Oppo Reno10 Pro+ has been officially launched in Malaysia with a selling price of RM3,499. It is the same price offered on the Oppo Reno8 Pro before, but it is felt that the offer is quite good this time. I compare it with the Reno8 series since Oppo has skipped one branding before introducing this new generation. The selling price is also the same, but as a user the question you know is necessarily about performance. Here we share the full review article for Oppo Reno10 Pro+ 5G.

Screen And Design
A 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate is used on the device's screen. The screen also has 10-bit color depth support that can display up to 1.07 billion colors. Besides also supporting Pro XDR technology which according to Oppo allows the screen to look brighter with accurate and beautiful colors. As expected, the AMOLED screen is indeed capable of presenting a beautiful display with satisfactory and even color reproduction.
Among the things I also like is Oppo's wisdom in creating a premium feel through the use of curved screens on both sides. I understand that not many people like this design but it looks premium enough to make it look special. Compliments also need to be given because the curve of the screen is not so extreme that it results in content overflowing out. It becomes even more attractive when the body of the device feels thin and light in the hand. In fact, the combination of glass back panel and metal sides used also makes it look premium.
Meanwhile, Oppo's wisdom in making a good color selection also has a great impact on the cosmetic value of this device itself. It comes in two color options, Silvery Gray which is suitable for those of you who tend to choose colors that look simple and relaxed. Meanwhile, the Reno10 Pro+ in Glossy Purple color looks more cheerful and beautiful, but you have to compromise with the easy issue of trapping fingerprint dirt and being exposed to various issues, again hitting directly.
An optical type fingerprint scanner is placed under the screen. Its ranking is quite low but still easy to access with very fast performance. A facial scan system is also available as an option for those who want faster unlocking performance. But the thing that managed to attract attention is when the device also provides infrared transmitter support for remote control of electronic equipment.
The power button and audio adjustment can be found on the right side. Just like the frame, these two buttons are also made of aluminum and do not feel loose. Moving to the bottom is the USB-C charging port which is also flanked by the audio grille and SIM tray. When opened the device is seen to support dual-SIM without micro SD card support and the speaker is a stereo type. The audio is not very balanced because the speakers below are louder.
Then whether it is noticed or not, there is no 3.5mm audio jack hole to be found on the device which means that it will affect the users who are still hoping for wired type earphones/headphones. Not only that, there is no official waterproof rating, but Oppo says the device is still splash resistant.
Benchmarks And Usage Experience
The device runs Android 13 with the latest ColorOS 13 launcher. In general, the ColorOS launcher can be said to have a good reputation in terms of smoothness and ease of use. Most of the built-in features are also well optimized. Next you can also set certain settings according to current needs.
Interestingly, battery monitoring and in-depth charging features are also included in-built. This is to allow you to check the battery health just like the experience of an iPhone device. It's just that the problem of automatically installed fat apps still occurs on the device. But it can still be removed if not needed.
Next, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processing chip is used as the mainstay, which can be considered interesting considering that the Reno device line is often marketed as a mid-range device. While the chip in question is mostly used in flagship class devices. But that's not really a big issue because most manufacturers must have their own reasons, even trying to give the best to users.

In addition, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip is actually still quite powerful at the moment, so good performance can only be expected whether it is used casually or for the first session. The device is also seen to be able to handle most daily tasks with smooth scrolling without significant interruptions. The combination of 12GB RAM memory that can also be expanded virtually up to 12GB and 256GB internal storage has also improved the experience of using the device.
The experience of testing the majority of the first with high graphics settings also shows satisfactory performance, especially PUBG Mobile which provides the highest settings reaching Ultra HD graphics with Extreme frame rates. Although it starts to show some lag in intense gaming sessions, but a satisfying experience can still be enjoyed on this device.
Camera And Picture Quality
The device uses a tri-camera system with a setup of 50MP Sony IMX 890 (main) + 64MP OV64B (periscope telephoto) + 8MP Sony IMX355 (ultra-wide). Also included is a built-in OIS system and a MariSilicon X chip for the purpose of further improving the photography capabilities and artificial intelligence of the device. It should also be said that the news about the end of production of the chip is also true when devices under this series are the last to use it.
The reappearance of the telephoto camera mechanism is also interesting with the optical zoom capability of up to 3X, which basically has the main purpose of using portrait mode shots. It also offers a Retouch feature that allows users to select up to 25 adjustable effect controls with apertures between f/1.4 and f/16. This experience can also be improved with support for digital zoom up to 120X without built-in stabilization for the purpose of bringing the user closer to the object.
It seems excessive but the best zoom results are only up to 30X and should be used in bright lighting to ensure the image looks clear and lively. Actually without realizing it, this is actually a feature that is also offered by the camera of the flagship device Oppo Find X6 Pro. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say, this device is suitable as a replacement for him since Oppo has absolutely no plans to bring in the Find X6 Pro to the Global market for some reason.
