The Oppo Reno features the mid-range Snapdragon 710 processor which, along with Adreno 616 GPU and the 6/8 GB of onboard RAM, give you a sort of complete package in terms of performance. The software out of the box is Oppo’s ColorOS which is based on the latest Android Pie (9.0). The benchmark tests will be run on the Oppo Reno which will feature the single-core performance as well as the compound AnTuTu. The same will be updated here.
Coming to the storage, the Oppo Reno contains 256GB of onboard storage for both, the 6GB and 8GB variants. There is no provision for microSD expansion, but considering the 256GB, it is a lot of storage even for a heavy user, so it shouldn’t be a real problem.
There is a lot of research to be done as well as the performance checks are concerned, but at least on paper, the Oppo Reno is a capable performer and has what it takes to give you a nice butter smooth user experience.

Battery
Smartphones these days are sporting bigger batteries that support the plethora of features and sensors, and the Oppo Reno is no exception. We have a more than capable 3765 mAh battery which also supports Oppo’s proprietary Super VOOC 3.0, which’s around 50% of the battery charged in under 20 minutes.
Oppo introduced VOOC as their version of fast charging and over the years, it has set itself as one of the fastest quick-charging platforms in the smartphone market. The biggest feature of Supper VOOC 3.0 is that it can maintain high voltage during trickle charging, which is generally the final leg of charging your device. What this means is that the last 10% of charging your device will now be noticeably quicker.
While VOOC charging does give the Oppo Reno a mighty power-up, what the device lacks is support for wireless charging. With most phones in 2019 introducing support for wireless charging, Oppo has decided to give the Reno lineup, yes even the flagship, a miss. So, despite having that all-glass back, the Oppo Reno lineup does not come with wireless charging.
Verdict –
The Oppo Reno is truly a fine smartphone with a sleek design, innovative features, super-fast charging, a winner camera, and an absolutely tempting price tag. Yes, the two noticeable absences are the IP68 certification and the support for wireless charging, but when you look at the Oppo Reno as a whole, you will not mind these little tradeoffs as they do not really feature that works make or break a smartphone.
So, if you are in the market for a smartphone that has a beautiful design, amazing cameras, crazy-fast charging, and a splash of innovation, the Oppo Reno is definitely worth considering.The OPPO Reno Edition is available in 6GB RAM + 256GB storage option at AED 1,899 in the UAE.
