OPPO's Reno series has had its own rhythm and temperament since its first generation. For example, the first generation was the first to start with the lifting camera design, the third generation started to lead the trend of thin and light 5G phones, and there were many new attempts of craftsmanship applied to the back cover, all of which are unique elements that make up the Reno series as we remember it.
So when the OPPO Reno11 series debuted with its new look and feel, we were only shocked for a moment before we began to understand the new design language.
A lot of elements added to the face value
We've previously praised OPPO's clash of elements on the back cover, such as the desert silver moon on the OPPO Find X6 series, and this time the OPPO Reno11 series brings unprecedented multi-texture stitching.
The OPPO Reno11 Pro we received comes in a turquoise green colourway, which uses turquoise-like colours and textures on the entire back cover, giving it a look and feel comparable to that of the gemstone's original ore, while also hiding a frosted texture within the texture, which makes it fingerprint-free to the touch.
Turning to the image module, its elements are immediately enriched, first of all, the entire module's decorative surface has a circle of thin Parisian studs around the edge, highlighting its image positioning; the module itself is divided into two circles, the upper circle vertically lined up with two cameras, which is a glacier patterned gemstone discs, while the lower circle is a separate area reserved for the portrait lens, the top of which uses the CD pattern; at the same time, outside the two circles of the module Adopted a design similar to the runway, the entire module uses a block of cover glass, which in turn brings a glossy touch and look, and overall, the number of elements is really pulling out all the stops.
With such a wealth of elements, the OPPO Reno11 Pro maintains a front and rear hyperbolic design, which also brings a relatively thin and light body, with a thickness of 8.19mm and a weight of 190g, which is a continuation of the Reno's philosophy of a thin and light 5G phone.
DSLR-class portrait, "DSLR" where?
In fact, when it comes to the term DSLR-grade portraits, we are more or less resistant in our minds. After all, DSLR in the end is just a technology, and even gradually abandoned by the camera manufacturers, the user with a DSLR camera does not mean that you have to use a large aperture 50mm lens to shoot portraits, DSLR and portraits of the link between the two things does not seem to be so close. We're also curious as to why OPPO chose this term to promote the Reno.
After all, we still need to take a look at the actual image performance of the OPPO Reno11 Pro. The image module on the Reno11 Pro is not too different from its predecessor's. It's a triple-camera module consisting of a 50-megapixel wide-angle main camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle, and a 32-megapixel portrait camera, which still uses a portrait lens with an equivalent focal length of 47mm and an aperture of F/2. The image module's name has been changed from the "Ultra Light" to the "Ultra Shadow" prefix. The name of the image module is prefixed from "Superluminova" to "DSLR-class".
In terms of actual performance, the OPPO Reno11 Pro delivers the familiar Reno-class performance. The familiar vibrant colours make for a good-looking image, and the familiar large bottom sensor in the main camera retains plenty of detail, so if you liked previous generations of the Reno, you'll still score well on this performance.
The performance of the two secondary cameras is also good, especially the portrait lens, even when using the digital zoom to 5 times the focal length in the shooting of distant scenes, it can produce relatively clear and good-looking images, obviously the basis of the image quality is still satisfactory and reassuring.
Of course, it's the portrait samples that are the focus of this generation's upgrades. In the past, the Reno series has implemented many portrait algorithm upgrades, and the OPPO Reno11 Pro is a masterpiece, with hardware and software collaborating to create a different portrait performance. Let's take a look at the samples.
OPPO Reno11 Pro presents a very natural depth-of-field bokeh effect, and after achieving natural three-dimensional features, it also emphasises the eye light, so that the characters look more elegant and temperament, as if they really hit the reflector and fill light on the other side of the lens.
OPPO Reno11 Pro also provides more portrait shooting modes and filters like Spot Portrait, which can also be adapted to different shooting scenes to help users express different shooting ideas and moods, and these features are also very worth trying.
Indeed, in the field of portrait photography, OPPO Reno11 Pro's performance is quite good, accurate keying algorithm, natural depth of field transition and the capture of light and shadow, supplemented by years of polishing beauty algorithms, the rendering of the image is really very taste and texture.
Comprehensive configuration performance is also good
In addition to the new thin and light appearance and good image performance, OPPO Reno11 Pro's comprehensive configuration is also quite good, first of all, performance, it replaced the "full-blooded" version of the first-generation Snapdragon 8 + flagship platform, which is more than a year after the release of a platform continues to be widely recognised, but also with the With LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 flash memory, this is even more powerful than the previous generation's "mega-cup", so it's clear that OPPO really wanted to "leapfrog" this generation as well.
With this excellent energy-efficiency ratio of the platform corresponds to the OPPO Reno11 Pro's 4700mAh battery, the capacity of this compared to the previous generation of a small increase, the more critical is that it is also committed to not the first batch of users to buy the user day to launch a four-year battery replacement programme, four years of battery capacity of less than 80% of the battery can be replaced free of charge a brand-new battery, which is a peace of mind highlights of the service.
As for fast charging, OPPO Reno11 Pro is still equipped with the more familiar 80W long-life version of the super flash charging, seems to be in order to meet the winter, OPPO this time specially emphasised the new Reno11 series can support the "cold mode" charging, can be at minus 20 degrees Celsius in extreme conditions for the Pre-heat charging, which will be more friendly to the northern partners.
Conclusion
Although we can read the changes in the OPPO Reno11 Pro more from the exterior level, it is undeniable that what has happened to it is actually a renewal from the inside out. With more powerful cup performance, the new ColorOS 14, and the triple camera module, it's a complete experience upgrade that delivers a comparable "mega cup" experience at a "mega cup" price point.
There's no doubt that the OPPO Reno11 Pro is still the generation that smoothly takes over the baton of iteration, showing us what the new generation of Reno looks like and bringing more and better new experiences. If you are concerned about the experience of portrait photography, you may want to try this OPPO Reno11 Pro with excellent overall performance.
