Back in May, Oppo rolled out the Android 12-based ColorOS 12 beta update for Oppo Reno 10x Zoom and Oppo Reno Ace. Earlier this month, the company revealed that it will be delivering the stable release on June 28. As promised, the company started pushing the stable update yesterday.

According to the official announcement posts on Oppo Community, the ColorOS 12 stable update based on Android 12 for Oppo Reno 10x Zoom is currently available in China and India. Whereas, the same update for Oppo Reno Ace is limited to China as the device did not make its way to international markets.

It is worth noting that the update is also live for the special editions of these handsets, such as Oppo Reno FC Barcelona Edition (customized Reno 10x Zoom) and Oppo Reno Ace Gundam Edition.

As usual, the OTA software update is being pushed in batches. Therefore, it will take some time to reach all units. But every user should get access to the update in the coming days, including those in other regions as well. 

The Oppo Reno 10x Zoom and Oppo Reno Ace debuted with Android 9.0 Pie-based ColorOS 6. Hence, ColorOS 12 based on Android 12 is their third as well as the last major software update. They are Oppo’s first smartphones to receive three Android updates.

Oppo has almost finished rolling out the Android 12-based ColorOS 12 update for eligible smartphones worldwide. The devices that are left are either budget models or very old flagships. The Oppo Reno 10x Zoom and Oppo Reno Ace come under the latter category. Users of these two phones can finally try Android 12 via a beta program.

According to schedules (China and global) shared by Oppo earlier this month, the ColorOS 12 beta initiative based on Android 12 for Oppo Reno 10x Zoom and Oppo Reno Ace is supposed today (May 17). However, the company had already opened registrations yesterday (May 16) and the window closes today itself for the first batch.

The beta program is also applicable to the special edition models. Hence, even users of Oppo Reno FC Barcelona Edition (customized Reno 10x Zoom) and Oppo Reno Ace Gundam Edition can apply for Android 12 beta testing.

The only requirement is that the users should be on the following firmware builds.

• Oppo Reno 10x Zoom

  • China – F.12
  • India – F.49

• Oppo Reno Ace

  • China – F.12

All they have to do is navigate to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon >  Apply for Beta version > Update Beta Version and follow on-screen instructions. Selected applicants will receive the beta software via OTA.

There’s no official word on the release date of the stable update yet. However, we can expect it to arrive in a month or two.

Having said that, Android 12 is the third and the last major software update for the aforementioned smartphones. They are the first-gen Oppo smartphones to receive three Android updates.

Recruitment for the ColorOS 12 closed beta program has started for the OPPO Reno Ace and Reno 10x Zoom in China, hinting at an imminent global update rollout for the duo.

With a post on the community forums, OPPO announced that OPPO Reno Ace and Reno 10x Zoom can now apply to receive the Android 12-based ColorOS 12 update before everyone else as part of the internal testing. Of course, updates rolled out through the internal testing channel may be plagued with deal-breaking bugs so it’s advised to only apply from a device that’s not your primary one.

OPPO warns that testers may run into bugs, abnormal power consumption, and app compatibility issues, so it’s advisable to not apply if you’re looking for a stable experience right now.

The recruitment already commenced on March 28 and will last until March 29, 18:00 CST so you’d want to hurry. To apply, head over to Settings > Software Update > Click the settings icon on the screen > Apply for Beta Version > Update Beta Version. Just make sure you’ve updated to the latest ColorOS 11 stable build (firmware version F.11/F.12) beforehand.

Now that ColorOS 12 is available as closed betas for the OPPO Reno Ace and Reno 10x Zoom in China, a global rollout shouldn’t take much longer. Of course, there will be a beta program first, starting with China which will then expand to more regions, so sit tight.

Remember when the smartphone industry was suddenly obsessed with how much the rear cameras could zoom in? We saw flagship devices from Xiaomi and Samsung with crazy camera setups capable of zooming in a hundred times, and boy did the duo brag about it. OPPO had done its own bit during the time, hopping onto the bandwagon with a phone dedicated to making stuff appear bigger — and such was the dedication that it even had ‘Zoom’ in its name.

We are talking about the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom that did exactly what its name implied — zoom in ten times — 5x optical followed by 10x hybrid. And if that wasn’t enough, the device even had a rather unconventional, tipsy slide-out mechanism for the selfie camera, all in all, making it a pretty unique offering.

Point is, it would have sucked if OPPO would’ve abandoned such a memorable phone since it’s now almost a couple of years old. There indeed are not-to-be-named Android OEMs guilty of doing so, but that’s not the case with our OPPO.

Not only has it made it the Reno 10x Zoom eligible to an impressive 4 years of security updates but also seems exceptionally quick in rolling them out.

The OPPO Reno 10x Zoom has just received the January 2022 security update in December itself, making it one of the first phones, if not the very first, to get it (via BongGeek). The update changelog doesn’t say much other than notifying about the security patch version, but needless to say, it’s all quite impressive.

The update comes at a time when OPPO is already rolling out ColorOS 12 based on Android 12 for its devices — something that the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom is thankfully eligible for. According to the official ColorOS 12 beta timeline, the phone is scheduled to get it in the first half of 2022.

OPPO has undoubtedly been killing it when it comes to updates and we hope to see more of the good stuff in the future.

In late January, OPPO started recruiting ColorOS 11 (Android 11) beta testers for the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom in India and Indonesia. Now, one and a half months later, the company has begun to release the stable update for this handset in the said regions.

