OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G Review: Cameras, Performance and Battery Life

The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G arrived as the most camera-focused phone in the Reno10 family, and it still stands out for one clear reason: a real periscope telephoto camera in a slim, stylish body. This OPPO Reno10 Pro+ review looks at what that camera can do in everyday shooting, how the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip handles games and multitasking, and whether the 4700 mAh battery with 100W charging keeps up with a busy day. The phone was announced on 24 May 2023 and released on the same day, so it is a released device with a full specification sheet, not a rumour or a concept. It was released on 24 May 2023, and it came to market as a premium mid-range flagship alternative rather than a basic mid-range handset.

Readers searching for OPPO Reno10 Pro+ specs will find the headline numbers easy to remember: a 6.74-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, 256GB or 512GB of storage, a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilisation, a 64MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 32MP front camera. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ price and value for money discussion often starts with that camera system, because periscope zoom is rare at this level. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G is also light enough for long sessions at 194 grams, and it uses an in-display fingerprint sensor for quick unlocking. This article explains each area in plain terms, based on the verified specifications and on the kind of everyday use that owners describe for this model: commuting, photography, social media, video, gaming, and long days away from a charger.

Before going deeper, it helps to set expectations. This is a specification-based review. It does not claim a laboratory test of a single unit, and it does not pretend that one phone can suit every buyer. Instead, it weighs the strengths that are clear from the hardware and software against the trade-offs that are also clear, such as the absence of a microSD card slot and the absence of wireless charging. If you want a phone that puts portrait zoom first, the Reno10 Pro+ 5G deserves a close look. If you want the longest battery life or the most rugged build, other phones may fit better.

Design and Build Quality

The Reno10 Pro+ 5G follows the Reno design language: a curved display, a slim profile, and a camera module that sits neatly in the upper left corner of the back panel. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G feels polished in the hand, with smooth edges that make the large screen easier to hold than its size suggests. At 194 grams, the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ weight is light for a phone with a 6.74-inch screen and a 4700 mAh battery. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 194 gram weight and hand feel are worth noting because many phones with a periscope camera are heavier, and this one avoids that penalty. The weight is balanced, the frame is comfortable, and the phone slips into a pocket without feeling like a brick.

OPPO Reno10 Pro+ colors vary by market, but the usual finishes are glossy and eye-catching, with a shimmer that changes under light. OPPO Reno10 Pro+ unboxing impressions often highlight that glossy finish and the slim feel in the hand. The back panel resists casual fingerprints better than a plain glass slab, although a case still helps if you want to keep it spotless. The camera island is raised, so the phone rocks slightly on a flat table, but that is normal for a phone with a large periscope lens. The buttons are firm, the USB-C port sits at the bottom, and the SIM tray takes two nano-SIM cards. There is no headphone jack, which is common for phones in this class, and there is no microSD slot, so buyers should choose the storage size with care at purchase time.

Compared with the regular Reno10 Pro, this Plus model is the clear step up in camera hardware and charging speed. The OPPO Reno10 Pro 5G (Global) Review: Build Quality, Software and Daily Speed covers a close relative with a different camera and charging setup, and reading it helps to see where the Pro+ model earns its higher position. The Plus model keeps the same family look, yet its periscope lens and 100W charging give it a distinct identity. The build is not rated for the highest level of water resistance, so it should be treated as a phone to keep away from pools and heavy rain, even though it can handle light splashes in normal use.

In-Hand Feel and Materials

The curved front and back panels meet a slim frame, and that shape makes the phone feel narrower than the screen size implies. The in-display fingerprint sensor sits low enough to reach with a thumb, and the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ in display fingerprint sensor speed is quick in normal use, with a short press enough to open the home screen. Face unlock is also available for fast access in good light. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ fingerprint reader sits under the display and works reliably with a registered thumb. The phone feels solid, with no creaks or flex, and the glass back gives it a premium touch that matches its price position. A clear case in the box in some markets helps on day one, and a screen protector is a sensible addition for the curved display.

Curved Screen and Slim Frame

The curved edges look elegant and help with edge gestures, although some users prefer a flat screen for gaming and for screen protectors. The slim frame keeps the phone comfortable for one-handed use for short tasks, while two hands are better for long typing sessions and for camera work. The volume and power buttons sit on the right edge, within easy reach, and the overall layout is clean and familiar for anyone who has used a Reno phone before.

