OPPO Reno11 Series Review Thin and Lightweight, Hard to Put Down Once Used

OPPO Reno11 Series Review Sleek, Light, and Addictive to Use

[Mobile China Review] In this highly developed internet era, we browse countless photos and videos every day. There is always one photo that catches our attention, and there is always one video that brings tears to our eyes. When these once-cherished images are shared, they spread like ripples. The empathy caused by images is real, and it is the “romance” that technology has given us in this fast food era.

Ten years ago, when we opened the photo album on our phones, the photos inside might just be rough records. The blurry images seemed to scatter on the ground like the mottled fragments of life. Five years ago, when we opened the photo album on our phones, the photos inside were colorful. AI gave images more meaning and toppled the color palette of the gods. Now, when we open the photo album on our phones, DSLR-level shots are at our fingertips, blurring the boundaries between phones and cameras. That’s right, the evolution of smartphones is also the evolution of mobile photography. It’s like a memory that goes from distant to close, from fuzzy to clear. Every time we press the shutter, it seems that what we are capturing is not the person or object in front of our eyes, but the hope of capturing beauty in time.

Since the release of OPPO Ulike, OPPO has specialized in portrait photography for 11 years, leaving a deep and beautiful mark on millions of consumers. With the launch of the Reno11 series, OPPO has opened a new era of portrait effects with its leading super imaging system. Shooting DSLR-level portraits with a phone is no longer a luxury. If you want to take photos, you can do so freely with the Reno11 series. Once you’ve used it, it’s hard to put down.

What is DSLR-level portrait photography? As the name suggests, it refers to portrait photos taken with a DSLR camera. Using a DSLR camera for photography has several advantages, such as high image quality, interchangeable lenses, and manual adjustment of parameters, resulting in excellent image quality and bokeh effects. For portrait photography with a phone, it often requires calculations to achieve certain effects, which has been jokingly referred to by many as having too much “computational flavor”. This time, the entire OPPO Reno11 series is equipped with a 32-megapixel DSLR-level portrait lens, with an equivalent focal length of 47mm for golden portrait shots, combined with an RGBW pixel arrangement and an F/2.0 large aperture, ensuring a more natural focal length and ample amount of light for portrait shooting.

In the traditional shooting process, users often choose the focal length based on the distance by zooming in or out with their fingers. If shooting portraits and choosing the extreme focal length of the lens, it is easy to result in unclear image quality. The Reno11 series has default focal lengths of 0.6x, 1x, 2x, and 5x, and you can directly select the most suitable and best shooting focal length. Under portrait mode, there are two focal lengths available, 1x and 2x. It is worth mentioning that the Reno11 is the only product in the 2000 yuan price range equipped with a super-imaging full focal length three-camera system.

Compared to the 1x focal length, which is suitable for shooting full-body portraits, the default 2x and 5x focal lengths are easier to focus on the subject. Use 2x for taking half-body photos and 5x for close-up shots. Even if you’re not good at composition, you just need to focus the subject in the center of the frame, then simply press the shutter, and you’ll get an excellent photo with great texture.

In addition to the flexible choice of focal lengths, portrait photos should also have natural depth-of-field effects and authentic bokeh. Many smartphones have portrait blur algorithms, but these algorithms tend to give a feeling of cutouts when the subject is separated from the background and the background is uniformly blurred. This lacks a sense of likability and agility. This time, the Reno11 series is equipped with a professional-level portrait mode for the first time, which can simulate the optical blur characteristics of professional lenses. The intensity of background blur varies with distance, and even the facial features of the subject will have a certain blur transition due to the distance from the camera, giving a more three-dimensional appearance. This kind of blur effect directly touches the heart and satisfies both the photographer and the subject.

The portrait lens flare is not uncommon in some smartphones that focus on portrait photography. This time, the Reno11 series, with its DSLR-level portrait mode, can simulate the lens flare effect of a DSLR camera. The flares can show the correct spatial relationship and natural strength between each other. We can also adjust the electronic aperture and customize the flare effect and blurring degree in post-processing, making the portrait samples more atmospheric.

Moreover, when shooting portraits, OPPO pays more attention to restoring the correct relationship between light and shadow, making the photos more three-dimensional. Just like this portrait photo, in an environment with obvious contrast between light and shadow, it can accurately restore the changes in light and shadow on the subject’s face, which is much more natural than simply brightening and retouching.