Next, the camera of this device can capture images with a ratio of 4:3, 16:9, 1:1 and full. The choice of built-in camera modes is Night, Video, Photo, Pro, Extra HD, Pano, Slo-Mo, Time Lapse, Dual View video, Sticker and Text Scanner. It is also extremely easy to use as no focusing problems were found on this year's devices. Meanwhile, Oppo's intelligence system also works well when able to choose the most suitable settings according to the current situation.
Video performance is good with maximum 4K HDR recording capabilities with zoom options between 1X, 3X, 6X and 18x. There is also a built-in stabilization system provided but limited to recordings made at 720P/1080P settings only. Likewise with the recording of the front camera that uses a 32MP sensor, also has a built-in stabilization system with a maximum setting of 1080P. Retouch features and a number of interesting filters are also provided on both these cameras in addition to the device itself.
In terms of quality, the results of the photos taken are very good. Overall the camera has a huge improvement in image quality making the photography experience more interesting. You can clearly see all the photos taken in various lighting, whether bright or dark, giving quite satisfactory results without a long post-processing time until the device heats up.
Color reproduction looks great and really lifelike, and the device even does a pretty good job of balancing extreme contrast in bright light sources like the sun for example. It becomes even more remarkable with the Pro XDR mode display that makes colors stand out more, and is sure to be attractive enough for social media use.
Advantages can also be seen when taking pictures using High-Res mode which is also satisfactory overall. But what many may not have noticed is that the camera will use a 50MP sensor for taking photos with 1X zoom support. Then the 64MP sensor will be used when photos are taken with 2X zoom. However, both are capable of producing good photos, even sharper and more detailed than shots taken through automatic mode.
Portrait mode shots also deliver good results, where natural-looking human skin textures look real-world when used without the built-in beauty mode. If there is a shortcoming that can be said about it, it is the imperfect edge detection, where it can be clearly seen that the device fails to distinguish the subject and the background well, including in bright lighting.
For example, like the two pictures below that show the failure of the device's camera to focus well around the subject, especially the part of the baju kurung and the wallet held in the hand.
The ultra-wide shooting capability can also be praised with results almost similar to the main camera. The distortion problem that is already standard for most wide-angle photos still exists. We also praise the neat and easy-to-use camera application interface. The multi-function iconography is easy to understand, especially for the zoom mode quick shortcuts to go directly to 0.6X, 1X, 3X and 120X which feel quite user-friendly.
The experience gets even better when the performance is good with sharp looking images up to 30X. Weaknesses start to become apparent at zooms above 30X with the problem of the image becoming too soft, then detail starting to disappear completely at the maximum zoom of 120X. The stabilization system can also be used at 120X zoom, but it seems inconsistent and the process of taking pictures also becomes difficult without the help of a tripod.
Selfie picture quality is also good with the ability to produce pictures with natural skin texture without the beauty feature activated. Portrait photos using the front camera also provide a bokeh effect which can also be said to be good, but still not perfect in delivering truly pleasing portrait results. Finally, the quality of the video is just as beautiful as the recording of photos as long as it does not involve fast movement.
Battery And Charging System
With a 4,700mAh battery there is no issue the device can last all day on medium heavy use. Improvements are also given to the wired charging system which is now faster reaching 100W. Next also provides a charging head in the purchase box which makes it an additional value on this device itself.
This is because many manufacturers have removed the charging head, then charge the user to get it separately. It is also one of the fastest charging systems on the market. Even faster than what Apple and Samsung offer on their flagship devices.
What's in the Box?
Here's what you get with every device purchase in Malaysia.
1x Oppo Reno10 Pro+ 5G.
1x USB-A to USB-C charging cable.
1x 100W charging head.
1x User Manual.
1x Silicone Frame.
1x SIM Pin.
Conclusion
Oppo Reno10 Pro+ not only presents a good camera system, but also provides the right space for creative users, especially for portrait photography. The absence of the Find X series offered in Malaysia this year is also felt not to have such a big impact considering that users can also make this device as another option. But of course you can't expect all of them to be at the same level since both devices are placed in two different segments.
Next the performance is also good and as can be expected from the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip. The combination of large memory and storage also improves the smooth usage experience. The battery capacity may not be large but the included 100W fast charging system gives the device an interesting added value. This means you don't have to wait a long time for the recharging process, and the charging head provided also saves money.
Wins in some areas, but that doesn't mean the device doesn't have its weaknesses. The device lacks a 3.5mm audio jack and a waterproof rating. With a selling price of RM3499. it can be said to be a good upgrade over the previous Reno8 Pro. But it still has to compete with some other devices such as Nothing Phone (2), Poco F5 Pro and Oneplus Nord 3 5G with a more affordable price but the specifications can hold.
