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

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:10.559
attention well one of the ways that oppo thinks they can stand out from the crowd

00:00:08.559 --> 00:00:15.920
is by cramming some of the features normally found in top-tier flagship

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:18.880
devices into the mid-range oppo reno 4

00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:23.279
pro this thing has super fast 65 watt charging a big curved display with a 90

00:00:21.439 --> 00:00:28.320
hertz refresh rate and some truly impressive camera features while running

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:29.840
on a snapdragon 720 g and 8 gigs of RAM

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:34.800
but is that enough to make you cheat on your samsungs and your iphones

00:00:32.239 --> 00:00:38.760
let's take a closer look and thank oppo for sponsoring this showcase

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:50.960
handling the reno4 pro it might not even be that shocking that it's packed with

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:55.440
flagship features because this thing does not really feel

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

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:04.239
that it feels like there's nothing on the inside you know like those plastic

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

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

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:17.759
fingerprint resistant matte finish along with a quad rear camera array we've got

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:21.520
three physical buttons total two on the left side for volume and the power

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:26.000
button on the right there's a sim card tray and microphone on the top along

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:30.640
with a single speaker usb type-c charging port and

00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:35.600
headphone jack on the bottom in these dark times it is good to know that some

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:38.240
brands still follow the old ways keep the three and a half millimeter

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:43.759
dream alive oppo now for the display once again it's hard

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

00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:53.680
super amoled with a 2400 by 1080 resolution and a

00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:56.159
92.01 screen to body ratio that's helped

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

00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:03.600
curved edge design but for those of you who like it this one comes with a

00:02:01.600 --> 00:02:08.160
sidebar function that you can use to pin frequently used apps the real kicker

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:13.200
with the display though is the 90 hertz refresh rate with a touch sampling rate

00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:15.520
of up to 180 hertz that translates to

00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:20.080
not only a smoother experience scrolling through photos or social media but also

00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:23.599
to snap your gameplay so you can tell your defeated enemies that they paid too

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

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

00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:37.680
there's really just no going back now after all that snappy

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:42.319
gameplay obviously you're gonna need to recharge and that's where their 65 watt

00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:47.360
charging comes in handy apple calls their flash charging tech supervooc 2.0

00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:52.720
and they say it can fully charge the reno4 pro from zero to a hundred percent

00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:57.360
in just 36 minutes sounds incredibly dangerous like can you

00:02:55.040 --> 00:03:00.239
imagine the heat that produces well

00:02:58.239 --> 00:03:05.200
okay actually oppo has been developing their super voop technology since 2014.

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

00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:14.159
cells receive current in an alternating pattern eliminating the need to reduce

00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:19.040
the voltage in order to avoid heat buildup pretty cool

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:24.159
get it oppo also uses specialized chips in the charging adapter usb cable and

00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:28.159
the reno4 pro itself which check that the voltage and current levels are

00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:32.959
within permissible limits now oppo says that with only five minutes of charging

00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:37.040
you can watch youtube for four hours and while i wasn't gonna pay riley to

00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:40.879
watch four hours of youtube videos at work we did put up those charging claims

00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:45.519
to the test now our model came with a north american

00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:48.959
plug adapter but thanks to regional differences in power delivery that's

00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:53.760
only going to give us 50 watts of charging but to make sure we got the

00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:58.400
full 65 watts with the reno 4 pro's non-north american charger

00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:02.560
we plugged it into this it's a light fuse power converter that i

00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:06.560
actually got for a completely unrelated project but it definitely came in handy

00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:11.920
here so five minutes plugged into this monster got us to 18

00:04:09.200 --> 00:04:16.560
10 minutes got us to 37 it's basically linear at that point at

00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:21.359
15 minutes we were up to 51 then by 20 minutes we were at 70 30

00:04:19.440 --> 00:04:25.120
minutes brought us to 94 and so on and so forth honestly

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

00:04:27.280 --> 00:04:33.680
percent at 36 minutes and 41 seconds

00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:37.919
like i was wondering why did oppo say 36 minutes instead of like you know under

00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:43.040
40 i guess it's because it's literally like 36 minutes like exactly

00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:47.280
suffice to say if phone uptime is the most important thing to you you really

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

00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:56.160
the camera now modern smartphones are really taking advantage of ai powered

00:04:53.280 --> 00:05:00.000
processing to make gorgeous looking photos and the reno4 pro is expanding

00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:03.919
that idea creatively in a couple of ways first off you have a number of zoom

00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:07.759
options in both photo and video mode that give you a lot of flexibility in

00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:11.600
terms of how you compose your shot and in our tests photos and videos taken

00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:16.400
with this camera look nice and crisp with surprisingly good color and dynamic

00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:20.880
range especially guys remember this is really important for a mid-range phone

00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:25.199
it even gives phones that are focused on photography like the google pixel line a

00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:29.919
run for their money but apple also fits in some fun ai powered creative features

00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:33.600
including ai color portrait which lets you desaturate the background while

00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:37.919
retaining the color of the subject in the scene something you would normally

00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:42.320
have to do in post and this mode even works with video recording you should

00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:45.680
see how fast taran could do this on his station compared to the phone with his

00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:50.479
macros maybe fast it's got a lot of macros

00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:54.800
low light modes are also getting really good in modern phones although

00:05:52.639 --> 00:06:00.160
you only really expect to see really strong low light in flagship phones

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

00:06:01.840 --> 00:06:09.759
got a specialized low-light mode for selfies appropriately titled ultra night

00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:12.160
selfie mode so you can entertain your

00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:16.160
deepest narcissistic tendencies even in the blackest night of

00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:20.400
the soul now we didn't even talk about how opposed flavor of Android called

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:23.759
color os has come a long way and manages to add some life enhancing features

00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:28.000
while still allowing you to basically get as close to stock Android as you

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

00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:35.520
phone that punches above its weight class check out the reno4 pro and thanks

00:06:33.840 --> 00:06:40.479
again to oppo for sponsoring this showcase if you guys enjoy more showcases like

00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:44.319
this one why not go check out this one where i unboxed a robot vacuum

00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:50.800
did it try to kill you no but it did try to launch itself off

00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.800
the table
