Oppo is fairly new to the market, but they are a large Chinese technology manufacturer that has a great handle on what customers want, and the prices they will pay. They are fast becoming a big name, and you will be hearing more from them in the future. All the handsets that they have released are proving to be first rate, and this is helping them build a strong reputation as they break into the UK market.

Oppo Reno 5G Design and Display

Oppo favours the infinity style screen, which is a smart move as generally so do customers. Such is their desire to bring the true infinity styling they have created innovative ways to deal with the front-facing camera, and in this case, it is a quirky motorised pop up that looks really neat. The overall look f the handset is good, and it has a glass front and back completed with an aluminium frame. It is a nice larger handset, which is another popular move as customers are loving the larger handsets as it offers the freedom to stream films and play games as well as the many other functions on offer. Oppo seems determined to break from colour traditions, and their handsets tend to be bright and innovative, and the Oppo Reno 5G is one of their few black handsets but if you prefer you can have the stunning Ocean Green version. The handset weighs in at 215g, making it on the heavier side, but this helps give it a secure feeling when held in one hand.

As with most of their handsets, the glass is Corning Gorilla Glass 6 which is the top rating glass at the moment so means your handset has that extra bit of toughness when it comes to the bumps and scrapes of everyday life. Of course, you could get a case to add to the protection as there is nothing worse than breaking your phone. The screen measures in at 6.6 inches and it is an AMOLED capacitive touchscreen boasting16M colours. The pixels are 1080x2340; there is a PPI density of 390 and an aspect ratio of 19.5:9, which is perfect for watching things in full-screen mode. There is a screen to body ratio of 85.5%, which is high thanks to the true infinity style display.

Turning the handset over there is quite a lot going on, the camera housing is big and bold and is arranged with the three lenses stacked in a traffic light arrangement with the LED flash as well. There is then a large branding logo which is well designed and adds to the effect.

Oppo Reno 5G Audio

The audio performance for the Oppo Reno 5G is really good, and that is thanks in part to the addition of Dolby audio which always helps. There is a nice volume level, so if you want to watch or listen in a relatively quiet room, you will have no problems. In this case, there is not a standard 3.5mm headphone jack as the current trend is to remove them to utilise the wireless capabilities of the phone.

Oppo Reno 5G Camera

So, on the rear of the Oppo Reno 5G there is as mentioned a triple camera arrangement which features 48 MP, f/1.7, 26mm (wide), 1/2.0", 0.8µm, Laser/PDAF, OIS Periscope , a 13 MP, f/3.0, 130mm (telephoto), 5x optical zoom, Laser/PDAF, OIS and a 8 MP, f/2.2, 16mm (ultrawide). These are supported by a dual-LED flash, HDR and panorama. On the front, as already mentioned, there is a motorised pop-up, so the camera is not visible at all times. The pop-up function is a quirky triangular piece that brings the Motorized pop-up 16 MP, f/2.0, 26mm (wide) HDR into use. All of the cameras can record video.

Oppo Reno 5G Features & Performance

Oppo seems to only work with Qualcomm and who can blame them as the quality is good. Inside this handset, you have the Qualcomm SDM855 Snapdragon 855 (7 nm) chipset with the Octa-core (1x2.84 GHz Kryo 485 & 3x2.42 GHz Kryo 485 & 4x1.8 GHz Kryo 485) CPU and the Adreno 640 GPU. Ranking highest in their fold this handset comes running Android 9.0 Pie which is the latest incarnation and with the newest ColorOS 6 skin over the top.

The battery is pretty hefty and is a 4065mAh which gives you more than enough in the way of power even if you are out and about for a long day. There is no need to carry a charger as you will easily get back to the plug at night and the handset uses a cable to charge with Fast battery charging 20W (VOOC Flash Charge). In terms of storage, you get 26GB built in which is a good size, and there is 8GB of RAM. However, this can be doubled if you make use of the microSD slot which means you can add a card of up to 256GB more.

Summary

The Oppo Reno 5G is a delightful offering that brings something different in a sea of Android clones. It is well designed, and we love the pop-up camera concept as it negates the need for cutouts on the screen.