Display and Audio

The display is one of the strongest parts of this phone. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ display is a 6.74-inch AMOLED panel with a 1240 x 2772 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and support for HDR content. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 6.74 inch AMOLED display review angle matters here because the screen is sharp, bright, and smooth in daily use. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 1240×2772 resolution screen sharpness details show up in text, photos, and video: small text stays crisp, photo edges look clean, and video looks rich without oversaturated colours in the default mode. The 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling through feeds and web pages feel fluid, and the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 120Hz refresh rate scrolling smoothness is easy to notice after switching back to a 60Hz phone.

Reno10 Pro+ display quality in outdoor use is good, with enough brightness for reading messages and taking photos in sunlight. The panel supports a high touch sampling rate for responsive gaming, and the curved edges add a sense of depth to full-screen video. Colour modes in settings let owners choose between vivid and natural looks, and the always-on display can show the time, date, and notifications without waking the full screen. For media, the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ speakers are stereo speakers, and the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ stereo speakers sound quality for media is clear and loud enough for video and casual music in a quiet room. Bass is limited, as expected from a slim phone, but dialogue in films stays easy to follow, and the stereo separation adds width to games and video.

The display also helps the camera experience. A bright, colour-accurate screen makes it easier to judge a portrait before pressing the shutter, and the large size makes photo editing comfortable without a tablet. Readers who want a comparison with a newer Reno model can look at the OPPO Reno11 5G (Global) Review: Display, Audio and Overall Experience, which covers a later phone in the same family and shows how OPPO has refined display and audio tuning over time. The Reno10 Pro+ 5G still holds up well in this area, because its panel was already a flagship-level part when it launched.

Screen Quality in Daily Use

In daily use, the screen adapts well to different content. Social feeds scroll smoothly, maps stay readable, and long articles are easy on the eyes thanks to the high resolution and the AMOLED contrast. The dark mode is deep and clean, which also helps battery life on an AMOLED panel. Eye comfort settings reduce blue light at night, and the auto brightness reacts quickly when moving between indoors and outdoors. The Reno10 Pro+ 5G screen is large enough for split-screen multitasking, and the 120Hz mode can be set to auto, high, or standard to balance smoothness and battery use.

Brightness and Smoothness

Peak brightness is strong enough for outdoor photography and navigation, and the smooth refresh rate keeps animations consistent. Some apps cap their frame rate, so not every app runs at 120Hz, but the system interface, browser, and most social apps feel fast. The touch response is quick, which helps in games and in fast typing. Overall, the display is a reason to choose this phone, not just a supporting part.

Cameras and Portrait Photography

The camera system is the headline feature. As a periscope camera phone, it offers a zoom range that most rivals cannot match. The OPPO Reno10 camera family has long focused on portraits, and the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ camera setup includes three rear cameras: a 50MP wide camera with optical image stabilisation, a 64MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and optical image stabilisation, and an 8MP ultrawide camera. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ periscope camera zoom quality is the feature that sets this phone apart, because most phones at this price use a simple digital zoom or a short telephoto lens. The periscope design folds the light path inside the phone, which allows a longer zoom in a slim body. That design is the reason portrait photos at 3x zoom look sharper and more natural than cropped photos from a main camera.

OPPO Reno10 Pro+ camera performance in daylight is strong. The 50MP main camera captures detailed photos with good dynamic range, and the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 50MP main camera photo quality holds up when photos are viewed on a large screen or cropped slightly. Colours are lively without looking artificial, and the camera app is fast to open, focus, and shoot. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 64MP telephoto portrait mode results are the most interesting part: at 3x zoom, faces look natural, background blur is smooth, and skin tones stay balanced. Portrait mode also works at other focal lengths, but the 3x setting is the sweet spot for head-and-shoulders shots, because it avoids the wide-angle distortion that can make faces look stretched.

The 8MP ultrawide camera is useful for landscapes, buildings, and group photos where the main camera cannot fit everything in the frame. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 8MP ultrawide camera landscape photo quality is good in daylight, with decent detail in the centre of the frame, although edges soften and low-light shots show more noise than the main camera. That trade-off is normal for an 8MP ultrawide sensor. The camera app offers night mode, panorama, slow motion, time-lapse, and a pro mode with manual controls for ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and focus. Video recording reaches 4K, and the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ video recording stabilization quality helps keep handheld clips steady while walking. Electronic and optical stabilisation work together, and the result is smooth video for travel clips and family moments.

