The Oppo Reno 5 Pro 5G is built on the Snapdragon 865 chipset that was Qualcomm’s high-end processor for 2020 but has been replaced by the Snapdragon 888. The Snapdragon 865 does not feature integrated 5G and thus, needs the additional X55 modem for 5G capabilities.
The Oppo Reno 5 Pro is just under 8mm thick and 184 grams in weight, while managing to fit in a 4,350mAh battery. It also supports 65W Super VOOC charging which, according to Oppo, can charge it to 100% in just 35 minutes. The phone also implements a new “Reno Glow” process on the back which has a shimmering finish and is yet fingerprint-resistant with a matte finish.
On the front is a curved 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 90Hz. Along with an in-display fingerprint scanner, it also supports HDR10+ playback with a peak brightness of 1,100nits.
The key highlight of the Oppo Reno 5 Pro 5G is its camera capabilities. The camera array on the back consists of a 50MP primary sensor, an 16MP ultra-wide shooter, 13MP telephoto and a 2MP macro lens. On the front is a 32MP selfie shooter. A new “AI Highlight Video” mode is also present to improve video quality in different scenarios such as night, harsh backlight and more.
Out of the box, the phone runs on Color OS 11.1, built atop Android 11. Notable features include a customizable always-on display, adjustable dark mode, FlexDrop for multi-tasking, live translation and a gaming mode.
