Oppo recently launched the Oppo Reno 10X Zoom in India at an event for a starting price of Rs 39,999. The device has a signature shark-fin pop-up camera giving it an extremely bezel-less front. The device has been made available in European and China markets as well back in April.

The device, as the name suggests, offers 10X optical loss-less zoom capabilities, which was a feature that Oppo had revealed at MWC 2019. This puts it ahead of the Huawei P30 Pro (Review) and OnePlus 7 Pro (Review), which offer 5X and 3X optical zoom respectively. Apart from that, the device gets all the flagship specs you can imagine in this day and age, including a Snapdragon 855 SoC, up to 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage.
In its price range, the device is expected to compete with a lot of newcomers which include the OnePlus 7, Black Shark 2 and the Asus ZenFone 6. Let's see how the Oppo Reno 10X Zoom compares with these devices in this spec battle. Mind you, this is just a comparison based on the devices' specifications on the sheet and a full review will reveal how good the device actually is.
