Recently, the Oppo Reno 10 series went official in China. Just like the last two generations, the mainline Chinese lineup consists of three models.
These devices are officially called Oppo Reno 10, Oppo Reno 10 Pro, and Oppo Reno 10 Pro Plus. Unsurprisingly, the latter model has the best set of features.
In fact, we think that the Oppo Reno 10 Pro Plus is the best Reno series smartphone (at least on paper) in a very long time. It offers almost all the important features consumers expect from a premium handset.
If you want a proper flagship smartphone from Oppo, the Find X series is still the one to buy. But this lineup is limited to select markets, unlike Reno.
Further, the Reno 10 Pro Plus is expected to release in more regions than the previous pro plus models. So it will be the most premium Oppo phone in many markets.
Considering this, the Reno 10 Pro Plus seems like a good device overall. But what makes it special? Let’s go through the answer to this question.
1. Beautiful Design
The Oppo Reno phones are known for their design, and the Reno 10 Pro Plus is no exception. Since design is subjective, some may not like the looks of the new Reno.
However, it is difficult for people not to appreciate the device’s dimensions. Despite packing a lot of things inside, It measures only 8.28mm in thickness and weighs about 194g.
Both the front display glass and the rear glass of the handset are curved to offer a comfortable grip. Finally, it arrives in two lively colors (Twilight Purple and Brilliant Gold) and one standard color (Moonsea Black).
2. Stunning Display
The Oppo Reno 10 Pro Plus sports a 6.74-inch centered punch-hole curved OLED display with a 93.9% screen-to-body ratio. The 10-bit panel comes with a resolution of 2772 x 1240 pixels, 450 PPI, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 240Hz touch sampling rate.
The screen can reach a peak brightness level of 1400 nits during HDR playback. Even in standard HBM (High Brightness Mode), it can touch up to 1100 nits.
Lastly, the display supports a 4-stage adaptive refresh rate technology and covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut.
3. Powerful Internals
The Oppo Reno 10 Pro Plus is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. This chip is the second-most powerful mobile SoC from Qualcomm.
The chipset is further paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. This hardware combo is more than enough to ensure smooth performance throughout the product’s life.
The phone also uses Oppo’s self-developed MariSilicon X chip for image processing.
4. Great Cameras
Oppo Reno smartphones are known for their cameras. In the beginning, the company focussed more on hardware but later switched to focus more on software-based features.
Years later, the Oppo Reno 10 Pro Plus brings back the hardware prowess with a proper three-lens camera system. The device includes wide, ultra-wide, and periscope zoom lenses.
The handset’s camera setup comprises an OIS-assisted 50MP Sony IMX890 primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, a 64MP 3x periscope shooter with OIS, and a 32MP Sony IMX709 RGBW selfie camera with autofocus.
The Reno 5 Pro Plus from 2021 was the last Reno phone with a zoom lens. On the other hand, the 2019 Reno 10x Zoom was the only other Reno handset with a periscope lens.
5. Nifty Features
The Oppo Reno Reno 10 Pro Plus comes with a few quality-of-life features that enhance the overall experience of using the smartphone.
The device houses Hi-Res Audio-certified linear dual stereo speakers. It also sports an x-axis linear vibration motor to offer 4D vibration.
Further, it arrives with an infrared sensor, which was previously mostly limited to Xiaomi handsets. There’s also support for dual-band GNSS for more accurate positioning and NFC for contactless payments and transit passes.
Last but not least, the phone supports multiple charging protocols, such as all generations of SuperVOOC as well as VOOC, Qualcomm Quick Charge (QC) 2.0, and USB Power Delivery (PD).
