{Disarmed} OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G, first impressions: this mobile is going to hit hard in the high-end, and it will do it by pulling on ingenuity
OPPO presented this smartphone at the end of last May, in China, with the clear intention of competing in one of the most aggressive segments: that of high-end mobiles that have specifications very close to those of premium terminals and a more affordable price. In fact, only the processor of this Reno6 Pro 5G gives away that it is not a decidedly premium proposition. If we stick to its other characteristics, it fits perfectly in the first division.
Today it reaches Spanish stores, and we have had the opportunity to test it in a first contact during which it has shown us that it is a mobile phone with a well-defined identity. But what makes it more attractive is that it manages to blur the border that exists between premium terminals and high-end ones until it causes you to wonder if it is really worth spending more money on a smartphone than OPPO asks us for this mobile, which not exactly cheap.
And, as we will see throughout this article, this Chinese brand has opted to introduce many of its latest innovations in a smartphone that does not hide its intention that we do not miss anything important in it. It has 5G connectivity, a panel with very careful specifications, an undoubtedly powerful processor , a lot of main memory, a first-class finish, and also an ambitious camera equipment that allows you to look without any complex to mobiles that cost several hundred euros more. that he. This is how it went in our first contact.

A design and build on par with premium smartphones
Although I have tried to ensure that the photographs in this article have the highest possible quality and reflect the finish of this mobile phone, I have to confess that it is more beautiful live. Ahead is one more mobile because it is very similar to many other terminals with a certain ambition that bet on thin frames; what makes it different is its rear . You can see it quite well in the cover photo of this article, and also in two of the images that we publish below.
In xiaomist.com The semiconductor crisis is the consequence of a perfect storm: why it is not so easy to solve it simply by making more chips According to OPPO, the multi-layer structure of graphite and steel optimizes the transfer of thermal energy through conduction.
The surface of the enclosure of this mobile phone is made of Gorilla Glass 5 , but under it there are several layers of graphite and steel that seek to increase its structural rigidity, its resistance to impacts, and also optimize heat transfer by conduction from inside the phone. smartphone to the outside.
OPPO ensures that it has designed the enclosure of this smartphone so that its thermal energy dissipation capacity allows it to withstand without problem the stress imposed by games, which is in all probability the most demanding software. When we have the opportunity to analyze this terminal in depth, we will check if the heat is not really a problem for it.
Users know that brands tend to put bombastic names to their innovations to get us to notice them, and OPPO calls the finish of this mobile phone Glow with the "Diamond Spectrum" effect precisely with this intention. According to this company, the structure of the enclosure of this smartphone and its coating make it more resistant to both impacts and scratches, but I am afraid that this is something that only a long-distance test will allow us to verify.
The way the coating on the back of this mobile phone reflects light gives it an original and beautiful finishWhat has caught my attention is something that is difficult to capture in the photographs: the way in which the coating on the back of the terminal reflects light. And it is that it does it in an uneven way. Little homogeneous. It is something that OPPO has done intentionally, and, in my opinion, it gives this mobile an original and beautiful finish because it does not present it to us with a flat color. In addition, and this I have been able to confirm during this contact, the oleophobic treatment of the back of this smartphone prevents the appearance of our fingerprints quite effectively.
The machining of the metal parts of this mobile phone is flawless, as you would expect from a high-end device. In addition, the slight curvature of the back and sides of the enclosure causes it to have successful ergonomics, although this is something that we can find in many other smartphones for years, so it is not a distinctive feature. One more note: in the next photo we can see that the curved profile of the Reno6 Pro has been replaced by a completely flat aluminum frame on the Reno6.
As usual, the USB-C connector housed in the base of this mobile phone is flanked by the SIM card slot (supports dual SIM) and by one of the speakers. It is capable of processing Dolby Atmos audio, and during my tests I was able to confirm that it sounds unusually good . In this area, what surprised me the most was its ability to deliver a high sound pressure level while keeping distortion under control, something that many other high-end and premium smartphones do not achieve.
Your photographic hardware aspires to leave no loose ends
In the table of specifications that we publish a little higher you can see that this mobile phone incorporates a set of cameras that has nothing to envy to that proposed by other more expensive terminals. In fact, it bets on four rear cameras (and a small surprise that we will explore later) and a single front camera equipped with a 32-megapixel IMX615 sensor manufactured by Sony that works hand in hand with an lens with an aperture value f / 2.4.
This mobile phone incorporates a set of cameras that has nothing to envy to that proposed by other more expensive terminalsThe main camera of this smartphone is supported by a 50 megapixel IMX766 sensor, also manufactured by Sony, and by an lens with an aperture value of f / 1.8. This unit has optical stabilization . The ultra-wide-angle camera, for its part, relies on a 16-megapixel sensor and an lens with an aperture value of f / 2.2, specifications consistent with the shooting scenario that this unit is going to face.
