OPPO Reno Z

The OPPO Reno Z has the same glass-and-plastic sandwich design with gradient color back as that of the OPPO Reno and the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Edition. There’s a 6.4-inch AMOLED screen at the front with Full HD+ resolution (2340×1080 pixels, 19.5:9 aspect ratio), an under-display fingerprint reader and a waterdrop-shaped notch. In addition to the Star Purple color, the Reno Z will also be available in Extreme Night Black, Coral Orange, and Bead White colors.

The phone has a 48MP+5MP dual-camera setup on the rear. It’s the same 1/2-inch 48MP sensor (F1.7 aperture, 26mm wide-angle lens, PDAF, 0.8µm pixels) from Sony that’s being used by most brands in their mid-range and high-end smartphones. The 5MP sensor acts as a depth information gatherer to make it easier to produce images with DSLR-like shallow depth-of-field effect. The rear-facing camera setup can also record 4K videos at 30fps and 1080p videos at 30 or 60fps. There’s a 32MP snapper on the front. This is a high-resolution camera sensor from Samsung, which uses 4-in-1 pixel binning feature that results in better images in low-light conditions. The selfie camera can record Full HD resolution videos at 30 frames per second.

The OPPO Reno Z runs Android 9 Pie-based ColorOS 6.0 software. Under the hood, the OPPO Reno Z uses a MediaTek Helio P90 chipset. There’s an octa-core 64-bit CPU in which two Cortex-A75 cores are clocked at 2.0GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0GHz. There’s a PowerVR GM9446 GPU. In terms of memory, the smartphone will have 6GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. There’s no memory expansion capability since there’s no microSD card slot.

The OPPO Reno Z is fueled by a 3950mAh capacity battery, and there’s support for the company’s homegrown fast battery charging technology, VOOC 3.0. This fast charging technology supplies up to 20W of power to the OPPO Reno Z. The phone is fairly modern in terms of wired and wireless connectivity. There’s USB Type-C port, which also supports USB OTG, and there’s a 3.5mm headphone jack. The OPPO Reno Z comes with a dual-nano SIM card slot and support for 4G LTE SIM cards in both the SIM slots. There’s GPS, Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC.
