Oppo has refreshed its Reno lineup within a mere six months. The Oppo Reno 5 and Reno 5 Pro have been unveiled in China today, along with a teaser for the Reno 5 Pro+ flagship smartphone. The latest Reno 5 series features an AMOLED display, a 64MP quad-camera array, 65W fast charging, and a lot more.
Both the Reno 5 and Reno 5 Pro are identical on the rear but can be differentiated on the basis of the display panel. The former packs a flat display while the latter boasts a dual-curved display like many premium flagships out there. A major highlight of the design is the new Reno Glow 2.0 design. The camera bump and the top egde glows in the dark, as shown below.
The standard Reno 5 has a 6.43-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED panel while the Reno 5 Pro includes a bigger 6.55-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED panel. Both the variants boast a 90Hz refresh rate and 180Hz touch response rate. There’s an in-display fingerprint sensor at the bottom and a punch-hole cutout, housing a 32MP selfie camera, aboard both the variants.
As for the battery, there’s only a minor difference in battery sizes. Reno 5 includes a 4,300mAh battery while the Reno 5 Pro has a 4,350mAh battery pack, both of which support 65W SuperVOOC charging. The standard variant could be a delight for users as it includes a 3.5mm headphone jack while the Pro variant does not. Both variants have a USB Type-C port, Bluetooth 5, NFC, and Wi-Fi 802.11ac support as well.
Oppo did not detail the Reno 5 Pro+ at the event today. Instead, the company decided to keep this variant a Christmas surprise. It only showed off the design and confirmed that Snapdragon 865 (and not the latest Snapdragon 888) will power the smartphone. It will also support 65W SuperVOOC charging.
