Hardware
The Oppo Reno 3 Pro 5G features the following hardware details.
Design
The design of this device is similar to that of Realme X2 Pro and One Plus 7 Pro. It has a sleek design with a thickness of 7.7 mm. It fits comfortably on the hand and also feels lighter than most phones as it weighs 171g only. It has an aluminium build with the front and back made of glass. It is protected with a Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The phone has smoothly curved edges and a flat top and bottom.
The back houses the quad-camera array that is vertically placed on the left. The top and bottom bezels are thin, which largely increases the viewing frame. The punch hole is relatively tiny and is not a bother during the viewing of videos and movies. The SIM tray, USB C port, and speaker are located at the bottom while the volume rockers are placed on the left side.
Display
The phone comes with an AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with a 90 Hz refresh rate. User experience with such a refresh rate is top-notch. It has a maximum brightness of 800 nits, which enhances the overall look of images and colours.
The 6.5-inch display screen has thin top and bottom bezels, leaving one with a whole 89.7% screen to body ratio. The display resolution is 1080 x 2400 pixels, with an aspect ratio of 20:9. It has a pixel density of 402 PPI.

Processor, storage, and performance
The device runs on a Qualcomm SDM765 Snapdragon 765G chipset. It comes inbuilt with an octa-core CPU, supported with an Adreno 620 GPU. The graphics processor is fast and rarely experiences slowdowns or buffering, especially during PUBG gaming. It does not experience heating during intense gaming sessions. The combination of the Snapdragon chipset and Adreno 620 enhance the overall performance of the device.
The phone comes in two variants, 128GB/ 8GB RAM and 256GB/12GB RAM. With such amounts of internal memory, there is no need for external storage. For this, it does not come with a microSD slot.
Battery
The battery that comes with the Oppo Reno 3 Pro 5G is a bit lower than other phones in the same price range. It comes with a 4025 mAh Li-Po non-removable battery that can give you up to 12 hours of screen time. Luckily enough, it is fast charging (30W), which means you will get to full charge in less than an hour. The use of the Snapdragon 765G chipset also highly improves battery life.
Speaker and call quality
The device comes with dual speakers that have loud and clear sounds. It, however, does not have a 3.5mm jack for your headphone and external audio devices with a cord. Dolby Atmos Sound technology allows the sound to be distributed throughout the phone. Even with the speakers located at the bottom, the sound is balanced, loud, and clear.

Camera, video and image quality
Oppo is known for its capable camera lenses that take top-notch shots. What are the camera features for this one? Oppo Reno 3 Pro 5G features a quad-camera set up and a 32 MP selfie camera. The dual-led flash, panorama, and HDR features enhance the quality of images and videos captured.
The first is a 48 MP, f/1.7 (wide) primary camera. It comes with the PDAF(Phase-Detect Autofocus Feature) and OIS(Optical Image Stabilization) feature to ensure the sharpness of the image is well captured. Pictures taken with this lens are well lit with excellent detail.
The 13 MP, f/2.4 telephoto camera also has the PDAF feature and 2x optical zoom. The 8MP ultrawide camera has an f/2.2 aperture. Shots taken with this camera cover a wider area and the clarity is at an acceptable level, especially under natural light. The other one is a 2 MP black and white camera with an f/2.4 aperture.
The 32 MP selfie camera has an aperture of f/2.4 and a 26mm (wide) angle. Portrait shots captured with it have deep colour concentration and detail.
Videos taken by the main camera can be taken with a resolution of either 2160p@30fps or 1080p@30/60fps. The sound quality and stability of the video shots are quite notable.