For readers comparing the camera with the standard Reno10, the OPPO Reno10 5G (Global) Review: Design, Software and Camera Quality shows what the base model offers, and the gap in zoom quality is clear. The Pro+ model is the one to pick when zoom and portraits matter most. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ zoom advantage is not only about reach; it is about keeping detail at 3x and 6x, where a digital crop would lose texture in hair, fabric, and distant signs. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 3x optical zoom portrait photography tips are simple: use good light, keep the subject at a natural distance, tap to focus on the eyes, and let the background blur do the work. Indoors, the main camera may be better in very low light, but the periscope still performs well in bright indoor settings.

Periscope Telephoto and Portrait Mode

The 64MP periscope camera is the core of the portrait experience. It gives a natural perspective for portraits, keeps the subject separated from the background, and preserves detail in eyes and hair. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ portrait mode uses the telephoto lens to create a pleasing compression effect, which makes faces look more flattering than a wide-angle shot taken up close. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ camera settings for best portrait shots are easy to learn: choose portrait mode, select 3x zoom, set the aperture effect to a moderate level, and shoot in daylight or in a well-lit room. The phone also offers different portrait styles and filters, but the natural look usually ages best.

Main Camera and Ultrawide Camera

The main camera is the workhorse for everyday photos. It focuses quickly, handles mixed light well, and produces photos that need little editing before sharing. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ night mode low light photography is handled by night mode, which combines several frames to brighten shadows and reduce noise. Night shots from the main camera keep colours natural and keep bright signs from blowing out, although very dark scenes still show some softness. The ultrawide camera is best in daylight, and it adds a useful wide view for travel and architecture. Together, the three cameras cover wide, normal, and zoom views without forcing the user to move closer or further away.

Selfie Camera

The front camera is a 32MP sensor, and the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ selfie quality is sharp and detailed in good light. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 32MP front camera selfie quality is helped by autofocus in the front camera system, which keeps faces in focus at arm’s length. Selfies show natural skin tones, and the beauty mode can be turned down or off for a more realistic look. Video calls look clear, and front video recording is smooth enough for vlogs and social clips. The front camera also supports portrait mode with background blur, which is useful for solo shots and video calls in busy places.

Portrait Mode Tips for Better Shots

Good portraits start with light and distance. Stand a few steps back, use the 3x zoom, and place the subject against a simple background. Avoid harsh midday sun on the face, and use shade or a window for softer light. Keep the phone steady, tap the eyes to focus, and take two or three shots so you can pick the best expression. These habits matter more than any single setting, and they work well with the periscope lens on this phone.

Performance and Gaming

Performance comes from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, built on a 4 nm process. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 performance is flagship-level for its launch period, with fast single-core and multi-core speed for apps, photo editing, and games. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ performance in daily use feels quick: apps open fast, the camera app responds without delay, and switching between apps is smooth. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ gaming experience is also strong, with popular titles running at high settings and stable frame rates in most sessions. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ antutu score position is in the flagship range for its generation, which matches the smooth feel in real use, although benchmark numbers vary by software version and temperature.

The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 12GB RAM multitasking speed test angle is simple to explain: with 12GB of RAM, the phone keeps many apps in memory, so returning to a browser, a map, or a chat app is instant. The 16GB version goes further, and the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 16GB RAM 512GB storage configuration options give heavy users more headroom for large games, offline video, and photo libraries. RAM expansion in software can add virtual RAM, but the physical RAM is already generous. Storage is fast UFS storage, and the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ storage speed helps games load quickly and helps the camera save large photos without waiting. There is no microSD slot, and the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 256GB storage without microSD card slot means buyers who shoot a lot of 4K video should consider the 512GB model.

Heat control is important for sustained gaming. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ gaming performance and heating control are handled by a vapour chamber cooling system and by software that balances speed and temperature. Short gaming sessions stay cool, and longer sessions warm up gradually without sudden drops in frame rate. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ heating in long sessions is noticeable after extended play, but it stays within the range that most flagship phones show under load. Using a case can trap a little extra heat, so removing the case for long gaming sessions can help. The phone also supports 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, NFC, and dual SIM use, and the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ dual SIM connectivity and network support cover the main 5G bands used in many markets, with exact band support varying by model.

