Oppo Reno review: Hands-on | Techniical Guru

The Oppo Reno boasts the strangest slider yet: a pivoting pop-up selfie camera that slides out at an angle

Oppo Reno Hands On

Oppo Reno full review

We thought that when we came in front of a selfie camera, we have seen all this: notches, punch-hole, slider, pop-ups and even Vivo Apex Concept phones which do not have a selfie camera. Next comes something new with Oppo Reno: a 'Pivot Rising Camera' which exits the phone body at an angle.

Oppo has launched Reno with a premium 10x zoom plus 5G model, but if you want a pop-up without breaking the bank, then regular Renault is where it is. Oppo Reno comes with a mid-range price and brings all the amazing features under the hood. For efficient and fast performance, it can give a strong configuration which will be appreciated by users. Battery backup is also sufficient, which provides a big backup for the day's activity. Overall, this is a complete device that meets all users' needs.

Price and availability

Oppo has not yet confirmed the UK price or the release date for any Reno model, but we have information for Europe. Reno will be available for € 499 (roughly £ 430) from May, so expect to see it later in the UK, and possibly likely to be around £ 500 - somewhere along with Rx 17 Pro , Which was £ 549 in the UK. .

The price of the 10x zoom model will be € 799 - but comes with a better camera (together, you have guessed that it is 10x zoom), big screen, and faster processor - while the 5G model is faster for € 899 Provides Internet connectivity.

Premium pop-up

The pop-up selfie camera is nothing new, at least not from smartphone standards. Design has been used in some phones, including Oppo's own Find X, which has a selfie camera that slips away from the top of the house to avoid coming in the way of the display.

Reno is fundamentally the same, but takes it from a different angle - quite literally. The 16Mp selfie camera is placed inside the phone's body, and automatically slips from the top when needed. But instead of moving vertically, it turns out at an angle, reveals something that looks unconscious like a fish's feather at the top of the phone.

Practically, there is not much to differentiate it from the slider on Find X, except that it also has flash and earpieces. With a broad base it looks like it can be a bit strong (although Oppo says it should last 5 years on 100 slides), and if it enters the free fall, the phone will automatically return the mechanism Uses drop detection to take.

Of course, the point is not really pop-up: this is the screen. Reno packs a 6.4in AMOLED panel (slightly smaller than the 6.6in screen in 10x zoom and 5G versions) to the selfie camera, with absolutely no seamless screen, by any step or cutout. Basically goes from the shore.

However, according to your opinion, the appeal of a proper full-screen phone is difficult to overcome, and while Reno is rarely alone, it is still a major selling point on most other flagship - especially when Apple, Samsung and Big names like Huawei Still not found there.

It helps that the display here is beautiful and crisp, which has beautiful colors and HDR support. It is not 4K, so alone it can not match the top panels in some of the major rivals, but it is actually a grand performance in the person, along with the lack of a notch or cutout, with it the best panels Is one of them. Surrounding the video to watch or play games

Flagship feel

For the rest of Reno, this is the most prominent part. The design is in line with other major releases this year, and with a track record of Oppo, a colorful gradient finish for the Gorilla Glass Rear - is available in black, green, purple, or pink. It is a mat to touch, so some glass can not be slippery or shiny as the phone, and the whole thing looks completely solid.

A welcome point in physical design is that there is no camera bump in it, in which the camera lenses are placed under the rear lens, which flush completely against the body. This is similar to the recent LG G8 ThinQue but there are Downsides for design: it is super slippery, and it leaves the lens weak to scratch.

Oppo thinks that it has been solved, named in the form of 'o-dot': a silly name for a slightly emitted place under the lens, which sits at a slight angle on a flat surface Will help to keep the camera up to the lens. Scratches them free. It is surrounded by green-green gem impact for good measure. It's really a great design touch - it's subtle enough that it does not burn and the phone is not rocking downward while it's lying down, but just enough to increase the brain of scratch-paranoid is.

Talking about those cameras, you get 48Mp main lens (similar to the pre-emptive Reno model), but it is supported by the 5Mp depth-sensing lens instead of the Reno 103 zoom and 5G triple lens design.

Final verdict

If you are here for the camera, then Oppo Reno is not more exciting than the number of that mega-megapixel. But as a cheap way to get a full-screen phone with that crazy pop-up, it is easy to see why Renault can appeal.

The design is slow and the specs are solid - if the top-of-the-line is not there - and if the price for the IPO release can be around 500 pounds, then it can be a contender until you are very worried. Packing your phone the latest processor.
