How to put track on a smartphone Oppo Reno

I put the Reno 3 Pro to test and here is my review. Oppo is famously known for giving good designs and some interesting patterns on its smartphones across ranges. When the Reno series was introduced in India, it took the market by storm of course, in terms of sales but also from the perspective of the design. Reno 3 Pro carries the legacy forward and I think it is one of the uber gorgeous phones I have seen so far. A phone should look good and stand out from the crowd something that Reno 3 Pro has meticulously done. The smartphone has a dual-tone gradient on the glass back that just radiates different shades of the two colours when held at various angles against a light source.

I love how deftly Oppo has crafted the rear on the Reno 3 Pro with an eye-catching finish.

But it is not glass. Oppo has used polycarbonate material with a glossy touch to mimic glass on the Reno 3 Pro. It is also why the phone feels so light lighter than the Realme X2 Pro even. Also, the rear panel is prone to fingerprints a lot. Oppo has given curved edges to the back of the Reno 3 Pro, which, thoughtfully so, allows for a good grip.

The back of the smartphone has a rectangular camera island that just protrudes out. It is so outward that the phone starts to wobble when kept on a flat surface. I suggest you buy a mobile case for the Reno 3 Pro to avoid any potential chances of falling.

The camera island, however, has a short wall around it for protection against scuffs. The Oppo Reno 3 Pro has a power button on the left and the volume rocker on the right both reachable to my fingers. The speaker, however, is inconveniently located and is blocked by the palm when holding the phone sideways. Both top and bottom ends have microphones each on the Reno 3 Pro. The SIM card tray is also on the left, right above the volume control buttons.

Moving on from the rear, the Oppo Reno 3 Pro has a 6. It is and smartphone makers are still struggling to find the best location for front cameras. To be honest, punch-holes are not a distraction anymore, but it would have been nice to see some new design. The bezels are adequately slim, and the phone has a good grip, considering how tall the display is. Moreover, the stickler in me would have liked if Oppo had paid some attention to detail on the punch-hole design.

The pill-shaped cutout has a reasonable distance from the top left, which I find awful.

This not only hogs the space unnecessarily but also makes the status bar congested in an event of multiple notifications. The display, particularly, is an impressive one it produces good colours that are also vibrant but oversaturated sometimes. But that is doable for when I am using the smartphone under bright sunlight.

The outdoor legibility is impressive, but the colour accuracy dives. There is also a fingerprint sensor embedded under the display it's an optical sensor and works accordingly nothing fancy but works well. Now, I have used a good number of smartphones that have a higher refresh rate. Display with refresh rates of 90Hz and Hz not only feel smoother when being used but they are also upping the overall value of money quotient of the phone.

Unfortunately, that is not true for the Oppo Reno 3 Pro. Despite being a Rs 30k phone, the Reno 3 Pro compromises on the higher refresh rates for the display, which is off-putting for me. It is quite strange for Oppo to have ignored something that is touted as one of the selling points of phones these days. The Oppo Reno 3 Pro is an upper mid-range phone, which is why it is expected to perform well, if not the best.

The smartphone is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Helio P95 processor, which has made its debut. The Oppo Reno 3 Pro scored in the test, which is good. Now, these scores are something brands go gaga over and include them in their marketing pitch. But what about the real-world performance? In my time with the Oppo Reno 3 Pro, I did not face any lag, whatsoever. I could juggle between apps, ranging from those that hog too much memory to those that are lightweight in terms of consuming RAM.

Even with the games open in the background, I could resume using other apps without any stutters. The MediaTek Helio P95 processor does a good job of handling too many memory-intensive apps concurrently. However, I noticed a small lag when opening the camera app with so many apps open in the background.

In an otherwise scenario, the camera app opens smoothly. Also, if you are planning to use this phone for a lot of gaming, you may want to skip this because, based on my usage, the processor is a little underwhelming in front of the tall claims that the company made. It has everything that Android 10 offers dark mode, granular control on notifications, and more. In comparison with its previous-generation version, the ColorOS 7 has not changed much in terms of functionalities.

A lot of features are still missing in ColorOS 7, especially if I see it as custom software that should ideally be tweaked to give new and better features.

A highly competitive price

Moreover, the native browser and UC Browser on the Reno 3 Pro pestered me with a flood of ads in the notification drawer, some of them being unsavoury, to say the least. I had to get rid of them manually. But ColorOS 7, otherwise, looks good. The icons and the overall interface have been bettered, along with some cool animations and system sounds. The Oppo Reno 3 Pro has a mAh battery under the hood. I can undoubtedly say that the Reno 3 Pro is one of the best smartphones that are known for their battery life. The battery on the Reno 3 Pro lasts for more than a day on a single charge, with a mix of normal and heavy usages.

The screen-on time on the Reno 3 Pro is about eight hours, which is impressive. But the device begins to consume more battery when it is running a heavy game, but that is doable since there is fast charging on the phone. Oppo could have gone for the 65W fast charging, as is available on the Reno Ace in China. But, guess, that was something reserved for the spinoff Realme to use and claim the title of launching an India-first phone with the technology. But, my job is to tell you all the aspects, nonetheless, including the cameras. The Reno 3 Pro has four cameras on the back, including a megapixel Samsung sensor as the main snapper, a megapixel telephoto lens, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a 2-megapixel mono lens.

There are two cameras on the front a megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. Battery life according to customers Standard. Speed class Good.