In xiaomist.com It sets the rules on the internet, and yet for many people it is a complete stranger: what is the IETF and why is it so influentialThe telephoto lens of this mobile phone is not the most ambitious we have seen, but on paper it does not look bad at all. And it is that it incorporates a 13 megapixel sensor that works in tandem with an lens with an aperture value of f / 2.4. Its hybrid zoom amounts to five times. The fourth and last unit that resides in the rear module of this terminal is a macro camera that relies on a 2 megapixel sensor and an lens with an aperture value of f / 2.4. This latest camera seems to be inspired by the one that OPPO's most ambitious and expensive Find X3 Pro 5G proposed to us in April.
And, finally, we come to the little surprise that I have anticipated a few lines above. One that represents a touch of originality in an area, that of photography with mobile phones, in which it is not easy to innovate. And it is that the camera module of this smartphone also contains a color temperature sensor that seeks to provide the photographs taken with this mobile with a color balance that is as reliable as possible.
OPPO ensures that its engineers have devised a new algorithm that seeks to increase the quality of background blur in photographs and videos
During the presentation of the Reno6 Pro, OPPO has ensured that its engineers have devised a new algorithm that seeks to increase the quality of the background blur ( bokeh ) both when using it in photographs and videos. It also promises to have significantly optimized the performance of this mobile when ambient light is scarce, a use scenario that many devices choke on. Even some of the premium and high-end ranges.
In this first contact we have not been able to test the cameras of this smartphone with due meticulousness, but it is something that we hope to be able to do in a deeper analysis that we hope to be able to publish as soon as possible. In any case, the photographic hardware that OPPO has integrated into this terminal seems ambitious enough to deal without complexes with most of the mobile phones with a photographic vocation that we can find in stores today.
Its screen convinces and its fluidity puts the icing on a well-tuned experience
The experience that a smartphone offers us is closely linked to the quality of its screen. If its resolution, native contrast ratio, color rendering ability, and brightness delivery fall short, our perception of device quality will suffer. But this mobile phone does not have this problem because the AMOLED panel that it incorporates is state of the art, and, in practice, it performs superbly .
In xiaomist.com TOF 3D Cameras: How It Works and Why The Latest Great Innovation in Photographic Smartphones Is So AppealingIts screen has 6.55 inches, Full HD + resolution (2400 x 1080 dots), a native refresh rate of 90 Hz and a maximum brightness delivery capacity, according to OPPO, of 1100 nits . During my tests, I did not hesitate to place the Reno6 Pro in direct sunlight at noon, and it passed this test with good marks. This brand ensures that the screen of this mobile is capable of reproducing 100% of the DCI-P3 color space, and also that it can process HDR10 + content . It sounds good, and, above all, it fits with what users can demand of an 800-euro smartphone.
The processor in this mobile phone is not the most powerful Snapdragon chip Qualcomm currently has, but it doesn't matter. Move ColorOS 11.3, which is the customization layer that OPPO has placed on top of Android 11, with a very convincing ease .
OPPO promises us that SuperVOOC 2.0 technology manages to charge the battery of this mobile to 100% in 38 minutes
It also runs the apps almost instantaneously, and, which is undoubtedly the true litmus test, with the games it feels very comfortable, so much so that I am convinced that no one will miss a Snapdragon 888+ processor in this terminal. it would certainly have made it more expensive .
Another point in favor of the experience that this mobile phone offers us is its loading speed. OPPO has integrated 65-watt SuperVOOC 2.0 technology into it , and its numbers are attractive. In fact, it promises to charge 25% of its 4500 mAh battery in just 5 minutes, and 100% in 38 minutes. We have not been able to confirm these figures, but we will do so as soon as we can thoroughly analyze this smartphone.
This formula works: keep going this way, OPPO, please
The taste in my mouth that this mobile phone has transmitted to me in this first contact is very positive. It has a careful design, a meticulous construction that does not lose sight of how important cooling is, a very good quality AMOLED screen, and, in short, state- of-the-art hardware that offers us the necessary muscle for this smartphone to face with guarantees to practically any scenario of use.
Its hardware offers us the necessary muscle so that this smartphone can confront virtually any use scenario with guarantees.In addition, its endowment of cameras, as we have seen, is ambitious. As much as the terminals of more than 1000 euros are in this area. I think that now that we have come this far it makes sense to return to the reflection that I have proposed in the first lines of this article. This mobile phone is not cheap, and not everyone can or wants to spend 800 euros on a device of this type, but the experience it proposes invites us to consider whether it is really worth investing more money in a smartphone.
