Introduction and specs

The Oppo Reno5 lineup launched at the beginning of this year, but it's only now that it's getting a European release. Now, the Reno5 is here and looks well-equipped too. An OLED panel with a high refresh rate, fast charging, capable SoC, lightweight build and plenty of base storage and memory.

And in a (not so) surprising move, Oppo is releasing this one under two names in Europe. The Reno5 is launching in Eastern Europe, whereas Western Europe is getting it as the Find X3 Lite. The two models are identical in specs as you can see.

So even though we got specifically the Reno5 model for review, our review findings should apply to both devices in equal parts.

While the Oppo brand is well-known in Asia, and even though it's yet to make a name for itself in Europe, it's positioned as a premium brand elsewhere. So it's no wonder that the company avoids undercutting the competition price-wise and yet focuses on making well-executed handsets with a premium look and feel.

The Reno5 (or Find X3 Lite, if you prefer) uses a bright, 90Hz OLED panel and a 64MP main camera and it also offers one of the fastest charging technologies. It's also nicely compact and pocketable.

Probably the biggest selling point of this one is its size and ergonomics. In a market where behemoths rule, the Reno5 5G is a breath of fresh air with its compact 6.43-inch display and a weight of 172g.

Oppo Reno5 5G specs at a glance:

  • Body: 159.1x73.4x7.9mm, 172g; Gorilla Glass 5 front, plastic back and frame.
  • Display: 6.43" AMOLED, 90Hz, 430 nits (typ), 750 nits (peak), 1080x2400px resolution, 20:9 aspect ratio, 410ppi.
  • Chipset: Qualcomm SM7250 Snapdragon 765G 5G (7 nm): Octa-core (1x2.4 GHz Kryo 475 Prime & 1x2.2 GHz Kryo 475 Gold & 6x1.8 GHz Kryo 475 Silver); Adreno 620.

  • Battery: 4300mAh; Fast charging 65W, 100% in 35 min (advertised), Reverse charging, SuperVOOC 2.0.
  • Misc: Fingerprint reader (under display, optical); 3.5mm jack,

The phone also comes with 128GB of base storage, and the Snapdragon 765G 5G is nothing to scoff at.

What we can scoff at is the phone's current pricing. The launch price of €450 is quite optimistic considering that the competition in the midrange is quite heated and this phone comes with a plastic back and frame.

But let's not rush to any conclusions as this phone might offer more than what meets the eye at first glance. First, time for an unboxing.

Unboxing the Oppo Reno5 5G

The phone comes in a premium-looking box and fresh mint color. It contains the usual user manuals and the 65W-capable wall charger with a USB-A to USB-C cable.

Oppo has also thrown in a bonus case, too, along with a pair of 3.5mm headphones.
