  Oppo Reno 10X Zoom Edition — software experience 

  - Colour OS 6 based on Android Pie
  - Redesigned animation effects
  - For gaming and an overall boost in performance, there's a new Hyper Boost software feature built-in, accessible with the click of a button
  - Oppo's Hyper boost tech can increase touch performance while playing games like PUBG Mobile by 16 percent and reduces lag by 44 percent. These are just numbers though, we'll be putting all these claims to the test when we have the unit.
