he Reno 10x Zoom
isn’t Oppo’s first
high-end phone to
hit the UK, but it’s
fair to say none of its previous
efforts got a huge amount of
attention. The Reno 10x Zoom
has got that alright... and with
good reason.
This is one of the most
camera-tastic phones around,
thanks to a periscopic telephoto
camera that delivers enough
optical zoom to get you right
up that grizzly bear’s left nostril
without having to worry about
his temper.
It also offers a fancy front
with almost non-existent
bezels, but does without the
curved edges of rivals like
the OnePlus 7 Pro, Samsung
Galaxy S10+ and Huawei P30
Pro – which you might actually
find makes it easier to live with.
And it adds a rather distinctive
pop-up selfie camera.
The rest of the Reno 10x
Zoom is distinctly ‘flagship’
too. It’s powered along by a
Snapdragon 855 processor,
comes with 256GB storage as
standard, and packs a 4065mAh
battery with fast charging – all
at a price that undercuts much
of the competition.
So while the sharkfin pop-up
camera is the Reno 10x Zoom’s
most noticeable feature (and
does allow for a gloriously
immersive notch-free front),
that’s not the only reason to
start taking Oppo seriously as
a smartphone maker.
