There are two variants of OPPO Reno smartphones and the best of em’ all is the OPPO Reno 10x that comes with a triple lens camera in which one of it is a periscope lens that is able to capture up to 60x zoom. Not only that, but the smartphone also packs a larger display with a Snapdragon 855 processor inside which is the best CPU that you can get right now on a mobile phone.

The smartphone does have an interesting design and despite having a 10x lossless zoom and up to 60x zoom, there’s no protruding camera on this smartphone, however, the smartphone is noticeably thicker but thanks to the curves of the smartphone and the pivot rising structure camera, the smartphone feels ergonomic and very beautiful to look at.

The OLED display of the smartphone might not be perfect but it does its job well and the colors are well on this smartphone.