Last week, OPPO shared the ColorOS 11 update plan for the month of March 2021. As per the timeline, the OEM was supposed to roll out the stable update for the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom on March 9. And the smartphone maker did the same.

OPPO has been rolling out the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Android 11 stable update in India and Indonesia since yesterday. In order to download and install the latest system update, users will need to navigate to Settings > Software Updates > Gear Icon > Official Version Application and mark the ‘I Agree’ checkbox before tapping on ‘Apply Now’.

In other words, the update is currently only available for users who apply for it manually as mentioned above. Anyway, it should be available for the users without application in the coming days.

That said, the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom ColorOS 11 stable update comes with firmware versions C.33 and C.34 for India and Indonesia respectively. In order to apply for this update, users need to be on build number F.40.

Android 11 could be the last major system update for the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom. Because OPPO is not known for providing three Android updates. The phone was launched with Android 9.0 Pie and was updated to Android 10 (ColorOS 7.x) last year.

OPPO has been rolling out ColorOS 11 update to the eligible smartphones since it was announced back in mid-September 2020. The latest version of the company’s mobile operating system is based on Android 11 and it brings some interesting features. That said, the brand has now started recruiting beta testers for OPPO Reno 10x in India and Indonesia.

Earlier this month, OPPO shared the ColorOS 11 update rollout plan for the month of January 2021. According to it, the company is supposed to start rolling out beta builds for OPPO Reno2 F in India and OPPO Reno 10x Zoom in both India and Indonesia starting today (January 26).

Following the schedule, the Chinese smartphone maker has been recruiting beta testers for the Reno2 F for the past few days. Now, yesterday, the brand has opened registrations for the Reno 10x Zoom as well.

In order to apply for the beta program, your OPPO Reno 10x Zoom should be either on firmware version C.33 or C.22. If it is, then head over to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Apply for Beta Version > Update Beta Version and follow the on-screen instructions. If your application gets selected, you will be receiving the ColorOS 11 beta build via update.

As mentioned earlier, this program is currently limited to India and Indonesia only. Users in other regions will have to wait and also, even for these two countries, there’s no telling when the final stable rollout will begin for all the users.

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.

Oppo has been updating its devices to ColorOS 7 based on Android 10 for weeks now. But it is yet to roll out updates in all the regions. Two weeks back, the Chinese smartphone maker updated some of its handsets like Reno 2, Reno Z, F11 series, and others in some global markets. Now, today, the official Twitter account of ColorOS shared update timeline for 17 smartphones sold in countries across Europe and Australia.

Here’s the list of 17 Oppo devices and their respective ColorOS 7 update timeline for Europe and Australia.

As usual, the updates will be rolled out in batches and hence it may take time to reach every device. Optionally, users can go to Settings -> Software Update on their phones to manually check and download the update during the given time.

Oppo announced ColorOS 7 in November of 2019 but unfortunately, the company has only now started to roll out stable updates to the first batch of devices in China. Currently, six devices are receiving the update. Hopefully, the brand will seed out the ColorOS 7 stable update to more devices in the coming days.

The handsets that are currently receiving the ColorOS 7 stable update are as follow.

• Oppo Reno
• Oppo Reno FC Barcelona Edition
• Oppo Reno Inspiration Edition
• Oppo Reno 10x Zoom Edition
• Oppo Reno Ace
• Oppo Reno Ace Gundam Edition

As you can see from the list above, only the premium and a couple of mid-rangers are being treated with ColorOS 7, which itself is about 5 months old now. Even, the company has now moved on to ColorOS 7.1, which debuted on the recently launched Oppo Find X2 and Find X2 Pro.

Oppo has failed in updating its devices on time and the company claims coronavirus outbreak to be the cause for it. However, the company did manage to roll out beta updates to a number of eligible devices.

The above-mentioned devices were supposed to get early adopter as well as stable updates in Q1. But, the early adopter program was postponed from January to March in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis and thus the stable updates are being released now in Q2.

A new Samsung patent filing with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) has revealed yet another feature that could find its way to the Galaxy S11. The patent which was published on November 6, 2019, is for a software feature titled Space Zoom.

According to details first published by LetsGoDigital, the trademark is categorized as Class 9/42 and is described as; “Smartphones; Software to zoom in to a subject without lowering image quality.”

There is no doubt Samsung will be looking to improve the camera on its 2020 flagship and this feature may be one of the ways it’ll do that. Samsung may want to integrate ‘Space Zoom’ on the device but the description suggests it just a new name for the hybrid zoom function which the company is reportedly developing. Already, some smartphones like the Huawei P30 Pro, OPPO Reno 10x Zoom and the latest Reno 2 utilise the hybrid zoom. This zoom functionality delivers better image quality than the digital zoom. There are already camera samples to support the capabilities of the hybrid zoom feature.

Since the feature is already growing gradually into a trend, we expect other OEMs to include it in their flagship models. That may be what Samsung is trying to do. This obviously, eclipses the 5X zoom camera feature that had been rumoured to be on the Galaxy S11.

Samsung is expected to unveil the device around February 2020 during the Mobile World Congress (MWC 2020). We’ll have to wait to see if the device will indeed pack these features. Recall that the company earlier patented a smartphone-embedded IR spectrometer that is thought to also come with the S11.

There’s a triple camera setup on the back where the sensors are placed vertically. It features a 48-megapixel primary lens with optical image stabilization, a 13-megapixel periscope-type telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom and OIS and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens.

