I don't suppose the ColorOS 7.1 update on the Reno 5g added RAW file support did it? (I am not expecting it to, but it's my most desired feature [more so than video on the other lenses])

It looks like Oppo added new software to its UK site yesterday: https://oppo-uk.custhelp.com/app/software_update_detail/p_name/Reno+10x+Zoom But this says it's only the April 2020 security patch.

That's interesting. Has anyone said whether they also added RAW file support? (I am guessing that Oppo did not...)

Yep. I've been doing some more experimenting with the RAW files. An easier way to get a .DNG file is to use Open Camera (or a number of others do the same thing) - this doesn't require installing from a .APK like GCam. Snapseed seems to see these as true RAW files and the ones from Open Camera...

They work well in HD for me as well. It's just that the screen is capable of HDR and whilst sometimes I find HDR can be either not very useful or a bit too much, it would be nice for it to work as the screen is capable. Having said that, I compared my playback in Netflix to that on a Oneplus 7t...

Does anyone know what the status of HDR playback on Netflix, Amazon and Disney+ is? I assume this is down to the actual apps lacking support for the phone, but I had read that HDR used to work on the 10x Zoom at some point last year.

For what it's worth I contacted Oppo UK to ask about adding RAW file support to the 10x Zoom. They replied really quickly, which was good. They said they would feed this back to relevant people, which is all one can expect. But I think it's worth giving the feedback anyway.

I can understand why Oppo might want to limit RAW support to the 'Expert' mode, but there doesn't seem to be a good reason to not allow it at all. Especially given the photo-focused nature of the camera. I know that RAW files out of phones can sometimes look really bad because the phone makes so...

Hi All I just picked up the Oppo 10x zoom for a very decent price. Hadn't been specifically considering it but wanted a good, flexible camera and everything else is so expensive now. I knew that the phone didn't support saving RAW files in the camera app but thought it was worth the trade off...
