After just a year from the first model, the Reno lineup is already in the fourth generation. OPPO just unveiled the Reno4 series composed of the OPPO Reno4 and 4 Pro: both premium mid-rangers and both with 5G connectivity. But are they the mid-rangers with the highest value for money out there or you can find something better in the actual smartphone market? We think there is no better reason to understand this than comparing the new OPPO Reno4 with its most recent rivals in the same price segment. That is why we decided to write a specs comparison between OPPO Reno4, Redmi 10X, and Realme X50, all mid-rangers, all with 5G support.

Design
At first glance, you might not notice important differences between the designs of these three handsets. But if you dig deeper, you find that OPPO Reno4 is more premium than its two rivals. It is more compact, thinner, and even lighter than Redmi 10X and Realme X50. Further, it boasts a glass back and an aluminum frame, while Redmi 10X has a glass back and a plastic frame. It is even more elegant thanks to its camera module sporting the same color as the rear side, and let’s not talk about its higher screen-to-body ratio. I do not like the Redmi 10X so much due to its big and central rear camera module, while Realme X50 looks pretty elegant and it adopts the same materials as the OPPO Reno4, but in a bigger and thicker body.
Display
On the paper, Redmi 10X 5G looks like the device with the most impressive display. It is the only device with a display sporting the HDR10+ certification, and it is AMOLED. But this does not necessarily mean it is a better panel: OPPO always used great AMOLED panels on the Reno lineup, so do not underestimate the Reno4. Unfortunately (at least for most of the potential users), Realme X50 5G has an IPS display, but on the other hand, it supports a high 120 Hz refresh rate and it is one of the most affordable smartphones with a so high refresh rate.
Hardware/Software
The most awesome handset in terms of the hardware department is the Realme X50 5G, at least in its most impressive variant. It sports an amazing Snapdragon 765G chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 2.1 internal storage. Redmi 10X 5G offers the same chipset and less RAM (up to 8 GB), while Redmi 10X looks less interesting with its Dimensity 820 chipset, but it is the only with a micro SD slot to expand the internal storage. Android 10 is installed out of the box on all of these devices, with a highly-customized user interface.
Camera
The winner of the camera comparison is the Realme X50 5G which is equipped with a 64 MP quad camera on the rear side, including a telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. OPPO Reno4 and Redmi 10X are equipped with a triple camera and they lack a telephoto sensor. Further, you may be interested in the fact that Realme X50 5G is the only with a dual ultrawide front camera. OPPO Reno4 has a dual front camera (and its main sensor is even better than Realme X50 5G), but the secondary sensor is just a depth sensor.
Battery
The Redmi 10X 5G should guarantee the longest battery life on a single charge because it sports a bigger 4520 mAh battery and it comes with a standard refresh rate. OPPO Reno4 wins the charging speed battle thanks to its 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 fast charging technology.
Price
OPPO Reno4 is priced about €370/$418 in its base variant, Xiaomi asks just €200/$226 for the Redmi 10X, while Realme X50 5G is priced €220/$248. While Redmi 10X has a higher value for money, OPPO Reno4 and Realme X50 5G look more impressive. There is not a definitive winner of this comparison as you should choose depending on your needs, after checking the pro and cons of each device.