The phone is powered by a 4,065mAh battery and comes with support for 20W VOOC 3.0 Flash Charge fast charging technology. The smartphone comes running Android Pie-based ColorOS 6.0 out-of-the-box.

According to the most recent reports, Samsung is still dominating the smartphones market with a noticeable annual growth. And the company keeps releasing amazing handsets: after announcing a foldable phone, the Korean giant officially unveiled the Galaxy Note 10 line-up with huge improvements compared to the predecessor Galaxy Note 9. For the first time since 2011, the Note line-up contains two different variants. This means that we can compare it not only with the most expensive devices out there but also with more affordable Chinese flagships. For this post, we chose to compare the vanilla Galaxy Note 10 with the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro and the Oppo Reno 10x zoom which we believe are among the top 5 most wanted flagship line-ups of the second half of 2019.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 vs Oppo Reno 10x zoom vs Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro

Design

Tastes play an important role here, but I would personally choose the Galaxy Note 10 because of its more compact size, a lower thickness (despite the presence of the S Pen) and the waterproof certification. However, if we only consider the look, Oppo Reno 10x zoom is definitely more attractive with its full borderless display, it shark fin front camera and its very original glass back, at least according to my tastes. But for me, dimensions and builds quality are more important. Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro remains a very interesting device due to its borderless display with pop-up camera and its solid glass back available in interesting color variants. Which one would you go for?

Display

Despite it has an inferior display to the Galaxy Note 10+ with a lower resolution and a smaller size, the new Galaxy Note 10 has the most amazing screen you can find in this trio. It is the only to be HDR10+ compliant, so it shows more brilliant and realistic colors. Some might not like the hole placed at the center of the display in order to include the front camera while reducing the bezels, but in terms of quality, it has no rivals in this comparison. It even supports the S Pen for handwriting and drawing, which can also be used as a motion controller allowing the control of the display without touching it. Just note that Oppo Reno 10x zoom has a wider panel, but for the rest, Galaxy Note 10 wins.

Hardware/Software

The European version of the Galaxy Note 10 comes with a brand new chipset: the Exynos 9825 built with a better 7 nm process (compared to the 9820) and with improved performances. On the other hand, the U.S. version still comes with the Snapdragon 855 chipset found on the Galaxy S10 series, just like the Oppo Reno 10x zoom and Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro. So if you are from Europe and other regions in which you can get the Exynos 9825, the Galaxy Note 10 is the best choice for you. Otherwise, we suggest you go for the Oppo Reno 10x zoom which offers the same hardware department plus a micro SD slot to expand the internal storage. In each case, you get a highly customized Android-based user interface.

Camera

If you love to zoom without losing details, then Oppo Reno 10x zoom is the right choice for you thanks to its 10x hybrid zoom and 5x optical zoom. But for all the rest, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is a better camera phone due to its Dual OIS technology, a variable aperture and amazing video recording capabilities.

Battery

If battery life is your priority, do not choose the Samsung Galaxy Note 10. Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro reaches the most satisfying results and it even offers a faster charging technology than the Oppo Reno 10x zoom. But note that Galaxy Note 10 is the only to support wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.

Price

€950 for the Galaxy Note 10, €800/$895 for the Oppo Reno 10x zoom and just €430/$480 for the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro. At the end of the day, if we exclude the battery, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is the winner of this competition. But Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro definitely has a higher value for money. If your budget is not limited (and you do not care about having a longer battery life or a bigger display), it is currently not worth going for the Oppo Reno 10x zoom with the actual prices.

What is common to all four posters is the Qualcomm logo at the top and the Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite Gaming logo at the bottom.

Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite Gaming was announced this year. It is a set of hardware and software features that “transforms premium mobile devices into gaming machines”. The technology is only available on phones powered by the Snapdragon 855.

As expected, Chinese smartphone maker Oppo has today announced the Oppo Reno 10X Zoom FC Barcelona Edition smartphone in its home country. It features a blue-and-red color scheme with heat-press technology to create a unique gradient color effect and a gold-plated club insignia on the back.

It also comes with an FC Barcelona-themed user interface and a case having a similar design. The smartphone also comes with FC Barcelona theme, icons, and ringtones to distinguish it from the standard edition.

Apart from these design-related changes, everything else remains the same as the standard model, including the phone’s specifications. It comes with a 6.6-inch AMOLED notch-less display that produces Full HD+ resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels and 19.5:9 aspect ratio.

It offers a screen-to-body ratio of 93.1 percent and the display is protected by a layer of Gorilla Glass 6 on top. Under the hood, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 flagship mobile platform fuels the smartphone. The Oppo Reno 10X Zoom FC Barcelona Edition comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

The phone is also equipped with a PC-grade liquid cooling technology. The shark-fin module includes a 16-megapixel selfie camera and an LED flash. It is fitted with a triple camera setup that includes an OIS enabled 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 sensor with f/1.7 aperture, a 13-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom and an OIS assisted 8-megapixel super wide-angle lens with f/2.2 aperture.

The smartphone runs ColorOS 6 out-of-the-box, which is based on the Android 9 Pie operating system. The 4,065mAh battery of the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Edition also supports VOOC 3.0 fast charging technology.

The Oppo Reno 10X Zoom FC Barcelona Edition is priced at 899 Euros (approximately $1,008) and will be available for purchase in Spain, France, Netherlands and other parts of Europe from 26th July. It will also go on sale in China from the same date for 4,799 Yuan.

