In this
blog we will discuss the Oppo's latest mid-ranger 5g phone the Oppo Reno 6. Oppo's
premium lineup of smartphones under the Reno series has recently been updated
to include the Oppo Reno 6 and the Oppo Reno 6 pro. The Oppo Reno 6 is the first smartphone to sport the MediaTek dimensity
900 chipset in a new 5g SOC for mid-rangers at the heart of the chip you have
two arm cortex a78 cores clocked at 2.4 gigahertz and 6 arm cortex a55 cores
clocked at 2 gigahertz as for the graphics the chipset comes with a Mali G68 GPU
this is paired with 8gb of ram and 128gb of ufs 2.1 storage.The Oppo Reno 6 also boasts of Oppo's ram expansion technology with the
support for vram or virtual ram up to 5 Gb unfortunately there's no SD card
slot on the device so you cannot expand the storage the phone houses a decently
sized 4300 mah battery despite its slim body the phone supports Oppo's 65 watt 2.0 fast charging as well as
for the display the Oppo Reno 6 houses a
6.43 inch flat Amoled panel with full hd plus resolution the display also comes
with 90 hertz refresh rate and 180 hertz touch sampling rate the display is
topped with gorilla glass 5 for protection you also have an under display
optical fingerprint sensor for photos and videos the Oppo Reno 6 packs a triple rear camera stack that

megapixel macro camera for selfies the phone comes with a 32 megapixel selfie
camera housed in a punch hole cut out at the top left corner of the screen the
phone also comes with some interesting features in this department such as
bokeh flare portrait video ai highlight video and others. Now moving on to the
software the Oppo Reno 6 runs android 11 based on call OS 11. In the box you
get a 65 watt fast charger as well as a usbc pair of earphones. Oppo has established its design prowess with
the Oppo Reno 6 that not only looks but also feels premium it features Oppo's patented Reno glow design that is a fruit
of the company's unique etching technology
the rear panel has a smooth matte finish with an iridescent glue that changes
color as light falls on it the phone is available in Aurora and Stellar Black colors
we got the firmware for review which looks absolutely breathtaking the panel is
also fingerprint resistant which ups the overall appeal of the phone the back
also houses the camera stack that protrudes slightly and has the word 64 MP ai
camera etched on it in contrast to the pro variant of the device that features
rounded edges the Oppo Reno 6 has a flat edge design that is reminiscent of the
iPhone 12 series design now this design choice can be polarizing to some the
phone didn't feel as ergonomic to hold to us as ones with a more rounded back
however not everyone will feel the same way additionally the Oppo Reno 6 is also super lightweight weighing
merely 182 grams and sports a thickness of 7.59 mm making it extremely sleek
and attractive the back panel however is slightly slippery to hold and we were more
confident using the phone with the provided silicone case. The Oppo Reno 6
supports the usb-c charging port with a single speaker and a sim tray at the bottom
of the device on the right you have a solitary power button and the left side
has the volume rockers the buttons are tactile and are located in easy to press
locations. The phone also features an under display optical fingerprint sensor the
sensor is moderately speedy and pretty accurate however face unlock works
considerably faster on this phone. The Oppo Reno 6 does miss out on dual stereo
speakers which is pretty disappointing at this price saying that budget phones
such as the poco m3 have incorporated it moving on to the display. The Oppo Reno
6 comes packing a 6.43 inch Amoled display with full hd plus resolution and 90 hertz
refresh rate support the fast refresh rate support ensures smooth scrolling and
flicking between apps users have the option to toggle down the refresh rate to
60 hertz unfortunately there's no adaptive refresh rate support which is
slightly disappointing at this price since phones that are much more inexpensive
have incorporated this nifty feature the panel also has a punch hole cut out for
the selfie camera on the top left hand side of the screen the display is plenty
bright to use indoors or outdoors even in harsh sunlight we recorded a max brightness
of 620 nits on the screen it feels premium and has pretty decent color accuracy
as well the screen also offers good viewing angles and vibrant colors additionally
there's minimal bezel action going on except for the slightly larger chin bezel.
The Oppo Reno 6 provides a premium performance experience despite being priced
as for software the phone runs android 11 on top of color OS 11. Oppo has the
reputation of putting in a lot of extra effort for its phone's cameras and the Oppo Reno 6 is a good example of that the
phone houses a 64 MP primary lens and 8mp ultra wide shooter and a 2mp macro
sensor it skips out on the 2mp mono lens that is present on the pro variant of
this device but this is not a huge miss the primary 64 MP lens turns out detailed
and vibrant shots in the daylight with good colors and acceptable dynamic range
in low light scenarios this lens produces decent shots although they are
sometimes plagued with a fair amount of noise
and lackluster colors thankfully. The phone's night mode more than makes
up for this fault by churning out good low light images with plenty of light very
little noise and good detail the phone still takes a long time to focus on subjects
in low light though on to the ultra-wide lens the phone captures pretty decent
pictures in daylight with good color however the dynamic range is lacking a bit
on this lens there's very little lens distortion on this 8mp lens though which
is good the 2mp macro lens shoots mediocre shots with decent color but the
detail is often lacking and the subject isn't always in focus the phone also
brings along with it some really interesting video features such as Oppo's bokeh flair video mode that adds cinematic
effects in portrait videos you also have something called ai color portrait
mode that makes subjects pop in portrait videos these options will be
appreciated by those who want an elevated videography experience on their device
for normal videography the phone allows users to shoot 4k videos at 30 fps there's
no stabilization so the videos will suffer from some shake electronic
stabilization kicks in at 1080p recording the phone's 32mp selfie camera offers
good detail and colors in most scenarios and even has pretty decent low light performance
however ensure to turn off the beauty filters when clicking selfies. if you prefer
a natural look the beauty filters although the facial features of people
aggressively and are turned on by default. The Oppo Reno 6 houses a moderately powerful 4300
mah battery with support for 65 watt fast charging while the phone's battery won't
compete with the power champs that support large 5000 or 6000 mah batteries it
is enough to power through most users through a day of usage. if you are a
power user though who consumes a lot of content on YouTube and other platforms
and play a lot of intensive mobile games expect to seek out the charger in the evening
or night after charging the device to full in the morning in battery test the
phone lost five percent of battery when playing call of duty mobile for 15
minutes and lost seven percent battery when streaming content on Netflix for
half an hour despite the phone's slightly lackluster battery capacity. Oppo's
65 watt fast charging ensures that you can charge the device back up to full in
a jiffy in test the phone's out of the box 65 watt charger powered the device
back up to full in merely 36 minutes from zero the Oppo Reno six stands tall
amidst its competition due to a stellar eye-catching design and good overall
performance while there are plenty of appealing options in this mid-range
category of smartphones. The Oppo Reno 6 price is $594 , in Pakistan 60K & in India it’s about 30K. The Oppo Reno 6 offers a good blend of looks and
performance if you wish to own a phone that stands out of the crowd. The Oppo Reno
6 becomes a very obvious recommendation since it not only looks good but also has
impressive performance good cameras and a decent battery with speedy 65 watt
fast charging.
