Design and Display
Its ergonomics is well laid out by the edge-to-edge bezel-less display, side-swing pop-up camera and triple rear cameras. On top of this display is the Corning Gorilla Glass 6 that’s designed to withstand the toughest of adverse conditions. That way, you’re given the grace of worrying less about your device’s screen cracking.
Dimension-wise, the Oppo Reno 5G is the same as the Reno 10x Zoom. However, it’s a tad heavier than its sibling with the 215g weight.
Away from that, the AMOLED screen retains its 6.6-inch size and 1080 x 2340 pixels resolution. The 19.5:9 aspect ratio and 85.5% screen-to-body ratio allow for complete immersion in multimedia entertainment.
Battery and Camera
Utilizing the VOOC Flash Charge, the Oppo Reno 5G is quickly recharged when its 4,065mAh battery gets low. More so, there’s USB On-The-Go for sharing power when your secondary devices need some charge.
Three cameras – 48MP wide, 13MP periscope telephoto and 8MP ultra-wide lenses are situated at the top central portion of the smartphone’s back. A dual-LED flash is assembled below the camera setup for illumination duties.
Not to forget the stellar 16MP camera that pops up like a shark fin when selfies are to be taken. After popping up, if you switch the camera to the rear, you’ll need to wait a bit for the shark-fin camera to close.
Hardware and Software
The 5G connectivity is enabled on the Oppo Reno 5G thanks to the Qulcomm 5G modem that’s supported by the Snapdragon 855 SoC. This latest chip from the US chip makers possesses an octa-core CPU with max speed of 2.84GHz. Its Adreno 640 GPU is primed for excellent graphics especially during gaming.
Android 9.0 Pie and the Color OS 6 control software duties on the phone. Back to hardware, an 8GB RAM sorts out multitasking while a 256GB ROM handles internal storage. An additional 256GB storage can be added through a MicroSD card.
Oppo Reno 5G Price and Availability
