Review Oppo Reno6 5G through the eyes of an ordinary user - the winner of our competition

The phone itself makes an amazing impression with its distinctive design.The beautiful and eye -catching back of the phone resembles frozen glass with an admixture of glitter.

The lateral edges are cut flat, referring to the latest iPhones.Such a procedure is a plus, because it gives the device an additional premium feeling and distinguishes from hundreds of other devices.

The power button with a green accent brings to me a positive association with Huawei phones.

The phone with its 6.43 "screen is large.However, I cannot say that it is uncomfortable.This is due to the narrow frames around the screen, which fills a significant part of the front.One hand is used more harder than the iPhone 11 Pro, which I use every day, but it is much more convenient than Realme 7, with which I have contact from time to time.

Tuesday - day 3

I start checking the phone more thoroughly.Configuration of the COLOROS phone is simple and allows you to transfer data from the previous device.

From the start we get a large arsenal of the Google application.In my opinion, this is a good move, because Oppo does not lose resources for design and maintaining its versions of the calendar, dialer or application for sending SMSs, when those provided by Google are already really mature and offer even more than the average user may need.

The Google calendar is simple and legible, the phone application is integrated with contacts and allows you to easily search for people and even block unwanted numbers.The message application supports the RCS standard (if our operator supports it) and also allows you to block unwanted messages.For this, of course, Gmail, Chrome and much more.

Wednesday - Day 4

I mentioned that the back part of Oppo Reno6 5G is eye -catching.However, we look at the screen every day.This one fills almost the entire front of the device.It is very bright, clear and legible.In addition, the AMOLED panel itself is refreshed with a frequency of 90 Hz and presents saturated colors and of course real black.

A fingerprint reader is hidden under the screen.It is very fast and flawless, although the phone must first be raised or wake up with a double tap on the screen, so that the option of scanning the fingerprint appears.

The phone can also be unlocked by the face after prior configuration.This unlocking method is very fast and works well, even in a dark room.It is worth noting, however, that this method is much less safe, because based on the front apparatus.

Oppo Reno works under the control of Android 11 with the Coloros 11.3 overlay.The system seems to be well optimized for the MediaTek Dimensity 900 processor used and the RAM memory, which we have 8 GB and systemically, we can expand it with an additional 5 GB.This is an interesting surgery of smartphone manufacturers in recent months.

In Coloros, we get so many personalization options that almost every element of the system can be changed and adapted under each other.Handsome applications that start in a floating window are very helpful and useful.They can be enlarged to the entire screen, and you can also attach in any part of the screen in the form of a small window and return to the application at any time.

On the main screen, after pulling your finger down, the search engine is available.You can quickly search for applications or contacts.It is worth noting that freshly installed applications are displayed only after a long time or after the phone restart.

Some settings are duplicated at times, e.g. in two different places it is possible to add a fingerprint and a face scan.Also, shortcut options, e.g. making a screenshot, are in two different places at the same time.This is a trifle, but it's good for the manufacturer to organize the menu in the next version of Coloros.

In summary, I am very pleased to use a phone with a Coloros system, which has many personalization options, it is comfortable and intuitive, although not without flaws.In addition, according to the OPPO website, in November the Reno6 model should receive an update to the Coloros 12 version, based on Android 12 (link).

Thursday - day 5

An important element of the smartphone is the sound when watching movies on YouTube or Netflix.Oppo Reno6 5G has a single speaker at the bottom of the housing.The sound is loud and clean enough.Even at maximum volume, you can't hear overdrugation and crackling.There is a bit short of low tones, but actually mainly compared to the iPhone or the flagship Samsung Galaxy.

The sound on the headphones included in the set is ... surprisingly good.The high tones are balanced, even at maximum volume the sound is pleasant.Low tones are also heard.I am very happy that the manufacturer decided to join the headphones set, which are good enough to be used every day.

I also checked the sound on Bluetooth headphones (Sennheiser HD 4.40).Also here the phone is doing great.Very pleasant sound of music and movies.The device supports the APTX codec, thanks to which the sound quality is high enough to enjoy listening to your favorite music on YouTube Music and while watching movies.When watching movies on YouTube and Netflix, there are no sound delays relative to the image, which is worth noting for a big plus.

I could not test the sound on Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus headphones, which despite the appropriate applications installed did not want to connect to the tested phone.

The quality of phone calls is really very good.The speaker for conversations generates a clear and good quality sound.Thanks to this, when connections in the LTE (Voice over LTE) interlocutor, the interlocutor is heard very clearly and sufficiently loudly.Also the people I talked to did not signal that they did not hear me or hear me poorly.

Friday - day 6

Oppo advertises the Ren6 model with the slogan "Portrait of your emotions", boasting of the background blur function when filming.Because I love to take pictures, and a smartphone with a good camera always accompanies me, I came curiosity to tests of praised photographic functions.

Reno6 5G is equipped with a triple camera, which consists of a wide -angle lens (64 Mpix, f/1.7, 26mm, 1/2.0 ″, 0.7µm, PDAF), ultrazerocial angle (8 Mpix, f/2.2, 119˚, 1/4.0″, 1.12µm) and lens for macro photos (2 Mpix, f/2.4).For selfie photos, the manufacturer used a wide -angle camera (32 Mpix, f/2.4, 26mm, 1/2.8 ″, 0.8µm).

Photos taken on a busy pooch come out differently.They are sharp and clear, although in a weaker light there are also blurred.If the dog moves when taking a photo, it's easy to get a blurred photo.

I took the following two photos with a front camera.Something interesting happened with white balance and colors - the photos look like a filter was applied.

