A few weeks ago, Oppo took the wraps off its new flagship lineup — Oppo Reno. So far, the company has launched two models of the series in China — Oppo Reno and Oppo Reno 10X Zoom Edition.
The phone, which is currently available for pre-order in China and before the device goes up for sale, here’s the teardown of the Reno 10X Zoom Edition, explaining the internals of the flagship smartphone.
Removing the plastic back cover of the phone reveals that it is connected to the NFC chip. The company has made some changes on both sides of the cover, including the addition of grooves for heat dissipation gel and to make the wire turn to the flash.
Moving ahead, we can see the two major highlights of the smartphone — the new and unique pop-up camera mechanism and the 10X hybrid zoom triple-camera setup for the back panel. Because of these two features, the PCB board or the motherboard layout is quite compact compared to others.
It seems that the device offers a good level of heat dissipation on the motherboard. It has metal shields on both the front as well as the back and a uniform copper foil. Also, silicone grease and gel have been added to the front and the back side of the CPU core area.
There’s also soft protective ring protection around the BTB and the lens for the protection and is not much difficult to take it apart. However, the precision and the quality used for this definitely looks like a flagship-grade device.
The smartphone has a unique pop-up mechanism and so does its implementation and layout under the hood. It combines a front camera, soft light, an earpiece, a microphone, and a rear flash on the asymmetrical rotating structure and the stepper motor is placed on the right side. The volume of the transmission part is also small and has a seven-toothed gear that reduces movement sound.
The whole pop-up mechanism is made up of a circular motion which centers on one point on the right side of the fuselage. The guide rail is made of a metal frame which offers much higher stability.
Coming to the major highlight — the 10X Hybrid Zoom camera setup — it comes with a 48 MP primary sensor, an 8 MP wide-angle lens, and a 13 MP telephoto lens. These three lenses are held together in an L-shaped arrangement and are fixed by a gel.
It seems that the periscope lens, which measures 11.5 x 5.7 x 24.5 mm, is separately packaged in another metal cover. When opened, along with the CMOS for the general lens, it can be seen that the lens and the refractive prism are much larger than the conventional size. The company has also customized the lens module to cut the circular lens further in parallel, reducing the volume occupation, which is the origin of the D-Cut module. To achieve the anti-shake effect, the company uses electromagnetic control.

Overall, the internal structure of the Oppo Reno 10X Hybrid Zoom Edition is quite compact. As with the unique pop-up mechanism, the internals for the same is also executive a bit differently. It also takes care of the heat dissipation and offers protections for regular usage. So, the phone does have the flagship grade build quality.
