The OPPO Reno6 series of smartphones has been available for a little bit now. Being a Reno device, the main focus was its camera and its many portrait photo features. That said, OPPO is now partnering up with what they call “the perfect partner” – Shiseido. Shiseido is one of many renown cosmetic brands that have been focusing on creating and delivering products which allow anyone to look their best; and – as OPPO put it, “when Shiseido helps you look your best, the OPPO Reno6 Z helps you capture your best portrait pictures!”.

OPPO’s Reno6 series was recently announced. However, the series was a little incomplete without the Pro variant. Joining the OPPO Reno 6Z and the Reno 6 is the Reno 6 Pro which will be available exclusively via LAZADA.

Of course, being a Reno flagship, the Reno6 Pro comes with a quad-camera setup. The main camera is a Sony IMX766 sensor which OPPO has co-developed. This is complemented with a 16-megapixel wide-angle camera, a 13-megapixel telephoto camera and a 2-megapixel macro camera. The OPPO Reno 6 Pro also comes with a dedicated colour temperature sensor which allows it to capture more realistic colours.
Keeping with other Reno flagships, the OPPO Reno6 Pro also focuses on camera performance. OPPO has augmented the camera setup on the OPPO Reno6 Pro with AI algorithms which allow it to capture higher quality images with more detail than before. The smartphone’s camera comes with a new Bokeh Flare Portrait Video which allows users to capture video with the much sought after blurry background effect. In addition, it also has AI highlight video which allows the phone to optimize videos according to the ambient lighting of the surroundings. It also has focus tracking to keep your subject in focus throughout your video.

The new OPPO Reno6 series will be running on MediaTek’s Dimensity processors. The Reno6 5G will be running on the new MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC (System on a Chip) while the Reno6 Z will be running on MediaTek’s 800U 5G SoC. Both are octa-core processors which are capable of processing data at speeds of up to 2.4GHz. Of course, the Dimensity 900 is slightly more capable with larger, more efficient cores. Both of the smartphones also come with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display. The Reno6 5G has the additional benefit of a 90Hz refresh rate and 180Hz touch sampling rate.
Keeping Smartphone Photography in Focus
OPPO’s Reno series has carved a name for itself when it comes to cameras. The Reno6 series aims to continue that tradition. The two models come with similar setups; the Reno6 5G comes with a triple sensor setup. It has a 64-megapixel main camera sensor which is paired with an 8-megapixel wide-angle sensor and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. These are complemented with a colour temperature sensor for better colour accuracy. The Reno6 Z, on the other hand, comes with the same but lacks the colour temperature sensor. Both have a 32-megapixel selfie camera.
OPPO is touting even better portrait pictures thanks to enhanced technology in the Reno6 series. The new smartphones come with new Focus tracking which has never been done in an OPPO smartphone to date. The feature will enable users to identify and track subjects to keep them in focus. The feature also helps with stabilization to keep the video perfectly steady.

The Reno6 series is also pushing portrait photography when it comes to smartphones. The new entries will be able to take Portrait Beautification in videos which will blur the background slightly while keeping your subject in focus. The technology is driven by AI-enabled algorithms which track 193 different facial points in video mode. Together with this portrait photography on the Reno6 is enhanced with Bokeh Flare Portrait which will allow users to capture pictures with light effects – similar to those from professional cameras.
Powered for All Day Performance
Together with the camera technology and cutting edge processors, the Reno6 series is also expanding on OPPO’s RAM Expansion technology. The technology, which first debuted on the Find X series, allows the smartphone to extend its built-in 8GB of RAM with up to 5GB of additional RAM from the internal storage. This allows the phone to dynamically adapt to the needs of its users while maintaining a smooth User experience.
The Reno6 5G is powered by a 4,300mAh battery with support for 65W SuperVOOC 2.0. This charging technology allows the phone to get to 100% with just 28 minutes of charge. The Reno6 Z, however, comes with a slightly larger 4,310mAH battery with support for 30W SuperVOOC Flash Charge 4.0 which allows it to be charged in 49 minutes.