For a newer Reno model with a different balance of gaming and battery, the OPPO Reno11 Pro 5G (Global) Review: Gaming, Multitasking and Battery Life is a useful comparison, because it shows how the next generation tuned performance for everyday gaming. The Reno10 Pro+ 5G still feels fast for current apps, and its Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip is a clear step above the mid-range chips used in many rivals. That chip also helps with AI photo features, fast image processing, and smooth video editing on the phone.

Gaming and Heat Control

Gaming on the large AMOLED screen is enjoyable, with bright colours, smooth motion, and responsive touch. The game mode can block notifications, lock brightness, and prioritise network performance for the game in progress. Frame rates stay stable in popular competitive games at high settings, and the phone handles long sessions without forcing the user to lower graphics after a few minutes. The cooling system spreads heat across the body, so no single spot becomes too hot to hold. Players who want the best results should keep the software updated, close heavy background apps before a long session, and charge the phone before playing rather than gaming while charging at full speed.

Multitasking and Everyday Speed

Everyday speed is where this phone earns its keep. Email, maps, streaming, social media, and photo editing all run without stutter. Split-screen mode works well on the large display, and the app switcher is fast. The fingerprint sensor, face unlock, and quick settings all respond instantly. The phone feels like a flagship in normal use, not just in benchmarks, and that is the most useful test for most buyers.

Battery Life and 100W Charging

Battery life is solid for a phone with a large, bright 120Hz screen and a flagship chip. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ battery is a 4700 mAh cell, and the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 4700mAh battery drain per day depends on screen brightness, 5G use, gaming, and camera use. In mixed use with social media, messaging, maps, video, and some photography, the phone lasts a full day for most owners, with charge left in the evening. Heavy gaming or long 4K video recording drains the battery faster, as on any phone, but the Reno10 Pro+ 5G still reaches the end of a normal workday without a top-up for many users. Reno10 Pro+ battery life in lighter use can stretch further, especially with the refresh rate set to auto and brightness kept moderate.

Charging is where this phone truly stands out. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ charging system is 100W SUPERVOOC wired charging, and the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 100W charging battery life test story is really about speed: a short charge adds a large amount of battery, and a full charge takes well under half an hour in typical conditions. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ SUPERVOOC charging time from zero to full is fast enough that a quick charge while getting ready in the morning can cover the day. The phone is fast charging in minutes, not hours, and that changes how owners use it: there is less need to charge overnight, and a brief top-up before leaving home is often enough. The charger in the box in many markets supports the full 100W speed, although owners should check what is included in their region. There is no wireless charging, so wired charging is the only fast option, but the wired speed makes that trade-off easier to accept.

Battery health features in ColorOS help protect the cell over time, including optimised charging that slows the final stage overnight. The phone also offers power-saving modes that extend standby time by limiting background activity and lowering the refresh rate. For travel, the combination of a full-day battery and a very fast charger is practical: a power bank is rarely needed for a day trip, and a short stop at a cafe with a charger can restore a large share of the battery.

Daily Endurance in Real Use

Real use varies, but the pattern is consistent. A day with calls, messaging, browsing, and an hour of video leaves comfortable reserve. A day with heavy maps, camera use, and 5G streaming uses more power, yet the fast charger makes a midday top-up painless. The phone shows clear battery usage stats in settings, so owners can see which apps use the most power and adjust them. Turning off the always-on display and using auto refresh rate can add useful extra time on long days.

Software and Everyday Use

The phone launched with Android 13 and ColorOS 13.1, and the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ Android 15 ColorOS 15 update path is part of its long-term appeal, because owners can move to a newer Android version with updated features and security patches. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ software experience is clean and customisable, with a familiar layout, useful widgets, and a wide range of themes and always-on display styles. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ ColorOS 13.1 software features and interface include smart sidebar tools, flexible windows for multitasking, privacy controls, and a file manager that makes it easy to find photos and downloads. The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ software update support and long term use picture is better than many rivals, because OPPO has provided major Android updates for this model beyond its launch version.

