OPPO Reno13 and 13 Pro: Pioneering smartphone innovation

In the context of an increasingly competitive smartphone market, OPPO is constantly striving to research and develop, improve and integrate new technologies into new generations. OPPO Reno13 and Reno13 Pro continue to be a testament to that pioneering spirit, inheriting the legacy of the Reno series, while enhancing the user experience.

From the meticulous design with the butterfly effect on the back, to the sophisticated cold-sculpted glass technology and the versatile AI camera system, this duo promises to meet all strict expectations. Not stopping there, the integration of the powerful Dimensity 8350 processor and a series of rich AI features further affirms OPPO's desire to bring a comprehensive device that well serves the needs of modern users.

High-end and trendy design

At first glance, Reno13 and Reno13 Pro attract with their premium appearance, blending aesthetics and durability. The duo has an extremely thin and light design of only 7.24 mm and a weight of 181 grams.

The metal frame is delicately beveled, creating a solid yet light feeling when held. The back features a 'butterfly effect', a unique highlight, reminiscent of the beauty and shimmer of butterfly wings in different lighting conditions.

To realize this effect, OPPO applied a 65-step cold-carving glass process, doubling the carving time and increasing the polishing time by 50%, turning the back into a work of art that is both visually appealing and scratch-resistant.

On the front, the standard OPPO Reno13 is equipped with a 2D flat screen, using a 6.59-inch AMOLED panel, 2,760 x 1,256 pixel resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, 1,200 nits maximum brightness and supports DCI-P3 wide color gamut.

Meanwhile, Reno13 Pro uses a 6.83-inch AMOLED screen, 1.5K resolution and a similar refresh rate of 120 Hz. The difference between the two lines lies in the slightly curved screen design on the Pro version, making the visual experience more vivid and luxurious.

Camera 'grows wings' with the help of AI

Not only stopping at the back design, OPPO also meticulously cared for the camera cluster to enhance both aesthetics and durability. The camera protection glass is processed through cold glass carving technology, creating a smooth, transparent surface, minimizing fingerprints or scratches.

The Reno13 Series is equipped with an impressive camera system. Both devices have a 50 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 50 MP selfie camera with a variety of AI features. The Reno13 Pro adds a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera that supports 3.5x optical zoom and up to 120x digital zoom.

Reno13 Series continues to harness the power of AI to optimize the photography and video experience. Still AI on Reno13 & Reno13 Pro enhances still photography capabilities, delivering sharp images, wide contrast range, and true colors.

Meanwhile, Live AI supports more stable video recording, thanks to the combination of AI with OIS, allowing the device to blur the background, automatically correct the light and focus smoothly. In particular, the ability to take photos underwater becomes remarkable with IP68 and IP69 standards, allowing the device to dive up to 2m deep for 30 minutes, with a separate shooting mode activation button. Thanks to that, users do not need to worry too much about wet environments or when wearing gloves.

Extremely powerful performance

The performance of Reno13 & Reno13 Pro is built on the 4nm Dimensity 8350 platform, combined with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB UFS 3.1 internal memory. This is an important improvement, helping to increase AI processing speed, effectively supporting 4K video recording, photography, heavy gaming and AI-generated applications.

In addition, Reno13 Series also integrates X1 network chip, which helps stabilize Wi-Fi bandwidth speed, increase connection distance up to 163 meters, providing a smooth experience when watching videos or playing games online.

To ensure a full experience, OPPO equips the Reno13 Pro with a battery capacity of 5800mAh, Reno13: 5600mAh using Silicon Carbon battery technology, increasing energy density without increasing size. This helps the device operate durably all day, even when continuously playing games, watching movies, or using graphics-heavy tasks.

Combined with 80W SuperVOOC fast charging technology, it only takes a short time to charge the device and the battery is almost fully charged. Thanks to the synchronization between large battery and fast charging, Reno13 & Reno13 Pro can keep up with any schedule, ensuring users are not interrupted.

The trio of IP66, IP68 and IP69 standards clearly demonstrate OPPO's investment in product durability and protection. IP66 allows the device to withstand high-pressure water jets for 3 minutes, IP68 allows the device to be submerged at a depth of 1.5m for 30 minutes, while IP69 can withstand water jets with temperatures up to 80°C. This durability gives users more peace of mind when using the device in unfavorable conditions.

Full AI features

In addition to powerful hardware, Reno13 & Reno13 Pro also stand out with a rich AI ecosystem, becoming a powerful 'right-hand man' for work and life. Running the ColorOS 15 interface on the Android platform, Reno13 Series can translate AI to help communicate in multiple languages, summarize content and automatically adjust text formatting with AI. The AI ​​auto-reply feature also supports instant message or email responses, while AI voice recognition smoothly converts speech into text.
