Exciting Camera Features to Capture Fun Moments with Friends
The OPPO Reno5 series features an all-new camera system with a 64MP rear quadcam matrix and a 32MP ultra-clear front camera. Powered by the OPPO Full Dimension Fusion (FDF) Portrait Video System, OPPO introduced a powerful range of AI-assisted features, collectively known as the AI Highlight Video, which is a first within the industry to automatically detect ambient light in a scene and improve the video’s quality accordingly by applying OPPO’s industry-leading Ultra Night Video Algorithm and Live HDR Algorithm. For entertainers such as Azira Shafinaz and Sophia Liana, there are often times when inspiration hits and the duo think of an interesting choreography for their performances. With the Ultra Night Video Algorithm, they are able to capture crisp, bright, and detailed videos to record their dance moves, regardless of whether they are at a low-lit studio or backlit stage, as it will automatically brighten the scene. Backlit scenes will also be detected, in which overexposed areas will be reduced by the Live HDR Algorithm. Both functions leave videos with better exposure and brightness, less noise, as well as clear and natural colours with just one click of the “AI” button while in video mode.
Besides that, Azira and Sophia are also impressed by the Night Flare Portrait feature on the OPPO Reno5, which allows them to capture stunning night videos or photos effortlessly and share their exciting night adventures in the city with their followers on social media. This feature adds a dream-like element to your photos and videos by blurring out lights in the background to create beautiful bokeh effects.
There is also a new Dual-View Video feature that enables video to be captured from the front and rear cameras simultaneously. This double-perspective recording function effortlessly stitches a video featuring both the user and the subject being captured, in the same video frame at once – perfect for those who want to enter the vlogging scene. This feature is a favourite for both Pauline Tan and Emily Chan as it allows them to record precious moments from different perspectives, minus the hassle of editing. Besides recording a short rap performance that was presented during the online launch, the duo enjoyed themselves by making some funny videos with the Dual-View video using the three different screen layouts: Split, Round and Rectangle mode.
The FDF is an imaging system designed for superior portrait video effects with two engines, the Quality Enhancement Engine and the Portrait Perception Engine. The Quality Enhancement Engine helps capture clear video in any conditions, whether in night or backlit scenes, while in motion or standing still. The Portrait Perception Engine on the other hand defines fine-grained criteria for portrait effects to help deliver naturally processed human subjects and backgrounds videos. Together, the highly intuitive system delivers an unmatched experience that not only captures portrait videos in perfect quality but does so in a way that can help users to maintain their unique style.
Both devices in the Reno5 series offer the Portrait Beautification Video, a feature that is capable of detecting as many as 194 key facial feature points to provide tailored optimisations specifically based on each individual. Within the feature are 8 customisable tools, offering greater freedom to refine portrait details. Users also have access to differentiated beauty effects for group images, bringing out the diversity of each individual and creating a look that suits everyone’s tastes. This feature was demonstrated by Elizabeth Tan to Talitha during the online launch, and Talitha was amazed by the effects of this feature, which is able to refine facial features without being too unnatural or awkward looking. The best friend duo, who are both fitness enthusiasts, also tried out the Ultra Steady Video 2.0, which was able to capture stable and clear videos as they jogged, skated and rode a bike around their neighbourhood.
Last, but not least in the imaging department, is the upgraded performance of portrait shots, thanks to the OPPO Image-clear Engine. This system-level optimisation allows users to take clear snaps of moving subjects, or quickly capture unforgettable moments as and when they occur. The phone also supports AI Scene Enhancement，providing tailored optimisation for colour, saturation and brightness in 22 different scenes, including cats, text, fireworks, sunrises and sunsets.
After capturing various content throughout the day, there is usually the trouble to edit and combine curated videos and photos to be shared with friends and family on social media. With the Reno5 series, the video editing process was an absolute breeze for Talitha and Elizabeth, as they used the built-in video editing software, Soloop, to generate their vlog of the day. There are intuitive features such as the Auto Generate feature and Shoot Like An Influencer feature, which provides a shortcut solution to creating trendy and fun videos, just like those of a professional content creator.
