Chinese tech giant OPPO has launched the Reno models for the global market. The models will soon be available to buy in Europe. The Reno was first unveiled in China a couple of weeks back bearing a 10X zoom version. 
The OPPO Reno models comprise of the Reno, Reno 10X Zoom edition and now a Reno 5G. The OPPO Reno 10X Zoom Edition elicits more excitement and the 5G version also bundles the 10X zoom edition features. While the standard edition is powered by a Snapdragon 710 chipset, the Reno 10x zoom edition packs a Snapdragon 855 chipset. Both models look very similar but there are some few differences in their designs. The 10x zoom edition packs a 6.65-inch AMOLED display while the standard model has a smaller 6.4-inch display. Both displays are near bezel-less, devoid of any form of screen notch. The Reno models use a similar 16MP shark fin-shaped pop-up camera design for the selfies. The locations of the power button on the right and the volume rockers on the left side of the display are consistent on both models. Further, both the standard and 10X zoom edition of the Reno come with USB-C ports and the SIM card slot is located on the left side of the USB-C port while there is a speaker grill on the right. 
The back panel is where you will find most of the significant differences between the two models. The major highlight of the 10x zoom model is the 10X hybrid zoom technology which it features. It packs three rear cameras; a 48MP high-definition main camera + 13 MP periscope telephoto lens + 8 MP super wide-angle lens. At the same time, the device uses dual optical image stabilization (OIS), triple focus, and can take a true and clear 10x zoom photo without a tripod. The model will only be available in 8GB RAM + 256GB storage option.
On its part, the standard Reno comes with a dual camera setup as it lacks the 10x zoom feature. OPPO Reno standard edition features OIS-assisted 48MP + 5MP dual camera module on its rear aspect. This version comes in 6GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB variant. Both phones have in-display fingerprint readers, stereo speakers and VOOC 3.0 charging, however, only the Reno 10x zoom offers Dolby Audio and a slightly larger battery. The vanilla Reno does get a 3.5mm headphone jack, which the premium model lacks.
OPPO Reno 5G
OPPO also announced that it has partnered with Swisscom (Switzerland), EE (UK), SingTel (Singapore), Telstra and Optus (Australia) to launch the Reno 5G version globally. The Reno 5G is based on the flagship 10X zoom edition and may grab the crown as the first 5G phone to be available in Europe. Swisscom launched its 5G network in Zurich just two weeks ago. EE will trial its 5G network at the Glastonbury Festival scheduled to hold in late June.
