1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,640
it's 20 20 and there is a crazy number of phones out there vying for your

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:10,559
attention well one of the ways that oppo thinks they can stand out from the crowd

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:15,920
is by cramming some of the features normally found in top-tier flagship

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:18,880
devices into the mid-range oppo reno 4

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:23,279
pro this thing has super fast 65 watt charging a big curved display with a 90

6
00:00:21,439 --> 00:00:28,320
hertz refresh rate and some truly impressive camera features while running

7
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:29,840
on a snapdragon 720 g and 8 gigs of RAM

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:34,800
but is that enough to make you cheat on your samsungs and your iphones

9
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:38,760
let's take a closer look and thank oppo for sponsoring this showcase

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,960
handling the reno4 pro it might not even be that shocking that it's packed with

11
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,440
flagship features because this thing does not really feel

12
00:00:53,280 --> 00:01:00,320
like a mid-range device at all it's super thin and light but not so light

13
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,239
that it feels like there's nothing on the inside you know like those plastic

14
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:08,320
phone mock-ups that you see at cell phone kiosks there's a lot in there as

15
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:12,640
we've mentioned but we'll get to that in a moment on the back there's a beautiful

16
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:17,759
fingerprint resistant matte finish along with a quad rear camera array we've got

17
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:21,520
three physical buttons total two on the left side for volume and the power

18
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:26,000
button on the right there's a sim card tray and microphone on the top along

19
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:30,640
with a single speaker usb type-c charging port and

20
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:35,600
headphone jack on the bottom in these dark times it is good to know that some

21
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,240
brands still follow the old ways keep the three and a half millimeter

22
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:43,759
dream alive oppo now for the display once again it's hard

23
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:49,119
to differentiate the reno4 pro from a flagship here it's a six and a half inch

24
00:01:46,399 --> 00:01:53,680
super amoled with a 2400 by 1080 resolution and a

25
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:56,159
92.01 screen to body ratio that's helped

26
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,840
a bit by the 3d curved screen now we've seen some brands move away from the

27
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:03,600
curved edge design but for those of you who like it this one comes with a

28
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:08,160
sidebar function that you can use to pin frequently used apps the real kicker

29
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:13,200
with the display though is the 90 hertz refresh rate with a touch sampling rate

30
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:15,520
of up to 180 hertz that translates to

31
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:20,080
not only a smoother experience scrolling through photos or social media but also

32
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:23,599
to snap your gameplay so you can tell your defeated enemies that they paid too

33
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:28,640
much for their phone or whatever now it's not the 120 hertz that we're seeing

34
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:33,440
in some of the newest flagships but 90 is a huge step up compared to 60 and

35
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:37,680
there's really just no going back now after all that snappy

36
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:42,319
gameplay obviously you're gonna need to recharge and that's where their 65 watt

37
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:47,360
charging comes in handy apple calls their flash charging tech supervooc 2.0

38
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:52,720
and they say it can fully charge the reno4 pro from zero to a hundred percent

39
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:57,360
in just 36 minutes sounds incredibly dangerous like can you

40
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:00,239
imagine the heat that produces well

41
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:05,200
okay actually oppo has been developing their super voop technology since 2014.

42
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:10,080
part of the solution is to use a dual cell battery system in which two 5 volt

43
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:14,159
cells receive current in an alternating pattern eliminating the need to reduce

44
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:19,040
the voltage in order to avoid heat buildup pretty cool

45
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:24,159
get it oppo also uses specialized chips in the charging adapter usb cable and

46
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:28,159
the reno4 pro itself which check that the voltage and current levels are

47
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:32,959
within permissible limits now oppo says that with only five minutes of charging

48
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:37,040
you can watch youtube for four hours and while i wasn't gonna pay riley to

49
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:40,879
watch four hours of youtube videos at work we did put up those charging claims

50
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:45,519
to the test now our model came with a north american

51
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:48,959
plug adapter but thanks to regional differences in power delivery that's

52
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:53,760
only going to give us 50 watts of charging but to make sure we got the

53
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:58,400
full 65 watts with the reno 4 pro's non-north american charger

54
00:03:56,159 --> 00:04:02,560
we plugged it into this it's a light fuse power converter that i

55
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:06,560
actually got for a completely unrelated project but it definitely came in handy

56
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:11,920
here so five minutes plugged into this monster got us to 18

57
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:16,560
10 minutes got us to 37 it's basically linear at that point at

58
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:21,359
15 minutes we were up to 51 then by 20 minutes we were at 70 30

59
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:25,120
minutes brought us to 94 and so on and so forth honestly

60
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:30,960
i didn't expect the full charge to come so on the nose but we hit a hundred

61
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:33,680
percent at 36 minutes and 41 seconds

62
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:37,919
like i was wondering why did oppo say 36 minutes instead of like you know under

63
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:43,040
40 i guess it's because it's literally like 36 minutes like exactly

64
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:47,280
suffice to say if phone uptime is the most important thing to you you really

65
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:51,360
can't go wrong with the reno4 pro and the last thing we want to talk about is

66
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:56,160
the camera now modern smartphones are really taking advantage of ai powered

67
00:04:53,280 --> 00:05:00,000
processing to make gorgeous looking photos and the reno4 pro is expanding

68
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,919
that idea creatively in a couple of ways first off you have a number of zoom

69
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:07,759
options in both photo and video mode that give you a lot of flexibility in

70
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:11,600
terms of how you compose your shot and in our tests photos and videos taken

71
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:16,400
with this camera look nice and crisp with surprisingly good color and dynamic

72
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:20,880
range especially guys remember this is really important for a mid-range phone

73
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:25,199
it even gives phones that are focused on photography like the google pixel line a

74
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:29,919
run for their money but apple also fits in some fun ai powered creative features

75
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:33,600
including ai color portrait which lets you desaturate the background while

76
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:37,919
retaining the color of the subject in the scene something you would normally

77
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:42,320
have to do in post and this mode even works with video recording you should

78
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:45,680
see how fast taran could do this on his station compared to the phone with his

79
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,479
macros maybe fast it's got a lot of macros

80
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:54,800
low light modes are also getting really good in modern phones although

81
00:05:52,639 --> 00:06:00,160
you only really expect to see really strong low light in flagship phones

82
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:03,600
but the reno 4 pro's ultra dark mode is about as good as i've seen they've even

83
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:09,759
got a specialized low-light mode for selfies appropriately titled ultra night

84
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:12,160
selfie mode so you can entertain your

85
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:16,160
deepest narcissistic tendencies even in the blackest night of

86
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:20,400
the soul now we didn't even talk about how opposed flavor of Android called

87
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,759
color os has come a long way and manages to add some life enhancing features

88
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:28,000
while still allowing you to basically get as close to stock Android as you

89
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:31,280
want but i think we've said enough if you guys are interested in a mid-range

90
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,520
phone that punches above its weight class check out the reno4 pro and thanks

91
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:40,479
again to oppo for sponsoring this showcase if you guys enjoy more showcases like

92
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:44,319
this one why not go check out this one where i unboxed a robot vacuum

93
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:50,800
did it try to kill you no but it did try to launch itself off

94
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:50,800
the table
