The biggest upgrades, expectedly, have been reserved for the pro model. The Reno 7 is more iterative, in comparison. Here’s everything to know about the Reno 7 5G and Reno 7 Pro 5G and how they stack up against each other:
— The Reno 7 Pro borrows from the latest iPhones to give you an all-out flat rectangular slab design. The Reno 7 is curvier in comparison, though, still not as much as past Reno phones—the screen is flat.
— The Reno 7 Pro is made of glass and metal. The Reno 7 uses glass and plastic. Both Reno 7 Pro and Reno 7 have a matte in-hand feel and brushed finish. The pro model has a metal frame which is also soft to the touch. The Reno 7 has a glossy plastic frame.
— The Reno 7 Pro’s back camera system is two-step with metal at the top and ceramic on the lower end. The module is surrounded by a breathing light strip that glows when you receive a phone call, message, and during charging. This is absent in the Reno 7.

— The Reno 7 Pro is powered by a customised version of MediaTek’s Dimensity 1200 called Dimensity 1200-Max.
