Although the Oppo Reno 10 smartphone series—which includes the Oppo Reno 10 5G, Oppo Reno 10 Pro, and Oppo Reno 10 Pro Plus—has formally debuted in a number of global locations, only the first model is accessible in the United Kingdom.
The Oppo Reno 10 5G, positioned as a mid-range photography powerhouse, is the replacement for the Oppo Reno 9, which in turn replaced the Oppo Reno 8. Throughout this guide, we will mostly compare the Oppo Reno 10 5G to the latter phone because it was the last Reno handset to be released in Western regions.
The Oppo Reno 10 5G’s camera, display, design, performance, and battery specifications are shown below,

Design & display
The Oppo Reno 10 5G is slightly bigger and heavier than the Oppo Reno 8 in terms of appearance and display, measuring 162.4 x 74.2 x 8 mm and weighing 185g.
The Oppo Reno 10 5G, on the other hand, has a larger 6.7-inch AMOLED screen than its predecessor thanks to its larger frame. The phone also has an amazing 93% screen-to-body ratio.
The phone’s display supports HDR10+ and has a maximum brightness of 950 nits, and its refresh rate is 120 Hz. Additionally, the screen itself has a small curvature; according to Oppo, the Reno 10 5G has a “3D dual curved design.”
In addition to having an under-display fingerprint scanner, the phone is covered in a fingerprint-resistant coating and comes in Silvery Grey (yep, that is the official name) in the UK.
Cameras
The Reno 10 5G is being marketed by Oppo as “The Portrait Expert,” which suggests what the firm believes to be the phone’s greatest selling point.
A 64MP wide-angle lens (f/1/7), a 32MP telephoto lens (f/2.0), and an 8MP ultra-wide lens (f/2.2) make up the three-lens back camera system of the Reno 10 5G. With a 47mm focal length and the first of its type in the Oppo Reno portfolio, the second lens in that array is what gives the phone its moniker as a “Portrait Expert.”
Additionally, the Reno 10 5G has a Pro-Portrait mode that reportedly maintains the subjects’ skin tone and gives you access to “Pro aesthetics.” Regarding taking selfies, the Reno 10 5G has a 32MP camera.
We are eager to test this configuration because Oppo has informed us that the Reno 10 5G has “by far the strongest set of cameras for where this phone sits in the market.”
Performance & battery
A processor that we aren’t really acquainted with, the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset, powers the Oppo Reno 10 5G. Nevertheless, the Oppo Reno 8’s Dimensity 1300 chipset is objectively inferior to the Dimensity 7050’s, and as the latter already offers good performance for its mid-range price, we anticipate that the latter will provide an even more fluid scrolling and gaming experience.
The Oppo Reno 10 5G’s powerful 5,000 mAh battery should last you through an entire day of moderate to intensive use.
Oppo’s 67W fast charger, which isn’t a given these days (looking at you, Apple and Samsung), is included with the phone. According to the company, you can use this charger to fully recharge the Reno 10 5G in just 47 minutes.
Unfortunately, there isn’t wireless charging, but that’s to be anticipated for a phone in this price bracket.
Updates for the OPPO Reno 10 5G will be available for two years for Android and four years for security, according to Oppo.
