In this review, we’ll explore the key aspects of the new OPPO Reno13 Pro including its standout features as well as its overall performance to help you better decide whether its the right choice for your next mobile upgrade.
OPPO Reno13 Pro: Design
Like any other Reno series smartphone, the Reno13 Pro is an incredibly sleek and stylish handset that features an ultra-slim profile measuring just 7.55mm in thickness. The design is based on a seamless One-piece Sculpted Glass back that provides a premium look and feel which allows it to stand out in a crowded smartphone market while maintaining a high level of craftsmanship and sophistication.
The Graphite Black model I had for review has a steely shade to it that looks classy and stylish. On top of that, it’s also augmented with a fingerprint-free matte finish which ensures the device is able maintain its best look at all times.
Despite its relatively low price, the Reno13 Pro features an Aerospace-grade Aluminium Frame which is claimed to provide 200% greater yield strength than a plastic frame, as well as 20% improved resistance to bending and 36% improved drop resistance. This allows the phone to strike an optimal balance in lightweight construction and strength.

To sweeten up the deal, the OPPO Reno13 Pro also comes with an IP69-rating for dust and water resistance – ensuring the phone is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand being submerged in water up to 2 meters deep for 30 minutes. This makes it ideal for those who lead an active lifestyle or frequently use their smartphone in challenging environments.
Over on the front side, the Reno13 Pro continues to impress with a 6.83” OLED display that offers vibrant colours, deep blacks, and exceptional clarity. With a high 1.5K screen resolution and rich contrast ratio, the screen never fails to deliver life-like visuals, whether you’re watching movies, playing games, or simply scrolling through social media contents.
OPPO Reno13 Pro: Performance
Sitting at the heart of the OPPO Reno13 Pro is a custom MediaTek Dimensity 8350 mobile platform that offers excellent performance for both casual and power users. Whether for daily tasks, mobile gaming, or media consumption, the device provides a responsive and smooth user experience with strong AI enhancements and solid battery efficiency.
Those who love mobile gaming would also be glad to know that the new Reno13 Pro comes with a self-developed Adaptive Frame Booster feature which leverages GPU-driven intermediate frame generation to elevate frame rates in games like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and PUBG Mobile from 60 FPS to 120 FPS while consuming significantly less power compared to native 120 FPS settings. This basically means that the device will be able to deliver smooth visuals while preserving battery life at the same time.
To keep its lights on, the phone is also backed by a respectable 5,800mAh battery that’s capable of delivering one full day of heavy usage with some juice to spare at the end of the day. Charging-wise, it supports an ultra-fast 80W SuperVOOC flash charging which is able to recharge a completely flat battery from 0 to 100% in just around 50 minutes.
OPPO Reno13 Pro: Cameras
Moving on to the imaging side of things, the OPPO Reno13 Pro comes with a flagship-grade triple camera system lead by a 50 megapixels (f/1.8 aperture) main camera, 50 megapixels (f/2.8 aperture) telephoto camera, as well as an 8 megapixels (f/2.2 aperture) ultra-wide camera.
The main camera offers impressive performance with an advanced 1/1.56” Sony IMX890 imaging sensor that captures sharp, detailed images with vibrant colours and excellent dynamic range. Other than that, it’s also equipped with a capable autofocusing and OIS stabilization system that helps to ensure clear shots in fast-moving scenes.
Just like the company’s flagship Find X8 Pro (Review), the OPPO Reno13 Pro has the ability to shoot with the new AI Livephoto mode – a feature that allows you to capture a few seconds of motion and sound before and after you take a photo, thereby adding more depth and context to the moment than a still photo. In fact, the Reno13 Pro is one of the first few Android smartphones in the market that supports this innovative shooting mode.

Besides the main camera, the Reno13 Pro also impresses with an exceptional telephoto camera that’s able to capture distant subjects with high clarity and details, making it ideal for portraits and wildlife photography. While this camera utilizes the same Samsung SKJN5 sensor as last year’s Reno12 Pro (Review), the addition of OIS stabilization greatly improves image quality by reducing blur and ensuring stable shots, especially in low-light conditions.
To further elevate mobile photography experience on the Reno13 Pro, the phone is also supplemented with a wide range of cutting-edge AI features such as AI Eraser, which allows users to easily remove unwanted people from photos with a single tap, and AI Best Face, which leverages advanced GenAI technology to detect closed eyes in photos and automatically “reopen” them to ensure every shot is perfect.
Anyway, these are just a few of the AI features offered by the new ColorOS 15, which comes pre-installed on the Reno13 Pro. Photography-aside, the new AI features that comes along with ColorOS 15 also focuses on improving productivity and entertainment experience on OPPO smartphones.
