The other models, the Reno4 5G and the Reno4 Z 5G carry their weight respectively with hot, in-demand features including expert camera lenses and high-end displays. Together, the series delivers a powerful 5G experience and sets a new standard for low-light mobile photo and videography for Kiwis looking to up their game.
The Reno4 Pro 5G and Reno4 5G share some features such as a Triple Camera System and the Sony IMX586 Sensor, with a 48MP Wide Angle Lens and a 32MP front selfie camera. Both devices also introduce the new Ultra Night Video and sport the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G and 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 Flash Charge.

OPPO New Zealand Managing Director Morgan Halim says: “With state-of-the-art technology and impeccable design, the latest Reno Series continues to redefine what’s possible, offering Kiwis premium experiences for less.
“The Reno4 Series is welcomed off the back of a successful launch of our first 5G devices earlier this year, demonstrating our continued commitment ensuring all customers are future ready with access to 5G options.
“At OPPO, the customer is at the centre of everything we do and if 2020 has shown us anything, it’s that we’re relying on our smartphones more than ever, so we’re pleased to continue providing an exceptional smartphone experience,” added Halim.
The boundaries of smartphone photography and videography are endless with the Reno4 Series perfecting low light mobile video and stills. Ultra Night Video and Ultra Steady Video 3.0 shoots smooth and quality video content in a variety of settings including low light conditions.

Front Camera Steady Video: New to the front camera allows for super steady selfie videos to be shot.
For the aspiring filmmakers out there, Cinematic Mode on the Reno4 5G brings professional videography elements to the palm of your hand, switching to 21:9 landscape mode by default and giving a range of options for better control, such as exposure value (EV), white balance (WB), ISO and more.
Distinctive design
The Reno4 5G Series is the first range of smartphones to feature the new Reno Glow design texture. Crafted from more than 1 million solid diamond-shaped crystal faces that are densely distributed on the back of the device, the design reflects a diamond-like shine. The unique design demands to stand out and makes the Reno Glow cover completely fingerprint-free and scratch-resistant, compared to ordinary AG glass.
The Reno4 Pro 5G sports a 6.5” OLED, 3D curved screen and weighs just 172g, paving the way for a new era of ultra slim 5G devices. In turn, the Reno4 5G runs with a 6.4” AMOLED FHD+ display, a 7.8mm body and the Reno4 Z 5G offers a 6.5” FHD+LCD screen, in a 8.1mm body.
