While there’s a comforting balance
across the Reno 4 Pro 5G’s feature
set, one particular highlight is its fast-
chargingcapabilities;withOppo’s
ownSuperVOOC 2.0 tech onboard
delivering an astounding 65-watt fast
charging rate.
Despite our battery tests having
found the phone sometimes lingering
on 99 per cent for a while past the
30-minute mark, for all intents and
purposes, you can refill the Reno 4 Pro
5G’s cell in half an hour from flat and
it’llalreadyhavereachedtwo-thirdsfull
afterjust 15 minutes of charging.
In testing, total longevity of 11 hours
and 50 minutes is also commendable,
although real-world screen-on time
clocked in at a more modest five hours.
That’s still enough to get you through
a day with a decent amount of use
under your belt though, and if you
do feel battery anxiety creeping in,
we’ve already proved that it takes just
minutes to rectify the notion of ‘low
power’, thanks to that blisteringly-fast
SuperVOOC charging.PCMark Battery
