After teasing it for a long time, Oppo’s finally unveiled the first phone under its new flagship series: The Reno.
The device’s unique selling point is certainly its camera, which offers a 10x optical zoom – double that of Huawei P30 Pro’s 5x lossless zoom capability. Sadly, Oppo’s new device is available only in China at the moment.
Notably, the Reno has a weird pizza slice-shaped popup selfie module to achieve a notch-less screen. This is quite different from the company’s flagship from last year, the Find X, which used a mechanism to slide up the entire frame to reveal the selfie module.

However, there’s no mention of 3D-face unlock. Instead, the device comes with an upgraded in-display fingerprint sensor; the company claims it’s 28.5 percent faster than the previous gen.

Apart from these, Oppo’s new handset has all the ingredients of a 2019 flagship. Here’ a look at the specs:
Specifications
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 855
- Display: 6.6-inch FullHD+ at 2340 x 1080
- RAM: 6/8GB
- Rear camera: 48-megapixel with f/1.7 (OIS), a 13-megapixel periscope-style telephoto sensor with f/3,0 (OIS), and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor with f/2.2

- Front camera: 16-megapixel with f/2.0
- Battery: 4,065 mAh
- Internal storage: 128/256GB

The phone has another, less beefed-up model which sports a 6.4-inch OLED screen and Snapdragon 710 processor, but loses the 10x zoom capability.