With the Reno line-up, Oppo completely revolutionized its high-end smartphones line-up and it seems to have taken the right decisions as the new phones are doing really well in both the Chinese and the global market. The flagship device of the new series is the Oppo Reno 10x zoom (there is also a Reno 5G but if we exclude the 5G connectivity it has exactly the same specifications but a higher price) and it combines a revolutionary design with a very advanced camera experience and amazing performances. But can this device compete with the most powerful non 5G flagship released by the company which actually dominates the smartphones market? After reading this comparison between Oppo Reno 10x zoom and Samsung Galaxy S10+ you should have a satisfying answer to this question.

Oppo Reno 10x zoom vs Samsung Galaxy S10+

Design

There is no doubt about the fact that Oppo Reno 10x zoom comes with one of the most innovative form factors ever seen on a mobile phone in the last years. It is equipped with the first “shark fin” pop-up camera and it has a screen-to-body ratio very close to 100 percent without the need of a notch. Further, it has a very original glass back, especially when it comes to that vertical stripe in the middle. While Oppo Reno 10x zoom has the best look in my opinion, Samsung Galaxy S10+ offers a better build quality as it is fully waterproof (up to 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes).

Display

Samsung is the best display manufacturer when it comes to mobile phones and it was pretty obvious that Galaxy S10+ had to come with one of the most outstanding panels out there. The handset sports an amazing color reproduction, a high QHD+ resolution and it is even HDR10+ compliant. If we only consider flagship phones, Oppo Reno 10x zoom has just an average AMOLED panel without HDR certification and with a just Full HD+ resolution (1080p vs 1440p on the Galaxy S10+). However, it has a wider panel, one of the widest ones on flagship phones with a diagonal of 6.6 inches. But I would definitely go for display quality instead of display size.

Specs & Software

If we consider the most expensive variants, so the ones with the best memory configurations, Samsung Galaxy S10+ largely wins the hardware comparison. Indeed, it is equipped with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of UFS 3.0 internal storage, while Oppo Reno 10x zoom stops at just 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. Both benchmarks and speed tests highlight a better software and hardware optimization on the Samsung Galaxy S10+, despite it has to manage a display with a higher resolution and a highly-customized user interface. However, in each case you got a flagship hardware department, so you should not notice any difference in daily use.

Camera

Oppo Reno 10x zoom has an amazing 10x hybrid zoom technology which allows a better zoom with a minor loss of detail compared to the Galaxy S10+, but when it comes to overall photo and video quality, Samsung’s flagship is a lot better than its rivals. It shoots brighter photos in low-light conditions thanks to its variable aperture which goes up to f/1.5, and it even shows more accurate colors when there is light. Even when it comes to selfies, Samsung Galaxy S10+ is the king with its dual front camera able to record 4K videos. So, overall, Oppo Reno 10x zoom is better only when it comes to zoom.

Battery

Even though Samsung Galaxy S10+ has a slightly bigger battery, Oppo Reno 10x zoom is able to last more on a single charge in most of the scenarios because it has better power management and a more efficient display. Both support Qi wireless charging, but only Samsung Galaxy S10 has the reverse wireless charging feature.

Price

Do not take the price info seriously as the price of these handsets varies a lot depending on the market and the actual street prices. But in the highest amount of countries, Samsung Galaxy S10+ starts from an €830/$930 listing price, while Oppo Reno 10x zoom costs €800/$897 in its base variant. At the end of the day, Samsung Galaxy S10+ looks like a more complete device due to its better overall camera performance, a better display, water resistance, and higher-end memory configurations.

OPPO and FC Barcelona have had a long-standing partnership since 2015. This is why every year we see special FC Barcelona editions of best-selling OPPO models. This year isn’t any different with the company announcing that the special OPPO Reno 10X Zoom FC Barcelona edition will meet us tomorrow. This special edition of the flagship will join the likes of OPPO R11, R9, R7 Plus, and even the F1 Plus which had their own Barcelona editions. 

The OPPO Reno 10X Zoom FC Barcelona edition should have some additional design elements as compared to the regular edition. With previous special editions, OPPO had made the phone available in FC Barcelona’s iconic blue and red shades along with a 18K gold plated emblem (on the F11 Barcelona edition) of the club at the back. There are usually some FC Barcelona themed customizations inside the phone too. 

Unfortunately, OPPO’s teaser doesn’t give us a glimpse of the upcoming device. All we know is that the phone will be revealed tomorrow. As for the specs, expect it to be identical to the high-end OPPO Reno 10X Zoom variant. So you should have the same Snapdragon 855 processor with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, 48MP+13MP+8MP triple camera setup at the back, and a large 4000mAh battery inside.

Stay tuned to Gizmochina as more details about the phone unfold tomorrow.

After the success of the Zenfone 5z, Asus just launched the Zenfone 6 in the Indian market under a new moniker: Asus 6z. The handset has a lot of competition in the peninsula, especially in the affordable flagships segment. That is why it will be hard for people to choose the flagship with the highest value for money. With this post, we want to make your mind clearer by comparing the Asus 6z with other trending flagships in the Indian market. We believe that the Oppo Reno 10x zoom and the vanilla OnePlus 7 are the perfect candidate for a comparison like this, so here we go.

