Design and Display
In a system where new designs are highly appreciated, Oppo seems to be playing a game titled “if it ain’t broke then don’t fix it” they seem to have gotten comfortable with the pattern they began with the Reno 4 series.
To this end, Oppo basically reminisced the design of the earlier released Reno 4 Pro 5G on the newly released Oppo Reno 5 Pro 5G, giving enthusiasts nearly nothing to be super pumped about.
However, enthusiasts who didn’t own the previous Reno may find this design super appreciable, owing to the fact that it’s one of the best designs on upper mid-range smartphones.
On the rear, we have a dual-tone pattern, on which you will find a camera module housing four cameras and an LED flash.
Please note that the smartphone comes in 5 color variations which include Starry Night, Aurora Blue, Moonlight black, and Star wish red.
The Cameras
The rear camera section bears the major upgrade in the camera department. It bears a 64MP primary camera in lieu of the 48MP we had on the Reno 4 Pro 5G and the standard Reno 5 5G.
The other cameras on the rear of the Oppo Reno 5 include an 8MP f/2.2, a 2MP macro camera with an aperture of f/2.2, and a 2MP depth camera with an aperture of f/2.4.
Selfies are manned by the same single 32MP camera with an aperture of f/2.4 as seen on its predecessor.
Hardware and Software
The performance hardware on the Oppo Reno 5 Pro 5G is championed by an Octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ processor in lieu of the Snapdragon 765 processor as seen on the preceding Reno 4 Pro 5G and the standard Reno 5 5G.
The other performance facilitators include a Mali-G77 MC9 GPU, options for either 8GB or 12GB of RAM, 128GB or 256GB storage options. Give life to this Android smartphone is a non-removable 4350mAh battery, which is by 350mAh bigger than the battery on its predecessor.
On the software side, the Oppo Reno 5 Pro 5G runs the ColorOS 11.1 user interface on top of the Android 11 operating system.
