The Oppo Reno13 series, comprising the Reno13 F, Reno13, and Reno13 Pro, distinguishes itself from competitors like the Samsung Galaxy A56 and Nothing Phone 3a Pro by integrating advanced AI capabilities typically found in flagship devices. Oppo’s strategy aims to democratize access to cutting-edge AI features, making them available to a wider audience.
The Reno13 Pro, the series’ top model, boasts a triple rear camera setup: a 50MP main camera, an 8MP wide-angle lens, and a standout 50MP telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom. A 50MP front-facing camera with autofocus caters to selfie enthusiasts. Powering the device is a MediaTek Dimensity 8350 processor, optimized in collaboration with Oppo for AI imaging and demanding tasks. It’s complemented by 12GB of RAM and storage options of 256GB or 512GB.
The Reno13 Pro features a large 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and slim 1.6mm bezels, contributing to a modern aesthetic. Its aluminum frame and “cold sculpted” dual-texture glass back, available in Graphite Grey or Plume Purple, create a premium feel. Weighing 195 grams, the phone boasts IP66, IP68, and IP69 dust and water resistance, along with a substantial 5,800mAh battery supporting 80W wired charging.
The Reno13 shares the same processor as the Pro model but features a slightly smaller 6.59-inch, 120Hz display and a modified camera system. The telephoto lens is replaced with a 2MP monochrome sensor. The battery capacity is slightly reduced to 5,600mAh, resulting in a lighter weight of 181 grams. It’s offered in black or white and retains the same durability ratings. Details about the base model, the Reno13 F, are limited, but it’s expected to have more modest specifications.
Advanced AI Features in the Reno13 Series
Oppo equips the Reno13 series with a comprehensive suite of AI-powered features. Running Android 15 with Oppo’s ColorOS 15, similar to OnePlus’s OxygenOS 15, the phones leverage Google Gemini as the primary assistant and include Circle to Search. The camera software benefits from AI enhancements such as an object eraser, Best Face mode, and an AI Studio for creative photo editing. Practical tools like reflection and blur removers further enhance the user experience. AI Live Photo captures 1.5 seconds of video before and after pressing the shutter, transforming still photos into short video clips.
Beyond photography, the Reno13 series incorporates AI summary tools, an AI Writer mode, and even background AI processes to manage device temperature during gaming. The optimized MediaTek Dimensity 8350 processor ensures smooth performance for demanding tasks like 4K 60fps video recording and high-speed data transfer in online games. This approach contrasts with Samsung’s Galaxy AI, offering a broader range of users access to advanced AI features.
The Reno13 series signifies Oppo’s renewed commitment to the U.K. market, following its re-entry in 2024. All three phones will launch on April 3rd through EE, Oppo’s online store, Currys, and TikTok.