Asus 6z vs Oppo Reno 10x zoom vs OnePlus 7

Design

As long as you do not hate the flip camera, Asus 6z is the smartphone with the most interesting design alongside the Oppo Reno 10x zoom. I would exclude the OnePlus 7 as it is the classic phone with a waterdrop notch and a glass back, it is not even available in the outstanding Nebula Blue color variant, unlike its Pro version. My favorite one is the Oppo Reno 10x zoom with its shark fin pop-up camera and a stunning glass back with a clean and gorgeous look. But Oppo Reno 10x zoom is all but a compact phone: Asus 6z is smaller and easier to keep in a pocket; that is something you should consider if you always travel.

Display

Despite its IPS panel that is all but trending nowadays, the Asus 6z has been praised for its amazing color reproduction thanks to the HDR standard and a 100 percent DCI-P3 coverage. The Oppo Reno 10x zoom only comes with high DCI-P3 coverage, as well as the OnePlus 7, but the Oppo’s flagship has a bigger display which may be very useful for those who are searching for a productivity phone for professional uses. Unfortunately, the display of the Asus 6z does not integrate a fingerprint reader: it is placed on the back of the phone, under the flip-up camera.

Hardware/Software

If you are deciding which device you want to buy from this trio, do not mind so much about the hardware department. They all have awesome flagship-class performances as they are all powered by the Snapdragon 855 chipset, and you can not expect a better SoC in 2019. Just note that OnePlus 7 does not have expandable storage, while Asus 6z and Oppo Reno 10x zoom do. Keep in mind that only the Asus 6z has a dedicated micro SD slot (allowing to use dual SIM slot at the same time) and it gives the chance to expand the internal storage up to 1 TB (Reno 10x zoom stops at 256 GB).

Camera

OIS, laser autofocus, periscope camera with 5x optical zoom and a bright focal aperture: Oppo Reno 10x zoom is one of the most amazing camera phones and it clicks gorgeous photos. It wins the camera comparison when it comes to camera quality, but Asus 6z is as interesting as the Oppo Reno 10x zoom for a simple reason: the flip-up camera. You can use the dual rear camera as a selfie camera too, but that is not all: you can regulate the position of the flip-up camera on several angles in order to shoot photos comfortably in almost every direction.

Battery

Asus 6z is the last-gen mainstream flagship with the biggest battery ever among the ones equipped with the Snapdragon 855 SoC. And it even has a great optimization in terms of energy consumption, so it is the perfect battery phone. It can also be used as a power bank thanks to reverse wireless charging. Right after, there is the Oppo Reno 10x zoom which still provides a long battery life (one day with most of the usages).

Price

Asus 6z carries a $450/€400 price tag in India, OnePlus 7 starts from €421/$472, and Oppo Reno 10x zoom costs €640/$720. Overall, Asus 6z definitely has the highest value for money, despite I define the Oppo Reno 10x zoom a slightly better handset for advanced users.

When it was officially announced, the Oppo Reno 10x zoom debuted in just two color variants: Ocean Green and Jet Black. Definitely not the most suitable colors for women who always have fewer choices than men when it comes to hi-tech products colors. Today, an official post on Weibo confirmed that the new flagship will soon hit the shelves in a new color variant and this time it will be perfect for women as it is a Pink edition of the handset. The Pink version of the Oppo Reno 10x zoom will be officially available in China starting from June 18th.

During the last year, a lot of Chinese companies tried to offer something more than affordable flagships. Oppo is finally back in the flagship segment after four years of inactivity with the Find X and, in 2019, with the new Oppo Reno 10x Zoom. Meanwhile, OnePlus changed its strategy and, for the first time, it launched a top-tier flagship: the OnePlus 7 Pro. Even Huawei’s sub-brand, Honor, came up with an advanced version of the Honor 20 which comes with higher-end specs: the Honor 20 Pro. These three devices represent three of the most important Chinese flagships of 2019 and, through this comparison, we will clear your idea about their specifications and potentialities.

Honor 20 Pro vs OnePlus 7 Pro vs Oppo Reno 10x zoom

Design

All of these devices sport a beautiful and futuristic design: which one you should go for mainly depends on your tastes. In order to get free from display bezels, Honor 20 Pro boasts a punch-hole display with a front camera inside. On the other hand, Oppo Reno 10x zoom and OnePlus 7 Pro come with pop-up front cameras which differ in their form factors: the former has a singular shark fin-like motorized slider, while the OnePlus 7 Pro has a classic pop-up camera just like the Vivo NEX line-up. In each case, you get a wonderful glass back and a high screen-to-body ratio. Some may prefer the Honor 20 Pro because it is way more compact than its opponents, but it has also a smaller display.

Display

When it comes to displays, Honor 20 Pro loses the battle immediately. Besides having a way smaller screen as mentioned above, it has an average IPS panel just like the ones you can find on most of the devices from €200 to €400. The second place goes to the Oppo Reno 10x Zoom which comes with a better AMOLED display showing deeper blacks and more attractive colors; it also integrates an in-display fingerprint reader. But the real winner here is the OnePlus 7 Pro which comes with the most impressive display ever seen on a Chinese phone. It has a high Quad HD+ resolution, a wonderful color reproduction thanks to the HDR10+ standard, and even a high 90 Hz refresh ratio.