Pictures taken on a sunny day with a wide-angle lens and on a 2-fold approximate (digitally implemented) are sharp, you can even get the impression that too sharp.The watercolor effect is visible for 5 times approximately, and in particular 10 times.

After sunset, in automatic mode, the effects are still very pleasant to the eye, even at a 5-fold close-up.

Even in the conditions of artificial lighting, Oppo Reno6 is doing well with the quality of photos.

And a few autumn shots that show good color reproduction and a good HDR action.

Night mode, called Ultra Night, supports taking photos in evening and night conditions.The photos are brighter and seem to have less mosaics on the edges, which indicates a smaller amount of noise that the software is trying to smooth.The night mode is particularly well seen in the photo of the excavator and trees with red leaves.

In night conditions, it is easy to get a photo moved even with the Ultra Night mode on, especially at 2-time close-up.

On the plus side it is worth noting that the phone copes well with white balance, both during the day and at night.Photos with street lamps look according to reality.

Reno6 copes with blurring the background in portrait photos, and the end result depends mainly on the amount of light, the distance of the phone from the photographed person and whether we use this mode on the human face or on the plush toy.The main camera in portrait mode correctly reflects the background colors if it is colorful and the front camera seems to brighten the background too much.However, both cameras get lost where most of the phones, i.e. on the hair.

For comparison, photos from the iPhone 11 Pro, which copes very well in portrait mode, although it is also not ideal, which can be seen especially in photos with glasses.

And here I give Oppo Reno6 that he managed my glasses much better.

If possible, I tried to capture the same frames with both phones.

There is also a lens for macro photos at a distance of 4 cm from the object.However, the photo taken with the main lens in the standard mode looks much better than made in macro mode.

Macro photos seem x -ray and the low separation of the matrix is visible, only 2 Mpix.It is better to let this mode be forgiven.

Picture with a wide angle lens - you can see color saturation, greater detail and even quite natural background blur.

For comparison, some of the frames made with iPhone 11 Pro.During the day the photos seem to be more plastic and natural, and after dark the shots are slightly more pronounced.

I promised you and myself that if I receive Oppo Reno6 5G tests I will check the phone as a drone camera.The idea seemed crazy, but who is not playing, he is dead?

I did what seemed crazy and impossible.Not quite as I planned, primarily because of windy weather.In addition, DJI Mini 2 is a great drone, but wearing additional 182 grams turned out to be unstable in the air and barely coped with gusts of wind.Recording from this crazy event to see HERE

In recording movies I am not a specialist, but I could not not check the most distinguishing option model, i.e. portrait mode with BOKEH.The effects are really different, but the algorithms cope with the human face much better than with the "face" of a plush toy.

Stabilization of video recordings requires enabling ultra -banking.Then the recording seems to be more smooth.

We can also use the film mode, which is something like Pro for photos.And the films are recorded in cinema proportions.

It is also worth noting that in the standard video mode you can record in 4K quality at 30 fps, and each special option, including recording at 60 fps, reduces quality to Full HD or even HD.

To sum up the photo-video capabilities of the Reno6 5G model, I can safely write that the phone takes good enough photos, with the correct reproduction and saturation of colors, although sometimes too sharp.HDR seems to work subtly, and the AI option can recognize objects in the frame and slightly overclock the color saturation.

Background blur functions in video recordings are more curiosity, although the faces recordings are much more interesting thanks to this function.First of all, I appreciate that the producer wanted to implement an interesting and distinctive function.And you can say that the phone for PLN 2499 offers functions from the iPhone 13 costing at least 1000 PLN more.

Saturday - day 7

It was about the Coloros system, camera, screen, sound and appearance of the Ren6 5G model, so it's time for battery.Oppo implemented a 4300 mAh lithium-polymer cell.I don't remember when I had the phone last time that lasted my full two days on one charge.During the tests of the phone I used as a business, so a few, several conversations a day, synchronization of company mail in push mode, and after work browsing Facebook, taking photos, recording movies and watching materials on YouTube.At work, the phone was connected only to the LTE network, and at home with the WiFi network 6. Automatic brightness setting.With my way of using the phone, I am very impressed with a single charge.I think that by using the phone you can easily get 6 to 8 hours on the screen turned on.

And since I mentioned charging, it's fast.Really fast, because 65-watt.I was very surprised how the phone connected at 14% charged in exactly 34 minutes to full.

Sunday - day 8. Summary and conclusions

Thank you if you persevered to this place and I hope you liked the review of the eyes of an ordinary user.Time to summarize and finish.

Oppo Reno6 5G is an interesting and distinguished phone from hundreds of other devices that are available on the market.It is distinguished primarily by high quality of workmanship, a very interesting look, especially in this blue version with glitter backs.Stylistic references to the latest iPhones or Huawei phones are in my opinion a plus.

The phone is convenient for its size and unexpectedly fast (in the operation and loading of the battery).Numerous personalization options, a great screen with a high frequency of refreshment, good maneuverable vibrations modeled on the iPhone (so -called haptics) and flavors in the form of blurring the background in video recordings make it worth asking yourself whether there is still a sense of having a flagship.In addition, OPPO serves ultra -pissing charging and an impressive battery life.All this is supported by fast data transfer both after LTE and WiFi.

Of course, the Reno6 model is not perfect.Baking background in movies, which is a nice variety of video functions, is implemented based on algorithms and sometimes is wrong.The camera will satisfy the needs of most users, but I would personally prefer the manufacturer to use a dedicated telephoto lens than a low -use lens in low quality.In addition, Mono's speaker takes a little fun watching and listening to music.

Collecting all the positive and less positive features of the tested OPPO model, I am very happy that I could test it, because in general the amount of positive features prevails over the deficiencies.That is why I subjectively think that this is a really great smartphone that is worth buying.
