The Reno 11 Pro 5G comes in Black, Green, and Silver.
Product Description
Design and Build
Reno 11 Pro 5G, like the Reno 11 5G model, is a premium handset with incredible features and sophisticated design. The front features a large display with a center-punched display, which helps maximize the area for viewing. Under the impressive display is the fingerprint scanner that helps enhance our phone’s security. The back is dominated by the uniquely designed camera island that protects an equally impressive set of cameras that record 4K videos. Moreover, the back pane of the Oppo phone comes with unique designs, enhancing the overall look and appeal of the handset.
Oppo Reno 11 Pro measures 163 x 74.2 x 8.2 mm (6.42 x 2.92 x 0.32 in) and weighs 190g. Notably, the device is featherlight and slim, perfectly fitting in your palm and coat pocket as you travel or mind your business. The dual SIM handset is a true beauty to own and use, available in three choice colors: Starry Black, Green, and Silver.
Regrettably, this otherwise excellent handset is not dust and waterproof and has no Gorilla Glass protection. Nevertheless, its unique design, robust build, and features make it an outstanding premium handset to select as your perfect communications device.
 Display
Oppo Reno 11 Pro 5G features a 6.74-inch OLED, 1B colors, 120Hz, HDR10+, 1200 nits (HBM), and 1600 nits (peak) display. The display offers cinematic viewing with a high refresh rate, astonishing screen brightness, and 1240 x 2772 pixels, 20:9 ratio (~451 ppi density) resolution, which is harper than Reno 11 5G. You will have a great time watching videos and documentaries and browsing through your content.
 Performance
OS
The handset runs on the latest Android 14 and ColorOS 14, affording you easy use and a friendly interface when navigating through applications and needing seamless access to the apps you use most.
Processor
The Qualcomm SM8475 Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (4 nm) is well equipped to handle the demands of 5G handsets, such as this particular model by Oppo. It is more powerful and rivals the Mediatek Dimensity 8200 (4 nm) chipset on Reno 11 5G. It gives premium 5G smartphones best-in-class power efficiency. The new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (SM8475) will provide modest speed improvements and notable power savings. Insightfully, the original 8 Gen 1 was never slow but had heat and power usage issues. Qualcomm asserts that the new chipset will deliver higher CPU performance and a 30% improvement in power efficiency for the CPU.
The ultra-efficient 4nm chipset comes integrated with Octa-core (1×3.2 GHz Cortex-X2 & 3×2.5 GHz Cortex-A710 & 4×1.80 GHz Cortex-A510) CPU and Adreno 730 GPU. So, you are well equipped with the processor for multitasking, high-end gaming, and intensive use without overheating and lagging complications.
 Storage
Enjoy massive storage on the handset, presenting you with:
- 256GB 12GB RAM
- 512GB 12GB RAM (depending on the model).
Additional memory (MicroSD), though helpful most times, is optional with the available ROM and RAM, which is sufficient for unlimited apps and uploaded/downloaded content. UFS 3.1 technology helps maximize open storage space, reducing memory redundancy.
Camera
 Battery
Oppo Reno 11 Pro is powered by a 4,700mAh battery, which provides 1-2 days of usage before recharging, depending on your usage. To recharge, use the 80W wired PD QC3, which recharges 1-100% of the battery in 27 minutes. Arguably, this is super-fast and great when gaming or needing a quick power top-up to keep going with your indulgences. Moreover, the battery system supports reverse charging, enabling you to charge your smart devices seamlessly on the go without the need to plug them into the wall.
