Oppo Reno 3 Pro hands-on: Motley mix of features and specifications


Chinese smartphone maker Oppo’s Reno series is known for introducing industry-first features with regard to design, imaging and performance. The company has continued with that legacy in the recently launched third-generation Reno-branded smartphone Oppo Reno 3 Pro. Starting at Rs 29,990 (8GB/128GB), the smartphone boasts a 44-megapixel dual-camera setup on the front, a first for Oppo-branded smartphones. The dual cameras are incorporated on-screen in a capsule-shaped punch-hole. Though interesting, the new on-display front camera module allows Oppo to take away the shark-fin shaped pop-up selfie camera module, which was part of the previous generation Reno smartphones.
A successor to the Reno 2, the Reno 3 Pro has notable upgrades in terms of specification and features. Here are the phone’s first impressions.
Despite carrying a high-capacity battery of 4,025 mAh and sporting a 6.4-inch screen, the phone is sleek and has a lightweight design. It is easy to hold and use, but the phone’s polycarbonate back cover seems somewhat uninspiring. On the front, the phone has a 6.4-inch super AMOLED screen of a fullHD+ resolution (1080x2340). At a time when 90Hz refresh-rate screens are finding their way into more and more smartphones, the Oppo Reno 3 Pro's 60Hz refresh-rate screen seems underwhelming. However, we will reserve the verdict on display quality for our in-depth review, which will be published soon.
