Two years ago, OPPO introduced the first model in the Renault line, the 10X Zoom. The device was a true flagship, although the manufacturer has since turned to the middle class.

  We get the same 6.5-inch AMOLED display that comes with rounded sides, but the hardware has been significantly updated. It is the first new smartphone to run the new MediaTek Dimension 1000+ processor, which has significantly improved performance.

  At the back we have a quad camera system with 64 MP main lens. At just 7.6mm thick, the OPPO manages to fit a 4,350mAh battery, with 65W of fast charging, Wi-Fi 6 and Android 11-based Chloron OS11 available.


  Design and appearance

 Most of the competitors have metal and glass body, here Oppo Reno 5 Pro 5G is no different. However, it has one feature - the thickness of this case is only 7.6 mm, it is the thinnest smartphone in recent years.

There are two colors to choose from: Eastern Blue and Cosmic Black, in my opinion, the former look particularly attractive, the colors gradually shift from blue to violet. 


Itt doesn't leave fingerprints on the back in exchange for removing the mat, which also contributes to easy hand use. I wish the side frames were the same, but they were shiny and very thin.


 In the Renault 5 Pro we get a round display on both sides, which is rarely seen in this price segment. Given the case thickness of 7.6 mm, there is little room for fingers on the edges. The bells around the screen are very small, and the hole for the front camera is in the upper left corner. The power button is on the right and the volume keys are on the left.


  When the main speaker is located at the bottom, you will find a SIM card slot just to the left of the USB-C charging connector. At the top is an inscription - designed for Reno.


  Display and multimedia

   The Oppo Renault 5 Pro screen isn't much different from its Renault 4 counterparts, which isn't bad. This is the same 6.5 inch AMOLED display with full HD + resolution (402 ppi) and refresh rate of 90 Hz.


  Color saturation is fine here, though not everyone will like it all around. OPPO wanted to clarify the design, but with such a slim body, it may not be the best solution. However, the Renault 5 Pro's display is ideal for gaming and watching movies. The brightness of the panel reaches 1100 nits, there is support for HDR 10 + technology as well as many settings.


  Among them: choosing a color profile, adjusting the intensity of the dark mood, and many more. Always on mood is a great addition. You can also customize the on-screen text styling and display elements.


  Renault 5 Pro 5G camera

   The Oppo Renault 5 Pro 5G has a quad camera system on the back which includes a 64 MP main lens, 8 MP ultra wide angle lens, a 2 MP macro lens and a 2 MP monochrome depth sensor. The front camera shoots at 32MP here.


  OPPO has focused on video shooting capabilities, so the Renault 5 Pro has improved recording stability as well as HDR and AI night shooting algorithms. Artificial intelligence gives the power of full-dimension fusion portrait video function, which allows you to shoot in dark environments. To ensure this, the camera automatically selects saturation and colors to ensure that the focus of the subject is accurate.


  The main 64-megapixel camera shoots perfectly in any situation. These colors may seem too serious for some people, but for social media, the images are great. I have no complaints about the 8MP ultra wide angle sensor as well as the 32MP front camera.


  Software

  Late last year, OPPO promised that all of the company's new smartphones would have the latest version of Android when the updates come more frequently. True for the Renault 5 Pro 5G, the device runs Color ORS 11 at the top of Android 11.


  In many ways, Color 11 is like Oxygen 11 in many customization options. You will have the ability to control icons, fonts and even style on-mode.


  Performance

   The main problem with last year's Renault 4 Pro is performance. The Snapdragon 720G processor wasn't that powerful, which negates all the other benefits. However, in OPPO Renault 5 Pro 5G, this problem is eliminated. Here we get the new MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ chipset with incredible speed.


  Dimensity 1000+ is built using a 7-NM processing technology, it has eight cores: four high-performance cortex-A77 with a frequency of 2.6 GHz and four energy-efficient cortex-A55 with a frequency of 2.0 GHz. ۔ ARM Mali-G77 with nine shader units is responsible for performance in graphics accelerator games.


  Should you buy?

   However, if you want slim gadgets with attractive design and powerful hardware, the Renault 5 Pro 5G is the best choice. Weighing only 173 grams - the thinnest and lightest in the medium range. The Dimensity 1000+ processor delivers incredible performance in everyday tasks and sports, and the 4350 mAh battery lasts at least a day, charging at a speed of 30 minutes.
