Oppo Reno 10x zoom hands-on review

introduction

Do you remember the Oppo N1? Back in 2013, Oppo was experimenting with moving bits on its smartphones and what started out as a manually rotating camera was then motorized for the N3. Fast forward to today, where we have the Oppo Reno 10x zoom with a shark fin-style motorized pop-up camera. But that’s not what the clunky name is for – the phone has a periscope telephoto camera on the back that gets you 10x closer to the action thanks to a “lossless” hybrid zoom.

We’ve been invited to spend some time with Oppo’s latest phones and of course the Reno’s 10x zoom was our top priority. Only the second phone with a periscope camera, this one has the same range as the P30 Pro’s camera. We’ve been more than a little torn between that and the upcoming selfie camera – which is cooler?

But before we get to that, let’s get the specs out of the way.

• Various: Optical fingerprint sensor under the display.

So yes, the Reno 10x Zoom is a proper high-end device with all the parts you would expect in 2019. The missing ones too – for a 3.5mm jack you’ll have to look at the regular Reno, but then you’d get a mid-range chipset and no periscope zoom, even if the motorized selfie camera is still there.

Okay, let’s dive right in with the Shark Fin Reno 10x Zoom. And let’s avoid puns of this kind from now on.