OPPO has come a long way in the field of portrait photography. On the basis of continuous hardware innovation, the software algorithms have also been continuously improved. Now, OPPO has various algorithm technologies such as facial feature-level bokeh engine, ultra-clear image quality engine, and super-light and shadow image engine, which can help users have a better experience when shooting portraits.

A good portrait not only needs to be captured through the lens but also needs to be displayed realistically on the screen, which also tests the phone’s capabilities. The Reno11 Pro is equipped with the same dynamic light and shadow screen as the Find X6 series, combined with photon matrix display technology, which can bring a display effect that is closer to the human eye. Especially in HDR display, the Reno11 Pro can achieve up to 8 times the brightness, which can better enhance local dynamics.

Among numerous smartphones, if you want to choose a beautiful one, the OPPO Reno series products will undoubtedly be among them. After years of polishing, the Reno series has formed its own aesthetic symbol and has been loved by many consumers. This time, the Reno11 series once again innovates in design and leads the trend of smartphone design.

As an example, let’s take a look at the Reno11 Moonlight Jewel color that we received. It uses a unique light rhyme jewel craftsmanship, with the entire back panel filled with three-dimensional texture, as if moonlight is falling on a slab of stone, elegant and serene. When we touch it with our hand, it gives a sand-like feeling, which is quite magical. It is because of this design that Moonlight Jewel is not easily affected by fingerprints. Even if you don’t use a case, you don’t have to worry about the back panel becoming a fingerprint collector. Feel free to use it boldly.

The Reno11 Pro’s turquoise green color creates a very sophisticated green texture, layered upon layers at a glance, and also gives off a sand-like sound when touched. Compared to the delicacy of Moonlight Jewel, it appears more rugged. Two colors, two visual experiences, and two tactile experiences as well. When we focus on the camera module, we will find that the Moonlight Jewel of Reno11 has undergone a very exquisite design, with the entire outer ring decorated with Parisian tacks, highlighting the details of the design and also interpreting trendy aesthetics. The Reno11 Pro, on the other hand, has its own glacial pattern gem disc, using the same process as Find N3, created through a hundred levels of dust-free standards and advanced automated assembly processes, and showing a highly appreciable texture internally, making it truly unique and beautiful.

The Reno11 series needs to be complemented by extreme thinness to achieve its coolness. The Reno11 is only 7.59mm thin and weighs 184g, while the Pro version is 8.19mm thin and weighs 190g, greatly reducing the pressure on the hands during daily use. On the contrary, the thin and light feel provides excellent conditions for portrait creation. Of course, the thinness of the Reno11 series does not sacrifice battery capacity. The standard version is equipped with a 4800mAh battery + long-lasting 67W super flash charging, while the Pro version is equipped with a 4700mAh battery + long-lasting 80W super flash charging. In terms of daily use, it can be said that it is both thin and has long battery life.

For a product in the 2000 yuan range, the thinness and DSLR-level portrait shooting capabilities of the Reno11 series can leave a deep impression on most people. But that’s not enough. In terms of performance, the Reno11 series is equally impressive. The Reno11 is equipped with the Dimensity 8200 processor, while the Reno11 Pro is equipped with the full-blood version of the Snapdragon 8+. The overall performance experience is excellent.

To bring stable and smooth user experience, the Reno11 series also debuts with ColorOS 14, the newly upgraded super computing platform, which not only reconstructs the underlying memory mechanism of the Android system, creating lightning-fast startup speed but also incorporates new memory lossless compression technology, significantly reducing the storage space occupied by applications. Data shows that the Reno11 series can save up to 45GB of storage space, and it can keep 18 applications alive in the background for up to 72 hours, bringing significant improvements to users’ daily experience.

Under the support of ColorOS 14, the Reno11 series also brings revolutionary Fluid Cloud proactive services and transit station functions. The former allows the phone to directly jump to the corresponding app by long-pressing and copying when receiving links to product links, short video links, and other links, eliminating the need for separate selection and reducing operational complexity. The transit station is a temporary storage space that integrates preview and sharing functions. Users can temporarily store images, text, etc., in the transit station and then drag and drop them into other applications for efficient cross-application content circulation.

With trendy design and DSLR-level portrait shooting experience, the OPPO Reno11 series is a must-have for consumers with both attractiveness and strength among many portrait products in the market. Moreover, with the support of ColorOS 14, the Reno11 series has made great strides in interaction, fluidity, and has become a pioneer in breaking down application and terminal barriers in the Android world.
