OPPO RENO 5 PRO 5G REVIEW: A SLIM AND SEXY CONTENDER FOR THE BUDGET FLAGSHIP CROWN

saw a lot of smartphone manufacturers jump into the low-cost flagship territory, or the low end of the premium segment. While Xiaomi had a big surprise when it announced its Mi 10 5G (Review) (it's first solid premium contender), the lower-priced Mi 10T Pro (Review) was a delight, given its camera capabilities and cut-throat pricing. Samsung, of all manufacturers, also decided to dip its feet into the segment. It launched the Galaxy S20 FE (Review), which did not do well in our review, partially because it can't part ways with the hot-headed Exynos chipset in India. And now, we have Oppo.

Launched at Rs 35,990, the Reno 5 Pro 5G takes the risky Samsung route of going with a different chipset. And it's not just a brand-new chipset for the Indian market, but a high-end one with integrated 5G that's meant to level-up and compete with the mighty Snapdragon 865.

But Oppo has another angle here, and that's design. As it stands today, the Reno is the slimmest and the lightest of the lot. And while slim and light is a good thing, it usually translates to heating issues and shorter battery life. Still, I put the Reno 5 Pro through its paces for a few weeks and here is my detailed review.

Slim and sexy design with a curvy display

The Oppo Reno 5 Pro 5G is the lightest smartphone in its segment. Given that its competition – the Mi 10T Pro, Galaxy S20 FE and the OnePlus 8T – are quite heavy, the Reno 5 feels like heaven after using those. This, along with its slim 7.6 mm waistline (that happens to be thinner than the Reno 4 Pro) gives it an excellent hand-feel, which is unheard of in this price range.
