It’s time to unbox the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G & give you its first impressions.
 |
It’s a 65W Super VOOC charger
along with Type C earphones which are rare nowadays. It doesn’t have a 3.5mm
jack & you get a USB Type C cable.
Design - I had shown its back and
it looks premium from every angle. It’s a curved glass & the multi-coloured
back.
Build Quality - OPPO says it has
an AG glass, but it doesn’t feel like it. But it’s nice.
And at the front there’s Gorilla
Glass 5 protection. Even though the phone is premium, we’re going to do the
drop test. The case is of good quality & has a snugly fit. The case fits
well & there’s no problem even if it falls.
Ports & Buttons - Below,
there’s a speaker grille, a USB Type C port, a mic & a sim card tray. On the
left, there are volume buttons. On top, there's a good finish with a noise-cancelling mic.
On the right, there’s the power
on/off button with a green tinge & it looks good. These small things on
premium phones make a difference. The sim card tray has a dual nano sim slot.
This phone comes in only 1 variant with 256GB storage, so it’s no problem
even without an SD card.
In-hand Feel - It’s gorgeous,
even if your hands are small or average, it won’t feel big It’s a little big
for a one-hand operation because of the 6.55” screen, but still the overall
in-hand feel is good & won’t fall. Weight distribution feels good. Let's
check the weight. It weighs about 179g & it’s light.
It surely feels like a light being under
180g. And it has a 4500mAh battery. Maybe I guessed the weight because of its
battery size. Interestingly, there’s glass on both sides with a huge battery
& it’s still lightweight (under 180g). Let’s look at the software to see how
it looks from the inside Display - It’s a 6.55” FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a
90Hz fast refresh rate.
It has a 180Hz touch sampling
rate with 800 nit’s brightness. The display could’ve been 120Hz, but all other
things are nice. And 6.55” screen size is ideal. It has a 91.2% screen-to-body
ratio & because of the curved sides, the bezels are non-existent. In fact,
the display flows on the left & right sides.
The top bezel is average-sized
& looks similarly small as the bottom. And hence it has a high
screen-to-body ratio. Look at the display, just like the back, it looks premium
from the front. Specifications - It has Immensity 1200 SoC, which is based on
the 6Nm fabrication technology.
it is very power efficient. It
has only 1 variant (12GB RAM & 256GB storage).It has a virtual RAM memory
that can be extended up to 7GB.It isn’t a normal memory & it uses the
memory storage for additional virtual RAM. It’s a different concept, (we'll
plan to make a video on it later)
It has UFS 3.1 storage type with
LPDDR4X RAM type. It has a huge 4500mAh battery, it can get you through the day
& has a 65W fast charging (charges 0-100% battery in 31 minutes)OS UI - It
has the latest ColorOS 11.3 based on Android 11 with June’s security patch.
In 2020 we’d said that ColorOS is
the most improved UI & this is no different. Yes, you get some preinstalled
apps that you can uninstall. You get a lot of other features along with a
customizable always-on display. In fact, ColorOS has some of the best always-on
displays & you can do a lot of things with it. It has a game focus mode
that hides notifications/alerts while gaming
You can take a freeform
screenshot which gives you more control over it.
Performance - The combination of Immensity
1200 SoC along with ColorOS feels really smooth & UI is also quite responsive.
Even if you play longer sessions, it won’t get warm & overall performance
is very good.
Sensors - It has all sensors,
including an in-display fingerprint sensor & face unlock that work well.
Camera - It has a
64MP+8MP+2MP+2MP quad-camera setup which looks like a triple but has a camera
sensor below the LED flash. The selfie shooter is a 32MP pinhole camera on the left.
My first camera impressions are decent, the 64MP primary sensor clicks good
photos with good colours.
We’ll have to use it in different
situations & to test its cameras. The hardware is decent, but the software
is very nice & full of features. It has a Bokeh Flair Portrait Video Mode
for smooth & colourful background bokeh effects that look good in videos.
You also get different SOLOOP
templates for good looking short videos. Multimedia - The video viewing
experience is good with great viewing angles especially with a curved screen. It
has mono speakers which are good & loud, but stereo speakers would’ve been
great. But the overall multimedia experience is very good.
Connectivity -It gets 5G(DSDS), Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi calling, Dual 4G VoLTE & NFC.
Features - It has a 360-degree
light sensor that adjusts the brightness depending on the environment.
Which is helpful for saving the battery.
You get Wide vine L1, GCam support & notification light is missing So the
OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G is a premium phone with a curved screen, good in-hand feel
& a great display. The cameras are fine & we still must use them to tell
you more about it. But overall, it’s very nice. Now it all depends on the
price. Remember it has only 1 variant(12GB+256GB)
In China, it’s priced at 3500-3600 Yuan (approx. Rs 40,000). We aren't sure about its pricing but if it comes around Rs 40K, I’d say it’s a decent deal. It might not be the best value for money as it’s a premium phone & the price should be around Rs 40K.
