We have always been proud to put our customers at the forefront of everything we do. We believe this new launch would truly provide our users a wholesome device for their everyday use”, said Nengi Akinola, the Marketing Manager, OPPO Nigeria at the launch event.

With the Reno3 Series, OPPO is set to create a new mobile photography trend and redefine the smartphone photography experience.

Breaking the Limitation of Lighting Context to Deliver “Clear in Every Shot”
OPPO has always been at the forefront of technology breakthroughs specific to smartphone photography performance innovation. Reno3 Series is here to challenge all lighting conditions of our daily life and to deliver photo&video of outstanding quality.

In the back, packed with 64MP Zoom Quadcam which includes 64MP Ultra-clear Main Camera, 13MP Telephoto Lens, 8MP Ultra Wide-angle Lens and 2MP Mono Lens, Reno3 Pro can meet the needs for ultra-wide angle, normal, and telephoto photography, even up to 20x Digital zoom. Pairing with Ultra Clear 108MP Image, daily photography is greatly improved without missing any details.

In the front, 44MP Ultra-clear Main Camera delivers high-definition selfies with authentic details of people’s facial texture and ornaments. On top of that, to make everyone appear natural and beautiful when taking selfies, OPPO puts a groundbreaking endeavor of its first Dual Lens Bokeh on the front cameras on Reno3 Pro, enabling better image matting and background gradient for selfies taken alone and in a group, especially when people pose differently.

For the first time, OPPO has added Ultra Night Mode algorithm in the front cameras. As taking selfie at night is a popular scenario for young explorers, Ultra Night Selfie Mode guarantees them to capture the facial clarity and brightness in dim light.

Moreover, the Ultra Dark Mode on rear camera makes photo taking in the dark so much easier. When ambient lighting is lower than 1 lux, Ultra Dark Mode will automatically turn on to help you capture the scenes that human eyes could not see. Using NPU, the Ultra Dark Mode realizes AI algorithm acceleration, challenging scenarios such as pubs and streets at night, which will be perfectly captured.

Notably, Reno3 Series is another strong proof of OPPO’s consistent endeavor to bring lab technology such as Lossless Zoom to everyday use cases. In fact, OPPO has always been a trailblazer in the field of zooming technology. On Reno3 Series, OPPO brought this cutting-edge technology closer to more users with 5x Hybrid Zoom and 20x Digital Zoom, especially optimized user scenarios when taking portraits or capturing words from a lecture in a distance.

Regarding videography on Reno3 Series, the Ultra Steady Video has evolved into Ultra Steady Video 2.0, with two modes for extreme and life scenarios respectively. Attitude assessment and compensation are carried out more accurately by Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS). The anti-shake effect, smoothness, and image quality are greatly improved. Ultra Steady Video 2.0 enhances stability for videos taken, minimizing impact on clearness, while retaining slight motions to maintain an authentic visual expression.

Together with Video Bokeh, Video Zoom and AI Beauty Mode, Reno3 Series stimulates the imagination of users by rendering movie-like videos easily. Soloop, the Smart Video Editor, comes in handy for beginners who can confidently get it started to record life stories via videos.

Innovative User-centric Design of OPPO Aesthetics

The Reno3 Series is further innovated based on OPPO’s design language, carrying on OPPO’s brand aesthetics to deliver and show the lightweight, infinite beauty of technology to users. Inspired by the natural light appearing on the sky, the Reno3 Series comes in Midnight Black and Auroral Blue respectively showing the beauty of the mysterious midnight and cheerful morning.

Reno3 Pro comes with the OPPO’s first Dual Punch-hole design, while Reno3 is equipped with waterdrop display, meeting the needs of different group of customers. Featuring 6.4" Super AMOLED Display, Reno3 Pro uses E3 sunlight display materials to enhance sunlight readability.

For mobile gamers, MediaTek Helio P95 also includes MediaTek HyperEngine gaming technology, for fast, fluid graphics and responsive, uninterrupted gameplay.

With ColorOS 7, Reno3 Series also offers a significantly improved gaming performance to provide an immersive and smooth gaming experience.

When will the price come down

festwiz:
Oppo and overpriced products though. They want to sell $500 devices in Nigeria because that works in China.
Unless they release aggressively priced and equally well specced devices like Realms and Redmi, they will not have a solid footing in the Nigeria smartphone scene.

Juanmike:
Another GIGO.
Mycheew, if it's not Samsung or iPhone it's not phone.

I thought the Chinese are saying they don’t need Africans and that is why they are torturing our people in Wuhan. So they seriously want us to buy that rubbish!
While the world is dying China has moved on and even launching new products. Imagine oh!

Oppo is just a notch higher than transition devices but still doesn't change the fact it's trash too albeit a more sophisticated one. But trash is trash at the end of the day
