Case, equipment and operation - Large memory

The Oppo Reno3 Pro mid-range smartphone is available worldwide in numerous variants: We have already tested the 5G model with less memory, there are models with a 64GB camera, with two cameras on the front and other color variants. Our model comes with a 48 megapixel quad-cam and a single camera on the front and is currently available in Central Europe in black and blue with a color gradient. Oppo also offers a version as Find X2 Neo in Central Europe, and we'll have a look at whether there are any differences in a separate review.

The Oppo Reno3 Pro is clearly different from the Oppo Reno3, and the two can already be clearly distinguished externally. For example, the Pro model has a high-resolution punchhole camera in the display and has narrow edges around the screen. The back of our blue test device is matt, which looks very chic, the device feels slim and high-quality in the hand. Oppo could have rounded off just a few edges a bit better. The smartphone is relatively light at 171 grams.

With 12 GB RAM and 256 GB mass storage, the Reno3 Pro is a memory giant in the upper middle class. However, there is no possibility to use a microSD for memory expansion. Dual-SIM is available, but you can't use an eSIM.

The Oppo phone can make good use of WiFi 5 and is very fast when surfing via WLAN. Numerous 4G networks are supported, so you can use the smartphone in many countries.

The installed ColorOS 7 is based on Android 10, the security patches are up to date at the time of testing.

Cameras - Reno3 Pro with Pixel Binning

Recording front camera
Recording front camera

We already know the 48 megapixel camera with three more lenses on the back from the Oppo Reno3 Pro 5G. Here, there is also a wide angle and a telephoto lens, one can zoom in small steps between the lenses, whereby depending on the available light, the telephoto lens or the faster and higher resolution main lens is used in order to zoom closer to objects.

The images of the main camera are, as already in the 5G model, quite strongly exposed. This is probably also due to the fact that pixel binning is used, thus usually not 48 megapixel images are recorded, but four pixels are taken together and a 12 megapixel image is recorded with a high light efficiency. The level of detail and sharpness of the images are on a high level. Even in low light this has advantages and high contrasts can be easily compensated.

The user can record videos in 4K with 30 fps at the maximum, but then only digital zoom is possible. If you lower your demands a bit and record in 1080p, all three lenses are available for filming and even optical zoom is possible. 

The front camera offers 32 megapixels, but the sharpness of detail suffers partly from the strong graininess of the images.

Display - 90 Hz display in Oppo mobile phone

Sub-pixel array
Sub-pixel array

A 90 Hz display comes with the Oppo Reno3 Pro. That's a great thing for its price range, which makes movements on the smartphone seem smoother and the operation is also noticeably faster. The resolution is at class level, the maximum brightness good, but not as excellent as the Reno3 Pro 5G.

PWM flickering is a problem with all AMOLED displays, and the Oppo Reno3 Pro is no exception. On the other hand, the response times are fast, so that gamers also get their money's worth.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 3 ms rise
↘ 3 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 13 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 3 ms rise
↘ 5 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 15 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 328.9 Hz

The display backlight flickers at 328.9 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) .

The frequency of 328.9 Hz is relatively high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. However, there are reports that some users are still sensitive to PWM at 500 Hz and above, so be aware.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance, emissions and battery life - Good stamina

With the Snapdragon 765G the Reno3 Pro has the same SoC as the 5G variant, but the 5G modem was apparently deactivated here. The additional RAM makes itself positively noticeable in elaborate benchmarks, so that a few additional points are included here. The differences should turn out minimal in everyday life, though. The UFS 2.1 memory is also very fast in the Reno3, the system can be operated smoothly overall and feels a bit faster thanks to the 90 Hz screen.

Interestingly enough, the 4G variant gets significantly warmer under heavy load than the variant with a 5G modem, and perhaps there are other internal differences here. The temperatures are noticeable, but not critical. The loudspeaker does its job well, it is supported by the earphones, which results in a stereo effect. The sound is still a bit too high pitched under full load. External audio devices can either be connected via USB-C port and, if necessary, an adapter to a 3.5mm jack or via Bluetooth. Both work without problems.

The runtime of the 4.025 mAh battery is about 15 hours in our WLAN test, which is about the same as the 5G variant's runtimes and is a decent value overall. There are also smartphones with significantly larger batteries and thus longer runtimes at this price level, but these are then also significantly heavier. The Reno3 Pro is fully charged again in a maximum of 1:30 hours thanks to the 30 watt quick charge.

Verdict - Well equipped

In review: Oppo Reno3 Pro.
In review: Oppo Reno3 Pro.

The Oppo Reno3 Pro is also a good offer in the 4G variant, especially as it offers more memory than the 5G variant, but is in similar price ranges. With a 90 Hz display, a chic case, a slim waist and yet reasonable battery life and good cameras, you can definitely recommend this mid-range device.

Those who value high-end features like extreme performance, WiFi 6, 4K videos with 60 Hz or an eSIM will have to look around in higher price ranges, but those who are also satisfied with mid-range features can save a few hundred euros and still get a powerful device.

The Oppo Reno3 Pro is a powerful, well equipped mid-range device.

Really negative aspects can hardly be pinpointed, at best the occasionally somewhat sloppy or (still) untranslated interface of ColorOS is a small damper, but it's very rarely noticeable.