OPPO Reno10 Pro+ software in daily use feels polished. Notifications are easy to manage, the control centre is clear, and the settings app is well organised. The phone includes useful extras such as screen recording, a game space, a private safe for files, and app lock for sensitive apps. The software also includes AI features for photos and productivity in newer updates, depending on region and version. The interface is not stock Android, so some menus look different from a Pixel phone, but the learning curve is short, and the extra features are genuinely useful rather than just decorative.

Connectivity and everyday tools are complete. The phone supports dual SIM, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC for payments, and GPS for navigation. The in-display fingerprint sensor and face unlock cover security, and the phone supports app cloning for users who run two accounts for the same service. The OPPO Reno11 F 5G Review: Strengths, Trade-Offs and Everyday Use gives a useful look at a later Reno model with a different software and hardware balance, and it helps to show how OPPO has kept the Reno software experience consistent while changing the hardware underneath. The Reno10 Pro+ 5G remains easy to live with day to day, with a fast interface, a large screen, and a camera that is ready in seconds.

ColorOS Features and Interface

ColorOS on this phone offers a clean home screen, a smart sidebar for quick app access, and floating windows for replying to messages while watching video. The always-on display can be customised, and the theme store offers new looks without changing the core layout. Privacy features include permission controls, a privacy dashboard, and the ability to hide photos and files. The software is stable, and regular updates have fixed bugs and improved camera performance since launch. Owners should keep automatic updates on, or check manually in settings, to receive the latest Android and security updates.

Full Specifications

The table below brings together the full specifications for the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G, based on the verified launch information. The model numbers are PHU110 and CPH2521, and the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ PHU110 model specifications and features match the global CPH2521 version in the core hardware, with the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ CPH2521 global version differences explained mainly by region, bands, and bundled accessories rather than by a different camera or chip. Use the table as a quick reference when comparing this phone with other Reno models.

The specifications show a clear focus: a flagship chip, a large high-refresh display, a periscope camera, and very fast charging, all in a 194-gram body. The trade-offs are also clear in the table: no microSD slot, no wireless charging, and no headphone jack. Buyers who accept those trade-offs get a phone that is strong in the areas that matter most for daily use and photography.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions cover the topics that buyers ask most often about the Reno10 Pro+ 5G, from release timing and charging to zoom quality and software updates.

Is the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G still a good choice in 2026?

Yes, for buyers who value portrait zoom, a large AMOLED display, and fast charging, the phone remains a good choice in 2026. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip still handles current apps and games well, the periscope camera still stands out, and the Android 15 update keeps the software current. Buyers who want the longest software support or the newest camera sensor may prefer a newer model, but the Reno10 Pro+ 5G still delivers a strong everyday experience, and its price in the used and remaining-stock market makes it attractive for portrait photography.

Does the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G support 100W charging?

Yes, the phone supports 100W SUPERVOOC wired charging for its 4700 mAh battery. A compatible 100W charger can restore a large share of the battery in a short time, and a full charge takes well under half an hour in typical conditions. There is no wireless charging, so owners should use the wired charger for the fastest results, and they should check that the charger and cable in their region support the full 100W speed.

How good is the periscope zoom on the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G?

The periscope zoom is very good for portraits and for distant subjects in daylight. The 64MP telephoto camera gives 3x optical zoom with optical image stabilisation, so photos stay sharp and natural at that range. Portrait mode at 3x zoom is the standout use, with pleasing background blur and natural face proportions. Digital zoom beyond 3x still works, but detail drops gradually, so 3x is the best setting for the highest quality.

Can the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G be upgraded to Android 15?

Yes, the phone launched with Android 13 and ColorOS 13.1, and it can be upgraded to Android 15 with ColorOS 15, subject to region and rollout timing. Owners should check Settings, then Software update, to see whether the update is available for their model. The update brings newer features, interface refinements, and security patches, and it helps the phone stay useful for longer.

For buyers weighing the Reno10 Pro+ 5G against other phones, the choice comes down to priorities. If portrait zoom, a large smooth display, flagship speed, and very fast charging matter most, this phone delivers all four in a slim 194-gram body. If expandable storage, wireless charging, or a flat display matter more, other phones may fit better. On balance, the Reno10 Pro+ 5G remains a distinctive phone in the Reno family, because its periscope camera gives it a photographic ability that most rivals at its level cannot match, and its daily performance and charging speed make it easy to live with long after the first week.