Hardware/Software

In its most expensive variant, OnePlus 7 Pro wins even the hardware comparison. It is the only one to come with up to 12 GB of RAM that is the biggest amount of volatile memory ever mounted on a smartphone. Further, it is powered by the best Qualcomm’s chipset: the octa-core Snapdragon 855 running at a max frequency of 2.84 GHz. Right after, there is the Oppo Reno 10x Zoom which is powered by the Snapdragon 855 as well, but it has just 8 GB of RAM in its high-end version. OnePlus 7 Pro has a nearly-stock Android version, while Oppo Reno 10x zoom and Honor 20 Pro have customized user interfaces.

Camera

These handsets are very close when it comes to camera performances, so it is very hard to establish a clear winner because their photo quality varies a lot depending on the scenario. But I personally prefer the Honor 20 Pro due to its more versatile camera department. It has a quad camera composed of a main 48 MP sensor with the brightest focal aperture in the smartphone market: f/1.4. Its secondary sensor is an ultrawide lens which you can currently find on most of the flagship, but there is also a telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and a dedicated macro camera! A complete camera setup which guarantees amazing shots in every condition. But if we only talk about photo quality, OnePlus 7 Pro is more or less at the same level. And let’s not forget about the Oppo Reno 10x zoom with its amazing 10x hybrid zoom technology (5x optical zoom).

Battery

Finally, the age in which flagships had small, insufficient or average battery is gone. All these handsets come with a very nice 4000 mAh battery which holds for a full day if you do not stress them too much. The battery of the Oppo Reno 10x zoom is slightly bigger (4065 mAh), the phone has to manage a more efficient AMOLED display, so it could be that it will last more than both OnePlus 7 Pro and Honor 20 Pro on a single charge. On the other hand, OnePlus 7 Pro has a much faster charging technology.

Price

Honor 20 Pro starts from €600/$670, OnePlus 7 Pro has a €700/$780 price for the entry-level variant and Oppo Reno 10x zoom starts from €800/$890. With its amazing display, great hardware side and awesome cameras, OnePlus 7 Pro looks more promising and it wins this comparison.

It is powered by the Snapdragon 855 with similar RAM and ROM configuration as the Reno but adds storage expansion.

Affordable flagships are back! After a period in which prices kept raising every day more, it is good to see that there are still companies trying to offer smartphones with the best hardware at a modest price. One of the latest ones is the impressive Lenovo Z6 Pro which comes with up to 12 GB of RAM and a price inferior to €400 at the actual change! Here is a comparison between the new flagship-killer and two other affordable flagships of 2019 which are catalyzing the attention of the public: Xiaomi Mi 9 and Oppo Reno in its 10x zoom variant!

Lenovo Z6 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi 9 vs Oppo Reno 10x Zoom

Design

If you are looking for the best aesthetical innovation and for the most amazing design, you should choose the Oppo Reno 10x zoom without thinking twice. It is the only to come with a screen-to-body ratio close to 100 percent and no notch. The secret is its shark fin-like pop-up camera which comes out thanks to a motorized slider on the upper part of the device. And the under-display fingerprint reader makes the rear design clean and very attractive, alongside the innovative the vertical stripe under the rear cameras. It is definitely my favorite one, while I am less attracted from the Xiaomi Mi 9 and Lenovo Z6 Pro which come with a traditional waterdrop notch.

Display

While the Oppo Reno 10x zoom has the most innovative and original design, Lenovo Z6 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 9 should be able to offer something more in terms of display quality. Indeed, they come with both the HDR10 technology and the DCI-P3 coverage, so its color reproduction should be amazing and better than Oppo Reno 10x zoom. On the other hand, the Oppo Reno 10x zoom has a bigger 6.6-inch panel which may be more comfortable for productivity and multimedia users, even though it makes the phone bulkier and harder to use with one hand.

Hardware/Software

The processor is the same for each of these devices, and it is the best you can expect in 2019. We are talking about the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 running at a max frequency of 2.84 GHz. Despite they all got the same processor, there is a difference in the performances of these devices, at least in their most expensive variants. Indeed, the Lenovo Z6 Pro comes with up to 12 GB of RAM, while Oppo Reno 10x zoom stops at 8 GB and Xiaomi Mi 9 has just 6 GB. Even the internal storage is different in the top-end variants: while Lenovo Z6 Pro arrives at 512 GB of internal storage, the Oppo Reno 10x zoom goes up to 256 GB and Xiaomi Mi 9 stops at 128 GB. The internal storage of the Mi 9 is not even expandable.

Camera

In each case, you will get an amazing camera setup and only a thorough test of each device will tell us which one clicks the best photos. Lenovo Z6 Pro has the highest number of rear cameras: a quad setup including a 48 MP main sensor, an ultrawide lens, a telephoto lens, and even a TOF 3D camera. Despite having just three cameras, Xiaomi Mi 9 remains amazing due to its awesome photo quality, even in the dark. And Oppo Reno 10x zoom is even more interesting as it features OIS on two sensors and a periscope lens with 10x hybrid zoom technology.

Battery

Xiaomi Mi 9 loses this comparison because it has just a 3300 mAh battery, while the real challenge is between the Lenovo Z6 Pro and Oppo Reno 10x zoom equipped with 4000 and 4065 mAh batteries. Given that the differences in terms of battery life are marginal, I would go for the Lenovo Z6 Pro because of its faster charging technology.

Price

Lenovo Z6 Pro starts from about €400/$447 in China, Xiaomi Mi 9 costs €450/$505 globally and Oppo Reno 10x zoom starts from €550/$615. At the end of the day, with the actual prices, Lenovo Z6 Pro has the highest value for money, and that is the most important thing for an affordable flagship.

