Oppo Reno 5
Turning the device on, we found one of the most sought-after displays, that is, an AMOLED panel. The competent 6.43 inches FHD+ AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 430 nits and offers wonderful visibility outdoors. You’re always protected with the Corning Gorilla Glass 6 attached on both sides of the phone.
Memory and Internal
Similar to the Reno 4 5G, the successor equips the same Snapdragon 765G chipset that still offers great versatile performance. Surprisingly, it is one of the fastest processors in the mid-range segment. You should expect quick application openings, smooth animations, and the device can really keep a ton of apps in memory. The Reno 5 can easily play any high-end game, such as COD Mobile or PUBG, with the innovative Adreno 620 GPU.
Under the hood, the device runs on top of the redefined Color OS 7 based on Android 11. Because it is a custom skin, it has a lot to offer, like Oppo Lab, floating windows, night stand-by, and more.
The next thing to focus on is the memory configuration. There are two memory configurations – one is 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of internal storage and the other is 12 GB of RAM with a huge 256 GB of storage. Both options look promising when it comes to memory management and data transfer speeds. The company ignored SD card support due to the large internal storage.
Camera
Oppo renewed the camera module with a 64 MP quad-camera that turns the table in relation to its predecessor. With the combination of 64 MP main camera, 8 MP ultrawide, 2 MP macro, and 2 MP depth sensor cameras, you can click on great photos with new perspectives. The main sensor pressures are rich in details and colors while increasing specific colors.
Moving forward, the macro camera capture excellent details alongside a pleasant bokeh effect. The camera software includes several proprietary features, such as smart slow motion, monochrome videos, ultra-stable videos, etc.
With a 32 MP high-resolution front selfie camera, the device maintains the essence of Oppo phones. We can get crisp and fascinating selfies photos. As for low light photos, the Reno 5 is an accurate sniper with low noise.
Battery and Others
One of the biggest reasons to buy the Oppo Reno 5 is the 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 charger. Interestingly, Oppo announces that its advanced charger can recharge your phone’s battery up to 100% in just 36 minutes. The 4300mAh Li-Po battery should provide enough screen over time based on your activities.
The most important part of any phone is the price. The speculated market price is $ 536 (39,999 INR) and may vary by region.
