OPPO Reno 10x Zoom (Jet Black, 8GB RAM, 256 GB Storage)

Oppo has been known for launching smartphones with innovative camera technologies in the past, and its latest flagship, the Oppo Reno 10x Zoom, definitely follows in this tradition. With its periscope-design 5x optical tele-lens, the Reno 10x Zoom is currently one of only two smartphones to offer such a long focal length (the other one being the Huawei P30 Pro). The tele is the Reno’s standout feature, but the rest of the specs are fully worthy of a 2019 high-end smartphone, too. The primary camera uses a 48MP Quad-Bayer sensor in combination with a fast f/1.7-aperture lens, and a 16mm-equivalent ultra-wide camera is on board as well. In video mode, the Oppo is capable of recording 4K-resolution video at up to 60 frames per second.Users can frame and review photos and video clips on a 6.6-inch FHD+ AMOLED display; selfie shooters can make use of a motorized pop-up front camera; and Qualcomm’s top-end Snapdragon 855Oppo Reno 10x Zoom images show good exposure in most conditions down to low light. Colors can look a little less saturated in comparison to the competition, but white balance tends to be accurate, making for neutral results. Images captured with the primary camera also show good detail in bright light and when shooting indoors, but some noise can be visible in all light conditions, especially in the shadow areas of the frame. Our testers also found ghosting and ringing artifacts in some images.The zoom range is one of the Oppo’s headline features, and while the optical tele- and the ultra-wide lenses are capable of good results in most situations, there’s still some room for improvement. The zoom captures decent detail at all settings, but is not quite on the same level as the very best in class. Image fusion artifacts can be quite intrusive, with a very visible drop-off in detail towards the edges in medium-range shots. The same effect can be seen in ultra-wide shots, which in addition display a lack of detail and some noise.In video mode, the Oppo Reno 10x captures footage at 4K resolution that shows good detail in bright light and when shooting indoors, while keeping noise levels low in most conditions. Video color is outstanding, with accurate white balance and vivid color rendering, and the autofocus is fast and reliable in most situations, with only some instabilities, mostly in low light.Stabilization is fairly effective at counteracting walking motion and camera shake when holding the device still while recording. However, a jello effect and some motion blur are visible in some of our sample clips. Our testers also observed several image artifacts, but even so, the Oppo’s overall moving image performance earns it an impressive 100 points for Video.The Oppo Reno 10x Zoom unsurprisingly does well in the Zoom category, but it is not quite as good as the Huawei P30 Pro, the only other phone on the market with a 5x optical tele-lens, nor as good as the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro Premium Edition with its dual tele-lenses.The loss of detail is more obvious at long range, but detail is still good next to the competition. However, we can see some ringing and unnatural rendering of detail at long zoom distances.When zooming, the Oppo fuses images from its primary and tele cameras to optimize image quality. However, fusion artifacts are very noticeable. In the image below, you can clearly see the border between the central part of the frame, which was captured with the tele-lens, and the edge areas, which were captured with the primary camera and digitally zoomed. In addition, our testers also found other artifacts in zoom images, including halos and a lack of detail in certain textures.The Oppo Reno 10x Zoom delivers good results with a natural look in bokeh simulation mode. Some depth estimation errors tend to be visible around the subject, but overall the camera separates subject and background quite nicely, and depth estimation outdoors is on a similar level to that of the P30 Pro. Quality drops a little when shooting in bokeh mode indoors, though.Other than that, the simulated images also offer a nicely-shaped bokeh, and spotlights in the background show good contrast. Noise levels are low and consistent across subject and background, making for a natural look. Just as for standard photo mode, though, color saturation is low.The Oppo Reno 10x Zoom performs well for low-light and night shots. In flash auto mode, exposure is good and color rendering is usually pleasant. When flash triggers in portrait shots, white balance and exposure are well-adjusted for the subject, but some ghosting can be visible when the flash does not trigger.Thanks to its 4K mode, the Oppo also records very good detail in bright light and under typical indoor conditions, but some detail is lost in low light, as you can see in the comparison graph above. Noise levels are low when shooting outdoors and still well controlled in low light, but indoor footage shows coarse luminance noise. Our testers also noticed some exposure overshooting when adapting to changing conditions in low light, along with several artifacts, including denoising on moving objects, aliasing, and ghosting in some conditions.Camera ProsAccurate target exposure in most conditionsGenerally accurate white balanceGood detail in bright light and when shooting indoorsGood flash performanceUltra-wide offers decent detail at the center of the frameGood zoom performance at close and medium range.Camera ConsNoise in shadow areas of the frameStrong loss of detail and noise in medium-range zoom shotsOccasional ringing and ghosting artifactsSome focus instabilities when shooting at nightLoss of detail towards the edges in ultra-wide shotsNoise and lack of detail in ultra-wide imagesGenerally low levels of color saturation

