The global version of the OPPO Reno4 Pro is official and it just hitten the Indian shelves. But it is a totally different device from the Reno4 Pro we saw in the Chinese market. That is why the previous comparisons we made which include the Reno4 Pro do not make any sense for the Indian market. If you are from India and from other markets in which the handset will be released, you might find a comparison between the Reno4 Pro and the other best value for money phones very useful. At least if you are looking for a new mid-ranger. That is why we decided to compare the OPPO Reno4 Pro with the OnePlus Nord and the Realme X3 SuperZoom.

Design
At first glance, there is no doubt about the fact that with Oppo Reno4 Pro you get the most stunning design. First of all, it has a more impressive look, with a higher screen-to-body ratio and curved edges, as well as a single punch hole. Further, it is the thinnest and the most lightweight smartphone of this trio. Unfortunately, it does not come with a premium glass back but it is made of plastic. Both Realme X3 SuperZoom and OnePlus Nord have a glass back, despite they look less gorgeous in terms of aesthetics. Do you prefer having premium materials or a thinner and more lightweight phone?
Display
OnePlus Nord and Oppo Reno4 Pro offer the best displays and they are more or less at the same level when it comes to the display quality. They pack a Full HD+ AMOLED panel including a 90 Hz refresh rate and HDR10 (OnePlus Nord gets HDR10+). Realme X3 SuperZoom has an even higher refresh rate (120 Hz), but it comes with a classic IPS panel and the image quality is inferior. That is why we would go either for the Oppo Reno4 Pro or the OnePlus Nord.
Hardware/Software
The most powerful hardware department belongs to the Realme X3 SuperZoom which is the only one to have flagship-class hardware. It is powered by the Snapdragon 855+ mobile platform (it was the best Qualcomm’s flagship SoC in 2019), it packs up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.0 internal storage. But despite its flagship hardware, it lacks 5G connectivity. OnePlus Nord is less powerful, but it supports 5G. That is why some people may prefer it despite its inferior processor. Oppo Reno4 Pro lacks both 5G and a flagship chipset.
Camera
OnePlus Nord wins the camera comparison with a 48 MP quad-camera supporting OIS, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, a 5 MP macro lens, and a 2 MP depth sensor. Further, it packs an ultrawide front camera including a 32 MP main sensor and an 8 MP ultrawide lens. It is the most complete camera department. But Oppo Reno4 Pro is still a pretty nice camera phone with its bright focal aperture and its Sony main sensor. Realme X3 SuperZoom has an inferior main sensor, but it has the best zoom capabilities thanks to the 8 MP periscope lens with 5x optical zoom. Oppo Reno4 Pro and OnePlus Nord do not even have a telephoto sensor. Just like the OnePlus Nord, the Realme X3 SuperZoom has a 32 MP dual ultrawide front camera.
Battery
There should be only marginal differences between the battery life of these phones. Unfortunately, we had no chance to test all the batteries; judging from the specs on the paper, OnePlus Nord has higher potentialities. But Oppo Reno4 Pro has the fastest charging technology and it can fill its battery in just 36 minutes with its 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 technology.
Price
Oppo Reno4 Pro starts from Rs. 34,990 ($467) in India, the price of the Realme X3 SuperZoom is Rs. 27,999 ($374), and OnePlus Nord costs Rs. 24,999 ($333). The OnePlus Nord looks like the most complete device with its great cameras, 5G, good battery, and a very nice display. Realme X3 SuperZoom wins the performance comparison and it is definitely the best one for gamers. The Oppo Reno4 Pro sits in the middle with a better design and faster charging technology, as well as a good camera department.
