The Oppo Reno 10x Zoom was arguably one of the best-looking smartphones of 2019. The phone launched with ColorOS 6.1 based on Android Pie and was recently updated to ColorOS 7 with Android 10. Now, the handset has started receiving June 2020 security update in China with support for video recording from ultra-wide and periscope telephoto cameras.
Design and Camera are the two main factors of Oppo Reno series. The Reno 10x Zoom was the company’s first commercially available smartphone with a periscope camera. Though the camera featured a 5x optical lens, the brand marketed the device with 10x branding as it can achieve that with hybrid zoom.
That said, like any other Oppo smartphone, it received ColorOS 7 update only in April despite this version of the company’s Android skin was announced in November 2019. Later, in June, the phone received May 2020 security patch update, which also brought VoWiFi support in India along with Dolby support for more Bluetooth earphones.
Now, in July, the handset is receiving June 2020 security patch that also happens to add support for video recording capability from ultra-wide as well as periscope telephoto cameras.
This update is currently limited to users in China and it also seems to have some bugs as per comments by users who have installed it on their device. Anyway, we are not sure when this update will be heading to he global versions of Reno 10x Zoom.
Almost all new phones launched recently are capable of recording videos from all the cameras present on them. Thus, it is good to see Oppo bringing similar support for its older devices via software update so that its users don’t feel left out.
