This is one of the worst mobile phones I have ever owned after Redmi 8A. Even though the specs and performance would place this phone in the low-end category, the price tag wasn't quite in that region. The build quality is ok, but I can't help it feeling too cheap and plasticy for that price tag. I don't play games and only use a phone for general purposes. Apart from feeling bulky, (which I think is common for most phones today) it is a bit laggy sometimes. The touch screen feels a bit over-sensitive sometimes. But the display quality is not bad, colors are great. But it's not bright enough outside on a sunny day. And the worst part about the display is, when it's put on auto brightness, it goes to the dimmest level in indoors at night. Sometimes this happens outside too during the daytime, which makes it looks entirely black and renders the phone unusable until the proper brightness is set. But that's not the most annoying part, that is auto-screen-off function. I have set the voice button to end calls. So, when the screen goes off when I'm on a call, there's no option to turn it back on. The only physical key that would do it would also end the call....! So I can't have both auto-screen-off and power-button-end-calls functions, which is a really stupid design flaw.
Camera quality is ok, especially for a low-end phone. However, 64MP resolution they claim was never there. In fact, shooting in 13MP and 64MP makes no difference in clarity of image quality besides the ability to enlarge much further in the latter setting. When shooting slow-mo, there's no option to set frame rate, which is like not having a windshield in a car. And Oppo must be the only vendor for who "update" doesn't actually mean "an improvement". When I first purchased this phone, the camera had some smart features, such as document scanning. But after updates, those are gone now. And with the latest update, I've lost the "always-on-display" feature. Now I always have to turn on the screen to view time or notifications. How genius?
The best thing about this phone is 65W fast charging, which almost eliminate the necessity of carrying around a power bank. However, the battery also drains pretty fast, which is a huge disappointment.

Anyway, the Reno 4 SE is actually very similar to Reno 4 5G. If you have a bit more cash, I recommend you get Reno 5 or 6 as they have better specs (90 Hz display, 765G and same fast charging).

        It his reno 4 SE better or worst than the standard Reno 4 and the Reno 4 5g?. I'm so confused, add these to the Reno 5 line and there's just too many versions to compare.

                  Anonymous, 11 Sep 2020don't use punch hole or dual punch hole just watedrop, motorized selfie or even back ... moreHonestly? I think the hole-punch is something you must experience before talking s@#$ on. It feels weird and a waterdop might feel better, but the surrounding screen around the hole actually helps you imagine what should've been there. I can tell you, you'll appreciate it more than a waterdrop.
