Smartphone innovation is moving very fast as manufacturers work towards meeting modern technology and customer needs. Phone makers have to stay on top of their game in order to retain customer loyalty and to attract new users. One of the most foot forward phone manufacturers of our time is OPPO, which has recently released the OPPO Reno 11 and OPPO Reno 11 Pro, both of which are on 5G connectivity. The series of well-crafted phones offers a great journey both for tech enthusiasts and casual users alike.
OPPO phones have always come with captivating designs and the Reno 11 series is no exception. The devices boast a sleek slim profile with gentle curves which give it ergonomic characteristics. OPPO has used premium materials, making it elegant looking with lots of class. This is something every phone user would want.
The phone comes in two colours, Wave Green and Rock Gray. The Wave Green is particularly appealing for me given the uniqueness of the colour. It has a screen size of 6.7”, quite some real estate to work with be it for catching up on social media, watching movies and/or series as well as gaming. Speaking of visuals, the device has a resolution of 1080*2412, quite bright and well balanced. This resolution gives users a great user experience with vivid crystal clear colour displays. A refresh rate of 120Hz ads to the smooth operation of the phone due to high responsiveness.
The OPPO Reno 11 5G is not just about looks. Underneath its stylish exterior lies a powerhouse of performance, due to the advanced hardware and intelligent software optimization that OPPO has put in place. It has a powerful Mediatek Dimensity 7050 processor and as we know, a processor is pretty much the brain of any phone and a powerful one works towards superior performance.
Still on superior performance, the OPPO Reno 11 5G has ample RAM at 8GB and internal storage of 128GB. With these, users can confidently store many memories in form of photos and videos without the fear of the phone filling up or getting bogged down. The OPPO Reno 11 5G effortlessly handles multitasking and demanding applications with ease. Whether you’re juggling work tasks, streaming videos, or gaming, the device delivers a smooth and responsive experience without any annoying lags and glitches.
Photography lovers are in for a good time with the OPPO Reno 11 5G which is equipped with a 50MP main back camera, supported by 32MP Telephoto and 8MP Ultrawide. Selfie fans are also in for great photography with the 32MP front camera with HDR and Panorama. Whether you’re shooting in bright daylight or low-light environments, the camera system delivers consistent results and you get good results all the time.
Both cameras will shoot video in 4K, quite a feat in a mobile device. They also come with AI capabilities that take photography to the next level, especially at this time when AI is becoming mainstream. A good mobile phone camera unleashes people’s photography potential, and when one takes the time to learn the camera and tinker with it here and there, they could easy take pro photos.
A good phone is not complete without a reliable battery and for this, OPPO has fitted the Reno 11 5G with a 5000mAh battery with 67W fast charge. Fast charge came to be quite the game changer in mobile phones and OPPO is quite the leader of the pack with Super VOOC technology. The 67W will charge the phone from 1-100% in just 45 minutes. I often say that once you go fast charge there is no looking back. For me this kind of fast charge means that I’m never out of charge because even when I have just 10 minutes, that’s enough to get the phone to almost half charge.
For the level of power and performance that the OPPO Reno 11 5G offers, it is certainly a worthy purchase at the Ksh.67,000/- give or take. This is a device I’d certainly recommend.
