OPPO Reno5 Series Makes Malaysian Debut

OPPO took the stage today to unveil their new Reno5 series which brings a new design language with the same top of the line camera technology. Since their initial release of the Reno, OPPO has quickly brought their cutting edge camera technology to the series making it one of the better mid-tier offerings.

This time, OPPO is bringing two editions of the OPPO Reno5: the regular Reno5 and the Reno5 Pro. Both devices come with 5G capabilities. However, they differ in the processors that power them; the OPPO Reno5 comes with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765G Octacore processor clocked at 2.4GHz while the Pro comes Mediatek’s Dimensity 1000+ processor. This makes the Reno5 Pro the first smartphone to have Mediatek’s latest processor in Malaysia.

Aside from that, OPPO’s mid-range heroes come with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display on the Reno5 and a slightly larger 6.5-inch SuperAMOLED display on the Pro. Both have a Full HD+ resolution of 2400×1080 pixels in the 20:9 aspect ratio. They are capable of 90Hz refresh rate with 180Hz touch sampling.

Both the Reno5 and Reno5 Pro are capable of 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 which means that you should be able to get to 100% charge with 35 minutes of charging. The Reno5 comes with a 4,300mAH battery while the Reno5 Pro comes with a slightly larger 4350mAh. They charge via a USB-C port and support Wi-Fi 5 and 6 respectively.

On the camera side of things, the Reno5 series comes with a newly augmented 64-megapixel quad-camera sensor. This year the 64-megapixel main sensor is complemented with an 8-megapixel ultrawide sensor, a 2-megapixel monochrome sensor and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. On the front is 32-megapixel sensor.

While the setup may seem run-of-the-mill, OPPO has augmented the setup with new AI technology they are calling Full Dimension Fusion (FDF). This technology allows the camera to capture portrait selfies the front camera and amazingly crisp pictures with the main camera setup. This time, OPPO has made things a little better by allowing you to use its bokeh algorithm while in video mode. The technology also incorporates Live HDR algorithms that will make dark, dingy pictures and videos come to life with colour and depth. It also brings a new stabilization algorithm that OPPO claims will allow you to have super steady videos and minimise blur in photos.
