This is the global version of the Oppo Reno 10 Pro, which is different from the Chinese model of the same name, including the design and many parts of the hardware. For example, there’s a different chipset and screen here, and the charging rate has also been slightly downgraded from 100 watts to 80. But since not many of you will be buying the Chinese one, let’s focus on what this phone has to offer.
Design and build
The design of the Reno 10 Pro isn’t flashy, but the camera island, especially the part with the semicircle, does stand out. Beyond that, you get a smooth pastel-colored glass back, which is separated from the curved screen by a thin plastic frame. The overall effect is sleek and well-balanced.
Display
On the front is a 6.7-inch curved OLED display with a 1080p resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The brightness is good here, measuring a maximum of around 500 nits with the manual slider, which can boost to nearly 800 nits in auto mode when in bright sun. As expected from an OLED display, you get excellent contrast, and it also has great color accuracy if you go for the right color mode. Plus, there’s support for 10-bit color and HDR 10 Plus video. The 120Hz refresh rate smooths out your swiping and scrolling, and regardless of whether you’re in the high or auto refresh rate mode in settings, it will dial down to 60Hz when idling to save energy.
Audio
The Oppo Reno 10 has just a single bottom-firing speaker. It scored just average on a loudness test, and the sound quality is nothing to write home about either. The phone features an under-display optical fingerprint reader that is quite fast and accurate. The global Reno 10 Pro comes with just one option for storage, 256GB, and that isn’t expandable. Something worth mentioning is that Oppo has downgraded the memory type on the global model; it has the older UFS 2.2 compared to the Chinese version’s UFS 3.1.
Feature
The phone runs Oppo’s ColorOS 13.1 on top of Android 13, and it’s among the more deeply customizable interfaces out there. One feature you don’t see just anywhere is an IR blaster, so you can use the phone to control appliances with it. Besides that, though, the experience is basically the same as what you’d find on any other Oppo, Realme, or OnePlus phone lately, since they’re all owned by the same company and have the same core software package. Because of this, if you’d like to get a more in-depth look at the software features, you can actually check out our dedicated Realme UI video.
Chipset
Unlike its China-based sibling, the international Reno 10 Pro is based on a Qualcomm chipset, a Snapdragon 778G 5G. It’s a couple of years old by now but not underpowered. In benchmarks, the Reno 10 Pro sits lower on the charge than competitors with more recent chipsets, but its performance is adequate. There’s enough power here for casual gaming and even more intensive titles if you temper your expectations.
Battery liffe
The Reno 10 Pro has a 4600 milliamp-hour battery, and battery life is good, posting an overall endurance rating of 104 hours in our tests. The charging speed is impressive when you use the bundled 80-watt charger with it. We were able to charge the phone from 0 to 58% in 15 minutes, and a full charge took 30 minutes.
Camera
The Reno 10 Pro has a 50-megapixel main cam, a 32-megapixel telephoto unit, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera. The main cam bins pixels four to one to produce 12.5-megapixel photos by default. These look good with a high level of detail, true-to-life colors, and well-balanced contrast and dynamic range. However, there is some edge softness, and you can see some visible noise in those areas too
