OPPO is showcasing their camera prowess in a new lineup of smartphones. The Reno series smartphones have already made a name for their camera technology especially when it comes to portrait photography. However, with the OPPO Reno10 series, OPPO is looking to take it a step further with the Reno10 by bringing even more camera features and closing the gap between the Reno10 Pro+ 5G and the regular Reno10.
The Reno10 Pro+ 5G Brings OPPO’s Ultra-Clear Portrait System to Life
OPPO is packing a punch with their flagship Reno10 Pro+ 5G. It’s not only got the camera setup to prove it, but it’s also coming with a flagship processor – the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Complementing this processor is 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. This combination promises to be quite the powerhouse when it comes to performance. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 has been used in many powerhouse devices including one of the most popular gaming phones – the ROG Phone 6. With the optimizations that OPPO is bringing with their new Dynamic Computing Engine, the Reno10 Pro+ is looking to be their most powerful Reno smartphone yet.
The Reno10 Pro+ comes with a triple camera setup with a 50-megapixel wide-angle sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, multi-directional phase detection autofocus (PDAF), and optical image stabilization (OIS) as the main sensor.

The Reno series is completed by the Reno10 5G and Reno10 Pro 5G. These smartphones come with a 3D Curved screen. The former has the same setup as the Reno10 Pro+ while the latter comes with an OLED instead of AMOLED. The Reno10 Pro comes with the same resolution as the Pro+ while the Reno10 comes with a FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels.

OnePlus seems to be returning to its “Never Settle” roots with the announcement of its latest flagship – the OnePlus 10T 5G. The new smartphone is poised to be one of the most affordable flagships this year and focuses on top-notch performance – even in extreme temperatures.
Never Settle with Flagship Specifications
The OnePlus 10T comes equipped with the latest from Qualcomm – the Snapdragon 8+Gen 1. Complementing this is the highest amount of RAM to be on a OnePlus smartphone – 16GB. The 10T also features RAM expansion which allows you to get a further 7GB of RAM for buttery smooth performance. This comes in addition to the new software enhancements that come in OxygenOS 12.1. OnePlus is touting that these enhancements and the RAM allow the smartphone to perform even with 35 apps suspended in the background.
That said, the OnePlus 10T isn’t just about processing. It comes with a 6.7-inch, Fluid AMOLED display capable of 120Hz refresh rates, a 720Hz response rate and HDR10+. It also has adaptive refresh rate technology which allows the display to adapt the refresh rate to suit your content. Higher refresh rates will be used when doing things like gaming while battery performance will be prioritised when doing things like reading with lower refresh rates.
The one big omission in the OnePlus 10T is the notification slider which was the company’s signature. However, OnePlus is making up for that with better connectivity. The 10T comes with 15 antennae and AI enhancements that allow it to have better connectivity and network performance.
1-100% in 19 Minutes with SuperVOOC Endurance Edition
Speaking of battery life, the OnePlus 10T comes with a 4,800mAh battery which charges via the USB-C 2.0 port on the phone. It supports SuperVOOC Charging of up to 150W. With SuperVOOV Endurance Edition, the 10T can get a day’s battery life with 10 minutes of charging. A full charge from 1-100% will only take 19 minutes.
With the growing concern of fast charging affecting battery health, OnePlus is bringing what they call the Battery Health Engine to the 10T. This system will work to ensure the best battery performance with minimal loss in battery capacity. The OnePlus 10T is also equipped with two charging pumps instead of the conventional single pump. This allows the phone to charge at faster speeds more efficiently with reduced heat and greater safety.
Unibody Design with 3 Cameras
The OnePlus 10T comes with a unibody design. The phone has been designed to be ergonomic and feels good in the hand. The rounded edges on the back make it easy to hold and manoeuvre the flat display with one hand. OnePlus has also given the smartphone a signature Jade Green colourway which is accented with a punch of deep metallic green.
Within the deep green portion lies the smartphone’s triple camera setup. Yep – triple camera. The new triple camera setup consists of a wide, ultrawide and macro sensor. The main sensor of the 10T is the 50–megapixel Sony IMX766 which comes equipped with optical image stabilization and improved HDR performance. This main sensor is complemented by an 8-megapixel ultrawide sensor and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. On the front is a 16-megapixel sensor for selfies.
Pricing & Availability

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.

The OPPO Reno5 will be retailing for MYR1,899 while the Reno5 Pro will be available for MYR2,599. Both phones will be available in Galactic Silver and Starry Black.
