It's 2020 and there is a crazy number of phones out there rivaling for your attention. Well, one of the ways that Oppo thinks they can stand out from the crowd is by cramming some of the features normally found in top tier flagship devices into the mid-range Oppo Reno Four Pro.
This thing has superfast 65 Watt charging, a big curved display with a 90 Hertz refresh rate, and some truly impressive camera features while running on a Snapdragon 720G, and 8GB of RAM. But is that enough to make you cheat on your Samsungs and your iPhones? the Reno Four Pro, it might not even be that shocking that it's packed with flagship features. 'Cause this thing does not really feel like a mid-range device at all. It's super thin and light, but, not so light that it feels like there's nothing on the inside, you know? Like those plastic phone mockups that you see at cell phone kiosks. There's a lot in there, as we've mentioned, but we'll get to that in a moment. On the back, there's a beautiful fingerprint-resistant matte finish along with a quad rear camera array. We've got three physical buttons total, two on the left side for volume, and the power button on the right. There's a SIM card tray and microphone on the top, along with a single speaker, USB Type-C charging port, and (gasps) a headphone jack on the bottom. In these dark times, it is good to know that some brands still follow the old ways. Keep the three and a half millimeter dream alive, Oppo. Now for the display. Once again, it's hard to differentiate the Reno Four Pro from a flagship here. It's a six and a half-inch super AMOLED with 2400 by 1080 resolution, and a 92.01% screen-to-body ratio. That's helped a bit by the 3-D curved screen. Now we've seen some brands move away from the curved edge design. But for those of you who like it, this one comes with a sidebar function that you can use to pin frequently used apps. The real kicker with the display though is the 90 Hertz refresh rate, with a touch sampling rate of up to 180 Hertz. That translates to not only a smoother experience scrolling through photos or social media, but also to snap your gameplay, so you can tell your defeated enemies that they've paid too much for their phone or whatever. Now it's not the 120 Hertz that we're seeing in some of the newest flagships, but 90 is a huge step up compared to 60. And there's really just no going back. Now, after all that snappy gameplay, obviously, you're gonna need to recharge. And that's where their 65Watt charging comes in handy. Oppo calls their flash charging tech SuperVOOC 2.0, and they say it can fully charge the Reno Four Pro from zero to 100% in just 36 minutes. It sounds incredibly dangerous. Like, can you imagine the heat that produces? Well, okay. Actually, Oppo has been developing its SuperVOOC technology since 2014. Part of the solution is toused a dual-cell battery system in which two five-volt cells receive current in an alternating pattern, eliminating the need to reduce the voltage in order to avoid heat buildup. Pretty cool, get it? Oppo also uses specialized chips in the charging adapter, USB cable, and the Reno Four Pro itself, which check that the voltage and current levels are within permissible limits. Now, Oppo says that with only five minutes of charging, you can watch YouTube for four hours.