As somebody rightly said "this phone can zoom into your soul"One star less due to u can't use zoom of periscope camera while vdo recording...Pros : nice back camera..crisp and clear photos6x optical zoom ..very few mob has 6x zoomThere is image stabilization which works goodU get almost loss less zoom upto 6xLow light images are also okSlo motion vdos are good but would have liked super slo motion in this price range.Sound output from headfone is greatIt supports hi res soundIt has aptx drivers so no issues in sound departmentGood battery backup ..it can easily run whole day with heavy usage20 watt Vooc charge ..charges 60 percent in nearly 30 minDolby Atmos support ..loud and clear sound from bottom firing speakerEarpiece acts as secondary speaker ..not loud though ...Somehow dolby doesnot support Bluetooth headfones sw update might fix this issueType c headfones is provided ..they are having good bass and clarity i liked the headphonesColor os is not as bad as it is advertised .. i liked the os ..just a few things that needs to be corrected in notification section ...Screen is good amoled display not much to talk about ..Snapdragon 855 and adreno 640 can handle any game without lagAlso the bezelless and nothch less display gives u emmersive exp while gaming and watching vdosConsBulky and heavyNot having ip rating for dust and water due to that shark fin cameraShark fin camera gathers dust ..so not sure how long will this thing last without making impact (though oppo claimed that they have tested fin camera for 2lac times)Notifications can't be swipped out ..you have to wait for 2 sec before they disappear by themselves ..can be solved in future updatesApart from that i really liked the color osSelfy camera is average ..sometimes overprocesses the imagesCall quality is greatOverall it is a good phone ..

Here is my review about this device after using it for 3days.Initially I had plan to buy one plus 7pro , eventually I preferred this phone over one plus 7pro aft going through the reviews in youtube n all other blogs n some customer reviews as well. It turned out to be the best decision ,though i was bit scared initially but so glad i have this now. 5 major appealing features of this phone which might push you to go for it.1. CameraI think its the best in this segment , it clicks flagship level pictures in natural light n artificial light, One plus 7pro has no match with this device, trust me. Front camera shoots decent selfies but still there is a scope of improvement but again does a better job than one plus 7pro.2. Battery, fingerprint & face unlockIt lasts a whole day despite heavy use n the vooc charger is super fast n as good as warp charge. Charges ur phone 80% in 35-40mins n charges 100% in around 75-80mins. In display fingerprint is very fast n works every time. Face unlock works so smooth n fast as well . No issues here as well.3. ProcessorIt is as smooth as it can be. No lags at all n no heating issue.Credit to Snapdragon 855soc n cooling system of Oppo reno 10x.4. AudioDual streao speakers are really great. Without earphones , u can enjoy good quality surround music. The most unexpected n pleasant surprise is the type c earphones provided by oppo reno 10x. Premium quality n decent sound with good bass.5. CustomisationsThough color OS has no match with oxygen os or stock andriod due to its look n feel but it should not be deal breaker because it is not as bad as the hype going on around. It has so many customizations to play with. Just explore , u will definitely love it.My verdict, if u want the best smartphone overall in 50k price segment, then go for this device guys. U wont regret. Trust me.
