Design and Display

The Reno series is often planned, explored every year with new materials and finishes. The OPPO Reno5 Pro 5G has a special back panel with matte blue paint with little specks that shimmer under the sun, identical to stars.

It is a fairly ergonomic device, especially with curved front and back panels, with a thickness of 7.6 mm and a weight of only 173 grams. The cameras are installed in a slightly elevated rectangular box from behind.

A Super AMOLED display with a curve resolution of 6.5 inches with full HD+ and a refresh rate of 90 Hz. On the top left, there is a single boom-punch entry and a fingerprint reader in the monitor below. The HDR10+ is also consistent with a maximum brightness of 1,100nits.

Performance

The OPPO Reno5 Pro 5G is India’s first smartphone to pack the newly announced 1000+ chipset Dimension. It incorporates 5G and can at least be an option to Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, on paper.

The OPPO Reno5 Pro 5G will sport a high-performance octa-core architecture alongside 5G at 7 nm as one of India’s first smartphones to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ chipset. Besides the basic 8GB + 128GB version, other variants may also be available.

Software 

OPPO recently confirmed ColorOS 11.1 based on Android 11.  Fortunately, OPPO Reno5 Pro 5G is one of the first smartphones to introduce this application.

Media Player controls will allow you to adjust the display from the notification bar between the connected audio devices. Touch sensitivity can be adapted during games through the floating Game Space window and boosts overall reaction when playing fast-paced FPS titles.

But it’s pretty much because everything else stays the same as the beta, including the Flex Drop floating window function that is difficult to run. Nevertheless, ColorOS 11 is the king of versatility and is also configured in terms of regular multi-tasking and software output in the MediaTek chipset. In combination with a fluid 90 Hz monitor, this allows for a silky smooth software interface.

Camera

A Quad-Camera array is on the back of the OPPO Reno5 Pro 5G: a main 64MP F/17 camera, an ultra-wide 8MP lens, a 2MP macro photographer, and a monochrome 2MP. A 32 MP auto shooter is on the front.

Overall quality is impressive for pictures taken during daylight. Also, pictures are clean and sharp, with the right information. Like the Reno 4 Pro model, the camera often appears to magnify. This is not so much about the hardware as it is all about the AI or the program since it just activates the HDR when work is clearly to be performed on the scene. That’s not the case in most scenarios and this allows certain cut-off highlights to be used.

If you shoot a white bowl of fruit or a person in the background. The images are also very good since the algorithms of OPPO ensure the item is exposed correctly. It is just the HDR that occasionally functions a little slow. The new sensor also has better autofocus and a wider dynamic range around the board, as portrait shots and low-light images.

Battery

The battery life of slim smartphones is typically short. But the Reno5 Pro 5G will impress and offer a whole day of battery life on a single charge, much like the Reno4 Pro. If you play less, you’re able to comfortably accommodate a single charge for around one day and a half battery life, which is so slim for the appliance.

The 65 W SuperVOOC loader is more impressive. It has a 4350 mAh battery which fills up in around 30 minutes and half the battery in just 13 minutes, which is the fastest charge rate you get in this section.

Some AI charging capabilities, such as customized night charges, are enabled by the handset. In the afternoon, your phone will learn about your charging patterns and maximize power input to prevent overloading your battery and therefore not degrading easily. You can also maximize power consumption during sleep mode on the phone.

Final Verdict

The interface visual design of the OPPO Reno5 Pro 5G is unique in the market. The Reno5 Pro 5G delivers all the characteristics of a far more costly flagship device from the premium feel of hand to the fabrics. The 1000+ Axis blends all the output you need except for hard games. New tricks in its sleeves have enhanced the software.

Charge rates are fantastic, while the battery capacity is adequate to see the work of the day. The price of the Reno5 Pro 5G is marginally around 35,990. Well, the Reno5 Pro 5G has decent photos, a good build, but will lag a little behind as they face high-end, flagship processors. Hence, the Reno5 Pro 5G is an excellent option if you are looking for quality design, paired with relatively high-performance images and videos from Instagram.
