South Africans have more choices than most countries when it comes to their phones, with manufacturers of all sizes available locally, but if you are in the market for a new phone, the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G should be at the top of the shopping list.
With the latest in the venerable Reno family available now, let’s look at some highlights of this juggernaut to see why it could be your next purchase.
1. Quality
From the 120Hz 3D curved screen on the front to the pro-level camera array on the back – and everything in between – OPPO has spared no expense to make the Reno10 Pro+ 5G the epitome of quality on the market. With a large 6.74-inch screen and the powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, it’s an act of engineering wizardry that the phone is still so small, with a thickness of just 8.28 millimetres. Something that small while still so powerful requires only the best in manufacturing, and that’s what you get here.
Some things have to be experienced in person to properly appreciate, such as the subtle 3D Curved design, which is made to be as smooth and comfortable in the hand as possible.
2. Value
With an RRP of just R21 999, you will be shocked by the specs of the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G and how they can match or beat out phones with much higher prices. 12GB of expandable RAM, 256GB of storage, the latest version of Android with ColorOS 13, 5G networking, and professional-level cameras simply can’t be found at this price elsewhere.
Those cameras are a 50MP main shooter, a 64MP telephoto portrait camera, a 112-degree ultra-wide-angle camera and a 32MP selfie camera. OPPO has really focused on portrait photography for this model, with the quality cameras backup up by Pro-Portrait Mode.
Making that price even more impressive is just how much you’re getting in the box. As other manufacturers are removing items from new phones, such as chargers, OPPO is giving you more than ever before. Inside the box, you will find your new Reno 10 Pro+ 5G as well as a charger and USB cable that supports the super-fast 100W SUPERVOOC Flash Charge. There’s also a SIM ejector tool, a protective case, factory-fitted protective screen film, and all the important documentation and guides you need to get going.
We’re massive fans of cases being included in the box as it gives us the peace of mind to get going with a new phone without the worry of shopping around for a new case first.
3. Reliability
The 4 700mAh will not only last all day but when you need to charge back up, it’s done in an instant. The 100W SUPERVOOC Flash Charge can go from completely flat to 50 percent in only 9.5 minutes.
Day-to-day reliability is matched by dependability over several years, as the battery health engine ensures increased battery durability for up to four years.
That battery power is channelled into the powerful Snapdragon system that can easily juggle high-demand apps like games, streaming services, and video calls all at once.
4. Aesthetics
Choose between Silvery Grey or Glossy Purple for your OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G. Both are stunning colourways with subtle intricacies that set them apart from the boring, blocky colours of the competition. OPPO calls this special blend of colours and metallic looks the OPPO Glow, which would look more at home on a supercar than a phone.
We usually love our darker colours, and the Silvery Grey is a great content with its sophisticated shimmer and stately presence. That being said, the Glossy Purple has us tempted with its gemstone-like look and feel.
No matter your choice of colour, both are a joy to hold in the hand with a velvet-soft finish.
