For anyone doesn't know, the telephoto is using Samsung's 50MP JN5 sensor (1/2.76”, 0.64µm pixels)

The Reno has been the premium series from the Oppo for the past few years until the entry of the Find X8 series. The Reno series has always focused on the cameras and design, offering users the opportunity to experience the pro-grade cameras at affordable prices. However, phones were once considered slightly underdogs in terms of performance. However, the company plans to change this perception with the Reno 13 series, which includes the Reno 13 and Reno 13 Pro. The 2025 marks the entry of Reno 13 Pro, which promises better design aesthetics, improved performance, pro-grade cameras, and a bunch of AI features that make it an interesting package at this price.

gkrm89, 18 Feb 2025I had noted ultrasteady mode can be enabled only upto 1080p... morePlease ignore the first paragraph, as I went thru only selfie camera's specs and mentioned about those. I went through again on the primary rear camera specs in Oppo's product page itself, which mentions as follows wrt EIS/OIS support :
EIS/OIS video: 4K@60fps/30fps, 1080P@60fps/30fps, 720P@30fps
This clearly states both support for all formats, let's even say under assumption that ideally ultrasteady option in camera UI is an equivalent to OIS, then upto 1080p 60 fps videos should be much stable. I browsed thru some youtube video reviews as well, they show it as pretty capable(but can't be compared to iphone, S24 ultra, S24+ or S25 series' videography since they belong to different league, in terms of price also)
Primary sensor's specification wise also Reno 13 pro is identical to Find X8, though sensor wise they are different models.
Sony IMX 890(in Reno 13 pro) --> 1/1.56” sensor Size f/1.8 aperture, 24mm focal length, multi-directional PDAF & OIS
Sony LYT 700(in Find X8) --> 1/1.56” sensor Size f/1.8 aperture, 24mm focal length, multi-directional PDAF & OIS
The reason I'm comparing to Find X8 is because it was well praised for videography even in low light. Agreed LYT700 is a new generation sensor compared to IMX890, even then given the spec details, in real time the difference should be minimal. IMX890 would atleast offer 80% to 85% of what Find X8 provides as output. Hasselblad is mainly for colour calibration along with certain additional filter options in camera UI. Even then Reno 13 pro has color spectrum sensor as well. Post processing is going to be the same as well for both models.
I am not marketing for Reno 13 pro here, but at the same time wondering what would fail here, given Reno series has been known a while for their cameras and D8350 is capable chipset too.
Do correct me if I'm wrong or if I'm missing some other details here. It will helpful for me as well while buying my next phone.

Anonymous, 17 Feb 2025Hello. Thank you for comments about the cameras in general.... moreI had noted ultrasteady mode can be enabled only upto 1080p 60fps, and not more than that. But gyro-EIS would've been enabled for all modes including 4K by default. Correct me if I'm wrong here.
If in case you're using it heavily for vlogging, then try using gimbal/tripod setup.
In case you're expecting flagship level video stabilisation, then obviously you need to turn towards - Find X8, OP12, vivo x200 or samsung's S series phones. (Left OP 13 as it's cameras are slightly inferior to OP12, not just GSMarena review, even several youtuber reviewers had highlighted it). And then there is iphone 16 series as well, if you're ok with their ecosystem.

Anonymous, 17 Feb 2025Hello. Thank you for comments about the cameras in general.... moreI have used minimally when it comes to videos so far, very few small duration videos I had taken indoors which were good enough. Haven't extensively tested outdoors in day/night conditions. I had commented mainly on photos part.

Reno 13 pro surely deserves a full fledged review from GSMArena. Don't know why it has been left out by Oppo not sending review units, even to several popular reviewers in youtube as well. Feels like a deliberate effort from Oppo to underplay this device to boost Find X8 series' sales. Only those who are following sites like GSMarena or those who are very keenly searching for camera centric device in upper midrange segment will be aware of this phone.
Agreed, performance benchmarks are comparatively lower than 7+ gen 3, 8s gen 3 & 8 gen 3 phones. Though D8350's score between 1.3 million to 1.4 million in antutu v10 indicates this phone is no slouch either. And price wise also this could've been 5% to 10% lower while launching in some markets(like India) where people look for a very competitive pricing.
Despite these minor setbacks, this device is a very capable all-round package, gives tough competition to Vivo v40 pro, Realme GT 6, Xiaomi 14 civi and even beats OP 13R in camera department.
Cons I feel in aforementioned devices compared to Reno 13 Pro:
Vivo v40 pro(Indian version) - No NFC , no eSIM , only 8 5G bands, telephoto only upto 2x zoom(but has OIS which is good though), dual side curved display.
Realme GT6 - No eSIM, telephoto with only 2x zoom without OIS rather only PDAF, IP 65 rated & misses 68/69 , dual side curved display.
Xiaomi 14 civi - No eSIM, telephoto with only 2x zoom without OIS rather only PDAF, only 8 5G bands & 7 in 4G bands(this does make notable difference in real time as I had used it for 6 months). Below par battery capacity(4700 mAH) & thereby poor endurance. Hardly 6 hrs SOT per full charge even with power saver on. Camera quality is poor when it comes to natural reproduction of colours in sunlight/shadows. No IP rating or whatsoever. HyperOS is a pain to use as it has several annoying bugs, and much inferior compared to OneUI/ColorOS experience, also lags in AI fetaures, delayed & lethargic update policy(atleast in India for sure)
OP 13R(Indian version) - Only 9 5G bands( even OP12R had upto 15 5G bands). Mediocre camera setup except for the primary 50mp. IP 65 rated & misses 68/69. Even though OP promises life time screen replacement for green line issue, it's slightly scary as even if replacement is free, definitely we need to spend some amount of time & effort to get it repaired in the nearest service centers.

