not always in high-contrast scenes. The large sensor in the Oppo Find X7 Ultra’s main camera module provides a fairly shallow depth of field. As a result, some subject isolation was achieved in portrait shots, but in group shots, background subjects were not rendered perfectly sharp. Unlike some rivals, such as the Huawei Mate 60 Pro+, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra does not feature a variable aperture, but it still managed to maintain some detail on background subjects using software processing.
Autofocus irregularity and speed: 100Lux Δ4EV TL84 Handheld
This graph illustrates focus accuracy and speed and also zero shutter lag capability by showing the edge acutance versus the shooting time measured on the AFHDR setup on a series of pictures. All pictures were taken at 100Lux with TL84 illuminant, 500ms after the defocus. On this scenario, the backlit panels in the scene are set up to simulate a fairly high dynamic range: the luminance ratio between the brightest point and a 18% reflective gray patch is 4, which we denote by a Exposure Value difference of 4. The edge acutance is measured on the four edges of the Dead Leaves chart, and the shooting time is measured on the LED Universal Timer.

Texture tests analyze the level of details and the texture of subjects in the images taken in the lab as well as in real-life scenarios. For natural shots, particular attention is paid to the level of details in the bright and dark areas of the image. Objective measurements are performed on chart images taken in various lighting conditions from 1 to 1000 lux and different kinds of dynamic range conditions. The charts used are the proprietary DXOMARK chart (DMC) and the Dead Leaves chart.

Bokeh is tested in one dedicated mode, usually portrait or aperture mode, and analyzed by visually inspecting all the images captured in the lab and in natural conditions. The goal is to reproduce portrait photography comparable to one taken with a DLSR and a wide aperture. The main image quality attributes paid attention to are depth estimation, artifacts, blur gradient, and the shape of the bokeh blur spotlights. Portrait image quality attributes (exposure, color, texture) are also taken into account.
Portrait mode is one of the Oppo’s strong points. Like the direct competitors in the ultra-premium segment, the Find X7 Ultra produced good depth estimation and an accurate blur gradient, even around fine detail. However, the use of the 3x tele camera in portrait mode is a major advantage over the competition as it provides an angle of view that is more suited to portraiture, while also delivering good detail and accurate skin tones.

Zoom is a key strength of the Oppo Find X7 Ultra camera. Compared to the predecessor, the new model comes with better tele hardware, now offering two tele camera modules with a large sensor. As a result, high levels of detail were captured at tele zoom settings between 3x and 6x and beyond. In addition, noise levels were low, and images showed good exposure and color accuracy. However, the Oppo does not apply any image fusion at close range tele (1x to 3x). In our tests, this resulted in lower levels of detail, compared to the direct competitors that use image fusion, at close-range zoom levels.
At a 14mm equivalent focal length, the ultra-wide camera offers a slightly wider field of view than the Find X6 Pro. However, the module uses a smaller image sensor, and in our tests, the level of captured detail was not quite on par with rivals such as the Huawei P60 Pro or the Vivo X100 Pro. Still, overall the Oppo Find X7 Ultra managed fairly high image quality across a wide range of zoom settings, peaking at medium and long-range tele.

Video Zoom
The Oppo Find X7 Ultra delivered high levels of fine detail as well as low noise when zooming in video mode. Despite the addition of camera modules, transitions are still well handled with little change in framing, and changes are only slightly visible in terms of exposure and color. But smoother transitions on the market are still achieved by the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max.

When using the tele zoom, the Oppo captured excellent levels of detail with its 3x dedicated tele camera. The same was true for the 6x long tele module. In addition, the level of captured detail was consistently high at intermediary zoom levels between the two tele modules. However, unlike its predecessor, the Find X7 Ultra does not apply any image fusion between 1x and 3x tele zoom, resulting in lower levels of detail.
