Oppo Reno

While the OPPO Reno isn’t the company’s first phone with a triple-camera setup, it is company’s first smartphone with a 48MP sensor and 10x optical zoom capabilities. The OPPO Reno has 48MP primary camera sensor (½-inch) with an f/1.8 aperture, 0.8µm pixels, and phase-detection autofocus. The 48MP sensor is paired to a periscope-style 10x optical zoom mechanism so that you can reach where other smartphone cameras can’t. The rear-facing camera also supports 4K video recording at 60fps. The 20MP secondary sensor has an f/2.6 aperture and an ultra-wide-angle lens. The third camera sensor on the OPPO Reno’s rear is a 3D TOF sensor that can map an object in 3D space by bouncing off infrared light on it and measuring the time it took light to travel and bounce back. At the front, the OPPO Reno comes with a 16MP selfie camera with Full HD 1080p video recording at 30fps.

The OPPO Reno features a 6.4-inch AMOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution (2340x1080 pixels) and 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Its screen is bezel-less and features a small waterdrop-shaped notch at the top to accommodate the front-facing camera. Since it is an AMOLED screen, OPPO has managed to include an in-display fingerprint reader. The OPPO Reno is available in four striking colors: Midnight Black, Nebula Purple, Pink, and Sea Green.

Qualcomm’s flagship processor for the rest of 2019, the Snapdragon 855, is used in the OPPO Reno. It runs OPPO’s Color OS 6, which is based on Android 9 Pie operating system. OPPO’s new software is a lot cleaner and intuitive compared to previous versions of Color OS. The phone is available in two variants: 6GB RAM + 128GB storage and 8GB RAM + 256GB internal storage. There’s a microSD card slot for storage expansion by up to an additional 512GB.

The OPPO Reno uses a 4065mAh battery (4000mAh typical) that can be fast-charged using OPPO’s Super VOOC Flash Charge technology. Super VOOC Flash Charge technology uses up to 50W charger to rapidly charge a battery. The phone should easily last a complete day after its battery’s single full charge. OPPO Reno’s connectivity features include GPS, dual-SIM card slot (dual-4G LTE), Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac/6, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and a USB 3.1 Type-C port. There will also be another variant of the OPPO Reno with 5G connectivity.