Once again, Huawei launched the most surprising camera phone we could expect: we are talking about the Huawei P30 Pro with the most amazing performances in low light conditions and even a periscopic sensor. But Oppo did not just sit and watch the show: the Oppo Reno 10x zoom debuted a few days ago as the first phone to feature a 10x hybrid zoom. But which is the most impressive one and which one comes with the highest value for money? We will discover it together through this specs comparison. Whether you agree with us or not, you can let us know your impressions with a comment.

Oppo Reno 10x zoom vs Huawei P30 Pro

Design

The design award for the Oppo Reno 10x zoom is mandatory. Its astonishing screen-to-body ratio and its shark fin-like pop-up selfie camera are something amazing. It is one of the devices with the most narrow bezels, and it also comes with a strong Gorilla Glass 6 front panel. Huawei P30 Pro has a standard waterdrop display that we have already seen dozens of times, but its bezels are incredibly narrow and its display is curved at the sides, so it has a lot more to offer in terms of aesthetics. Further, unlike the Oppo Reno 10x zoom, it is waterproof with the IP68 certification and it can go up to 2 meters deep. Both the devices come with an in-display fingerprint reader making their back cover clean and elegant.

Display

Huawei always managed to equip its flagship smartphones with amazing displays in the last year. And the situation does not change with the Huawei P30 Pro. It may not have the most impressive display out there, but it is an amazing OLED panel supporting the HDR10 technology and DCI-P3 coverage, which provide a very nice color reproduction. On the other hand, Oppo Reno 10x zoom has a larger 6.6-inch display (one of the bigger ones among actual flagship devices) and it does not have a notch, but it should provide a less satisfying quality overall.

Specs & Software

The hardware is not the strongest point of the Huawei P30 Pro if we compare it with the most expensive flagships out there. Even Oppo Reno 10x zoom is a lot more convincing, thanks to its Snapdragon 855 chipset which can be faster in most of the environments. So Oppo Reno 10x zoom wins the hardware comparison, but note that the Huawei P30 Pro is the only to come with up to 512 GB of internal storage. In each case, you can expand the internal storage, but while Oppo Reno 10x zoom has a micro SD slot, Huawei P30 Pro is equipped with a nano memory card slot that is a new SIM-like expansion card released by Huawei, so it is harder to find. Both have Android 9 Pie out of the box, customized by the Color OS and the EMUI user interface, respectively.

Camera

Each of these two phones is among the best camera phones ever, and each one offers its own advantages. The Oppo Reno 10x zoom is better when it comes to color reproduction thanks to its OIS-backed 48 MP main sensor. It also comes with the most impressive zooming capabilities: its 13 MP periscope lens has the new 10x hybrid zoom proprietary technology demoed at MWC 2019. On the other hand, Huawei P30 is better when it comes to photos in low light conditions, thanks to its new RYYB sensor which replaces green with yellow in the RGB paradigma. It also has a TOF 3D camera that is not present on the Oppo Reno 10x zoom.

Battery

We still did not test Oppo Reno 10x zoom’s battery life, but given that the capacity is similar (4065 vs 4200 mAh) and the specs sheets belong to the same segment, we do not expect noticeable differences. But it is worth noting that Huawei P30 Pro comes with a wireless charging technology and reverse wireless charging, while Oppo Reno 10x zoom does not.

Price

Oppo Reno 10x zoom is available to purchase starting from just €550/$621, while Huawei P30 Pro starts from €880/$995. If I had to choose, at the end of the day I would personally go for the Huawei P30 Pro as it is waterproof, it offers wireless and reverse wireless charging, as well as a better display.

From 3.5-inch screen to 6-inch screen, most of people prefer a large display gradually. And for the screen designs, there are several designs having been widely adopted, which are notch, water drop and punch hole. Ultimately, manufacturers make the true full-screen possible by hiding the front-facing camera. OPPO Find X has shown us the possibility, and the OPPO Reno is the upgrade version of true full-screen.

OPPO Reno features a uniquely design called “shark fin” shaped pop-up module.

The durability of the cameras with side-rotation lifting module is being proved. Official claims that the lifting time of the camera is about 0.8s, and the usage count is up to 200,000 times. In other words, if you make it lift up 20 times per day, you can use it at least 20 years.

What’s more, there is a drop protection system built-in the camera module, when the phone falls down, the camera module will be automatically retracted.

In order to further enhance the proportion of the screen, OPPO Reno comes with the in-display fingerprint reader. You should have a question where is the receiver? OPPO Reno ships with the hidden receiver which is making a sound through the edges of panel and glass.

Thanks to the skillful design, OPPO Reno comes with the true full-screen, and the screen-to-body ratio is up to 93.1%.

It’s hard to do a stunning rear panel design which is attractive. From Find X to R17, OPPO has always been a good designer and a color player. At this time, we can great color matching on Reno’s rear side.

There are four color of Reno for users to choose, which are Extreme Night Black, Nebula Purple, Fog Sea Green and Pink Mist.

The 3D gradient color makes the OPPO Reno looked colorful and rich. Reno adopts the bright spot color technology, which integrate glass surface layer, tinting layer, condensation layer and metal bottom layer, to create the visual effect of interweaving fog and bright on a rear glass.

Performance

The market positioning of OPPO Reno is between R series and Find X series, so Reno should publish two editions.