phOneX, 12 Feb 2025Those who bought it , provide review on below
1) Battery l... moreWriting this after 1 month usage.
1) Battery life - Got upto 42 hrs(inclusive of 9h 55 mins SOT) with 9% remaining battery, had power saver mode & AOD always on. And upto 3 days standby(inclusive of 3.5 hrs SOT) with 40% remaining battery, which again had power saver on & AOD enabled always. Surely has great endurance as per my usage.
2) Charging speed - Approx ~50 to 55 mins for charging from around 15% to full charge. Smart rapid charging will hardly reduce few mins, so it doesn't make much difference while using it with default charging option. Just above average in this department. (I had noticed while reaching from 98% to 100% takes about 8-10 mins. So I presume 30 min charge easily will end up around 60% or even a bit more.)
3) Camera performance - All the three 50 mp cameras are highly capable in both day light & low light scenarios. Portraits upto 3.5x(85mm) are good and retains the details adequately. Didn't mention about 8mp ultrawide as I feel we should actually forget it, poor detailing while using it. Oppo clearly made a cost cutting here with that 8 mp and also to make people choose Find X8 series if they need a capable UW too. But if you are fine with selfie, primary and telephoto cameras, this device will be a great choice. Telephoto is very capable of competing even with flagship phones having 3x 70-73mm cameras out there.
4) OS performance - Smooth !! Once you disable additional recommendations while setting up for first time and disabling/uninstalling bloatwares, you'll surely experience a clean & neat UI. It's feature rich as well. (ColorOS is 2nd best option in my opinion when it comes to Android skins, 1st one being OneUI)
5) Can we disable or remove bloatwares? - Yes, you can very well do that. Just an one time setup.
6) Audio/Speakers - Speakers are good, bottom firing speakers are stereo and top one is mono(it's just the earpiece acting as speaker while media usage). But altogether the overall quality sounds as stereo and loudness is definitely good.
7) Build quality - Premium, feels very premium without back case and great ergonomics. Quad curved display is another added advantage at this price point. Given market is flooded with circular camera islands, be it flagships or budget ones, rectangular design with symmetrically placed cameras gives an unique feel. However, I'd advise to use a back cover for added protection.

phOneX, 12 Feb 2025Those who bought it , provide review on below
1) Battery l... moreBattery life - Very good in battery department like my SOT is 4-4.5 hours per day with AOD on for 14 hours and screen set to auto 60hz to 120hz and I'm using 1.5k resolution. Play casual games like clash of clans etc. so it's a 1.5 to 2days battery life total SOT it is giving more than 8 hours with wifi not mobile data.
Charging speed is good with 80w charging plugging at 30 and making to 100 will be done in 25-30 mins with rapid charging on.
Camera - It's one of the best in this price segment Reno series always known for photography and it does its job in that way and with Oppo's AI it provides a next level photography.
OS - There is a huge difference between Color OS 14 and Color OS 15......The last version changed everything...... It's to my opinion best android skin right now and super smooth like the fluid.....The animations are better than non pro models of iphone 16.
Bloatwares - I already uninstalled and disabled the bloatwares like hot games hot apps and others too.
U can disable.
Audio - It's a dual speaker phone audio's are great and has stereo effect too.
Build quality - It feels premium if u hold it it will not give u a mid range look at all.....it will look like flagship in each and every angle......I liked that frames are not plastic like previous Reno models it came with aluminium build frames......Build quality is feeling solid.
It's a perfect phone for each and every angle to me.

Anonymous, 18 Jan 2025Waste of money Writing from reno 13pro Poor battery It... moreI presume you're not testing it inside a microwave owen. The only chance of battery drain is when you run highly performance intensive benchmarking apps (like Antutu) for atleast 10 times a day or you have more than 15 to 20 apps running in background always. Then it will surely drain like you have said. There will be atleast 6 hrs SOT Iin balanced mode, and 8 to 9 hrs in power saver mode. One other chance of it draining like you have said, is that you're device might be a defective one, please replace it at the earliest if same problem persists.

Anonymous, 18 Jan 2025no silicon carbon Battey and no wireless charging In the Gl... moreSi/c or Li-ion, doesn't matter much as long as it's on the higher capacity margin. 5800 mAh is still a good number, given higher end Oppo/OP phones come with at least 48 month 80% battery retention rate(or 80% retention after 1600 cycles in other words). Theoretically, in real time, battery health wouldn't reduce for at least 3 years(approx 1100 cycles of proper full charge). I am already getting upto 2 days battery life if usage is around 5 to 6 hrs(around 2-3 hrs usage per day).
One e-SIM activation option is already present as well. Not sure why GSMarena hasn't updated it properly in SIM specs, as it should've been : NanoSIM + NanoSIM (or) NanoSIM + eSIM. Hope they update it eventually.
3 OS + 4 yrs security patches policy was introduced for Reno 12 series itself, which is pretty decent for upper midrange devices. You can't expect flagship level update policy after paying (upper) midrange price. Stop whining and have some rationality.
