OPPO Philippines has launched a new flagship smartphone series dubbed as “Reno,” comprised of the Reno 10x zoom which also sports Dolby Atmos speakers, and Amoled panoramic screens.
During the media launch Wednesday afternoon, the smartphone manufacturer also named the local Filipino band IV of Spades as brand ambassador, along with contemporary artists and content creators Dex Fernandez, Treb Monteras, Magic Liwanag, Daryl Chang, and André Chang.
Cutting-edge camera
The new Reno 10x Zoom introduces the 10x hybrid zoom and the 60x digital zoom, the first ever in the smartphone industry.
The flagship phone also has a triple camera setup that utilizes a 48MP main camera, an 8MP wide-angle lens, and a 13 MP telephoto lens that make up the full-focal-length system.
Meanwhile, the more affordable OPPO Reno will not have the 10x zoom capacity, but will be replaced by a dual-camera system which has a 48MP and an additional 5MP.
Both units feature OPPO’s Ultra Night Mode 2.0, that has AI portrait optimization suitable for night photography and produces good photos even in low-light conditions.
Its artistic portrait mode has five bokeh or blur effects.
As for video recording, it can capture 4k UHD videos with 60 frames per second.
The two smartphones also feature pop-up selfie cameras designed like a shark fin that automatically recedes when it detects a drop. The front camera takes 0.8 milliseconds to appear.
These pop-up front cameras enable the Reno series to have a notchless design, a characteristic that is also featured in the previous generations of OPPO phones such as Find X.
The Reno 10x zoom and the standard Reno phone have a 6.6-inch and 6.4-inch Amoled screens, respectively.
The two phones have a 93.1 percent screen-to-body ratio, with ultra thin bezels that offer a panoramic screen to the users, paired with a hidden fingerprint security feature that has been upgraded for faster unlocking.
Audio 3D
The Reno lineup makes use of Dolby Atmos speakers that allow an audio 3D feature and an audio zoom that innovates the hearing experience.
If turned on, the audio 3D mode directs the phone to recognize the source of the sound, thus producing a clearer audio.
The series is also powered by the latest ColorOS 6, which includes the new smart riding mode, swipe-up gesture navigation, smart assistance and cloud service to the phones’ software.
Both phones will carry 256GB ROM but the Reno 10x Zoom promises a peak performance with the Snapdragon 855 chipset and 8GB of RAM.
On the other hand, the standard Reno will use the Snapdragon 710 chipset and 6GB of RAM.
The 10x Zoom has a 4065mAh battery, while the standard phone has 3765mAh. Both smartphones, in addition, have the VOOC 3.0 fast charging, which increases charging speed by 100 percent.
The Reno 10x Zoom costs P45,990, while the standard OPPO Reno is priced at P26,990.
Pre-orders for the Reno 10x will be available from June 21 to June 30, with retail availability on July 1.
Meanwhile, pre-orders for the Reno is from June 15 to June 20, and will be officially available on June 21 in selected OPPO stores.