Enchanting Colours and Design
The Reno5 series are available in two beautiful and mesmerising colours – Galactic Silver and Starry Black. With the brand-new Diamond Spectrum process, the Galactic Silver creates a whole new visual effect that can bring out thousands of colours, depending on the direction of light. When looking from different angles or in different lighting, the phone appears in completely new colours. Galactic Silver is also finished with the Reno Glow process, which is a unique AG glass process designed by OPPO, giving it a subtle glittery detail on the back cover, as though millions of diamonds are embedded into it, while being fingerprint resistant.
Aside from two standout colours, Reno5 is exquisitely designed to be compact and sleek. Weighing 172g (Galactic Silver is 180g) and only 7.9mm thick, the phone leverages advanced COF packaging to further shrink the bottom edge of the display by 28% compared with Reno4 to just 3.98mm, delivering a more immersive edge-to-edge display experience with a 91.7% screen-to-body ratio comparing with 90.7% of Reno4. Additionally, Hidden Fingerprint Unlock is integrated underneath the display to ensure instant unlocking while keeping data secure.
On the front of Reno5, the 6.4-inch 90Hz AMOLED screen with a single punch-hole design delivers a more vivid touch, which, combined with a crisp FHD+ (2400x1080) resolution and silky smooth 90Hz refresh rate, make for a life-like entertainment experience. The Reno5 also comes with Netflix HD and Amazon Prime Video HD Certification, allowing you to stream content in even greater detail. Furthermore, the low-blue light screen, fully tested, verified and certified by the world-renowned SGS, is designed to protect users’ vision under prolonged usage.
As for the Reno5 Pro, it sports a 6.5-inch 3D curved Super AMOLED display, providing a smooth, rounded touch with borderless immersion. The 90Hz refresh rate and up to 180Hz touch sampling rate ensure a silky-smooth feel whether playing games, or when switching between apps. The screen is also HDR10+ certified and comes with Netflix HD Certification and Amazon Prime Video HD/HDR Certification, offering a higher dynamic range and a more vivid visual experience. Furthermore, the screen is certified by leading testing company SGS as an “SGS Eye Care”.
Supercharged Efficiency
Among the Reno5’s many outstanding performance features, the ultra-fast 65W SuperVOOC2.0 Flash Charge is another highlight that will change users’ smartphone habit. It can charge the Reno5 to up to 100% of its battery power in 35 minutes. A large 4,300mAh battery allows for all-day use, even for the most demanding users. This was an attractive feature to Talitha, as she is constantly out and about for work and mentioned that she forgets to charge her phone at times.
The Reno5 integrates a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G, an integrated 5G mobile platform that has been widely proven to deliver top-tier 5G performance. On the other hand, the Reno5 Pro features MediaTek’s latest flagship 5G-integrated SoC, the Dimensity 1000+, for top-of-class 5G capabilities. It supports the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard for reliable, ultra-fast and comprehensive connectivity. And to ensure a consistent and stable 5G experience, OPPO has also designed the Reno5 Pro with a 360-degree surround antenna which is able to automatically connect to the best signal available. The Reno5 Pro is powered by a 4,350mAh battery and supports SuperVOOC 2.0 Flash Charge as well.
ColorOS 11.1
Reno5 comes installed with OPPO’s ColorOS 11.1 out of the box, maintaining the beloved stock Android 11 features while also providing rich UI customisation, greater efficiency, unparalleled smoothness, and strengthened privacy sought by OPPO users.
Supporting all-around customisation, Reno5 users can design their own Always-on Display, and dark-mode to truly make the phone their own. Further innovative features such as Flexdrop and Three-finger Translate with Google Lens significantly increase productivity. At the same time, Gaming Shortcut Mode, Gamer Mode, Bullet Screen Messages, and Adjustable Gaming Touch create the environment for you to be totally immersed in entertainment. Security is also enhanced at the operating system level with Private System – allowing users to create multiple accounts on the phone with partitioned app and data. Data protection on the phone has been certified by third-party organisations, including ISO, ePrivacy, and TrustArc.