OPPO Reno standard version comes with Snapdragon 710 processor, and the 10x Zoom edition is powered by Snapdragon 855 processor supporting liquid cooling system. What’s more, Reno will be published a 5G edition in future.

Obviously, performance is no longer the shortcoming of Reno.

OPPO Reno is equipped with ColorOS 6 which adopts the latest borderless design. The new system has also expanded a lot – remote guardianship, which is very particular for dealing with phone problems, Hyperboost 2.0, which optimizes game performance, and Breeno smart assistant, which covers the whole scene, all of which have help to improve user experience.

OPPO’s 10x Zoom technology has showed on the MWC, and now it is used in the OPPPO Reno. Note that the standard edition has no 10x zoom, but has dual rear camera module.

OPPO Reno comes with 48MP main camera with Sony IMX586 sensor making sure the imaging effect. Moreover, Reno also uses four-in-one pixel aggregation technology, so the performance is quite good in low-light environment.

Both edition support Super Nightscape, which is a technology to enhance the performance of night scene through multi-frame synthesis technology. In the handheld mode, after taking a night photo, it will compose 7 images with different brightness to form a photo. If you take photos by tripod, it will compose maximum of 17 images with different brightness to form a photo, so the image quality will also be greatly improved.

Overall, regardless of the low light and night scenes, the camera of OPPO Reno will have a great performance. You can see from the official sample.

We also take several samples by Reno. The camera’s performance is very good in daytime, even in the easily overexposed scenes, the color is gorgeous, the details are greatly preserved. There is no distortion in color in a dimly lit room.

In general, you can take photos by OPPO Reno without complex setup.

There is no doubt that, photograph is one of the features of Reno.

Conclusion

According to the marketing report of IDC, OPPO shipped 113.1million units in 2018 and has become one of the top mobile phone manufacturers in China. Now, it is considering the next step of smartphone marketing.

OPPO Reno is one of the answers with great design, good performance and stunning photograph.

Oppo just launched a brand new flagship line-up: it is called Oppo Reno and it focuses on performances and camera potentialities! At the moment, the most powerful variant of the new series is the Oppo Reno 10x zoom and with its interesting price, it is a perfect rival of all the most expensive flagships out there. While waiting for the global launch which will take place on April 24 in Zurich, here, we compared it with the most important handsets that you can currently get at a similar price all around the world: the Huawei P30 and the Samsung Galaxy S10!

Oppo Reno 10x Zoom vs Huawei P30 vs Samsung Galaxy S10

Design

With its “shark fin” motorized pop-up camera and its incredibly narrow bezels without even needing a notch, Oppo Reno 10x zoom is the aesthetical innovation transformed into a phone. But the Samsung Galaxy S10 is the one I would go for, not only for the look but also for its build quality. It comes with very narrow bezels and it does not need a notch, and neither a motorized slider, because it comes with an in-display single camera. Further, it is waterproof and dustproof with the IP68 certification, unlike the Oppo Reno 10x zoom. Huawei P30 is nothing surprising with its classic waterdrop display, but it is dust resistant and splashproof.

Display

Currently, no one can beat Samsung when it comes to flagship-class OLED displays. The Samsung Galaxy S10 is equipped with an amazing Dynamic AMOLED panel with a QHD+ resolution and the HDR10+ standard. It comes with very high brightness, perfect color reproduction and a very high level of detail. And it is also a compact display with its 6.1-inch diagonal. Oppo Reno 10x zoom has a big phablet-class display with a 6.6-inch diagonal, but its resolution is lower and it can not provide the same viewing quality of the Samsung Galaxy S10.

Hardware/Software

While Huawei P30 offers a Kirin 980 chipset with a 2.6 GHz clock frequency, the Samsung Galaxy S10 and the Oppo Reno 10x zoom both offer a more powerful Snapdragon 855 that is more suitable for advanced users, modders and gamers. In its most expensive configuration, Samsung Galaxy 10 has 512 GB of internal storage, while Oppo Reno 10x zoom stops at 256 GB, but at a more affordable price. In each case, you get a highly customized user interface based on Android 9 Pie.

Camera

It is very hard to define which of these handsets clicks the best photos as they vary a lot depending on the environment. All of them are equipped with a triple camera setup including an ultrawide lens and a telephoto lens, but they got different sensors. Huawei P30 and Oppo Reno 10x zoom look more interesting as the former sports an RYYB primary sensor which captures a huge amount of light even in dark scenes, while the latter has the new 10x hybrid zoom. But Samsung Galaxy S10 remains an outstanding camera phone with its variable aperture and its stunning photos in low light conditions, as well as a front camera which can record 4K videos. In order to give a definitive verdict on these devices’ cameras, we will have to test the Oppo Reno 10x zoom thoroughly.

Battery

We believe that Oppo Reno 10x zoom will provide a longer battery life. The reason is not only the presence of a bigger 4065 mAh battery but also the fact that its display has a lower resolution than Samsung Galaxy S10 (Full HD vs Quad HD). Samsung Galaxy S10 and Huawei P30 have much smaller batteries, so it is unlikely that they will reach a similar battery life in any of the possible scenarios.

Price

Oppo Reno 10x zoom starts from €550/$620, Huawei P30 costs €680/$766 in its base variant and Samsung Galaxy S10 starts from €770/$867. At the end of the day, Oppo Reno 10x Zoom looks definitely more promising with its bigger battery, innovative design, and awesome cameras. But this does not mean that it will be better than Samsung Galaxy S10 and Huawei P30 for all the users.
