In recent years more and more brands are appearing aimed at the creation and development of mobile phones. But this is a no-brainer, we can all see how until recently unknown companies monopolize the looks of smartphone enthusiasts. What is the secret? They offer a very high quality at somewhat lower prices than much more recognized and established brands . We recently talked about the Vivo X51 5G , a mobile that met all the requirements of the first range. Well today we bring you the review of one of the models that are giving the most to talk about in the OPPO brand , the OPPO Reno 4 . Keep reading to know every detail within the sections of this device, or take a look at our video testing all its facets.

A slim and attractive design: OPPO Reno 4, opinions and video review, did we like it?

The mobile has become one more complement and companies know it. Every time we see mobiles more visually attractive, and in this case, OPPO has endowed the Reno 4 with a very attractive design . The casing is made of aluminum, with a cover on the back as a tempered glass that is very curious and visual. It reflects the lights that reach it and achieves very curious effects, although it is also a bit dirty due to the traces that remain. It has dimensions of 159.3 x 74 x 7.8 millimeters , so it is not a small mobile, this, together with some already slippery materials, makes us recommend the use of a silicone case. The weight is good news, just 183 grams that is hardly noticeable and makes it very comfortable.It can be found in three colors, which are pink, black and the one we have, blue .

Regarding the location of the terminals , the unlock button is on the right side, while the volume up and down are on the left. Above is only one of the stereo microphones, and below the type C input, other stereo microphones, the SIM card slot and the speakers, which, despite not being very large, achieve a good sound. The main cameras are, as expected, at the rear, top left, and the front fully implemented on the screen, as we will see below.

The OPPO Reno 4 screen: OPPO Reno 4, opinions and video review, did we like it?

The front surface of this mobile is 6.4 inches and has a state-of-the-art AMOLED technology . The aspect ratio, which is nothing more than the ratio of the height to the width, is 20: 9. Regarding the edges of the screen, they are palpable throughout the frame, especially in the lower one, but it is not something exaggerated. The two front cameras have their own island in the upper left, although again it is very small and does not represent a great nuisance. But if there is something to highlight on this screen, it is the great brightness it has. It is not good to use the maximum brightness on a regular basis and in situations where it is not necessary, but with the OPPO Reno 4 we can use it on mobile even if the sun falls directly on it .

Another of the new technologies that it brings us is the ColorOS 7.2 operating system . This is specially designed to appreciate colors in a way that is superior to what is normally achieved with other screens. Its operation is adjustable within the device itself and can give a lot of play in certain landscapes and colorful images. The last thing to note is that the mobile can be unlocked with the fingerprint reader implemented on the screen, or with a double tap on it. In general, a very good quality screen, with great results in all types of environment, angle and moderate distances.

Some cameras to match: OPPO Reno 4, opinions and video review, did we like it?

We come to one of the most anticipated moments for those of us who like photography. Do you have a high quality camera? To answer this question, it must be admitted that it will depend on what we compare it with. Here we have talked about semi-professional quality sensors implemented in high-priced mobiles. This is not the case with the OPPO Reno 4, although it is far from perceived as a poorly performing camera. It has everything you need, although some additions are missed such as a good telescopic sensor or curious functions that make the user investigate the camera and discover things.

The rear cameras are three; First of all, a generic 48 megapixel sensor with f / 1.7 apertures with which we can capture all kinds of images at good quality, which is normal for mobiles with these characteristics. A super wide angle of 8 MP perfect for landscape photos or places with a great amplitude, the aperture in this case is f / 2.2. Finally, a 2 MP monochrome sensor with f / 2.4 aperture, whose utility is to capture black and white images in a more “real” way, since it does not need to make a grayscale through added filters.

Finally, we have to talk about the front camera , and once again we are surprised by the great bet that companies make in getting good selfies. It is 32 megapixels so the quality, the capture of light and the color is something very surprising. So that you can check it, we leave you below a gallery with the photos taken with this camera, as well as with the rest of the sensors, putting their quality to the test.

 

Performance and internal memory: OPPO Reno 4, opinions and video review, did we like it?

This is one of the most surprising sections in the OPPO Reno 4, and it is easy to explain. If you have followed our mobile reviews, you may have noticed that one of the biggest processor developers is Qualcomm. Well, this device has one of these components, specifically the Snapdragon 765G . Considering that the company has started with the development of +800 processors , you might think that older versions are not up to the task. Well, nothing is further from reality, because the mobile works very well in all its facets. We have not noticed any problem with the interface or the ColorOS operating system, for games it also works at a great performance and it is a very good sign that we do not notice any type of screen freezing.

It is true, and this must be highlighted, that we have the 8 GB of RAM version . As we always tell you, this is very important since it will directly affect the operation of the device. Finally, we have to talk about the internal memory . In our case we have the 128 GB version, a memory that has been standardized and that is more than enough to store everything you need.

Connectivity and battery

The different connections that this device has are the most common and have already become mandatory in all brands. WiFi in its version 6, Bluetooth 5.1 and NFC as base wireless networks, as well as the option of a USB type C for cable transfers. All supported by the 5G of a phone that, in addition, has Android 10 as the operating system to support all these actions. The Reno 4 also allows to transfer presentations instantly in case we have to expose something and we have not brought a computer, as well as the printing of documents quickly with available wireless networks.

As for the battery, taking into account the design of the phone, with its low thickness and weight, we might think that the battery was not going to be powerful. Nothing is further from the truth, it is not the largest battery, but it is 4000 mAh that gives the phone a great autonomy. In addition, it has a fast charge of 60 W that works really well, since it charges the mobile in less than an hour with the adapter that includes the box. Running out of a phone will be a difficult task.

Features of the OPPO Reno 4

Availability and price of OPPO Reno 4

To conclude, we have to say that to be a mobile of these characteristics, the price is very good . It is really worth acquiring a mobile of a quality that pulls more towards the high range without making large outlays of money. It is clear that there are much more complete devices, but unless you are a great fan of this type of device, or an obsessed with constant perfection, you will be very happy with your OPPO Reno 4 .

What we liked the most is the great balance that they have managed to give to this mobile. None of its sections are forgotten, they have not taken great risks, nor have they stretched the price with excessively powerful components. For this reason, we awarded him the Gizlogic Silver Award with a mark that is very close to outstanding.
