OPPO is at it again with a duo of midrange smartphones that are looking to change the way the company approaches its midrange offerings. The OPPO Reno 11 and Reno 11 Pro showcase a blend of cutting-edge technology, innovative design, and a feature-rich experience. The approach isn’t changing too much from the Reno 10 series. However, OPPO is looking to pack even more power, features and flourish when it comes to the new Reno 11 series.

Packed with Power to Supercharge Performance

The vanilla Reno 11 boasts a vibrant 6.7-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate that promises silky-smooth transitions and an immersive visual experience. The Pro model takes it up a notch with a slightly larger 6.74-inch OLED panel, also featuring a 120Hz refresh rate and an impressive peak brightness of 1,600 nits.

The design ethos of the Reno 11 series is equally noteworthy. Both models sport a sleek and modern aesthetic, with the Pro variant subtly distinguishing itself. The displays curve elegantly at the edges, enhancing not just the visual appeal but also the overall handling experience. The punch-hole design for the selfie camera and the fingerprint scanner under the display demonstrates a commitment to both form and function.

Under the hood, the Reno 11 series flexes its muscles with formidable chipsets. The standard Reno 11 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 chipset, offering a seamless and responsive user experience. Meanwhile, the Pro model houses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, an SoC known for its prowess in handling demanding tasks with ease.

The vanilla version packs a robust 4,800mAh battery, while the Pro model, with its slightly smaller form factor, still impresses with a 4,700mAh battery. What sets these devices apart is their charging prowess. The Reno 11 supports 67W charging, ensuring a quick power-up, while the Pro model accelerates the charging game with an 80W charging speed. A 19-minute charge from 0 to 50% for the Reno 11 promises minimal disruptions to your day.

Cameras the Carry on the Reno Ethos

The camera system is undoubtedly a star feature of the Reno 11 series. Both models present users with a versatile and powerful camera setup. The 50-megapixel main camera is accompanied by a 32-megapixel portrait lens, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 32-megapixel selfie shooter.

The Pro model takes it a step further by incorporating the higher-end Sony LYT-700 sensor that should elevate the camera performance to new heights. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) across both models ensures that shaky hands don’t compromise the quality of your photos and videos. Whether you’re capturing landscapes, portraits, or selfies, the Reno 11 series promises a photography experience that resonates with both enthusiasts and casual users.

Pricing & Availability

The standard Reno 11 is priced at CNY2,499 (~RM1,640). The Pro model commands a starting price of CNY3,499 (~RM2,295).

As of now, OPPO has left the global audience in anticipation, with no official word on the international availability of these smartphones. The tech community worldwide eagerly awaits news of the Reno 11 series expanding its reach beyond China, bringing its innovative features to a global audience
