Conclusion
The Oppo Reno’s 10X optical zoom looks to be the standout feature on paper. The triple-camera setup helps as well since the rest of the devices have just a dual-camera setup. Internally all phones look to be processing powerhouses, with very little separating them. The Reno 10X Zoom’s price tag will be a defining factor for the phone and we will delve into more finer details of the device in our detailed review.
