OPPO took the industry by storm when it released the Reno series comprising the OPPO Reno 10x zoom and the Reno. Later the Reno Z joined the fray. The Reno 10x zoom is unarguably the top of the pack model but if you can’t afford the price tag, the Reno is a worthy replacement with mid-range specs, including a Snapdragon 710 SoC and without the periscope camera. 
The Reno still retains the design of the flagship 10x zoom variant including the amazing triangular pop-up shooter that houses the selfie camera on one side and the LED flash for the rear snappers on the other side.
The OPPO Reno has now been subjected to the durability test process of Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything fame. There’s hardly the possibility that phones would go through the sort of torture that characterizes the test. However, it gives us an idea of how the phone fares under extreme conditions in real life.
First off, the YouTuber subjected the phone to a scratch test. The scratch test doesn’t really reveal anything out of the ordinary. Since there is a Gorilla Glass protection over the screen, the device will scratch at similar levels on the Mohs hardness scale. The device was also subjected to the rather pointless flame test which turns the AMOLED pixels white after around thirty seconds, and they never quite recover.
The one that interests us the most is the bend test. The only snag is that the glass back separates from the frame, perhaps due to weak adhesive but there is no irreversible damage to the phone.
