OPPO Reno10 5G 256 GB / 8 GB

Portrait camera

OPPO is positioning the smartphone as an expert in portrait photography. And for the mid-price segment, its cameras are really good. For selfies, there is a 32 MP front camera, and the main camera consists of three sensors: a 64 MP main (f/1.7), a 32 MP telephoto (f/2.0) and an 8 MP ultra-wide lens with a viewing angle of 112 degrees. The camera can shoot video in 4K resolution at 30 fps and supports 2x optical zoom and 20x digital zoom. The Portrait Expert Engine, which optimizes images of the face, skin and background, bokeh to blur the background and other effects, will help improve portrait shots. In general, the frames are decent, noise-free, with good detail and rich colors. For photos and videos in a personal archive or for social networks - just the thing.

Design

Another feature of the smartphone is its design. The back panel, although made of plastic, does not look cheap. The entire body has a streamlined shape: the front and back parts are curved on the sides towards each other, resting against a thin frame. Displays with curved edges have their fans and detractors, so be sure to consider this nuance before purchasing: many find this design stylish and elegant, but some find it impractical. In any case, the smartphone itself visually leaves a pleasant impression and is quite easy to use. The thickness of the case is slightly less than 8 mm, and the weight is only 185 g, that is, the gadget is not too bulky. A nice bonus is the inclusion of a transparent silicone case, which does not block the beautiful colors and does not spoil the appearance of the device.

Confident average level

Otherwise, the characteristics are fully consistent with the middle class. The 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support provides crisp, rich colors, smooth animations and allows you to play video content in excellent quality. Its brightness is far from record-breaking - a maximum of 800 nits, but, in general, this is enough for both outdoors and indoors. There is an under-screen fingerprint scanner, 5G support, stereo speakers, NFC and an infrared port for remote control of household appliances. A capacious 5000 mAh battery guarantees a whole day of autonomy, or even more, depending on the activity of use. And fast charging with a power of 67 W will replenish the charge by 31% in just 10 minutes. It will take about 45 minutes to fully charge. OPPO has worked on the durability of the device and assures that for 4 years the smartphone will maintain performance and stability, and the battery capacity will remain at 80% after 1600 cycles (this is approximately the same 4 years of operation). It is not yet possible to verify this, since the model was released in 2023, so we can only take the manufacturer’s word for it.

The MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor is installed inside, although at this price I would like something more powerful. There will be no problems with more or less simple games, interface and programs, and the smartphone does not suffer from overheating, but you will not be able to play demanding games comfortably. Testing in the AnTuTu benchmark shows a result of 566 thousand points, although many competitors with the same price tag have higher scores. For example, Realme 11 Pro is equipped with the same processor, but has a more attractive price. The model is available in one version with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal memory. You can increase this volume using a microSD memory card, which is installed instead of the second SIM card.

The conclusion is that the OPPO Reno10 5G price seems a little high based on its performance, but these nuances are overshadowed by the cameras and design. Therefore, the model is suitable for users who are looking for a beautiful camera phone primarily for taking photos and videos.
