OPPO launched its Reno lineup in the Philippines last week, consisting of the standard Reno and the Reno 10x Zoom Edition.Both are designed to level-up phone photography, video and audio capturing among many others. These models will serve as the mobile company’s newest flagship, tossing over the OppoFseries.
Along with its unveiling, OPPO also introduced its newest brand ambassadors consisting of artists and creatives of different fields, the Reno Collective. These artists include fashion-forward sibling duo Daryl and Andre Chang, film director TrebMonteras, contemporary artist Dex Fernandez, photographer Magic Liwanag, and band IV of Spades.
OPPO’s F series put the company on the map and brought it rapid commercial and critical success over the past few years. But it’s the Reno 10x Zoom Edition that establishes it as a worthy rival to Apple and Samsung.
Why do we think so?
Oppo Reno and Oppo Reno Zoom 10x Specs
The OPPO Renofeatures a 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 2340 x 1080 pixel resolution. It comes with a Corning Gorilla Glass 6 for added protection.
This unit model is powered by Snapdragon 710 and coupled with Adreno 616 GPU. It runs with 6GB RAM, making internet browsing smother and faster. Another feature worthy of mentioning is the expanded storage capacity of 256GB.
When it comes to camera, Oppo never fails to surprise its fans. It comes with a 48MP main + 5MP depth camera, while it has a 16MP front camera housed in the shark-fin design pop-up mechanism.
Other features include a 3.5mm headphone jack, USB-C port, face recognition, in-display fingerprint scanner, 3,765mAh battery capacity with VOOC Flash Charge 3.0, and runs on ColorOS 6 based on Android 9 Pie.
On the other hand, the Reno 10x Zoom Edition has a larger screen size at 6.6 inches with a 2340 x 1080 FHD+ AMOLED display. It is also protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 6.
Unlike the regular Reno, the Zoom 10x Edition is powered by Snapdragon 855 and paired with Adreno 640 GPU.
Of course, being the higher model, it boasts a faster 8GB RAM, while the storage capacity remains the same with the regular unit at 256GB. But it has more bonuses for those who opt to buy the higher model as it comes with triple rear cameras, namely 48MP + 13MP + 8MP shooters, while the shark-fin pop-up mechanism houses the 16MP front camera.
Other features include a USB-C port, in-display fingerprint scanner, face recognition, Dolby Audio, a 4,065mAh battery with VOOC Flash Charge 3.0, and also runs on ColorOS 6 based on Android 9 Pie.
The OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Edition ticks the right boxes and comes with a couple of hallmark features of its own. Most notably, the camera, while not class-leading overall, can zoom farther and offer a clearer picture than pretty much any camera phone out there. The display is big, has almost zero bezels, and is easily the best OPPO has put in a smartphone, while the Snapdragon 855 and battery backup won’t leave you wanting.
